Bed and Breakfast Inns in Santa Cruz, Aptos, La Selva Beach, Capitola - perfect for the winter vacation!

Bed and Breakfast Inns in Santa Cruz, Aptos, La Selva Beach, Capitola–perfect for that winter vacation!

Do you remember the hotel room you stayed in 3 years ago? Most people don’t!  But people who stay at Bed and Breakfast Inns do… because staying at a Bed and Breakfast creates memories.

The history of Bed and Breakfast Inns dates back to Colonial America. There were few hotels available so people would open their homes and provide a bed for the night to travelers.  After the advent of the railroad and automobile, hotels in towns became more prominent.

During the Great Depression, families rented rooms to travelers for the night in order to generate the much needed income. However, the big boom for Bed and Breakfast Inns began in the 1980s as families began restoring historic mansions with luxurious décor. Then another big push came in the 1990s with the commonplace of the internet, allowing online advertisement and reservations.

Mr. Seller... Did you wait too long? The real estate market has shifted in Watsonville, La Selva Beach and Corralitos

The real estate market has shifted in Watsonville, La Selva Beach and Corralitos and the proof is in the numbers.
Even though interest rates are still at historical lows, the buyers have seemed to slow down on buying - as evidenced in a higher inventory of homes for sale (even compared to last year).

So, what does that mean if you are a BUYER? If you were one of those buyers who was out-bidded during the buying frenzy of the summer, this is great news for you. You have a bit of room to breathe. The inventory is higher, giving you more options. And the interest rates are still so very low.

My advice for BUYERS: If you find the house you want… BUY IT!

What does this mean if you are a SELLER? Price your home right! Homes that are priced according to the market sell no matter if it is a Buyer’s Market or a Seller’s Market. Overpriced homes will sit and sit and sit. Then, a buyer who knows the property has been on the market for a while will make a lower offer. But, if you price it right at the beginning, your home will be one of those that sale. Notice the huge increase in the Days on Market. Pricing right the first time will greatly reduce the days your house will be on the market.

My advice for SELLERS: Price your home right the first time. Be aggressive in price reductions.

When you are ready to BUY a home, SELL a home, or INVEST in real estate, give me a call. I will help you save time, money and stress.

Did you lose your home through foreclosure, short sale, or bankruptcy?

Did you lose your home through foreclosure, short sale or bankruptcy? 

There may be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.  The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently announced the Back to Work – Extenuating Circumstances program, aimed to help people who have lost their home through foreclosure, short sale or bankruptcy.

 

SOMETHING GOOD!  Sometimes things just happen that are out of our control. Knowing that many homeowners were adversely affected during the economic situation, this program allows them an opportunity to get back to home ownership.  

The old requirements were that a buyer would have to wait a minimum of 36 months before being able to finance a home purchase.  However, with this new program, the “wait” time has been dramatically reduced to 12 months to those who qualify and meet HUD’s minimum eligibility requirements.

What should you do to find out if you qualify?

 

Contact me and I will send you the requirements.

 

This is still a GREAT time to buy.  Interest rates are still low.  

Take advantage of the market slow down and the great interest rates.
