Now you can refinance your Santa Clarita home even if you have no equity in it. So long as the current loans in place don't exceed the current value of your home by more than 105%, you may be eligible to refinance the loan(s). One big catch to this however, is that the loan(s) on your home in Santa Clarita must be owned by either Fannie Mae, or Freddie Mac.

This is great news still for many. Previously, unless you had about 20% equity in your home, or more, you could not refinance.

People love Stevenson Ranch! That's obvious from the Stevenson Ranch home statistics I'll lay out for you below. With a total of 137 listings for sale in Stevenson Ranch as of today, March 26, 2009, 42.34% of them are in escrow! While many of the listings in escrow are short sales (some wouldn't call those fully bonofied escrows), those are still homes with interest in them, and real offers, it's just that the listings agents could be waiting, in many cases, for a final go-ahead to finalize an escrow from the lien holders of the owner's mortgage(s).

Looking at some local Santa Clarita Real Estate Statistics, it's interesting to report to you the following:

Since Jan 09, through today, March 26, 2009, there has been a decrease in home inventory for sale of 13.6%. This, despite our Foreclosure crisis! Someone is buying up all these homes, and as we're on the ground part of the action, we can tell you that we're experience incredible home sales numbers. Usually it's first time home buyers from our perspective, taking advantage of the new $8,000 tax credit, grant money available from SRAR, record low interest rates, and home prices not seen since early 2000's.

New listings hitting the market are also down from Jan 09, through today, March 26, 2009 by about 15%.

Take a look at the stats below:

January 2009 - 1,367 listings for sale in Santa Clarita, 429 new listings

February 2009 - 1,284 listings for sale in Santa Clarita, 329 new listings

March 2009 (through 26th) - 1,181 listings for sale in Santa Clarita, 364 new listings

The water cooler talk is, that more foreclosures are indeed coming. I can find evidence of this using our Foreclosure Radar tool at our Santa Clarita Real Estate website. The governments intervention to stem foreclosures, implement moratoriums on them, has prevented new listings from hitting the Santa Clarita real estate market.

With that said though, even when the majority of the next wave of foreclosures hits the Santa Clarita Valley, I firmly believe that the majority of those distressed homes will be met with strong buyer interest and offers, so long as interest rates stay low, and incentives such as the $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit are available. That interest will mitigate any increase in listing inventory, keeping it stable. A stable housing inventory, should, prevent major reductions in home values. Though, we do expect reductions in home values to continue to some degree in "most" parts of Santa Clarita, some areas will experience very moderate reductions, and as we're seeing now, some communities have actually increased in value recently! All real estate is local - sometimes "Hyper Local."
