It looks like the first time buyer tax credit may be extended by congress. This is a great home and can give the first time home buyer up to $8000.00 back in tax credits. If you want to take advantage of this tax credit you should close before the end of the year. Most escrows take at least 45 days with the new rules that govern lenders. So!!!!! if you want the credit on this years taxes it is important to move quickly to find the perfect home. Call your realtor today!

Inventory is declining, but new REO and Short sales are still hitting the market at a steady rate. It seems that short sales are getting more difficult to reach agreement with the banks. REO sales however are much easier. This is a great time for home buyers. It appears that we are seeing an increase in short sales and REO sales in the upper market. If you are in the buyer market it is very important to make a good conection with an agent that can put you on "drip" email. This will provide current listings as they are entered into the local mls. In this market getting there first is important.

Happy spooky holiday! Is it true that the old Corner is haunted?

History

Tulloch Reservoir is situated on mostly private lands with substantial residential development on the Calaveras County portion of its shoreline. Access to the Reservoir is from privately owned docks and through privately owned facilities accessible to the public on a fee basis. Access to the South Shore is via Tulloch Dam Road off of Highway 108 and to the North Shore via O'Byrne's Ferry Road also off of Highway 108.

Elevation

The reservoir level at Tulloch (expressed as an elevation in feet above sea level) fluctuates frequently based on the operating needs of the US Bureau of Reclamation, the operators of New Melones, and the needs of Tri-Dam Project. The Bureau of Reclamation publishes a schedule of anticipated, but not guaranteed, changes in the Tulloch Reservoir elevation.
