Let's Try This Again! Foreclosed Home Tour March 1st!

My last attempt to post this message got sandwiched between a couple of photo albums so we will try again. Century 21 Schutjer Realty and Consumers Choice Mortgage are hosting a tour on March 1st from 10am to 1pm of Bank Owned Properties. There are over 900 such homes and condos in Solano County. This event is FREE but you must pre-register so we can tailor a tour to meet your specifications. If you are already working with a lender, great. But if not, you can get pre-qualified at no cost or obligation. We will also provide you with a complete list of Bank Owned properties for sale at no cost or obligation. Even though interest rates have gone up they are still outstanding and the Banks are ready to deal on these foreclosures because they have so many of them. We will meet at Century 21 Schutjer Realty, 2255 Tennessee St., Vallejo, CA 94591. To pre-register please call 1-800-521-6674 xt 17 or email me at britt@castles.com and we will get you on the list. Hope to see you there!!

Foreclosure Tour March 1st

As of this afternoon there were 342 single family homes on the MLS in the City of Vallejo that are Bank Owned and for sale at bargain prices....and the Banks continue to negotiate! This doesn't count the condos or multiple units available. There are fixers and there are beautiful, nearly new homes available. We are going to host a tour of some of these homes on March 1st from 10am to 1pm. We will tailor your individual tour to fit your price range and needs. You can get pre-qualified and get a list of properties throughout Napa and Solano Counties. This event is FREE but you MUST pre-register. If you can be in Vallejo, CA that day please email or phone me so we can sign you up. Call 1-800-521-6674 xt 17 or email britt@castles.com to register. Interest rates are fantastic and there are several very excellent loan programs available whether you are a first time buyer, investor or move-up buyer. Hope to hear from you soon!!

Wow!!! Buyers should be LEAPING into this market!!

One of my favorite lenders just emailed that she can lock in a "vanilla" 30 year conforming loan at 5.375% today!! That is fixed for 30 years!!! That, combined with our lowest prices in 4 years makes this an incredible market!! First time buyers who found themselves priced out are now priced in and the investors are on the move!! With all the foreclosures we have had in our area we have seen a truly dramatic drop in home prices and there are just incredible opportunities out there right now. Add to that the excellent, "safe" first time home buyer programs that are available and this is a PERFECT time to buy a home!!!
