It's A Sellers Market - SHOULD YOU SELL YOUR HOME YOURSELF? By: Brad Rachielles. It's no secret. The market has changes. It's a SELLER'S MARKET! Certainly, some are thinking that they can save the commission by doing it themselves. After all, there are many stories about getting multiple offers, going under contract in just days and full priced closings. How hard can it be? Actually, now may be a very bad time not to be represented in a transaction. Consider.... A huge source of buyers are INVESTORS. They know the market well, are tough negotiators, often are represented by a Realtor, and are great at taking financial advantage of every flaw in your property. Buyers know that Owner/Sellers are not paying commissions so they expect the pricing to be lower. There goes the increased return... 07/05/2012

Market Report for Upland, CA - June, 2012. NEEDED... HOMES TO SELL! As the song said... "JUNE IS BUSTIN' OUT ALL OVER".... Ehhhh.... but not really in our Inland Empire real estate market. Even though the NEEDED home inventory increased this last month in the Inland Empire (1/10th of a percent), the news is misleading. When sales drop, and active listings drop, but slightly less, the result is an increase in months of inventory. The bottom line is that there are actually 6.6% fewer homes on the market for buyers to choose from than the month prior. REO sales dropped 5.9 (no surprise there). What DID surprise me was that Short Sale Closings increased 11% and Standard Sales dropped by 4.1%.... all in our 10 city market. ENCOURAGEMENT What IS ENCOURAGING is that in our market, this is the ... 07/03/2012

INVENTORY WAY DOWN In LOCAL Markets Too. Upland, CA Case in Point. By Brad Rachielles, Upland, CA The national real estate news this morning carried articles decrying the lack of inventory of homes for sale and how competition for these homes is fierce. Because my focus is always on the LOCAL situation, I rarely agree with the national press when it comes to providing information that MY CLIENTS can use. Today's headlines apply here too.... this time. For those ten cities that I watch closely around Upland, CA, the May, 2012 Active Listings were: DOWN 56.7% from May of 2011. 3710 listings have dropped to 1606 listings for the same month. THE EFFECT: Your "Dream Home" will be harder to find, and when you do find it, expect LOTS OF COMPETITION!!! INVENTORY WAY DOWN In LOCAL Markets Too. U... 06/18/2012
