Timing Timing…Be Wise

Real estate agents, brokers and clients should be warned about the new lending disclosure laws that are happening.

The changes that are being implemented affect the lending industry and are significant. These changes were covered in an earlier blog on this site. The effect the changes have regard the close of escrow timing. Buyers and Sellers should all be warned that the Close of Escrow will now be harder than ever to keep as a firm date. Both parties should remain flexible in the event that the close of escrow needs to change.

These mandatory changes of close date would be due to Disclosure requirements that affect the Buyer’s signing of loan documents if the Buyer’s APR changes in the final days of escrow. Sound complicated? As San Diego Agents, Buyers and Sellers you need to take away from this that firm closing dates may be difficult from this point forward. This is not a bad thing if you are flexible and aware of this new wrinkle in the changing world of Real Estate.

Is Your Real Estate Agent Current?

In your quest to find a sharp and savvy real estate agent, here is another idea that may work for you. 

Remember, this agent is going to help you find your dream home.  Ask your prospective agent about the last Real Estate Educational class the agent attended?  Also ask them to share one good idea they took away from the class.  We are all required to stay current on issues and take continuing education classes.  Try to find an agent that is actively involved in sharpening their skills.   How about asking your agent if they are working on getting their Brokers License?  We encourage all of our agents to work toward this goal, this is good for everyone involved in a transaction.

Encinitas? Carlsbad? Cardiff? Del Mar?

Ever ask yourself about the possibility of moving to these great Beach Communities? ALWAYS the best time to move UP is in a down market. Encinitas, Cardiff, Carlsbad and Del Mar real estate are prime beach communities by any standard. The very best time to move UP to these communities is after they have been hit by price decreases. This rarely happens along the coast as anyone can tell you. If you carefully analyze your situation you will find it most likely that a 23% lower sales price on your existing home is more than offset by a 23% decrease in the price of a coastal home. This is an example only but the math is easy. If you just desire to move to a larger home and don’t care about the coast now is still the prime time to explore your options. You will be happily surprised. Questions about this strategy? Drop us an email or come into our main office and watch a short 3 minute video that tells the whole story and how it works. Thanks for reading our Blog!

Del Mar Real Estate…Still Worth the Fuss!

Getting from that home you just fell in love with to “move in” day is a real pain in today’s environment.  Appraisals are all over the map,  loan application and processing is enough to bring you to tears and dealing with cranky lenders on “short sales” is maddening!  Worse than maddening.  Mostly you are dealing with some clerk in Manchuria that returns calls every three days at 2:57 am and will only speak to a live person. 

No message, no information and no hope!  And yet, this is still the best time in years to put up with all the nonsense and plow forth courageously into the housing market.  The prices of today’s properties still make all the savings worth the pain. There are absolutely great properties waiting to be snapped up and the prices almost demand that you give them a look. We can’t make all the difficult stuff go away but we can get you into a great home and you will look back 5 years from now and know you did something really smart within Del Mar's real estate market.
