Homebuyers in a hurry!

Ventura County and San Fernando Valley Realtor, Steve Gould with Keller Williams in Westlake Village, said to me this morning that first time hombuyers are stressing out over the expiration of the Fed’s Tax Credit.

Steve Gould, who lives in Simi Valley Ca, said to me, “Tristan, its getting pretty hectic out there with only 2 weeks left on this tax credit to expire. With the low inventory and the high demand we are seeing a multiple offer situation on many homes on for sale, mostly with the lower priced properties, under $400,000.”

Nationwide, nearly 1.8 million American taxpayers have filed returns to collect $12.6 billion in tax credits for homes purchased in 2008 and 2009, according to the Internal Revenue Service. In California, 203,000 filers have claimed $1.47 billion of those credits.

“People in the San Fernando Valley are anxious to get into something fast. Some of the buyers just getting into the market don’t seem to understand the high demand and are starting off offering low on properties they like. Their attitudes and offers change quickly once they figure out that most offers coming in are coming in over asking price,” said Cathy Waters, a Realtor in Chatsworth for Keller Williams Realty.

While the federal tax credit is getting most of the attention now, California is preparing to relaunch its own homebuying program on May 1. Californians who are first-time homebuyers or purchasing a new home could qualify for a tax credit up to $10,000. (Click here to get the info on CA tax credit)

Both Steve Gould and Cathy Waters work for Keller Williams in Westlake Village and with me (Tristan Ahumada). We are out in the field everyday working with buyers and sellers in Ventura County: Conejo Valley, Simi Valley and the San Fernando Valley. It’s clear to see that these tax credits are helping out the real estate market in Ventura County and in the Los Angeles County. If you bought a home or are going to buy a home and you also want to take (or took) advantage of the Fed’s tax credit please remember that you cannot e-file. for more info on the Fed’s tax credit please visit them by clicking FED’s Tax Credit.

Interest Rates May Go Up, Very Soon!

The Fed announced last week that they would stop buying MBS (Mortgage Backed Securities). What does this mean for people buying homes? Well even though my company is located in Ventura County, (Westlake Village) this will affect all of the Real Estate Market. The Federal Reserve wants to keep the interest rates low for a good while, but now that it announced it will stop buying mortgage-backed securities at the end of March, it could affect the interest rates!

The Fed says that it will stop purchaseing MBS because the economy has improved and continues to improve, I would beg to differ. Home sales are rebounding, but delinquencies and foreclosures are going up. Those statistics, in my opinion, continue to cast dark clouds on our housing landscape.

The impact this could have on rates; the rates will probably increase by .5%-.75%. If you have any further questions please visit my website me or add a comment below.

Fannie Mae to Rent Out Homes instead of Foreclosing

If you live in Southern Ca, you probably know someone losing a home or someone who has lost a home to foreclosure. Well, now it’s going to get a little better for some people who are losing their homes only if Fannie Mae owns the mortgage. Here is how it works: To qualify, homeowners have to live in the home as their primary residence and prove that they can afford the market rent, which would be determined by the management company. The rent can’t be more than 31 percent of their pretax income. Fannie Mae, through its new “Deed for Lease” program, will allow borrowers to transfer ownership to Fannie Mae and sign a one-year lease, with month-to-month extensions after that. The rental program is designed to help home owners in the nation, for those that couldn’t do a loan modification and want to keep their home. This should help out a good number of people in Ventura County and in Los Angeles County. This is a good program, if large banks were to do this with all their foreclosures it could stablize the housing market a lot quicker. I highly doubt that our nations largest banks will do so, but who knows.

How is The Real Estate Market in Ventura County?

People, friends and clients often ask me, “how’s the real estate market?” my answer always changes! The real estate market for Ventura County, Conejo Valley and Simi valley is at a bottom, not necessarily “The Bottom”.
As a realtor in the Conejo valley and Ventura county I hope that banks start releasing more of the foreclosed property that the banks are holding back because many of our buyers for this area are having a tough time getting into a property. We are seeing more and more multiple offers on bank owned properties, but the offers that banks like the most are all cash offers and conventional offers (non-FHA and/or non-VA loans).
When banks receive offers they look at all cash offers first and then any conventional offers. If any of those offers are around asking price then they will probably go with one of these offers even if an FHA or VA offer is much higher. The banks do this because they want to make sure that the home they are selling is going to sell, so they go with an all cash offer or a conventional loan, which has many less restrictions than an FHA or VA loan.
Interst rates are still at an all time low ( check interest rates ) and are creating a large demand. The current real estate market in Ventura County is at different states depending what you are buying and what price range you are buying in. If you are purchasing a home under $400,000 in the ventura county chances are high that you will be having competition, you will see at least 5 offers. In some cases we have seen as many as 33 offers!!! Under this price range It is important that you put in an offer within a few days of it being released. This definitely applies to homes in Thousand Oaks, CA.
If you are trying to buy in a higher price range than $400,000 you will find less competition, the higher you go the less competition. This also applies if you are trying to sell your home in the Conejo Valley or Ventura County: the lower you price your home the more offers you will receive and the higher you price your home the less offers you will have. The secret is to price your home lower than the last one that sold in your neighborhood and this will create a sense of urgency and value in the buyers eyes.
