Local Press Confirms What I've Said All Along
As a REALTOR® in Imperial County, CA I provide value opinions known as BPOs (broker price opinions) and CMAs (comparative market analysis) for a variety of private and professional clients and track housing prices for neighborhoods and areas throughout Imperial County for my home buyers, short sales, and REO disposition clients.
I am interested in news stories regarding our local housing market, whether positive or negative. News articles allow me the opportunity to digest the information and interpret housing trends for my clients. Local IV Press confirms what I've said all along.
Elizabeth Varin, a staff writer with the Imperial Valley Press wrote an article regarding housing prices in the El Centro CA area or Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) entitled "Housing Prices Fall in EC Area".
The article confirms what I've said all along, "it's a great time to buy a home in Imperial County, CA".
In the article Ms. Varin quoted various statistics from the popular consumer real estate website http://www.zillow.com/profiles/ivforeclosures as a source for housing prices.
Zillow maintains their "Zestimate® is accurate "...depending on the home data received...in your area". Zestimate® home data is pulled from public record data and "is public because it's the consumers right to have access to information about ... their home" value.
The "Value Range" associated with the Zestimate® provides a low and high range for value associated with the property.
In short, the median home prices that Zillow provides are based upon their Zestimate® and Value Range as described above.
Historically relying on these types of values can potentially be skewed in terms of the low range, or be off the mark based on the high end.
As a service to my home buying public, I pulled out my Imperial Valley housing stats to review any differences or discrepancies in the housing price data.
In September 2008, the median housing price for Imperial County was $165,000, which is 26.67% less than the September 2009 median housing price of $121,000. The median house price for October 2009 is $120,000, a negligible price difference. Median sales prices from April through August 2009 remained only slightly higher than September.
While housing prices have noticeably dropped during the last few years, there are certain areas and neighborhoods in the County which are experiencing slight value increases and stabilization.
Coupled with the extended Home Buyer Tax Credit of $8,000 for first time buyer will assist those making the move through mid-2010 is expected to bolster home sales. In addition to extending the first time buyer tax credit, a new $6500 tax credit for existing home owners was introduced.
What does this mean to home buyers in today's market?
All of this good news means one thing; it's a great time to buy a home in Imperial County. So whether buying you're first home or your dream home, one thing is clear, housing prices are down about ½ from their previous lofty prices a few short years ago.
If you're in the market to buy a home, talk to me, Your Imperial Valley Housing Specialist about your favorite neighborhood, this way I can help you find the right home at the best price in the market today.

Residential Real Estate - Imperial Valley Real Estate
If you have questions regarding residential real estate in the Imperial Valley, feel free to contact me anytime for expert help. I am a member of the Imperial County Association of REALTORs (previously known as the Imperial Valley Board of REALTORs) and am a participant in the Imperial Valley Multiple Listing Service (MLS).
Feel free to ask any question you want. What's the market doing now? Is NOW the right time to buy a home? What are interest rates doing? How does the Home Buyer Tax Credit help me with my home purchase? How can I get the most dollars for my home sale? I owe more than my home is worth, what do I do? I am going to walk away from my home and do nothing, is this wise? I want to short sale my home but don't want to pay taxes on the loss, can this happen? These are just some of the questions home buyers and sellers ask me everyday.
I have an extensive background in mortgage banking and lending, therefore I can assist you in selecting the right mortgage and loan officer for your home purchase needs.
Do you have mortgage questions? Do you have an ARM (Adjustable Rate Mortgage)? Do you have an Interest Only loan? Do you have an Option ARM? Is your mortgage payment about to increase and you don't know what to do? Does your mortgage have a hefty Pre-Payment Penalty? Do you have a HIGH interest rate loan?
You may be the perfect candidate for a Loan Modification. You can certainly negotiate with your bank on your own, however I wouldn't recommend it. I recommend you speak with me for guidance regarding these questions. Through my team of attorneys and paralegals, I can help you understand and make the right decision regarding your existing mortgage by performing the following:
Loan Modification Results vary! Subject to certain restrictions, ask for details.
Do you need to Sell Your Home? Are you Upside Down on your Mortgage? Do you Owe More than Your Home is Worth? Do you have Two or Three Mortgages? Are you Facing Foreclosure? Has your Mortgage Payment Increased? Do you just want OUT of your mortgage and mounting debt? Do you want to Walk Away from your home without messing up your Credit? You want to Stop paying your mortgage? Did you stop paying your mortgage? You need to stop paying your mortgage?
You may be the perfect candidate to SELL Your Home using a Short Sale. A short sale will allow you to SAVE your Credit History, Avoid Foreclosure and perhaps Bankruptcy. With a Short Sale, you may be able to buy another home is as little as 6 months!
What is a Short Sale? A short sale is a regular real estate sale with one exception. The bank or lender you will pay off with your home sale will not be paid off in full, they will only receive a percentage of what is owed, therefore they will be paid "short", which is where the name Short Sale comes from.
A short sale will help preserve your credit by not being reported as a Foreclosure, which is reported as a public record on your credit report for TEN Years. A short sale will be reported as debt paid in full or account settled, these are not public records and do not have the same effect as a Foreclosure or Bankruptcy.
With a short sale we will use marketing to help you and the bank get the most for your home no matter what the market is like. By using our innovative two-day Open House together with the 7 Day Sale, your home will be shown at least 50 times during the weekend and will receive at least 5 offers for purchase that same weekend, resulting in your home selling in less than 7 days!
Short Sales have requirements in order to get accepted by the bank. I will guide you throught the required steps to make sure you understand exactly what your options are and help you avoid foreclosure and bankruptcy.
If needed, I have a team of Cash Buyers who are ready to buy your home outright to help you out of a bad situation. Ask me for details regarding my Cash Buyer Investors who are ready, willing, and able to buy your home today, in any condition, any location, and equity is not required.
