Thinking about buying your first home or an investment property?  In order to simplify the process, several steps must be taken, such as: Step 1: Are You Ready? The first step to buying a home is determining whether you're actually ready. Buying a home is time consuming and can be emotionally overwhelming. There is a way to make this process easier, such as getting preapproved for a loan (see steps 2 and 4). If you're thinking about changing careers or haven't decided where you want to live long term, you might want to postpone your homebuying plans. Step 2: Get Your Finances In Order You'll need at least 5% of your potential purchase price in cash for the down payment, and you'll want to get your monthly debt payments to a minimum. Check your credit scores (it's a myth you get dinged ... 10/18/2013

Well you can be sure I will be tuned into Jay Secular, American Center for Law and Justice today.He is the only opinion that is worth listening., Do we need to amend our Constitution for these out of control elected officials.   The American people want the government funded first and last. The American people do not call a non agreement by these idiots over Obama care a serious reason to shut down the Government.  They need to get their butts back in and fund the Government. The President should be ashamed of the political statements he is making to fuel the fiery fight between the two, and pour more gasoline on the fire.  The only thing they all need to burn is their agendas and get back to running the Government.   We the People need to get control of our Government Officials and fin... 10/01/2013

South Bay home prices continue to rise, although the pace has slowed down in the last few weeks. Here is a detailed home price report for our area as well as other Southern California regions, published by DQ News: Southern California home sales were the highest for an August in seven years as strong activity above $300,000 compensated for a dip in sales below that level, as well as fewer cash and investor purchases.

As a short sale specialist I have tracked the short sale market for years and as Torrance is the largest city in the South Bay, it has been a very good indicator of how much of a factor short sales and bank owned homes have been on the local market. Short sales first became a factor in mid 2007 with a high point in 2010. In August of 2010 there were 159 active short sale homes for sale in Torrance. Those numbers started to decline in April of 2011 and have continued downward to the current level which has seen an average of 4 homes for sale for the past few months. What was a source of the "deals" sought by buyers is no longer putting downward pressure on the market and has basically ceased to be a factor.

As a short sale listing expert, I've tracked the number of foreclosures, meaning both short sales and bank owned homes (REOs) in the South Bay for the past few years. It wasn't long ago that each month there would be consistently over 100 short sale homes listed in Torrance alone. That certainly isn't the case any longer. As of April 10th 2013 only 29 short sales were on the market in the cities of Lawndale, Gardena, Manhattan Beach, Redondo, Hermosa, Palos Verdes, El Segundo, San Pedro and Torrance combined. The chart above shows the number of active short sale listings, pending escrows and sold homes for each month in the cities mentioned above. The light green bar shows the active listings, dark green shows sold homes with the red line showing the pending or "in escrow" homes.   04/10/2013
