"USA Cares' sole mission is to help these service members and their families in their time of financial need. To that end, we're excited to have the support of HouseLogic and the National Association of Realtors®.

The new Corona Transit Center is now open to the public! This project developed an empty 2.1-acre site into a bus transit terminal, with an 8-bay bus plaza and a 26-stall parking lot. The location of the facility is adjacent to the Corona North Main Street Metrolink Station on the corner of N. Main Street and E. Grand Boulevard in the heart of the City of Corona.
The Transit Center will be a major hub for Metrolink and bus service for travelers to and from Orange, Los Angeles, and San Bernardino Counties. Along with the adjacent Metrolink station providing rail service, a number of direct bus transit services will utilize the new transit center including the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) local bus service, Commuter Link Express bus service, Dial-a-Ride, and the Corona Cruiser. The site will also serve as a transfer point for inter-county and intra-county bus connections.
The new terminal includes covered loading/unloading platforms and separate, designated bays for each RTA connecting bus route. A pedestrian bridge and elevator was also built to connect the new terminal with the Metrolink station (crossing over the Burlington Northern Santa Fe freight rail tracks).
This project again demonstrates Corona's progressive approach in providing outstanding services for its community members who commute. In fact, Corona is one of only a handful Cities in California who offer multiple Metrolink stations and the related commuter support services that connect users from rail to road in a quick and easy system. Corona's North Main station is part of a well planned Transit Oriented District that continues to evolve and one that is actually enjoying new development and construction at a time when many cities are simply sitting stagnant.
If you're looking to buy a home and become part of a community, come see why Corona is called the ‘Crown Jewel' of the Inland Empire. Corona is conveniently located at the intersection of the 91 and 15 Freeways and adjacent to Orange and Los Angeles Counties.
Corona, a place to Live, Work and Play... Call Kym Talbert today for your VIP tour of this great community and an explanation of how Orange County lifestyle meets Inland Empire value for your family only in Corona.

It was reported in the Global Real Estate Monitor today that "The apartment sector is the only sector within the commercial real estate industry where development makes sense, according to industry experts." This is exciting news for those looking to buy or build apartments in Corona, California. An affluent community that hasn't seen large-scale development of new units in nearly a decade, and with higher than average median home prices, this spells opportunity for developers, builders, and investors!
The Global Real Estate Monitor went on to address the unit demand by stating, "While demand alone isn't enough to compel new development, apartment developers, and operators also are encouraged by strong operating fundamentals. Across the nation, occupancy in the apartment sector is increasing, enough so that owners are able to push rents - something that owners in other sectors find difficult, if not impossible to do." Clearly with a community uniquely positioned geographically between jobs in Los Angeles area, Orange County and western Riverside County, Corona is a place that offers higher than average demand for units quality units. More importantly, the demand for new and well designed units is stronger than ever as the current - and very limited - inventory continues to age and many existing units going offline as condo conversions in the last growth cycle. I believe this article demonstrates that best with this quote from an industry expert, "From a big picture standpoint, if you look at the total numbers, the units delivered nationwide last year represented a post WWII low," Wallis says. "When you consider obsolescence and those units taken offline, that's a pretty low number. We went into the downturn without an oversupply, and the pipeline has virtually been shut off."

MULTIFAMILY BUILDERS ENCOURAGED BY RAISING OCCUPANCY:
Last week, the Natioanl Association of Homebuilder's (NAHB) reported: - "The NAHB Multifamily Market Indices (MMI) show that current and expected demand for rental apartments improved significantly in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter. The current indexes for Class A, Class B and Class C apartments rose to 59.5, 57.6 and 56.6, respectively, increases of more than 15 points when compared to the first quarter and the highest level since 2007. Builders' expectations for demand in the next six months increased to similar levels."
This is very important in terms as relative strength in Corona as measures or attempts to predict the future in a given market sector. The NAHB went on to explain: "The MMI measures multifamily builder sentiment based on production and occupancy at the current time, as well as builders' expectations for conditions over the next six months. An index number greater than 50 indicates that the number of builders who view conditions as getting stronger outnumber those who view conditions as becoming weaker."
In looking at all factors, the NAHB went on to conclude that: "It is possible that the supply of new units will not arrive in time to meet the emerging demand and some shortages will occur in some markets. Even in robust production years, it is only possible to increase the stock of rental units by a relatively small percentage through new construction." This in turn would suggest that many markets in Southern California, are have been less impacted by the downturn in the economy are ripe for new construction to begin NOW.
It's impossible to predict the future, but we are seeing new construction of single-family homes in Corona and demand for housing units remains strong. The City of Corona has reported in the press that new construction for Industrial and reuse of existing Industrial/Manufacturing is underway and creating new jobs. In fact, Corona reported over 1,300 new jobs in Q1 of 2010 alone. This again would suggest Corona is ripe for new workforce housing, multifamily housing and traditional detached single family homes.
