Sacramento County Foreclosures Worsens the Neighborhood
2008-11-24 14:40:00 Sacramento County is passing through one of the worst phase of foreclosure. The real estate has been hit hard creating a big housing crisis in the region.

Sacramento: Is Now the Time to Buy?
2008-10-21 17:23:00 Now is always a good time to buy. Or so goes sales-speak. But perhaps there is a reason for it beyond just the job of sales? (Yes, it's a job... like any other!) But today I want to discuss with you why I say that about real estate in general and real estate in Sacramento in particular. Time, not TimingAs you can probably tell, I'm not a big fan of timing the market - real estate or otherwise. True, some people can do it pretty well and profit from it, but I believe most people use market timing retrospectively to justify their own fears or expectations. In other words, when the market goes down, the fearful ones feel justified; when it house prices appreciate, the optimistic ones feel victorious. With all this tongue thrusting at one another, the reality of historical price appreciation, the inherent value in real estate and population growth gets ignored. As someone pretty smart once said, "It's about time in the market, not about timing the market." I wish I could remember who...

Sacramento adopts Rental Inspections
2008-10-15 15:55:00 I recently received a letter in the mail from the Code Enforcement Division of the city of Sacramento regarding a rental inspection program they have adopted. According to the letter, a fee of $140 per rental unit for a period of five years (billed annually at $28) will be assessed to landlords and general inspections will be carried out to make sure rentals are safe havens for tenants and do not cause blight. Good idea. Bad execution. Case in point: The inspection time is set for between 8 a.m. to 12 noon. The letter to my tenant doesn't say that the owner must be present. My letter insists I must be present. What am I supposed to do? Sit in the driveway for four hours? Or shoot the breeze with my tenant while we wait for the inspector? A re-inspection fee costs $80 so I'm going to be there.Will keep you posted!
If you live in Sacramento...
2008-10-14 17:10:00 ... and are looking for a nice quiet place to relax on the weekends, come up to Pollock Pines. It's no wonder many Sacramentans and people from the Bay Area buy vacation or second homes here in my neighborhood. While Tahoe is still a drive away from Pollock Pines, the lakes around here provide some quiet calm places to relax and - if you're into that sort of thing - fish, boat or swim.This last weekend, we headed out on our first family picnic to Forebay Lake, less than a mile from the middle of town. We fished, but didn't catch anything, so, darn it, no pictures of huge fish. But here's a random one anyway - a man, his dog and the clear blue water with trout - sigh! It was Sunday and so, so quiet! What's the chances of that ever happening in Sacramento?And yes, shameless plug here, if you're considering a vacation home, give me a call!

Landscaping / Gardening in Sacramento Resource
2008-08-19 15:24:00 If you're one with a particularly green thumb, you should know that landscaping adds on an average 5% increased value to your home. I'm trying to find the basis for where I read this little nugget of information, but am unable to right now. So you'll just have to believe me. :) Landscaping, especially of the front yard adds curb appeal which will make people stop and notice. You want buyers to notice, don't you?One resource I found invaluable in Sacramento is Angela Pratt's website SacramentoGardening.com - not only does the site have valuable information about what to plant and prune in your garden this month, it also has a list of nurseries in Sacramento and coupons for purchases of plants.Remember, all gardening - like real estate - is local. So be sure to check out the site before you plant!
Sacramento County Condo Market Update
2008-08-13 15:54:00 135 condos sold in Sacramento county in the month of July, up from June. Prices fell to $125,000 from last month's $135,000.130 condos went pending sale, the same as last month! Inventory is up again to 624.Interestingly enough, I think the lackadaisical response of most home buyers to condos is partly because single family homes are so inexpensive. In my opinion, condos will trail behind single family sales for a while. Especially in Sacramento, we see people buying condos when they can no longer afford houses.Whether the downtown projects to make upscale condos succeed is yet to be seen.
Sacramento County Real Estate Market Update: Single Family Homes
2008-08-12 15:24:00 I just gave myself the biggest fright: while checking statistics for Sacramento county in the MLS, I incorrectly ended up checking sales on only July 1st instead of the entire month of July. The number of sales hovered around a hundred. I thought the end of real estate had definitely begun! In my defense, I am on my first cup of coffee. So - now with the right numbers and another swig of this homemade Starbucks - on to the real statistics...Median price has fallen again to $215,000 from June's $220,000. Days on market remain at 49. 1968 homes sold in the month of July and pending homes are at almost the same number as June: 2064.Perhaps the biggest change is how many new listings came on the market: almost three times the amount as in June: 3903. There seems to be evidence that the market is beginning to absorb these however: there are a total of 8005 active homes in Sacramento county but inventory is down to 4 months from June's 4.6 months.Follow the numbers: June's real estate ...

Yes, "mommy-brain" is a real phenomenon.Yes, please come back tomorrow for the market update on Sacramento county.
Sacramento Airport 1 pm 25 July 2008
2008-07-25 21:57:00 What has Sacramento got that Heathrow and Washington do not? Free wifi in the airport!Dennis, Julie and Ty have dropped me off. Thank you for all your love, fellowship and hospitality. I have made new friends and met some beautiful young ladies :-)It was an eventful check in. I was about to go through security when the tannoy called my name. I was to go back to the check in. They wanted the combination to my case lock. I thought the lock was to stop them getting in my case.After three attempts I finally negotiated the metal detector. I think it disliked my belt buckle and the cavalry badge on the hat Dennis gave me.Then security said they had to open my bags. Voila! In my pipe case was the knife I could not find this morning. So folks, if you need to locate your missing metal I recommend Sacrament airport security. They even offered to let me go back and put it in my case . I declined.

2008-07-10 21:12:00 I guess I stand corrected: it isn't exciting out there this month in real estate.

Sacramento Real Estate Gal Shakeup and the Truth about Cats and Dogs
2008-05-29 17:17:00 In spite of the fact that we're having a baby, my husband and I decided to get another cat. Actually, I decided it - he just thought it wouldn't be such a bad idea. Since moving from Sacramento to Pollock Pines, the number of cats we have has gone down from three to one. So, we get Fuggles. We also have a dog. But besides the fact that they are cat and dog, there is one major difference between these two and that is this: for entertainment, Fuggles will irritate and aggravate things, people and animals around her. The carpet, the dog, the other cat, even us. The dog will just look morose and hope to be noticed. But where am I going with this? Don't worry - I haven't finally just lost it.I'm finally beginning to understand the beauty of Fuggles' world. When you feel like you're stuck in a rut, you just have to shake things up - even if it means aggravating everyone around you. Thankfully, the changes coming to Sacramento Real Estate Gal shouldn't be too aggravating - but I am...
