STEVE HILL and his “2ND MILE SERVICE” Team

BRE#01065494

E-mail: SteveHillSellsHomes@msn.com

WANT AN AGENT WHO ISN’T AFRAID to PUT HIS MONEY WHERE HIS MOUTH IS?

Real estate agents are NOT all the same! There’s a reason why the following call Steve Hill to represent them when they buy or sale a home: Real estate agents from OTHER companies, brokers, loan officers, commercial real estate agents, attorneys, & real estate attorneys (including law firm partners):

It’s the “2nd Mile” Service . . . plus the 27 years of success negotiating buyer/seller contracts in Contra Costa, Alameda, and Solano Counties for MLS & non-MLS properties, REOs (foreclosures), pre-foreclosures, new construction, probate homes, short sales, corporate relocation homes, HUD homes, BMRs, and more.

It’s a competitive market out there! Multiple offers are still the norm. Perhaps all the examples of Steve helping low-down-payment buyers beat out higher-priced offers—including higher-priced cash offers—may or may not be compelling to you, but this should be:

If you use Steve as your buyer’s agent and face multiple offers and then lose out to an offer with similar (or worse) price and terms as yours, Steve will PAY YOU money! NO KIDDING!!!

P.S. Do you see anyone else with this performance guarantee?

DID YOU KNOW???

Most Homeowner Policies do NOT cover Catastrophic Losses!!!

Events such as Earthquake and Flooding are NOT Covered in your Homeowners Policy At Cat Clinic, a division of Bailey’s Insurance, that is ALL we do!

Earthquake Insurance Policy

We offer different packages tailored to meet your personal, ever changing needs. Tell us what your concerns are so that we can prepare a plan for your specific needs. Our knowledgeable and experienced catastrophic agents will create or adjust a plan according to your desires. Our team is happy to answer your questions and make personalized recommendations based on your input. We are here to represent you and make sure you receive the best possible insurance policy suited to your needs.

Flood Insurance Policy

To avoid unnecessary worry about what the future holds, we ensure that you are covered with established relationships with numerous carriers, let us put together the optimal flood policy that will help you through a trying and sometimes a very frustrating period. Flood policies are underwritten by the (NPIF) National Flood Insurance Program which is controlled by (FEMA) The Federal Emergency Management Agency. The NFIP policies offers the highest level of protection for you. There are other policies available. The programs have to meet or exceed FEMA guild lines. One of the major players in this field is the Lloyd’s of London. Lloyd’s of London is NOT backed by FEMA, however, Lloyd’s is one of the oldest if not the oldest assurance companies in the world. They have never not paid a claim.

They do polices that other companies won’t consider due to underwriting restrictions. Contact us to make an appointment with one of our experienced agents and receive a free estimate.

We’re here to supply you with the insurance you really need.

The combination of your current lower tax rates and the reductions of luxury home prices in many of our high-end communities makes this a very unique opportunity to make your move to El Dorado County.

Real Estate GUIDE • 31

Is the American Dream a thing of the past ?!

By Patrick McCarran Real Estate Broker

Is the American Dream a thing of the past? Is there still a value to owning a home? My answer is absolutely buy a home and not because I sell them actually I am in real estate because of my belief in the value of owning real estate. America is one of a handful of countries where ANYBODY can own property. There has been a great deal of reports of the sky falling with the change in the tax code effecting the deduction of interest and caps on local and state taxes, what most alarmists aren’t telling you is that only a small percentage of loans in the USA are over $750,000 and even with the increase in the personal deductions the PRIMARY reason to own a home is UNCHANGED. The WHY you should own is relatively easy. It seems like every day there are news reports of someone displaced by high rents or the building is sold to a new owner and they are forced to move. Rents are at a high and with the strong resistance to building they will continue to rise and be unpredictable, when you own you know what the payments will be and it your home not the landlord to dictate rules. Mortgage interest will most likely remain the largest deduction for the middle class. Mortgage interest rates remain historically low and there is affair amount of inventory from which to choose. Long-term homeownership continues to be one of the best ways for the typical American to build wealth.

