Temecula, CA Real Estate News

WOLF CREEK - TEMECULA, CA 92592I was on my way to the store and Saw a Sign for Wolf Creek. An amazing Community with over 30 different model homes, 10+ communities, everything from Courtyard Homes to 4000 + sq ft monsters! And the pricing can be as low as the mid 200's for attached townhomes up to the high 700's for the three story 4200 sq ft monsters! Loads to choose from for even the most discriminating buyers!What amazed me was I drove through and walked almost the entire community and I found maybe 10 foreclosures and a handful of bank owned homes in this 2 year new community, which is amazing for Temecula/Murrieta where 1 in every 26 homes is in foreclosure. And the greatest thing? Everyone took care of their homes! No Dead Lawns, No Sagging bushes or trees! Everything was manicure...

The Sky is Falling.  At least that is what everyone wants to tell you.  Are fewer homes selling?  Absolutely.  Are interest rates rising?  Yes they are.  Even with all of this bad news it is still a good time to buy property in the Temecula Valley.  I have heard buyers say that they are waiting for the prices to drop even further.  While they are waiting for that to happen interest rates have been on the rise.  They may have saved money on the purchase price, but they are paying for it with a higher interest rate on their loan.  The other thing that I have noticed is that with the foreclosures and short-sales people think they are getting a great deal.  The problem with this is that you have to be very good at chosing the right foreclosure or short-sale.  These homes may be priced lower...

Do have kids and did you want to buy a home in Temecula California? If so then please let me introduce you to Homes in Menifee California. Menifee is 16 miles north of Temecula. Both cities are located next to the freeway, and are 10-15 minutes apart. Most people know more about Temecula than Menifee. Menifee began to take shape in the 80s. At the point of this writing in 2007 I want to share about a particular place in Menifee because not all of Menifee is ideal, but there is one place where all the local professionals, police and fire officers and teachers go to raise their children and it has everything! So much so that I wish I grew up in a place like it. There is more in this place being offered to children for FREE than was offered where I lived in Los Angeles and Orange County gr...

The Mortgage Bankers Association expects the interest rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage to jump from 6.2 percent to 6.5 percent by the end of the third quarter, as investors lose hope that the Federal Reserve will slash short-term rates any time soon. In a long-term forecast released this week, MBA Chief Economist Doug Duncan predicted existing-home sales will decline by about 7 percent this year compared to 2006, and that sales of new homes will decline by about 8 percent. Sales in both categories are projected to rebound in 2008 by about 3 percent and 1 percent, respectively, in 2009Besides the fact that Temecula is an awsome place to live, the timing is right to buy a home in Temecula.   With interest rates still low and prices down your money goes a long way here.  Temecula took...

Mortgage Fraud Can Have a negative Ripple Effect by John Occhi, Hemet CA REALTOR Hemet CA Real Estate As you may know, I have this sort of "Law & Order" fascination with the topic of Mortgage Fraud, and have shared a couple of articles in the past that have gotten some great response from the on line real estate community.Today, I received an email from a friend in Temecula - 30 miles south of where I am and the market I concentrated on until last July.  Apparently, one of the largest Mortgage Fraud cases ever uncovered is starting to unravel fight now.  He sent me a published article in the Californian, the local print newspaper and website.It has my stomach in knots.                                                                                   Long story short is a family conspire...

Temecula Market Report How is the Temecula real estate market. The whole country watches the market here to see trends in housing. Even though sales have slowed down and there is more standing inventory we are not in a bad market. Everything is relative and when you compare the ridiculously hot market of 2 years ago it looks bad but it real is not that bad. We have an average of 6 months worth of inventory in all price ranges and the days on market have doubled since this time last year but house are selling and people are buying. The cooling of the market is actually good for the economy long term. If housing appreciated like that for too long inflation would skyrocket and that is very bad. I know that every month by the end the sales boards at my office are full and overflowing onto p...

Not using numbers to lie to your Temecula real estate clientsNumbers can be used to say many thing's both god and bad. When an agent wants to tell a seller what they would like to hear in order to get a listing they often use numbers to tell a tall tale. Comparative Market Analysis' can be manipulated if you add a comp that does not belong or leave one or two out that do belong but lower the value. Honesty is always the best approach. Everyone deserves to get a fair deal on a Temecula home and I would rather approach people in a honest manner and show them the true value of their property even if I do not get the listing. I personally do not want to waste time and money marketing overpriced property's. The market has shifted and prices have gone down they did not plummet with the burst ...
