    Ants in my...well, fricking everywhere!

    I would go with the service, if you are battling the ants for very long. I was able to manage the problem with the usual sprays, traps & salt, at my first two houses, but when I moved to my current house, nothing seemed to work. I even put moats around the pet food (including the dry food) and...

    Seeking Your Feedback: Plan "B" for Unsold Condo (AKA Quality of Life? Math)

    If you give me a general idea of your townhome's location, I can look up the number of competing listings and days on the market, for MLS-listed lease properties. I would say that in general, the market for privately-held rental properties is soft, right now. Many homeowners are in the same...

    Tustin Military Base Could Be Toxic.

    reason - I think the dirt you are talking about is going to be part of the Tustin Ranch Road overpass - over Edinger & the railroad tracks. I'm not a civil engineer, but I was told that the dirt must settle for at least 18+ months prior to construction.

    22 Daffodil

    Some of the lenders won't even start the Short Sale process without an offer, so an agent drops the price really low to bring in offers. Once they get a ballpark of what the bank will accept, then they raise the price. This is quite a frequent happening in today's market. Good contacts in...

    I hope I'm in the right place

    There are currently 14 active listings of 4BR homes under 800K in Northwood and 7 in escrow, so you have a good chance of selling your home, IF it is priced right and it could benefit from a little staging, as well. You'd be amazed at what a good stager can accomplish for just a few hundred...

    Just bought a house in Woodbury

    92 Chantilly is a Short Sale, range priced from $549,900 - $624,876. Info says offers below the range will not be given a response and offers within the range will be given a counter. I think the bank is looking for a specific price for the short sale to go through. It's also been postponed...

    Buying a short sale Condo: How to price offer?

    I have submitted offers on several Irvine REOs, in the last couple of month, and was told I was in multiple offers on all of them - 12 was the highest # of offers I heard. I know of a couple that went over the asking price, while others went below or at the asking price.

    Buying a short sale Condo: How to price offer?

    Most buyers in today's market, want a "deal" (understandably so) - whatever they perceive that to be. Their perception is that they will get the best deal buying a Short Sale or an REO, so a lot of the focus in the market, is on those properties. Many buyers are in no hurry to move, so they...

    Buying a short sale Condo: How to price offer?

    If you do consider putting in an offer on an REO, it's very important to talk to as many neighbors as possible, to find out what they might know about any previous damage/repairs to the property. The bank isn't required to give you any disclosures. I would do that for any purchase, but you...

    Buying a short sale Condo: How to price offer?

    Every short sale is different - there are no general rules. A place to start is to have your agent call the listing agent, to find out the story. Some aren't even accepting offers, right now. Yes, some are at teaser rates - up to $150K less than what the bank has said they will take. Others...

    Oak Creek Autumn Glen Plan 1B

    The last closed sale of that floorplan is 2 Sutton, which closed on 6/15/06 for $1,268,625. Autumn Glen isn't a very big tract, and the houses don't come on the market, too often, because they are the nicest homes build in Oak Creek. The most recent Autumn Glen sale I could find was 21...