So what’s holding you back? Down Payment? Many people are intimidated by the widely publicized 20-percent down-payment requirement. They don’t realize that there are many federal programs and other methods designed to help homebuyers, and even those who have lost their homes to foreclosure.

For example, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae have loans available to first-time buyers with as little as 3-percent down payment and the FHA has similar programs that require 3.5 percent down and payment. If you qualify there are a number of programs and grants that can help with the down payment. With a seller credit for closing costs I have gotten buyers into a home for as little as $1500 out of pocket. For veterans, the VA program has nodown-payment loans available for qualifying military members and veterans that can close with almost no out of pocket money.

Why wait? What’s the worst that could happen if you buy a home now? You’ve already seen it, the 2007 mortgage crisis. It will take generations, if ever, before the government lets the banking systems get that far out of hand again. It is far more likely that home prices will steadily climb as they have been. Americans are getting back to work and leading the global economy out of stagnation. So don’t be blinded to the future by your past experiences.

The American population will continue to grow and build families of all types, creating more demand for housing.

Don’t view your home as a trading vehicle or a one-way-up investment. Instead, look at the home-ownership benefits that are mostly forgotten by today’s potential homebuyers -- the chance to build equity (instead of throwing rent down the drain) and the opportunity to customize your own environment.

That’s what has always motivated Americans to own their own home. And it isn’t going to change in the long run.

Grab the American Dream now. Start building wealth and stability. Call a REALTOR or a Loan officer you have nothing to loose and everything to gain.

Serving Real Estate Needs Since 1976 Real Estate GUIDE • 39

SO WHAT SHALL WE BUILD? At the end of the 2nd quarter of this year, the Contra Costa County Housing Affordability Index was 29. What that means is that only 29% of families in Contra Costa make enough money to afford to purchase a home. The minimum qualifying income for the area’s home is estimated to be $147,320.

This is for this county alone which is the 2nd best in the San Francisco Bay Area, with Solano County being the most affordable in the Bay Area with an index of 38.

If you are wondering what this means that even in the most affordable areas in the Bay Are to live, well under half of the families cannot afford to purchase a home. This is why there is a loud cry for affordable housing in our area, as well in other much more expensive places to live in the Bay Area. Recent scans of properties for sale in East County yield some interesting information.

As of this writing there are 102 homes for sale with a minimum square footage of 3000 square feet. The average price asked for these homes is $847,944. With a total number of homes available at 497, this constitutes over 20 percent of the inventory that is unavailable to 71% of the families living here today.

The average price indicated in the report for the 2nd quarter is $650,000. Again, as of this writing, 372 homes are priced at $650,000 or less. The median (half are more, half are less) square footage is 1,950 square feet coming with a 3 bedroom, 2 bath layout.

These 2 statistics show clearly that even entry level home is very expensive even in the most affordable area of the Bay Area.

It is clear that we are in need of more affordable housing. There are several options, of course. Developers could build, in order of least to most expensive, apartment complexes, townhome and condominiums, and single family homes. The biggest obstacle, of course, is where can they be built? Often a lot becomes available but is zoned for something other than these options. If it is zoned with these types of home in mind, people who live nearby may object to having them build next to their homes. Cities often charge high development fees and permits charges that make a property unaffordable to build with the end product of affordable housing in mind.

In California, we have a problem coming to grips of immense pressure of housing immigrants and growing families. Often people who are employed in the larger cities want to live close to work for a number of reasons, but the demand for these places far exceeds the supply of them. Companies, fearful of losing talent, try to accommodate this demand with limited to no success.

It is in the interest of the state, county, cities, and citizens to find a solution to the ever increasing problem. So what to you think we should build? Send us your response to caseteam@intero.com and we will compile a list and get it to our local governments.
