I welcome your comments here.
We have short memories; we don’t keep track of data; and we listen to NATION trends rather than study OUR community’s trends.
When we do look back and consider the cyclical nature of the housing market we’ll see that the peaks and valleys are very predictable.
So when I came across this presentation I was impressed. I began thinking: “Let’s see, how can I buy another home?”
A contrarian, by definition, buys when the masses say not to and sells when others are buying. It is not coincidental that successful investors march to their own trend-studies and, not do follow the mass media’s reactionary reporting.
So. What do you think? Ready to brave the storm and buy a home? Everyone else is selling. I know just the expert who can help you.
If you love water sports: fishing, wake boarding, skiing, etc. this is a great weekend or vacation home to consider.
In addition to the obvious water sports there are several golf courses and other recreational venues near by. So, when you are here you really are on vacation.
If you are a true fishing expert you’ll notice that was a trout on my line. Clearlake is one of the best Bass fishing lakes in the Western States but there are no trout. It was just a prop. but fun, none-the-less.

If you have moved since the last election you need to re-register to be able to vote. Even if you only moved across the street you still need to re- register before you can vote. Obviously, if you have not registered before in order to vote on 11/2/2010 you will need to register.
In California, the dead line for registering is 10/18/2010.
It is easy to register. Simply go here and register on line. Or, you can go to the Registrar of Voters office in your city or county and register there. You may also be able to register at your nearest DMV – good luck on anything happening quickly in there however.
This mid-term election is probably the most important one we’ll see in a long time. Please make sure to register. Then, study the issues and candidates, encourage your family, friends and neighbors to do the same. Don’t forget to vote.

If you have been waiting to buy a home, NOW is the time.
If you have been waiting to refinance your current home today is the day.
Neither these rates nor the sale prices will remain down here much longer. Some day soon the bills for “CHANGE” will come due and we’ll see the rates begin to rise.
Look at this AP article for more details.
Gilroy home values have already bounced off the bottom. Likewise, Morgan Hill and Hollister homes have seen a balance in demand and supply.
Time for your co-workers, friends and family to make their move.
What do you think?
Your home is on the market and your water heater goes out. That’s the last thing you want – spend money on something you will not get any return on.
It happened again. A seller in Morgan Hill had their home on the market. One cold morning they went to turn up the heat and found their furnace had gone out. The cost of the installed new furnace: $1,800! While they were warm again their net proceeds from the sale just dropped by a cold, $1,800.
Water heaters, microwave ovens, compactors, ovens, disposals…they all have a functional life and then give up the ghost – without warning. Those repair bills are aggravating and, unnecessary.
A Cool Solution: Home warranty policies are available for sellers as well as buyers. For roughly $.73 a day you can cover all of your major appliances during your listing period. Should something go out you only have to pay a set fee, usually around $55, and the warranty company will repair or replace your appliance for no additional cost. Click here for more information.
The payment for this warranty can be from your net proceeds in escrow. Additionally, if your home doesn’t sell some of the warranty companies won’t charge you anything. So you just can’t lose.
Selling your home can be an anxious time but this little tip will keep your equity in your pocket and provide some peace of mind.
