Property Management is my Passion - Jun 24 03:00 PM
I have been in the Property Management business for about 8 years now. I love what I do and love the feeling of making my owners as well as my tenants happy. There is nothing like the feeling of telling a prospective tenant that they have been qualified for the home that they desperately want to reside at. When your clients know that you have worked hard to find them a good and qualified tenant who ...

Davis...school district and real estate...there's a connection - Mar 16 11:44 AM
Since the last Pioneer PTA meeting a few weeks ago, there has been much discussion on the school budget and what can, should, and will be done.  Like any other budget we can either cut expenses, raise funds, or both.  Budget cuts will have a lasting impact on my children (in first and sixth grades), our children, and your children.
What does this have to do with real estate in Davis?  You don't have to think long about that one.  A great number ...

Investing in real estate in a college town like Davis, CA is a safe bet - Mar 11 05:41 PM
 
I've been beating this dead horse for over ten years.  Investing in real estate in Davis, CA is a safe bet relative to other areas within the Sacramento area due to the influence of UC Davis.  Prices in Davis have fallen 10-15% from the peak of the market in 2005, whereas in some communities like Woodland, West Sacramento, Natomas, Elk Grove, etc. home values have tumbled over 30%. It's a matter of supply and demand. A recent ...

Property Management in Yolo County - Jun 24 03:11 PM
I love working in the Yuba City, Marysville and Olivehurst area being that it is still growing. Beale AFB is close and a lot of Military service people would rather live "Off Base". With the turn of the market for sales and such, owners are being forced to either sell or rent out their homes. There isn't as much competition in the Property Management field in those areas and would love to bring my services to ...

Davis Schools...tops as usual... - May 22 05:46 PM
My best friend and I used to compare notes when the API scores came out each year.  I live in Davis and she lives in Rocklin.  Although the schools up that direction have always been good, they don't touch Davis.  The Davis Enterprise included a nice article, Davis test scores top in region in yesterday's paper (5/21/08).  The article reported that all Davis schools had API scores above 800 on the API which puts them in ...

Davis Schools Foundation - Apr 24 02:50 PM
A lot of school districts in California are hurting with proposed state budget cuts.  Davis has one of the highest regarded public schools in this part of California and consistently has high test scores.  One of the unique features has been the focus on small neighborhood schools where children can either walk or ride their bikes to school.  There is not a city wide school bus system.  The number of students per classroom has also consistently been smaller than state ...

Beauty and the Beast! West Sac REOs aka foreclosures aka Bank Owned homes - Apr 14 10:52 PM
So you've been standing around the water cooler and are hearing about these crazy deals in the beautiful community of Southport in West Sacramento. Many brand new homes were sold during the boom years in southerly section of West Sacramento. Like other areas, there is a steady flow of bank owned homes to that market. However, an interesting thing has happened in the past few months. The number of bank owned homes coming on the market ...

Davis February Residential Sales Data - Mar 03 11:17 PM
These figures are a bit preliminary since more than a few solds may not have been reported to the MLS yet, but here's a look as of tonight.  Most striking are the length of days on the market, but these figures will decrease as the market has begun to heat up. Homes which present well and that are priced fairly are indeed selling. 13 homes sold (closed escrow). January data in parentheses-
Average price = $470,704   ($549,300)
Average Price per sq. ...

West Sacramento Market Update - Jun 18 08:58 AM
News of foreclosed homes and sellers in financial trouble continue to dominate the media, but look at this chart, provided by Trendgraphix, for the southern portion of West Sacramento.
 

The dramatic reduction in months of inventory is being seen in many different parts of the Sacramento region.  Last year only select areas like parts of East Sacramento, Land Park and Davis had this low level of inventory. 
The reduction in inventory corresponds to dramatic price ...

Real Estate Market in Yolo County California - Sep 09 01:42 PM
This bar graph represents the Sold homes in Yolo County from October 2006 through August 2007. The key factor here is the amount of Homes that were For sale in August 2007 (916 Homes) and the Homes Sold (98 Homes Sold).
In my opinion if you don't have to sell than you should not be on the market. There are way too many homes for sale at this time. With added homes on the market it will only drive the ...

Davis Dirt - Real Estate Review, March 2008 - Apr 03 05:01 PM
Written by Carmen Isais Digging up the Dirt on the Davis Real Estate Market: Thirty Days in Review If you stop to believe the hype, one would think the Davis Real Estate market is, like its neighbors, is inundated with Short Sales and foreclosures. But, Davis is different. I've written that enough times now that I'm certain I'll have to write a blog entry by that very title. However, until then, here's the lowdown on closed ...

Falling Prices Bring in Investors - Mar 28 11:50 PM
Speaking of  the greater Sacramento Region, it seems as if $200,000 is the level at which demand steps up to meet the supply.  Reports are that homes at $200,000 and below are experiencing multiple offers as of late.
My previous post points out however that precious few of these low priced homes are available in Davis and Winters. Woodland and Sacramento seem to have more supply.
As mortgage requirements get tighter, it is investors filling the ...

Davis vs. Woodland for Investors and First Time Buyers - Mar 10 09:55 PM
I was recently comparing the available homes for sale in three of the markets I serve.....Davis, Woodland and West Sacramento, California.
I was looking at the three markets from the perspective of a single-family home investor or a first time buyer. The object was to find a single family home with 3 bedrooms, priced at less than $225,000. This would be a good home for an entry-level buyer, or could also be an attractive rental home, depending ...

August New Home prices Down, Existing Home Prices Holding - Oct 06 10:37 PM
Existing Home sales in Yolo County remain worse than sluggish, but prices seem to be holding steady. While August saw a drop of almost 35% in the number of existing homes sold, the median price fell just 1% from where it was a year ago. Good news for homeowners in the area.
The number of new homes sold in August fell 13% from last year and was actually up substantially from the low in July. This was ...

How long will it take me to sell my home in Davis, Ca? - Jul 06 03:09 PM
Right after, "What will my home sell for?", is the question"How long can I expect my home to be on the market?"
While each home sale is unique, and there are always exceptions to the rule, days on the market during the summer tend to shorten. In Davis, the average days on the market have turned out at about 50. During the normal course of the year, one can expect a home to last at least an additional 30 ...

Yolo County Real Estate - Jun 24 10:38 PM
Yolo County real estate market is improving. Despite the negative media, Buyers are realizing that it is a great time to purchase a home or a country property. There was talk today that interest rates may fall again. What a wonderful time for Buyers to make their dreams come true. Soften market prices, most sellers are willing to negotiate the price and participate in assisting Buyers with their closing cost and all of that compounded with ...
