Homes in Rancho Bernardo,Ca. 92128

Rancho Bernardo is a beautifully master planned community offering an enticing mix of idyllic weather, championship golf courses, world class restaurants, businesses, residential areas, senior communities and more. Not only does Rancho Bernardo have some of the best schools (Poway Unified School District) and it is also known for being one of California’s safest communities. It’s easy to see why Rancho Bernardo has become one of the most desirable spots in the country. Housing development started in 1961 when The Daley’s who were cattle ranchers sold their land to WR Hawn and Harry L. Sommers who in turn established AVCO Development. Rancho Berardo is within the City of San Diego and is located approximately 25 minutes to the San Diego airport and 20 minutes to the beaches of Del Mar. It encompasses @7000acres and has a population of 45,000.
Rancho Bernardo is broker into 2 zip codes, 92128 and 92127. The 92128 zip code represents east of I-15 and 92127 represents the areas west of I-15. As far as housing, the senior areas (55+ years are all on 92128) as well as other established neighborhoods. You find the newer neighborhoods on 92127 as well as some of the original neighborhoods such as Westwood. $S Ranch, Del Sur and Santaluz are all 92127 but are not considered “Rancho Bernardo.” I have seperate pages and blogs on those communities.
Here are some charts taken from RB Inn depicting the weather averages:

Looking for a Great Elementary School – Look no further than Del Sur Elementary
They say some of the best and honest reviews of a business come from those who intereact with it every day. The same line of thinking can apply to a school review. The students at Del Sur Elementary room 137 shared their thoughts about their school in a post on
Del Sur Living
A top marketing team would have a challenge writing better descriptions of the Del Sur Elementary School. The students’ pride in their school, teachers and principal came through in their descriptions.
Excerpt from the article include the following:
Olivia B. “The Del Sur school is in a safe community. We have ways to keep ourselves healthy. We have a running club where
we run around a track, and each lap is a quarter mile. We have an art teacher and a music teacher who come on Wednesdays. We have fundraisers to raise money for our school. We have parent volunteers who help our classes. We have a wonderful principal, who does principal’s reading challenges, and that is with AR quiz points. We have learning websites, such as Lexia and Compass Learning.
We are a great school.”
Bede M. “Del Sur is a school is full of community and respect. We have wonderful art teachers, music teachers and many volunteers. We also have Compass Learning, Edmodo, Lexia and many more terrific learning websites. Our school loves reading. We have principal reading challenges and are in the midst of one right now. We have a great principal who encourages us to respect the world and learn. We also have computers galore. We have a computer lab, and little laptops in kindergarten classes and out in the hallways. I think Del Sur Elementary is a great school.”
Alex H. “People should know that Del Sur has over 500 students. They can also learn that we have principal’s reading challenge and running club. We care about everything and everyone in the world!!!!!!! We have a library in the classroom. We have another BIG library, too. We also have field day in June. We also have laptops. Our school is an indoor school. Indoor schools are usually in Indiana.”
Josh D. “ I am in the best class. I like my school, I like my teacher, I like reading. We have a nice school. Del Sur has a library with a super nice librarian. She loves books. The libary has lots of chapter books, like Harry Potter and The Hobbit.
Del Sur is a vibrant and growing community. So many people are selecting this community because of the reputation of the Poway Unifed Schools that the children attend. In addition people love the parks, pools, trails, climate and close proximity to San Diego and easy commutes.

San Diego February 2012 Home Market Trends
San Diego Board of Realtors Has Statistics for February 2012
The general comments and discussion among agent in the past 2 months has been “we are busy and inventory is limited.” Naturally if you have had your home for sale for some time and you hear someone say “inventory is limited” you wonder why you don’t have multiple offers. In general the basic rules always apply; If a home is in a popular neighborhoods, presents well and is priced with the market based on closed sales you should be seeing offers. Personally what I am experiencing is relocation buyers coming for good jobs with major employers in San Diego and people who are making offers and deciding to purchase rather than lease. The statistics will play themselves over the next few months. I do not see any radical jumps in pricing but I see many more pending sales in all prices ranges which is a positive sign for recovery.
The Housing Market Reports
I found an interesting article on DSNews about how reports are made about market trends. As agents we find many times the sites such as Trulia do not have accurate information. In addition some local papers provide inaccurate statistics. We recently sat down with a title rep who reviewed all the coastal sales and told us how several coastal zip codes are misrepresented in reporting. that is why it is always best to look at a particular neighborhood and prepare closed sales and trends for that particular specific area.

The Pagnotta Team Gets Coldwell Banker Award for Sales in 2011!
Gretchen and Alan Pagnotta Lead Sales in North San Diego County
Last year was one of the most challenging years we have worked in Real Estate. The short sales were more than challenging with delays and hurdles to jump and traditional sales had to compete with the distressed sales. Emotions were high with both buyers and sellers. No one was really happy! Sellers felt they are giving their home away and buyers need to be sedated to sign a contract thinking the market will fall further. Many times the appriasals came in below the contracted sales price causing another set of problems. So far 2012 has seen a welcome change! The inventory is down, buyers are purchasing and not saying they want to rent and sellers have come to terms with their values. There has never been a better time to sell and make another move! Granted if you are selling and cashing out I would wait a few years.
Coldwell Banker President’s Circle Award
Alan and I will receive our award this next Tuesday. Year after year we consistently maintain a high sales volume. Our focus ia always San Diego North County. Each year we seem to sell homes in Rancho Bernardo, Poway, Carmel Valley, Escondido, Encinitas, Carlsbad, Fallbrook, Vista and also work with new home builders in these areas. We always enjoy first time buyers and work also with people scaling down, moving up, investors and luxury home buyers and sellers in North San Diego County. It takes tenacity, a huge amount of positive thinking and optimism, skillful negotiation and knowledge of the market. Thankfully with the help of Coldwell Banker we are given all the latest tools to help both buyers and sellers. Our global internet marketing and search engine optimization is outstanding. Currently we are working with 4 relocation buyers who found us on the internet. We just returned from the Gen Blue Coldwell Banker Training event in New Orleans. We have a whole new bag of tricks to implement. Social media is playing a huge part in how real estate is being marketed. We plan to launch a series of community videos and focus on lifestyle marketing for both buyers and sellers.

