Southern California Fires?How Is Ventura County?
2007-10-24 21:18:00
We WERE affected by the fires here in Ventura, California?in a small way. Sunday was the worst?and creepiest. We awoke from our 3PM family nap to a sky that was as dark as dusk?the air completely full to saturation with ash. The sun, which you could barely see, was a frightening crimson. It was apocalyptic. The air was so smoky, I put a towel at the bottom of the front door to seal it, closed all the windows, and turned on the air cleaner full-blast! We even made our dog, Kiko, sleep inside because the outside air might have choked her!The next day was a bit better, but you wouldn't have wanted to be outside for longer than a few minutes. Yesterday, the air was good enough for me to run, though I didn't go far for fear that it would get to me. Many schools were closed and the ones that weren't were not allowing the kids to play outside (our little Jaclyn played inside at her preschool). Today looks almost normal with a mere smoky haze in the distance.We were lucky to be a good 20...

End of Real Estate Slump Ventura County
2007-06-04 17:35:00
Market experts predict end of real estate slumpFriday, June 01, 2007While part of the real estate downturn is behind us now, the buyer's market will likely continue for at least two more years, foreclosures are likely to surge and "we're heading into a year with some more price declines," a real estate consultant told an audience of building-industry professionals on Thursday.John Burns, a consultant who presented a housing market outlook during the annual Pacific Coast Builders Conference in San Francisco, said that a combination of factors, including low interest rates and unconventional mortgage products, dug deep into the pool of future home buyers during the prolonged real estate boom. And the market is still adjusting, he said."I know with a very high level of confidence that the number of foreclosures is going to surge," he said, as a high volume of subprime loans and other adjustable-rate loans are headed for a major reset in rates."It's really going to occur -- most of i...

Ventura County Secrets to Buying the Best Home
2007-06-03 23:21:00
5 Secrets to Buying the Best House for Your Money 1. Get "Pre-Approved" - Not "Pre-Qualified!"Do you want to get the best property you can for the least amount of money? Then make sure you are in the strongest negotiating position possible. Price is only one element in the negotiations, and not necessarily the most important one. Often other terms, such as the strength of the buyer or the length of escrow, are critical to a seller.In years past, I always recommended that buyers get "pre-qualified" by a lender. This means that you spend a few minutes on the phone with a lender who asks you a few questions. Based on the answers, the lender pronounces you "pre-qualified" and issues a certificate that you can show to a seller. Sellers are aware that such certificates are WORTHLESS, and here's why! None of the information has been verified!Many times unknown problems can come to the surface! Some of the problems I've seen include recorded judgments, alimony payments due, glitches on th...
