The Sandi Bauman Team Stats for January Everybody says January is a slow month for sales. We beg to differ. See below. Many potential sellers have been waiting for the distressed market to run it’s course, so that property values would stabilize and begin to recover. If you’re one of those homeowners, the Chico real estate market finally has good news for you!  Chico prices have improved by about 5.7% in the past 12 months. Combine that with super low interest rates and reduced inventory, and we might be looking at the exact opportunity that many homeowners have been waiting for. One of the most important decisions a seller has to make, aside from timing, is which Realtor they should entrust to list, market, and negotiate their property.   Continue reading on The Pink Couch!

Driving through San Jose yesterday I saw this roof design, It has been many years since I saw this roof type but it certainly lends some character to a home, don't you agree?        I love this design style and the roof adds a craftsman quality to the design.              Spanish influence is clear with this one. Check out the wrought iron at the second story balcony.                12" classic profile is the most popular of the roof profiles for residential roofing.We used to manufacture several different types of sheet metal roofing.         This is a 50-year roof but dimensional comp shingle roofs come in a wide array of thicknesses with 25-50 year warranties.

What exactly does CA Civil Code 1695 say, and how does it apply to homeowners in Chico facing short sale or foreclosure?   Civil Code 1695 1695 (a) The Legislature finds and declares that homeowners whose residences are in foreclosure have been subjected to fraud, deception, and unfair dealing by home equity purchasers. The recent rapid escalation of home values, particularly in the urban areas, has resulted in a significant increase in home equities which are usually the greatest financial asset held by the homeowners of this state. During the time period between the commencement of foreclosure proceedings and the scheduled foreclosure sale date, homeowners in financial distress, especially the poor, elderly, and financially unsophisticated, are vulnerable to the importunities of equit...

Getting free doesn't have to mean running away.   Today, many homeowners find themselves unable to escape an unmanageable mortgage. Some of them are being given some bad advice. They are being told that walking away from their mortgage and letting the bank foreclose is their best possible option. It is called Strategic Default, and it has terrible consequences. As a real estate professional who has earned the Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, I make it my mission to know the best possible options available to distressed homeowners for both their present AND their future. Read the report on my site entitled Escape Your Unmanageable Mortgage: Getting free doesn't have to mean running away. Then, call me and schedule your free, confidential consultation Sandi Bauman ...

Today I will be looking at the January 2012 Chico real estate market statistics for single family residences, which appears to an improvement over last year. We had a total of forty six homes sold with an average selling price of $270,327, a median selling price of $240,000 and an average day on the market of 91 days. The majority of the homes were sold as a standard sale-meaning not a short sale or REO property-broken down to twenty nine standard sales and seventeen properties sold as "distressed" or 64%.   In comparison to January 2011, there were a total of 40 homes sold-13% less than our current year. The average selling price was lower during this period as well coming in at $253,490 with a marginally improved median sales price of $240,150. The quantity of standard home sales ver...

I will be posting information on our current real estate market. Today marks the launch of Chico Real Estate Trends-To start I am looking at the Chico real estate market yearend review for 2011-specifically, the single family residence market.

There was actually an increase over 2010's total units sold. In 2010, there were 760 homes sold with approximately 53% of that number sold as a "distressed property"...
