HVCC is bad for Simi Valley home values

I recently wrote a post on my blog about how the HVCC is negatively affecting Simi Valley Home Sales. This video is is a must see as the new legislation is already creating major problems for Simi Valley Home Buyers and Sellers. The "True"Value for your home is under attack and a bad appraisal will only cause more home Buyer - Seller frustration.

Simi Valley Emergency Preparedness - Lesson Learned

Simi Valley Emergency Preparedness - Lesson Learned


As a young boy I was a boy scout and trained in First Aid. When Cathy and I were the owners of the Simi Valley Gold's Gym in the Target Center, we had CPR certification and basic first aid training. Well, years later you get rusty.

This past Sunday we were preparing for a large family party at my Simi Valley home to celebrate my oldest daughter's high school graduation. About an hour before the party I heard my wife screaming to call 911. She had gone over to my neighbor house and about the same time she was walking in their back yard, my neighbor making repairs to his patio cover fell off on to the bricks hitting his head. He was knocked out cold, bleeding and not moving. The wait for the fire department, paramedics and police seemed like and eternity. I soon realized how little first aid skills I remembered. A few other neighbors heard the yelling and came to help us. I went into the house looking for a cell phone or regular phone to see if I could call my neighbor's family and there was no cell phone or pone with a programmed address book, nor was there an emergency list of numbers anywhere in the house. When the police arrived, they helped locate a phone book that was not well organized and they went though the book trying to hunt down contact information for his adult children and a possible cell phone for his wife.

My neighbor was very lucky, by the time the paramedics arrived he was talking and moving his arms and legs. He broke a couple of ribs and hurt his shoulder along with a concussion, but is already home from the hospital.

I learned that I need an emergency list of important contacts and family members on the refrigerator; also that I need to go get my first aid training and CPR certification updated. I feel fortunate that I live on a street where we are all not total strangers, but we all walked away from that day thinking about how we could improve our own Emergency Preparedness.

Simi Valley Homes For Sale Inventory Update 5-09

Simi Valley Homes For Sale Inventory Update 5-09

This certainly is a crazy market for Simi Valley Real Estate. Multiple offers, low inventory prices not moving up, low interest rates, tax credits. If you want to see where the action is look at the chart below. The Green line is very important this is how the inventory is pacing with the sales. It is clear that once we get over the $600,000 price range in Simi the market is very different.

The unsold inventory index is calculated by dividing the inventory by the aver number of homes sold each month and when we break it down by price ranges, the higher we go the worse the news is for home sellers.

The index typically works that less than 5 months supply is a Seller's market, 5-6 months is a balanced market. over 6 months is a Buyer's Market. The Higher end homes in Simi Valley all have over a 13 month supply.
