Interest Rates Down, Ideal For Home Loans

Just off the Monday phone call with my lender, rates way down! http://bit.ly/cAxXkm

Not much raises my eyebrows these days but this is incredibly cheap money. I wish my mortgage was this low......hmmm maybe that's a good idea! Apparently Bank of America is running a promotion this month on home loans and they are waiving up to two points on home loans to get the pricing down. I'm staring at FHA loans down at 4.25% with zero points being paid. I don't normally get too excited about mortgage rates but this is just downright cheap! Thought I'd pass it along and somebody can benefit from this info.



My lender offering this promotion can be found in the link above or below in the left column entitled Dan's Home Loan and Mortgage Blog.

What's the most important resources in finding a home? Survey Results

Flipped through some customer surveys from a popular new home builder and found something interesting. A question asked "What do you think were the most important resources were in finding a new home?" The two most popular answers from clients were The Internet and a Realtor. The Internet actually came in first but we're happy coming in 2nd....for now :)

I guess it's really not a huge surprise, the Internet is sort of...well.. AMAZING. Still, I'm glad to see that the public still values a good buyers agent and while we may not be seen as quite "amazing" as the Internet (at least from this survey) there is no doubt that we are still valued. THANK YOU PUBLIC! We try! ;)

Sure this is by no means empirical research and there are a billion other questions that come to mind. Like do they see the one as a replacement of the other, do they prefer them working in tandem, was the survey given before or after negotiations, what kind of experience did they have have with an agent and so on. The point is that on a quick "whatever springs to your mind first" survey the Internet and Realtors are first.

This begs two questions:

1) If you're a Realtor, and you don't have a web presence, what exactly are you waiting for? Your potential clients would really appreciate it!
2) If you are trying to shop for homes strictly online without the help of any professional, maybe it is time to listen to the folks who've already bought something!

As for us, these results just motivate us to keep pushing forward with the things we preach. Give the clients the tools they want (online) and provide the human touch that fills the blanks those tools miss.

Maybe it's just a HUGE coincidence but reading survey likes this makes it a lot easier forking over the checks for the upgrades to our website. By the way, anybody that wants to beta test the new version of our home search just let me know and I'll send you a copy. Have a great week!

Waterfront property: a subjective term

Makes you wonder how much a view like this would be worth and glad that its not for sale!

Taken from the Canadian side of Niagara Falls during a trip this summer. Hope everybody makes time to get out there and see some stuff.

Tax credit extension passes house

Last minute stand alone bill passed house today. Senate still needs to vote, may happen tomorrow. This will extend the home buyer tax credit closing deadline which happens to expire tomorrow. Over 100,000 homebuyers caught up in escrow may miss tax credit if this doesn't happen. Lots of nail biting tonight, keep your fingers crossed for them!

3322 Hideaway Ln Fullerton CA 92835 - Home for Sale

3322 Hideaway Ln Fullerton CA 92835 - The Absolute BEST PRICE IN AREA on an Upgraded Home that's over 3,500 sqft and sits on a completely usable half acre or more lot!

This beautiful ranch style home in the Old Sunny Hills/Hermosa Drive Neighborhood sits in a very quiet cul-de-sac among beautiful mature trees. From the curb, the home has kept the popular low slung ranch character, but upon opening the front door you'll notice it gets even better!

The one criticism ranch homes receive is that they don't follow the popular "open concept" , the first thing you'll notice about this home is how well it embraces it! Besides just flowing nicely into the living room, dining area, and outdoor deck, the enormous kitchen has been upgraded with oversized island, chef grade appliances, granite counters/tumbled travertine backsplash, accent lights, high ceilings and more. The "wow" factor for this kitchen is extremely high and is truly an entertainers delight. Master Bedroom is also spectacular with high vaulted ceilings, private deck, oversized shower with dual shower heads, dual vanity, and walk-in closet. While the indoor living space in this home should satisfy the fussiest of home buyer, it is the outdoor space that just takes it one step further. Multiple decks provide perfect areas to barbeque or just enjoy the kind of backyard they just don't build anymore. A pool area accented by an array of tropical trees and plants provides the perfect backyard escape. And finally, a giant flat grassy yard with a half-court (basketball) and room for RV or Boat. Plenty of room for a game of volleyball, a huge party, soccer, or whatever you like.

There really is too much to mention (like the family room den, dual fireplaces, paved driveway, etc) so this is one that needs to be appreciated in person. Don't delay, homes like this don't come to our market very often. More details at 3322 Hideaway Ln Fullerton CA 92835

409 Malvern Ave, Fullerton CA 92832 - For Sale

409 Malvern Ave, Fullerton CA 92832 - 3 Bedroom Craftsman Home, Downtown Fullerton $525,000

The BEST VALUE on the market for a 3 Bedroom Craftsman home on an interior street in the popular Jacaranda, Malvern, Brookdale historical neighborhood. The neighborhood is in the area of Golden Hill and is one of the most popular in North Orange County, especially for those who appreciate vintage homes and Craftsman Bungalow architecture.

This home will not disappoint the vintage home enthusiast as it has been lovingly preserved to still reflect the Arts and Crafts character that makes these homes so popular. This would include restored hardwood floors, numerous built ins, kitchen nook, double hung wood windows, an expansive front porch, and many other craftsman staples. Many of the expensive upgrades that must be done to keep a vintage home from turning to just an "old house" have already been completed as well. This would include but not limited to new sewer lines, new electrical, new copper plumbing, and new drain lines.

Malvern is a street in the neighborhood that is always popular for the mature oak trees that run along it and the potential for elevated lots. This lot is one of them at sets just above the sidewalk creating dramatic and charming curb appeal. In the back, you'll find the property also has a nice, grassy, terraced, backyard perfect for summer BBQ's.

This house has it all and we expect it to not last long, make sure you don't miss your chance!
