The Burial Ground in Agoura Hills CA I have posted some articles in the past about the rich history of Agoura Hills CA and surrounding communities, all together called the Conejo Valley CA. The native population that settled this region of California for 1,000's of years, up until the late 1700's was the Chumash Indians. What I recently found out, courtesy of the recently released book "Images of America Agoura Hills" by Susan Pascal, is that in 1969 a Von's Supermarket anchored shopping center out here in Agoura Hills (a staple in our community), upon commencing construction, found human remains. Work was stopped and for about 6 months archaeologists and other performed a full excavation of the site and found that it was a Chumash burial ground of hundreds of bodies that were found, wh... 09/03/2013

  Agoura Hills Market Update - July 2013       The market continues to remain strong in Agoura Hills.  Buyers now have a little more time to find their home than in the previous few months.  Homes are sitting on the market longer and we are seeing more price reductions in recent weeks.  The market is still improving, but it is no longer the torrid we have seen over the first half of the year.  Rising interest rates have caused the pace of the market to slow down, and thus prices are leveling out.  The conditions of the market are 'normalizing' in this way.  Homes that are priced well will sell, while homes priced too agressively are likely to stay on the market without offers. We are also seeing that, due to rising prices and interest rates, homes are becoming less affordable.  With les... 08/20/2013

The Huge Upswing in Buyers Using the Internet In the Buying Process We keep hearing the increasing percentage of home buyers that are using technology and everything it has to offer in searching for a home.  But the huge upswing in buyers using the internet in the home buying process keeps growing and growing. A recent report from the California Association of Realtors (CAR) found that 96% of home buyers are using the internet at some point during the home buying process.  What is astounding about his figure is its comparison to past years.  In 2005 that percentage was 62% and in 2000 it was a mere 28%.  That is a huge...monterous...gigantic increase.  I feel that the 96% number is likely closer to 100% as every home buyer we come across has found properties or has researched communitie... 07/14/2013

June, 2013 Market Report - Agoura Hills     The housing for June 30th shows that the market is slowing, and that higher interest rates are having an effect.  We have already seen interest rates rise a full point.  According to Mark Moskowitz, a top Real Estate Agent in Southern California who specializes in Los Angeles andVentura County Real Estate, the average buyer has seen their payments go up 25-30% for the same loan.  Mark noted that every day, his lenders are sending him revised qualification letters for his buyers.  Clients that could afford a $700,000 home are now qualifying for a home priced in the high $500,000 to low $600,000 range.   This definitely will affect home values.  The reason home prices have risen 15-20% in the first half of 2013 is due to the artificially low int... 07/09/2013

Home Prices Will Continue to Rise as Inventory Continues to Shrink We are all noticing an increase in sales price and lack of inventory in many markets around the country.  Home prices will continue to rise as inventory continues to shrink.  Here are just a sample of some market statistics to keep an eye on. Specifically in the Conejo Valley California area that includes Agoura Hills, Oak Park, Westlake Village, and Thousand Oaks, inventory in down to less than 2 months.  Crazy to think about.  Listings of new homes are pretty rare as well as available homes for our buyers.

Agoura Hills Short Sale Agent ~ FREE Help   Chances are that you or someone you know may need the help of a Short Sale Agent in Agoura Hills.

When the current market value of a home is less than the total mortgage balance owed, the mortgage company is asked to accept less than the amount that they are owed as a settlement.  Why might a lender or mortgage company accept a short sale? Banks do not want to foreclose on a home because, usually , the foreclosure will cost them more money than a short sale. The short sale is generally more beneficial to both the lender and the homeowner or borrower. Short sellers are homeowners that are e... 04/10/2013
