     Okay, so the title sounds a little "hip-hip horray!" but seriously, this is a wonderful tool to help buyers get the homes of their dreams that are in a nightmarish condition!       The traditional way to get repairs and such done was to either ask for repair credit at close of escrow or put the cash into it your self.  The problems with traditional funding are these: 1.  Obviously more out-of-pocket expenses lowers your ability to buy if you have limited funds available (and by "your ability" I mean the ability of most buyers in the market). 2.  Sellers don't like messing with the repair credits because it just makes the escrow that much more convoluted.  This makes your offer look weaker, especially if you are competing with buyers that have a lot of money to put down (and there a...

Chula Vista Real Estate 91915 Home Prices and Sales Volume Summer 2008 Chula Vista Homes 91915 - July 16, 2008. I just ran the stats for the number of homes sold in Chula Vista 91915 and the average sales price of homes sold in Chula Vista zip code 91915 from January 1 to June 30 in the years 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008. This is the half year mark and I thought it would be interesting to see how the 91915 Zip Code is doing right now. Chula Vista in 2008 has been flooded with foreclosures and even more flooded with short sales. We have helped many clients in Chula Vista with doing a short sale to help them avoid foreclosure and have been very successful with many home owners that are in trouble of loosing their homes. These short sales can take months and many times are foreclosed o...

WHAT KIND OF INSURANCE IS BEST FOR ME?If you’ve read any of our other reports, you’ll know that even though insurance has been part of our culture for over 100 years, to most people – It’s still a just a mystery.  And because they don’t understand it, a lot of people think they’re being “ripped off” by the Insurance Industry; aka “The Club”I want to end that for you. I'm an industry "insider":  A licensed member of “The Club”I’ve been inside the insurance business for over 30 years and I know it like the back of my hand: From policy to claims and back again.I've sold insurance.   I've studied it.   I've discovered what makes "good insurance" -- and what makes "bad insurance".  I know that not all insurance is "created equal".  Life insurance is certainly no exception. Placing all your c...

San Diego Foreclosures Multiple Offers As the San Diego Foreclosure Market heats up this summer bank owned homes or REO's are selling fast and most of them have multiple offers. This is a good sign for San Diego Real Estate. I have noticed many of the foreclosures priced a little below market value which usually causes a buying frenzy and multiple offers. This gives the bank pick of the litter and the strongest offers get accepted. There are many home and condo buyers in San Diego and many of them are looking for the deals. Foreclosures can be the best deals on the market but the offers have to be strong to get accepted. The short sales can take months to get an answer back from the banks even when handled perfectly. The short sales in San Diego can be a great deal if you have the patie...

Chula Vista Homes Affordable Again The first home I bought in San Diego County was in Chula Vista in EastLake Greens. It was in the lat 90's about 10 years ago. I thought at first that the commute to Eastern Chula Vista was too far and I wasn't sure if I wanted to make the commute to work every day. I looked in many other areas of San Diego County but couldn't find a better value for my money than a home in EatLake. It could have been any one of the many EastLakes or Otay Ranch or Rolling Hills Ranch. They were all up and coming communities in Chula Vista and they were priced very affordably. One of the things I really liked about the EastLake Community were the parks and community design that was very friendly to walking, jogging and biking with many open space areas. The community poo...
