Real Estate Trends - Palmdale, Lancaster, Quartz Hill and the Greater Antelope Valley August 4, 2011. It looks like the Antelope Valley is going through the same pains the entire US is albeit a lesser extents.  We are holding prices with a small drop in new listing, pending and sold for the month of July 2011.  The job market is slow, with worry for those who have jobs; the future is unclear for now.  That being said, home prices in the Palmdale area are the lowest in Los Angeles County with a price index around 72%.  Lancaster is running about the same.  We are anticipating August will be the same trending lower as we weather the current economic climate.  Janet O'Brian is a Certified Short Sales Specialist in California is ready to help you with your Situation… Short Sale  Monthend N...

Real Estate Trends - Palmdale, Lancaster, Quartz Hill and the Greater Antelope Valley July 8, 2011. Palmdale files suet against high-speed rail authority regarding Grapevine study.  Palmdale city officials made good on its threat to sue the High-Speed Rail Authority of California regarding an abstract study which route would be better Grapevine or through the Antelope Valley. The city's lawsuit contests that the rail authority cannot redirect federal grant money ($700,000) and state bond money to re-examine an earlier announced decision to build through Antelope Valley.  In an earlier study the Rail authority board members had abandoned the Grapevine route in 2005 after determining that it had too many engineering issues to overcome.  However lately engineers working for the rail autho...

Real Estate Trends - Palmdale, Lancaster, Quartz Hill and the Greater Antelope Valley July 5, 2011. As we have all heard over the past years the Real Estate business is undergoing great changes.  With the internet taking center stage in your new business model you must have an internet presence. Banks are making the real estate business harder with un-standardize short sale processes, Janet and I have been doing short sales for over 4 years now and have seen all sorts of strange policies ranging from odd to ridiculous.  We are even seeing home owners taking banks to court for changing the rules in the short sale process and loan modifications.  I believe this could start a trend and push the banking industry into standardizing the short sale process.  Janet O'Brian is a Certified Short...

Real Estate Trends - Palmdale, Lancaster, Quartz Hill and the Greater Antelope Valley July 1, 2011. Showing home in a heat wave with temps in triple digits can make for a long hot day.  As we enter into the first 3 day weekend of the summer buyers are coming up to the high desert for the sun and fun we have to offer.  Make sure you bring water and you A/C is working.    For sellers turn on you A/C for potential buyers, nothing makes a hot buyer happier than entering your beautiful home with the air on.  If you have a pool keep it clean and sparkling, it could make the difference in making an offer or pass by.  We have found buyers do indeed look at home on three day week ends, at lest Saturday and Sunday, Monday not so much.  So have a great 4th of July and keep it safe!      Janet O'Br...

Real Estate Trends - Palmdale, Lancaster, Quartz Hill and the Greater Antelope Valley June 22, 2011. The summer is here and it’s a cooker, however with school out and great deals in real estate buyer are making an appearance albeit smaller then is recent years.  The Antelope Valley is well above the 2007 summer from hell but we are seeing some apprehension.

Well if you have been hearing the real estate news this morning the bears are out in force. Existing re-sales were down in May and prices are down as well.  This, as with all things I have found in the real estate business, with sales down and price too, is a great opportunity for buyers.  More selection and better pricing creates a window for the savvy buyer to thrive.  However here in the high desert of Los Angeles County we have already hit bottom and see this as a short lived adjustment in the real estate mark locally.  If you are a first time buyer and are looking in the Antelope Valley, Palmdale or Lancaster area we can help you find the best deal in town and even better have the winning bid.

Real Estate Trends - Palmdale, Lancaster, Quartz Hill and the Greater Antelope Valley June 7, 2011. For the first time in since September 2010 have available listing have drop below 1,900 units.  We believe this drop in inventory is being driven by the week economy as more sellers are holding on to what they have and only listing their home if they must.  Short Sale have jump as a percentage of the total market to over 41% and bank owned home have dropped below 20%.  Traditional sale have been holding at around 39% of the market.  Looking at the real estate trends over the past 12 months we believe we will see the short sale grabbing more of the local market for the next 18 to 24 months.      Janet O'Brian is a Certified Short Sales Specialist in California is ready to help you with yo...
