Apple Valley, CA Market Report Week Ending 11/17/10
Here is the news you can use regarding the housing market.
There are currently 445 residential homes listed in Apple Valley.
Additionally there are
56 homes contingent. (That means they are waiting on further action from the seller or buyer. We can't put in pending until something agreed upon happens.)
There are 173 homes pending or in escrow.
The week of 11/11/10-11/17/10 had 22 homes sold.
7 went over asking, 4 at asking and 11 under asking.
Many listing noted multiple overs regardless of days on market.
The average home was 2085 sq ft. Sold at 73.16 a sq ft in 46 days for $155,223, which was $98.93 of asking price.
The lowest price home was $65K, it sold for cash.
The highest price home sold at $269,000. It sold with a conventional loan.
It's a great time to buy! Interest rates are great. Our affordabilityrate is very high. I was just looking at an article from 2006 talking about how hard is was to buy an affordable home. It was very "discouraging to new home buyers'. We as agents and home sellers look back on that as the good old days and when are things going to get back to housing prices then. Well folks we are never going to make everyone happy. Someone is always going to be out of the market. If it's your time to buy or sell, call me, lets get cracking. If you are waiting for the market to get back to the good old days. Hang on to my info and give me a call then, I'll still be here giving you these market reports.
One final thought, hope you had a very blessed Thanksgiving. One of my kid's has an assignment to write down 5 things to be thankful for every day. If I had the same assignment, on my list today, I would be thankful to you for reading my blog.

So You Want to Buy Your First House
Congratulations, you are ready to walk down the road that leads to home ownership.
How what?
You can look on line at house and start getting an idea of what appeals to you.
Our local MLS (Multiple Listing Service, i.e. the web site where the houses are) is WWW.VVMLS.COM . This is for the Victor Valley, in So. Calif.
You need to do 2 things,
1-Prepare financially to show that you can buy a house.
*You can gather bank statements showing you have the amount of money it takes to buy the house you are looking at.
*Find a good trust worthy lender
You must be prepared to let them run your credit and answer questions about your finances and back up your answers with bank statement, tax records and pay check stubs or other proofs of your finance.
The lender will give you a letter letting the seller know that you are qualified
buyer. The letter is known as a pre-qual.
HINT:If you don’t have a file with all your current information, start one now so you aren’t wondering where it is later.
2-Look for a real estate agent that will help you find the home of your dreams.
If you are in the Victor Valley looking, you can call me.
Honestly I’m not the agent for everyone; I’m not going to sell you a house.
I’ll help you find a home. I have a laid back style and am not pushy. I also talk a lot. I do call you back and I try to show up on time to our appointments and if I’m late, I call you. So you make prefer someone with more razzmatazz or more or less of something else. There are many agents out there. You will spend a lot of time with your agent. Find someone you like.
You now have your “pre-qual” in one hand and your agent in the other, time to go look at houses.
If you are working with me, we will have talked about what you want in a home and what area you want to live in. I put your criteria into the computer and you will start receiving e-mails with houses that match what you are looking for. Now we don’t have a button for ugly, so you get a lot of good and bad. But when you see one that makes you go, “Hummm, I’d like to look at that”, we talk about it and make sure it’s still OK to go see.
Happy House Hunting. Next we’ll take about making an offer.

Reasons To Go To A Real Live Tax Person
Sure you may save a few bucks if you do your taxes yourself.
But my dear clients, PLEASE LISTEN when I go though the contract and point out what you want to talk to your tax person about.
This is the time of year to do it.
You are doing your taxes anyway, go in and get tax advice.
Should I buy now?
What about the way I am holding title on my house, does it give me and mine the best protection possible?
Should I re-fi?
Should I be looking for a rental for tax purposes and how will that effect my next year? and future years?
If you are in the Victor Valley area, and you are looking for someone to give you personal service and straight talk, call who I go to for taxes, Tery Lucus, 760-242-7422, tell her Karen@ Hamilton Landon GMAC sent you.
