COULD YOU USE UP TO $50,919 IN DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE?

A spokesman for the California Association of Realtors has stated that there were 300+ programs in CA with funds available for down payment assistance. The average down payment “help” was $50,919. Some of these programs are specific to certain towns and some are available statewide for those meeting a few criteria. My team would be happy to show you—without cost or obligation—how much down payment assistance YOU qualify for in Contra Costa, Solano, and Alameda County. Give us a call (925-202-6597) and explore down payment assistance money that could easily be yours.

WARNING: Do not be fooled! Most lenders are NOT up to speed on all the available programs in your county! Ask us about CALHFA, Platinum, Sapphire, and MCC programs.

WHERE HAVE ALL THE BUYERS GONE? This exact question was posed to me by a fellow Realtor a couple of weeks ago. My answer (in a very flip manner) ‘They have all gone to Houston to look for bargains.’

While answer didn’t help him much, it did present us with what occurs to markets whenever there is uncertainty. How does uncertainty relate to home buyers when there is a disaster in a far location? To be sure, the news media pummeled us with the destruction and loss of life and property in Texas and even though it had no direct relationship to us here, the feeling one gets when this is seen (and again with the hurricane in FL not to mentions the wildfires here in CA) there is an underlying feeling of uncertainty.

Uncertainty is a market depressor, just as a national feeling of exuberance brings confidence into the market (for example, when Hurricane Irma did not wipe Florida off the face of the US map, the stock market immediately hit all time highs).

Of course, more personal uncertainty is more important to the individual; things like losing the job, family problems, health issues and many more items can add uncertainty to one’s life and put ideas like the purchase or sale of a home well down on the priority list. It is rare that market uncertainty occurs but I would expect that it is a definite contributor to where the Buyers have gone. We are in what appears to me to be in very uncertain times, with strife seeming to face us at every corner. Issues overseas and at home are on our mind and come up very often in discussion.

I believe those who can overcome uncertainty can do well in our market. With all of the other Buyers having gone to Houston allows those who remain to have a much larger number of homes to select from and to offer at prices that may be much more approachable.

Is there evidence to support this? I believe so. In the past month in Brentwood, 87 homes sold with an average number of 25 days on market. Today, there are 159 active listings (properties for sale) with an average of 61 days on market (99 of them on market over 25 days); relatively few of these properties have had price reductions to this point. This is typical of the market today.

If you are a Buyer, not just in Brentwood, but in any location, this may be the time to buy before everyone else comes back from Texas.

Preserve Equity, Build for the Future Using a 1031 Tax Exchange

By Patrick McCarran Better Homes and Gardens Mason-McDuffie With the recent upswing in homes values we have realized a growth in equity as well. This leaves many owners thinking that they may be stuck in an investment property? Whether you bought it as an investment or it was an owner occupied that went past you 3 year deferment period you have options. Maybe you would prefer an investment in a different city, region or even another state? Possibly you would like to combine many properties into few or few into many? The answer is a 1031 Tax Exchanges otherwise known as a Starker Exchange. This process allows real estate owners to defer taxes on capital gains resulting from the sale of investment real estate, often a sizable sum since combined Federal and State taxes can run as high as 38 percent.

In general terms to roll their profit into another property and defer the tax and preserve equity and cash flow.

To accomplish this, sellers need to engage a Qualified 1031 Intermediary to document the sale as an exchange and to receive the funds from the sale. I can not stress the importance of a THIRD party for the exchange. This does NOT mean a title or escrow company. By definition you can not have any direct control over the funds, which is not just in your pocket but anywhere within your reach Central to a 1031 Exchange is the interpretation of like-kind property. While the common assumption is that like-kind implies land for land or a condominium for a condominium swap, the definition of like kind has become far less literal. Today it defines like kind as meaning that both the replacement and the original property must be used as an investment. So land, condominiums, single-family homes and motels can all be exchanged for one another as long as they are used in the exchanger’s business or held as an investment.

1031 Exchanges do have specific IRS requirements and a set timeframe for performing. This is why it is very important that you contact an experience agent such as myself and engage the Intermediary BEFORE you close and ideally before you place the property for sale.

There Are other options for example you can opt for a Reverse Exchange where you buy the replacement property first then sell the current property. An Improvement Exchange, allows you to build investment properties from the ground up or improve existing properties.

If you want more information on 1031 Exchange or have any questions feel free to contact myself or a real estate professional you know. Make sure that he or she is familiar not only with the process but also with the specific documentation and time frame mandated by the IRS.
