Buyers, you now have a unique opportunity!

With historically low interest rates and expectations that home prices may dip during an upcoming recession, this could be “Now or Never” time for you to buy a home in the Bay Area.

WANT to KNOW what YOU QUALIFY for RIGHT NOW? NO COST and NO OBLIGATION! We have vetted 100s of local lenders and loan officers. Whether you are seeking conventional financing, FHA, VA, or down payment assistance, we can refer you to the RIGHT lender who will charge you NOTHING for your upfront credit check, NO application fee, and NOTHING for a detailed “What If” analysis that will provide free solid tips to improve your credit score. (Remember, every 20 point increase In your upfront FICO score should save you considerable $ over the life of your loan.)

Not all lenders are the same and neither are their rates!

One of the clients we helped recently saved a FULL one percent off their approved rate from an internet lender and on top of that our lender provided a $9K lender credit and theirs offered NO credit. BIG difference!

For a free referral to an exceptional loan officer that will do as promised above, please call 925-202-6597.

We’ll keep you safe, too!

r e m Sum This month’s article is in response to the increased number of questions we are now receiving in the general topic of 'How's the Market'?

We are asked this question a lot. It is the most asked questions that most realtors get over the span of their careers. This question is generally asked as a conversation piece...you know; small talk. But in today's market with all of the disjointedness we are feeling, people really do want to know. My answer, which is limited to my personal experience and my knowledge of what is selling and what is not, I can only provide, with limited confidence, my opinion of real estate market status.

A normal market generally sees a minor slowdown usually beginning after Memorial Day and the resuming after Labor Day. This summer “Dog Days’ is typical as families are busy with kids out of school, vacations underway, and here at least, so many other things to do. This year things appear to be bucking the normal trend.

In my opinion, today is giving us the tightest Seller's Market that I have seen,....ever. Inventory is low and trending lower. Prices are actually increasing not just at the lower strata of the market but also in more expensive homes as well. A home we recently listed in our area less than a week ago had its first showing request less than 15 minutes after it went onto the MLS. To this point we have had the property show over 40 times, scheduling the showings to that people would have exclusive access to the home per the current rules. We expect to have over a dozen offers, none of which will be below the asking price. It is

unfortunate that we cannot sell this to everyone, and we feel bad for those who will not get this home for which they are qualified to purchase but will not get it. This is true across most of the agents I have had spoken with recently. Lots of eminently qualified Buyers but no homes to sell to them.

This will not last forever. It cannot. There will be a point that more inventory becomes available and the needs of the Homebuyer community will be satisfied. There is one good thing for Buyers, however. Mortgage loan rates continue to be at or near historic low levels. I expect (and my first prediction of the year) that they will remain low until the election in November and perhaps even longer. If you wish to be a homeowner and are worried about the rate, use this time to improve your credit score.

Many mortgage lenders can assist you in improving your score (with the result being a lower interest rate on your mortgage).

During this time, you can also work with your realtor (we know a couple of great ones) and continue the search (often frustrating to be sure) to fins your new home.

As to how long this situation in the market lasts, is still a guess for me, at least. I often make predictions about where the market is heading; I am almost always incorrect, as most people that make predictions. However, if you are a potential Seller now, this may be a good time to making the move, there are lots of people that wish to purchase at this time. If you are a Buyer, you can take advantage of this time to look at homes, improve you credit score, and become more educated in what you need to do, and more importantly, what you want in a home as you may see quite a few.

If you have any questions, please give us a call.

1. Magazine readership has increased over the last 5 years in the United States.

2. 93% of all American adults read magazines regularly.

3. Magazines usually stay in homes and offices for weeks and months (with ads being looked at again and again) while internet ads can disappear into cyberspace in the blink of an eye.

4. Reading a magazine remains a uniquely intimate and immersive experience.

5. Not only is magazine readership up, but readers spend an average of 43 minutes per use.

6. Further, those 43 minutes of attention are typically undivided. Magazines and magazine ads garner the most attention: BIGresearch studies show that when consumers read magazines they are much like to engage with other media or to take part in non-media activities compared to the users of TV, radio or the Internet.

7. Magazines delivers more ad impressions that TV or Web in each half-hour period.

8. Magazine readership in the 18 to 34 segment is growing.

9. Magazines are the No. 1 medium of engagement - across all dimensions measured. Simmons' Multi-Media Engagement Study finds magazines continue to score significantly higher than TV or the Internet in ad receptivity and all of the other engagement dimensions, including "trustworthy" and "inspirational".

10. Magazines outperform other media in driving positive shifts in purchase consideration/intent.

11. Magazines rank No. 1 at influencing consumers to start a search online - higher than newer media options.

12. Magazines reach specific audiences. The only people who pick up this Real Estate magazine are people interested in real estate(buying, selling, etc.).

THE AMERICAN DREAM: Home Ownership

By Patrick McCarran ~ Real Estate Broker

for the typical American to build wealth.

Is there still a value to owning a home? Can I still get down payment assistance? Is buying now a good idea? My answer is absolutely YES. I believe in home ownership 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, the PRIMARY reason to own a home is UNCHANGED. The age of Corona will pass and America will recover because that what we do.

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

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 with grants and secondary loans. Interest is at an all time low and this translates into increased buying power or lower payments.

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 no-down-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.

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.