Pacific Carpet and Tile Cleaning

The LOGO these business owners use is “Best Cleaning on Earth.” I have used them for my personal residence and also have referred them to clients. They get outstanding results. My carpet looks like new after they are done. They are professional in every sense of the word. I found them on the Yelp site and after reading positive reviews gave them a call. Glad I did!

Modern Image Landscape

It is so important to have good curb appeal. This starts with having your yard looking its best. You may need to add some color with some fresh flowers at the entry to greet buyers and your lawns in their best condition. I have personally used Modern Image Landscape on several occasions to landscape my entire yard including building a pool. The quality of workmanship is fabulous. Chris O’Quinn is wonderful to work with; professional, polite and he communicates openly and frequently. He is offering 1 free month of landscape maintenance with a six month contract. To read more go to http://www.modernimagelandscape.com/ or call 619-247-3628. Jus mention The Pagnotta Team to get the white glove treatment!
Stage To Success

Many times people think of staging as decorating. Many times it is “un-decorating.” That said it takes a decorator/designer to see what needs to be done. Staging allows buyers to see space and imagine their lifestyle to be complimented by your home. Once your home is listed we will provide you with a complimentary staging service! If in the meantime you need help please call Catherine Smith at 858-442-1889 and let her work her magic!

Tax Refunds for 4S Ranch Homeowners
Tax Collector Refunds Due to Bond Surplus
As a homeowner in 4S ranch in Rancho Bernardo, 92127,I almost passed out when I was on the County of San Diego Tax Collector site and saw this news. Who knew? We have owned a large home in 4S Ranch that we use an income property for quite some time. We saw the potential in this fabulous community and decided this would be another great community to own property. Apparently there is a bond surplus so residents will receive checks of $414-$61,472! Since we have owned since 4S was first conceived in a Phase 1 product we are hoping for something more than the minimum. I cannot imagine anyone getting the $61,472!

San Diego Home Owners May Reduce Property Tax
Propositon 8 Helps Home Owners Who Purchased During Peak Market Periods
Many people are unaware of a new State Law which is called Proposition 8. Under this new law, property owners that own homes that have fallen below their assessed value can request a temporary reduction in their tax bill. When the market value as of January 1, 2012 falls below the assessed value established by the the Assessor’s Office, home owners can file for an Application for Review of Assessment prior to April 30, 2012. They must complete this form and also provide data such as comparable sales, a recent appraisal and/or current market activity. The closed sales need to be of similar properties and ideally occur between 10/1/11-3/31/12. Many neighborhoods have had a significant impact on values due to short sales and bank owned properties selling at very low prices.
The Pagnotta Team May Be Able To Help You
If you have interest in doing this we are happy to help you! Just contact us with your address and we can send you closed sales that are most like your home! You may receive solicitations for people who will charge you for this. A homeowner can easily complete the form and if you live in our service areas we will help you with closed sales. For further information please go to: www.sdarcc.com.
To determine your assessed value refer to your current tax bill focusing on the upper right hand corner.
It is important to note you still may disagree with the response you receive from the assessor. At that time you can pursue your requests by filing an application with the Clerk of Assessment Appeals between July 2 and November 30.
Further information can be obtained here.
If you need our help with a list of closed sales please contact us at GBPagnotta@gmail.com

Find School Boundaries in San Diego
Selecting Specific School Districts When Purchasing a Home
One of the most important criteria buyers give us when deciding what community or neighborhood they want is to research school districts. Once they have determined some of the top districts and then the top schools in the district they want to know what specific streets and neighborhoods are within the school boundaries. We always ask our clients to confirm the areas by calling the specific school district regional office. Most of the school websites have maps you can use also. This can become confusing and frustrating.
I was recently introduced to a new site; www.education.com. I did give this site a test drive with my address. The school selections were correct. I would still tell people to speak with a school representative as boundaries are subject to change. I know for a fact the high school in my area is suppose to be changed next year. Now I do not know if they will make the kids who are now attending their current school change or if they have any choices. All of these issues are cause for concern. When I had school age children we were committed to the Poway Unified School District. Within the district I wanted the kids to stay in their schools so they would not have to change clubs, activities or have to make new friends. Unfortunately as neighborhoods such as Del Sur, 4S Ranch and Santaluz grow they add more children to the district and there has to be an evaluation of the class sizes and whether the schools can accommodate the growth.
You could make a home se;ction based on the information given today only to find out that there is a change planned for the coming year. Another one of those “no guarantees in life” conversations. That is why we always have this discussion with potential buyers.
If you want to try this new website you may find it a convenient tool. Let me know what you think!
As always as Top Realtors in San Diego we remain committed to helping people in finding the neighborhood and home that best suits their “wish list.” Let us know if you need help and give us some feedback on this new tool.
