The Perfect Storm
Hi all I was at a seminar the other day and learned some interesting facts that you wont hear on the news. I already know the market is getting better, but did you know we are expecting a housing shortage in the next 18 months? This is also the first time in 30 years the house prices are down and the interest rates are as well, but you say how the news says the sky is falling. So I say listen to your local Realtor as to what is happening you will be suprised the answer you get. Stay tuned for more interesting facts or contact me with any questions. Hope you had a great St. Patrick's day I did I went to Swami's in Encinitas to soak in all the beautiful views California has to offer

I am still here are you?
Hi all it has been awhile since my last post. As they say life happens, but I am here to tell you I am still doing Real Estate and I hear to tell you if you been on the fence thinking the market is going to plummet more I think you should re think that. I am seeing the market turn around and if you were thinking of buying now is the time to jump in with both feet. For the last 8 months we have seen the market go up every month. People do not want to engage in short sales because they take so long (2 months if your lucky and up to a year) Yes I said a year. So when a bank owned property comes on the market or a regular sale up to 450,000 it is gone the 1st day and there are multiple offers and bidding wars, and I am not talking about 4 or 5 offers I am talking more like 22 offers. I bid on house for my clients and they were 1 of 43 offers!! I know this seems hard to believe but it is what is going on. I welcome you to call me or email me with any questions I can help with. My email is Bridget@SellingNorthCounty.com or my cell is 760 533 4551. Take Care, Bridget

No News Is.....
“For most folks, no news is good news; for the press, good news is not news.”
– Gloria Borger
Dear Friend,
You hear the bad news everywhere you turn. It’s on the television, the Internet, the radio
and in print headlines. What you don’t hear is the good news about the real estate market.
Bad news sells newspapers and gets high television ratings; therefore, the media has no reason
to report the upside of today’s real estate market to the average American. This is where I
come in. For example, did you know that approximately 30 percent of homeowners own
their home free and clear?
The current market also affords some great opportunities for those looking to purchase a
home. First-time homeowners, move-up buyers and investors can all benefit from low home prices, large selection and historically low interest rates.
In addition, the government recently approved a First Time Buyer Tax Credit, up to
$8000, that does not require repayment if the borrower resides in and maintains ownership
of the property for at least three years. Regulations do apply and can be reviewed at www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com, or just give me a call and I will be happy to discuss
it with you.
Call me to hear more about the good news in today’s housing market. I can’t wait to share
it with you.

55+ Tax Transfer Ruling
Provided by California Assocation Of Realtors
Ordinarily under Proposition 13, the value of a home for property tax purposes is re-assessed to market level whenever a change in ownership takes place. This usually results in higher property taxes for the homebuyer.
Proposition 60 is a law passed by the state's voters in 1986. It allows seniors to keep their property tax base assessment when they move within the same county. Proposition 60 does not require passage by a local municipality.
In 1988, the state's voters approved Proposition 90, which is designed to induce greater turnover of homes owned by senior citizens. The measure provides anyone over the age of 55 with relief from Proposition 13 by allowing them to move from one county to another without undergoing a change in their basic property taxes.
Proposition 90 is a "local-option" law; each county has the option of participating. If a county has adopted a Proposition 90 ordinance, it accepts transfers of property tax base assessments from other California counties. If the county that the homeowner is moving from does not have a Proposition 90 ordinance, this does not affect the eligibility of the homeowner. Homeowners seeking to transfer their property tax base assessment must verify that the county to which they are moving has a Proposition 90 ordinance.
