The Prop 19 Reality CheckIf you've recently inherited an Anaheim home, you're facing a decision that's more complicated than it used to be.Before 2021, most adult children could inherit their parents' property tax basis.Now, thanks to Prop 19, that's only possible if you move into the home as your primary residence within one year and the assessed value doesn't exceed $1 million over the factored base year value.What This Means for Your Inherited Anaheim HomeMost heirs don't qualify for the Prop 19 exemption.If you don't move in or the home's value is too high, you'll be reassessed at current market value.In Anaheim, that can mean a jump from a $200,000 assessed value to $800,000 or more, overnight.Your property tax bill could quadruple.The Three Questions We Ask Clients1.

Real estate in Anaheim, California, may be the most diverse market in all of Orange County with regards to home choices and truly is the epicenter for the O.C. as it plays an influential role in the well being of the local economy. Coincidentally, a major factor in that influence is the relative health of the Anaheim real estate market. Because of the diversity of housing available and its relative importance to the O.C., the city of Anaheim rates very well on our Orange County Real Estate area rating system. Anaheim Real Estate guides will help you discover the city.

We have put together a localized blog for North Orange County real estate.  The Foust Team Real Estate Blog is unique.  Our goal is to give both buyers and sellers a place to go (and hopefully return) to gather information that is pertinent to their area.  The concept is to give them easy access and constantly updated new information without being forced to subscribe or sign in.  Many clients want to search and study without being pressured by agents calling or emailing them.

Although we can not argue about the fact that Disney is wonderful. and the happiest place on earth, we also have to give credit to Anaheim.  Guides about Anaheim real estate show that there is a whole lot to Anaheim.  Consider sports, entertainment, dining, unique living spaces, variety of cultures, and great educational opportunities.  Anaheim has it all -- and lots of each.  Property searches at www.foustonline.com will reveal all of the different options and guide the buyers to really popular destinations. Look for yourself, with no sign in required.

I was searching for an investment property for a good friend and client this morning and found several variations of this phrase in the agent remarks "Don't call for availability as your call will not be returned." Yes, this is a direct copy/paste and more mild than many. While I appreciate the honesty of the comment (because they really don't call back), it is yet another example of why Realtors get a bad wrap. On our listings, we welcome calls for status, availability, etc. It gives us an opportunity to network with Realtors, share positive attributes about the property and encourage stronger offers, especially in multiple-offer situations. And the best part, it takes less than one minute to network, sell our listings and maximize the proceeds for our clients. Don't get me wrong - I'v...

Good news for people over 70 1/2 years of age.  Normally they must make a withdrawal each year from their tax free accounts (IRA, 401K, 403B, etc.), based on life expectency tables (age).  But this year therehas been a suspension of this minimum withdrawal requirement.  It was done in order to relieve the pressure on seniors by preventing a forced sale of stocks within their accounts (in a highly depressed market).  This makes a lot of good sense in today's economic environment.  Congratulations to the government on a solid move for our seniors.

It can be very exciting to pick up an all cash buyer - wow, look at the problems we avoid.  Not so fast there Charley -- Some things are too good to be true, so make sure they are true.  We have to insist on seeing the bank statements, and it is not so easy to get these.  International business is slow, and it seems impossible to push them from here.  My clients insist that they have more than enough money, but evidence evades me.  Now we here there is a trust involved in England, and we have to get trustee signatures.  Really sounding difficult -- so a warning to all -- get the proof prior to spend much time with the all cash clients (there is no lender to help you get the income and asset information), you have to do it yourself.

The very significant price declines in condos have started to pull the buyers in.  Of course they have to be qualified and have some money (not all that common), but the phone is ringing about the lower priced condos.  Some of the interest is from first time buyers, but much of the interest is from potential landlords (they are seeing positive cash flow for the first time in years).  With 25% down many of the units are providing positive cash each month.  Investors are excited, and not sure how long this will last.

What a surprise - AR staff is really on the ball (not that I ever thought differently).  I sent in a request about AR "as it is today" versus "as it was" a few weeks ago, and to my surprise I had uncovered a error in their program.  Admitting that they did have an error was more than I had expected (I thought the problem was me) -- but they also awarded me 1,000 points.  Wow - how nice and how unexpected.  Unexpected rewards really cement my very positive opinion of the AR staff - GOOD JOB GANG.

We have been ignoring all of the "buzz" around the office about what the bank will and will not pay.  And it works.  You never get anything that you fail to ask for.  We have been asking for termite work and for home warranties, and the requests have been going through.  Maybe it is just oversights or maybe the banks are changing, but we are getting these requests to go through.  I guess the lesson is that we have to try things on our own, don't fall prey to office rumors from the "experts"  -- things do change.

HOPE for Homeowners The HOPE for Homeowners (H4H) program was created by Congress to help those at risk of default and foreclosure refinance into more affordable, sustainable loans. H4H is an additional mortgage option designed to keep borrowers in their homes. The program is effective from October 1, 2008 to September 30, 2011. As many as 400,000 homeowners could avoid foreclosure through this program over the next three years. If you are having trouble making your mortgage payments, HOPE for Homeowners may be able to help you, by refinancing your loan into a new 30-year fixed-rate loan with lower payments. How the Program Works There are four ways that a distressed homeowner could pursue participation in the HOPE for Homeowners program: Homeowners may contact their existing lender and...
