Arroyo Grande Foreclosure Update

Paul  Pickering: Real Estate Agent in San Luis Obispo, CA

According to a recent survey from Foreclosure Radar, a leading web-based research firm that monitors foreclosures in California, the number of foreclosures in California decreased in December '09 as compared to December '08.

When comparing SLO County to other counties with in the state, however, the number of foreclosures actually went up when comparing December '08 with '09.

However, when comparing the volume of foreclosures in San Luis Obispo County with other counties within the state, SLO County barely registers. This, in large part, can be credited to the county's geographic location, but most importantly, to its ridged control over growth.

If an educated conclusion can be drawn from this industry survey, volume should be used as the most import factor as it applies to evaluating the overall health of one particular real estate market. It's also reassuring to know that cities like Arroyo Grande, and SLO County in general, seem to be weathering the foreclosure storm a lot better than many other cities within the state.

Top Five Real Estate Mistakes to Avoid in Arroyo Grande for 2010

Paul  Pickering: Real Estate Agent in San Luis Obispo, CA

1. "Over Pricing Your Property:" Always be sure to look at my local area statistics so you can stay on top of what's happening in your area of the Central Coast.

Click to View my "Local Arroyo Grande Home Sales Statistics."

2. "Not Looking for Good Deals:" I have access to virtually all bank-owned homes (REOs) on the Central Coast. Call me and I'll put an REO specific property search together for you!

Or, Click to Search the Central Coast MLS for Homes and Land.

3. "Purchasing a Cheap Foreclosure:" While foreclosures can offer homebuyers big discounts, these homes sometimes come with a great deal of deferred maintenance in the form of repairs requiring thousands to correct.

4. "Not Using the Government's Home-buying Tax Credits:" Specifically, $6,500 for "move-up" buyers and $8,000 for first-time buyers.

5. "Avoid Short Sales:" Don't get involved with these unless there's only one recorded trust deed. If price really matters, concentrate on REOs (bank-owned homes); this is where the real bargains are in today's market.

People "VACATION" where I live and sell real estate Pismo Beach, CA

Connie  Winstead: Real Estate Agent in Arroyo Grande, CA

Today I decided to get away from my desk and my short sale transactions and take my dog to the beach. This is part of my new year's resolution, which is to take more time for myself and my family. So I loaded up the car, went to Pismo Beach, north of the pier, and joined other people running, walking, surfing, some with dogs, some not. As I saw the many hotels and inns along the sand, I was reminded that many people come "HERE" for vacation. And as I walked along chatting with people, most all of them were from out of town. Located on the Central Coast, we have climate very similar to the Mediterranean. Monarch butterflies even vacation here on their travels between Canada and Mexico.

Pismo Beach is part of the Five Cities which are small towns that are all attached and south of San Luis Obispo. The cities are: Arroyo Grande, Pismo Beach, Grover Beach, Oceano, Shell Beach, The entire area is half way between Los Angeles and San Francisco. I actually vacationed here myself which sparked my move from the Los Angeles area. And I love it! I am so fortunate to live and work in such a beautiful place. It was around 75 degrees today! Even though I don't have on my "Realtor" garb & makeup, I wanted to share these photos with you.

Oh by the way, my cohort on the beach is my chiweenie "Sugar". It was her first trip ever to the beach and she ran and ran and ran. She hasn't moved since we got home. The walk, the colors, the fresh air were all so needed as you can tell by the last photo of my relaxed face as I left the beach.

It was so nice, I might just do a repeat tomorrow! Cya at the beach.
