Home Sales in the San Fernando Valley were up 110.5% for the month of October 08 compared to October 07 based on the latest numbers released by SRAR ( Southland Regional Association of REALTORS ) The "Valley" includes communities like Studio City, Sherman Oaks, Toluca lake, Burbank, Encino, North Hollywood and Calabasas  The spike in sales can be partially attributed to a 30% drop in Average Home Price to Approx $410,000 based on 745 Homes sold in the month compared to a peak of almost $640,000 in 2007. But Sellers and buyers are still showing signs of dementia and unrealistic thinking. Home owners still overvalue their properties in todays market and buyers are continuing to test the waters with incredible low ball offers to the dismay of listing agents citywide.

I got brought in to shoot some twilight shots that could be used for the cover of the MLS Open House Guide. I love this house. It had great architectural lines and amazing views of the valley. This was a fun shoot. I think I able to get some cool shots for them to choose from. I had to break out a lot of my lights to get things just how I wanted them, but getting “the shot” is what makes it so fun. Here are a few photos from the shoot.  Let me know what you think.                     Gregory Agent Headshots | Real Estate Photographywww.lahomephotography.com     +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ LA Home Photography offers top-of-the-line professional architectural and real estate photography inLos Angeles, the valley, and surrounding areas.

So with the financial market turmoil still ongoing, and no end in sight - Lehman Brothers self-destructed yesterday, and AIG is scrambling to borrow over $70B in cash today or will likely follow suit - what's happening to the real estate market in Los Angeles? Or another way to put it is: Have We Hit Bottom Yet??? (If you don't want to read all the stats you can skip to the conclusion at the end of the blog!)Leslie Appleton-Young, chief economist for the California Association of Realtors just generated a fresh report hot off the press. Most important/notable findings for those of us thinking of buying, selling and/or investing:1. The number of California sales hit bottom in 2007 at a -44% decline. Now in 2008, the number of California homes sold is on the upswing - an increase of 15% ...

Home staging in Sherman Oaks by Moving Mountains Design Home Staging brings in the offers. We recently had the opportunity to stage a beautiful Mediterranean style new construction home in Sherman Oaks, CA. The home had been on the market unstaged for several months, with no offers. Across the street was another new construction home in a similar style, also for sale, at almost the exact same price, with similar square footage, lot size, etc. The home staged by Moving Mountains Design sold - the other home (staged by another company) is still for sale.                     Here is a link to the slide show web site of the home we staged: Sherman Oaks Home Staging by Moving Mountains Design Home Staging .

I was recently sent a link by a co-worker to the county assesors office that allows homeowners who's property values have decreased in the past year or so to apply to have their taxes adjusted/lowered, the application is a single page in length and easy to fill out, many firms here in Los Angeles have been charging upwards of 45% of the lowered taxes to do this for Homeowners but most can easily do it on their own, Just follow the link below http://assessor.lacounty.gov/extranet/list/forms.aspx?catid=70This is great information for REALTORS to share with their farm or sphere of influence, I'm sure most states have the same process it just takes a few clicks or a phoen call to get to the right resource, the link above is for LA County.

A lot of people have been talking about Foreclosures in this soft market and with the national foreclosure rate up more than 78 percent in the last year; you can see why they're talking.But what most people don't know is that the problem is REGIONAL and not affecting the OVERALL market. In fact the stats show that over 98 percent of homes in the real estate market were NOT affected. In fact, the exact amount was a mere 1.033 percent of homes that were dealing with foreclosures."Okay Anita, but how do I, the consumer, make sense out of ALL the foreclosure news I hear?"Well I will break it down right here, right now. First of all, foreclosure rates actually FELL, meaning fewer foreclosures, in 14% of the top hundred areas. Second, the stats are never presented in context. And third, only ...

9 out of 10 times a listing will be sold with the help of a selling agent showing the property to their prospective buyers.  Therefore one of the items that seller's should pay attention to and ask their agents is how will you market my home to other agents?    While ther are numberous methods to promote and market listings to agents such as Broker's opens houses, mass e-mailing, and mailers.  The single most important way listings are marketed is the Lisiting Detail Report.  The details that go into this report are important as this may be the first impression that buying agents and their clients have when searching for homes.  If the marketing remarks, pictures, and virtual tours do not entice the agent to show the property, then they will not send the listing information to their cli...

In the last year over 100 mortgage lenders have gone out of business due to the "mortgage meltdown" as most of you might now it is getting much more difficult to qualify for mortgages in Sherman Oaks.
