Whittier California: Even in Winter, a Wonderfully Liveable Community
The holiday season is a great time to enjoy Whittier's own brand of winter cheer; and in keeping with the trends in real estate over the last few months, a choice time to buy Whittier area property.
Sales of single family homes in October 2009 in Whittier added up to 117, with the average sales price hovering around $370K. While the majority of homes sold for prices between 3% and 20% lower than those of a year earlier--October 2008--homes sold in the 90601 and 90602 zip codes actually showed a sharp increase in price, certainly great news for Whittier area home sellers!
The average listing price among Whitter area homes for sale at the end of November was $453K , with some 350…

Because Los Angeles has a Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO), raising rent can be tricky if you are not familiar with RSO’s regulations. It is important for Los Angeles real estate agents to understand the type of dwellings that are included in RSO, and the structures that are exempt from its statutes. In addition it is important to know under which circumstances a tenant can be legally evicted. When realtors understand the law, they can knowledgably advise their clients, the Los Angeles real estate investors.
The ordinance’s aim is to protect tenants from unscrupulous landlords who would unjustly raise rent while failing to maintain their properties. Further it seeks to protect occupants from owners who would use coercion and bullying to make their…

If you've found this blog post you are most likely already interested in the Element Lofts developed by the now bankrupt John Laing homes.
I spent all day saturday 11/28/09 with clients looking at all the different floorplans and learning about how the auction (run by IntelliMarket) is going to be run.

“Shadow inventory” is the term many Real Estate prognosticators have been using to describe homes that were foreclosed on which the bank held on to and did not try to resell right away, in hopes of selling them later on when the market is more favorable to the bank, at a higher price. By taking the number of foreclosures that banks have taken back and subtracting the number of foreclosures they have since resold, one can find the number of foreclosures the banks still have possession of, their “shadow inventory”. The numbers of such properties were on the rise until September of 2008, when banks began reselling foreclosure properties at a rate higher than the number of foreclosures they were receiving from trustee sales. Sales transactions have been…

Due to the success of the 2009 Homebuyer Tax Credit program lawmakers (on November 6, 2009) have extended and expanded eligibility for the $8000 Homebuyer Tax Credit into 2010. This popular rebate program proved to be an incentive to first time homebuyers and caused a direct increase in home sales at the end of 2009. The original program was due to expire on November 30, 2009. The Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009 extends this deadline for closing on the homes until April 30, 2010 or until June 30, 2010 for those buyers who have a binding contract in effect by the end of April 2010.
To qualify as a first time homebuyer the buyer must not have owned a primary residence in three years previous to the purchase date. Lawmakers…

As of 11/26/09 there are over 1,000 short sales being sold publicly via the SoCAL MLS/CARETS IDX data feed in Active status in the city of Los Angeles alone, 1,015 to be exact (this does not include anything listed in Los Angeles County). 790 of the 1,015 are listed below the Fannie Mae traditional conforming loan amount of $417,000 and 945 of the 1,015 are below the new super conforming loan amount limit of $729,000. Of these 1,015 listings 310 are priced below $200,000. Only 25 of the properties are listed at $1 million+ price range. My takeaway: Short Sales are typically much better suited for the first time FHA approved home buyer than REO's because
