Anna's California Foothill Rain

There are two major areas in Folsom.  One is Broadstone which is a 1,600 acre development near Highway 50. Bro adstone is unique in that it was completely developed by Elliott Homes, Inc. Broadstone consists of single family homes, apartments, office, and retail centers.  It is also home to the B...

f you've wanted to live in El Dorado Hills due to its excellent location, terrain, schools - this is about as close to the best time to buy the home you've been dreaming about.  There is still great inventory, but will they be affordable a year from now?   Right now there is still choice, and exc...

I almost don't want to write this, other than as a warning, that not all is at it seems. I've been working with a "cash buyer" for 4 months.  We had an offer on one place, but was torn between possibly buying another place closer to where he lived which was in Bay Area.  His emails were of great ...

The same set of market dynamics are in play.  Buyers are there and having a field day with selection and pricing.  I wish the short sales would go away.  In my area, Sacramento Caliornia and surrounding counties, they are rarely coming to fruition,  Most end up going into foreclosure anyway becau...

Reading the local homebuyer's guide.  Headline is "Good times.  Really.  Despite the gloomy housing news, first-time buyers are scoring incredible deals.  Here's how.".......it goes on to say "We have reached a point where it is actually affordable to own a home again, and it is so crucial that t...

Boy are the buyers out there and they are scouting, scouting, scouting.  Not sure about you and your areas, but I have been out almost daily starting about 3 weeks ago.  Now, getting pen on paper...well.  That's when we ask, Are We Having Fun Yet?Even if the buyers see something they like, the ne...

I see posts on this from April of last year.  Interested to know if those agents have continued using the single property sites.That is an interesting thought, that buyers don't have to sift through a bunch of listings to see the specific one they want.Thanks, All.  Anna

This market is a head turner.  The two hats are writing offers for your buyers and being thrilled they get such a good deal, then putting on the other hat with your sellers because you aren't able to bring them the price they needed to comfortably sell their home.   But, if a seller is moving, ha...
