Trying to Time the Market?..... fuhgeddaboudit!

Trying to time the real estate market in Oxnard, CA. is a game you can win only only by coincidence or luck.

Unemployment remains a concern. An increase in the number of new households is predicated on an increase in jobs. Even if we have seen the worst of the recession, most analysts believe the housing recovery could be rocky for years. A quick turnaround is probably not on the horizon.

What is for sure right now are the ‘not seen for decades’ low interest rates. What is for sure right now are lower home prices.

It is really quite simple. You need to do what is best for you Right Now.

• Sometimes it is just better to cut your losses and Move On
• Sometimes if you sell Right Now and lose some of that equity, you will make it up in the lower priced house you buy Right Now.
• Sometimes when you clear all the price noise in your head and focus on a simple path, you'll end up sleeping better and worrying less.
• We won’t know if it is the bottom of the market until it is too late and prices are already rising.

Think again, if you think you will know the exact time to buy or sell in Oxnard, CA. Just like the old “Brooklynism” goes ….fuhgeddaboudit!

National Salute to Veteran Patients and Valentines for Vets

As an American, do you feel enough of a debt of gratitude to the men and women who have worn the uniform on our behalf, to take the time to send a valentine card to several of them?

Veterans always appreciate heartfelt recognition of their service, and this is one way you can show your appreciation!

Join in the National Salute to Veteran Patients. This program encourages Americans to visit and volunteer at the Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers and to send letters of thanks or valentines to those who have protected our nation. This year's national salute is Feb. 12-18.

Concerts and other programs are held across the country as part of the National Salute to Veteran Patients week festivities.
In Los Angeles, it will be held on February 13, The Grass Roots Los Angeles, CA.



Valentines for Vets

Sending a valentine or, better yet, visiting our veterans or volunteering at one of the VA medical facilities is a wonderful way to express our gratitude to those who have served our country. The veterans would be especially thrilled if you could spend a few minutes visiting and talking about their families and hometowns. Tell them how much you appreciate their service.

Teachers have always been wonderfully supportive in making this a class project, especially with those charming and much-appreciated handmade valentines. Students learn to express their creativity while learning the satisfaction of doing for others.

Every year, the dedicated members of Camp Fire USA participate in this VA program, and Salvation Army volunteers distribute valentines, gifts and refreshments at various VA facilities around the country.

Last year, more than 328,000 valentines were received at VA medical centers, and 21,330 people visited nearly 70,000 veteran patients. That was an overwhelming increase from 2009. Let’s make it better this year!

In Ventura, we have:

Have a great Valentines Day!

The Ventura Real Estate Market Absorption Trend below shows that inventory levels are keeping this market in a Sellers Market. One needs to remember that this is an average of all the Single Family Homes sold in Ventura and most of the homes sold are in the lower price range and the lower price range range homes do get multiple offers, which many times the final sold price comes in above list price.

The higher price range may still be subject to price adjustments.
