Five Bedroom Homes in Santa Clarita Valley

November 4, 2011 By

[spatialmatch_popup id=1 appearance=link width=100%]

We are local real estate agents in Santa Clarita ValleyIt is not very cost effective to be paying for the ability to search for homes and real estate.  But most will pay for being able to search the Foreclosure systems on the world wide web.  I say, stop it.  Get with a local real estate agent in the area in which you are wanting Foreclosures and Bank Owned properties hunted.  After you find one that you like, ask them how they find the ‘off market’ foreclosures and how they get previews of the coming foreclosures.

They should have similar systems to what we offer our exclusive clients:

To do the search for all of the five bedroom homes in the Santa Clarita Valley, including – Castaic, Canyon Country, Saugus, Stevenson Ranch, Valencia and Newhall – all you have to do is click on the link at the top of this Santa Clarita Real Estate Blog Post.

Santa Clarita Real Estate Update for Saturday The Seventh day of October 2011

October 8, 2011 By

Santa Clarita Paris911 REMAXHa, the Seventh Day…  I won’t get into all of that now.  But here is the latest Santa Clarita Real Estate update for the Santa Clarita Valley Real Estate world. (BTW – at the home page of paris911.com you can view a more complete update that will span the last year of time and the market activity for the cities that are within the Santa Clarita Valley – Just scroll down on the page below my video’s!)

A couple of other things that we have put together with our MacBoX functionality – We have implanted a couple of new real estate keywords for the Santa Clarita Home Search to assist our clients with their real estate needs:

  • santa clarita homes
  • santa clarita apartments
  • MLS
Each of these keyword phrases are all working as we speak within the Paris911.com MacBoX.  Go to our Mother Santa Clarita Real Estate Site at Paris911 and you can type in any of those phrases into our MacBoX.
Today in the Santa Clarita Real Estate World – Buyers are Frustrated and Sellers are not getting the return they want from the Real Estate they are trying to sell.  We have also watched as interest rates dove to a level that has never been seen before in the interest rate world since they started keeping track of “interest rates” in the early ’70′s.
We just had a client quoted a 3.78% interest rate – without any “buy down”.  Unbelievable.  I’d think that would spark some additional buyer interest to get into this market – Time will Tell.
Here is how the current 24 hour snapshot of the Santa Clarita Real Estate inventory stacks up:
  • 24 new listings have entered the Santa Clarita Re-Sale Market
  • 32 Listings have experienced price changes – Mostly down from their previously listed price
  • 7 properties have Bom’d – went Back on Market – Falling out of escrow
  • 4 Properties have entered Back-up status
  • 3 properties expired from within contract  - not selling
  • 22 properties have gone into the much more secure position of reflecting a Pending Status
  • 10 properties have closed escrow
That is it for today. I have the pleasure and honor to show some new clients Valencia’s Belcaro’s, The Bridgeport Island and Sand Canyon Listings that are on the market for sale.  Should be Fun!!!

FHA Loan Amounts are Shrinking, is that bad news for the Santa Clarita Real Estate Sellers and Buyers?

September 28, 2011 By

FHA loan limits are shrinkingWe have been published as Santa Clarita Real Estate agents once again in The Signal, the Santa Clarita Local Newspaper.  It is always our pleasure to speak about the status of the Real Estate Market.

Today the questions as posed by Jana – The Business Reporter for the SCV Signal were as follows.  This includes my responses as well:

Effective Saturday, Oct. 1, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will cut the size of loans they buy from lenders, forcing some future buyers into jumbo loan status.

In Los Angeles County, the loan limits for a single-family home in L.A. County is $625,500.

 1.    How much of an impact do you expect this change to have in the Santa Clarita Valley market?

As of Today, Located in the Santa Clarita Valley, cities of Valencia, Stevenson Ranch, Saugus, Newhall, Castaic and Canyon Country, we have 1338 total active listings that are on the market for sale.  Those include Single Family Residences, Condo’s, Town-homes and Manufactured homes.  When taking the new FHA limits into account we have to see how many properties are at and above that $625,500 amount.  The total number of homes in the aforementioned cities that are active right now and for sale exceeding the new FHA Loan Amount is 136(inquiry amount to 5M)

Subtracting the two figures from one another – 1338 total active residential listings minus 136 total listings over the new FHA lending guidelines equals – 1202 total listings that are within the new FHA guidelines.  With this new “loan limit” I know we are going to see “marginal impact” with the borrowers in the higher amounts.  It has been our experience most borrowers in that range also have the ability to generate conventional type lending.

When I search for those properties that are priced between the “new” FHA loan amount to where the bar was set by FHA in the past, at $729,750, That leaves us 31 total active listings that would no longer able to be purchased with the New FHA Lending limit. That would have been able to be purchased before this change.

31 is not a “landslide” – unless you are that specific home seller in that price range and your only lookers were depending on that “old” FHA Lending Limit.

2.    Of those affected, what will the impact be?

31 Sellers that have their homes listed for sale between the new FHA Limit and the Old FHA Limit – They are going to have to either reduce their sales price to conform with the FHA limits or wait for that conventional buyer or a buyer that doesn’t mind paying for the jumbo rate.

The Buyers that were wanting to purchase between the new $625,500 and the $729,750 – They are going to need to check into a 5% conventional or 10% conventional lending product (they still exist).  Or step up to a 20% conventional loan.  They might also need to “reduce” their wants if FHA is the only way they are going to have the down payment at 3.5%.

Are you tired of getting the run around from Real Estate agents?

September 12, 2011 By

Did you know the number one complaint about Realtors is that they don’t call back or keep in touch with their clients?

It’s True according to the National Association of Realtors – the Masses have spoken and they could be happier :-)

The other side of the coin that I see from them not keeping in contact with their past or current clients are the “others” that opt everyone in automatically.

This happens to me after networking events with some of the larger networking groups in the Santa Clarita Valley.

Here is the other side of the coin.  You inquire about a real estate property for sale.  You then are signed up for a real estate agents email list and newsletter.  You get several emails a week about Real Estate or about how GREAT the Realtor Is.

I love Real Estate and have built my career around it, but there is nothing that is interesting enough, making a daily email blast hammering clients, necessary.  So, what can you do if you have a simple request and don’t want to have the same fate befall you?

You can get off those HUGE lead generation search systems for real estate and use local resources.  Those local resources can be gotten on the phone, if they violate you, and you can give them a piece of your mind.

Here is one such local resource showing the property price points for specific homes.  A video presentation showing you how the system works and how to make the best use of it.

BE Safe and we will look forward to speak with you soon.

Bankruptcy, Foreclosure or would a Short Sale Be better?

August 17, 2011 By

The question of the day needs some further clarification.  I am not an attorney nor do I play one on TV.

However, we have been blessed to have met some of the best attorney’s that call the Santa Clarita Valley their home.

We had Santa Clarita Bankruptcy Attorney Lou Esbin on our Santa Clarita Radio Show sometime back and are Vamping up to start a regular show.  While Lou and I aren’t related – he is someone that our clients are thankful for.

A better way to answer the question of, “Bankruptcy, Foreclosure or would a short sale be better?”, would be to first explain that they are three different things.

We will have Lou on the Radio Show in the coming weeks to discuss the differences and address our callers concerns.

Also – Lou gives our clients the $100.00 special to discuss your Legal Options if you get to these crossroads in life!
