Coldwell Banker San Diego Helps Home Sellers
Coldwell Banker is the Leader in Internet Exposure
Coldwell Banker once again has shown they are the leading force in providing Internet Exposure to home sellers. Buyers today rely on Internet searches when looking for a home. There is much discussion as to the value of traditional open houses. In the past agents held open houses to allow clients to come view homes they may have interest in. Today people spend time viewing pictures and virtual tours on line. If they have serious interest they will contact either the listing agent or the agent who is representing them in a purchase. The key is to have website exposure for listings so a home is viewed by as many people as possible. My association (The Pagnotta Team) with Coldwell Banker makes it very easy for me when I list a home. It is immediately entered into many web sites. Once someone shows interest I am notified immediately so I can answer questions and/ or plan a showing. If you want the world to know about your home for sale..we will make sure that happens!

Santaluz Home Sales Year to Date 2012
Santaluz Home Sales Picking Up in 2012
We are finally seeing some buyer confidence which has been reflected in the market in the past few months. Just last week 2 short sales came on the weekend and went into contingent sale status. They each had multiple offers with some being “all cash.” The prices are bid up when these homes come on at low prices so we will not know the true sales price until they are approved by the lenders and the home closes escrow. This is actually detrimental to traditional sales (non distressed). Buyer see the list prices and assume they are sold in this range. Therefor they reflect this on their offers with other homes. Consumers need to be reminded that all short sales need to be approved by the lenders which includes a lender appraisal. We have seen lenders deny prices on offers made if they believe the pricing is too far below market. Although someone owning a short sale does not care about their price and therefore neighborhood values, we as Santaluz homeowners do care! Therefore if you or someone you know is in distress we welcome the opportunity to talk with them. We price these homes appropriately so the short sale will be approved in a timely fashion and neighborhood values are maintained!

San Diego Home Market Trend Says Buying Is Better
Rent vs Purchase
Is it getting cheaper to purchase than to rent? I just read a great article in Business Insider that states this is getting to be the case in Southern California. I know in the areas I work, North San Diego County it is getting very difficult at all price levels to find rental homes and the rents are continually rising. With interest rates at all time lows and with prices down it is pretty easy to do the math and find home ownership is a better choice in most areas than renting. Naturally, home ownership also offers so many other advantages since you are in control of the length of time you can stay in a neighborhood and are not at the mercy of a landlord. The fact that it is less expensive is bringing more people into the market and we are seeing a much more balanced market. Investors have flocked to purchase condos and small homes as they now can look forward to some appreciation, write offs and a positive cash flow in many cases.
In general our resale inventory is low and we are seeing “the good ones selling”. I have been showing property all week and am amazed also at how well the sellers are preparing their homes. The lights are on, music playing, candles lighted so the homes smell wonderful and everything staged to perfection. This type of preparation entices people to want to purchase so they can enjoy the emotions of home ownership. Combining the simple math and then adding the emotions says one thing…buying is the way to go!
