Length of time on the market...

Sellers especially are always asking me what the average length of time a home will sit on the market is... well here is the answer for all of Sacramento County. Keep in mind, these stats are averages, and your home's DOM (days on market) will vary due to many factors like how well it has been priced, the price range the home is in, the neighborhood, etc. The average for this last month (May 2007) was 55 DOM.  So basically, for each home that sold in a week, there was one that sat for 100 days... hmm...

New Blog Link!

Ok so it is no secret that I have a regular blog already established...I generally re-post my blogs here.  Well I have a new url for my regular blog - http://www.sacreblog.com/!

I post market stats, my listings, open house information, real estate resources, neighborhood spotlights & area info, occasionally some fun humorous stuff, some personal tidbits, among other things.  Thanks!

Ask Erin: Mortgage Fraud

Ok - so I have to admit...no one really asked me specifically about Mortgage Fraud. Having said that, I get approached by people all the time who have been promised shady things by loan officers, other real estate professionals, get-rich-quick property flipping seminars, and lord only know who else, and they want me to "help" them.

People - I hate to be the one to break this to ya'll, but scams like cash back at the close of escrow, taking excessive credits, falsifying your income, forging documents, having your mentally incompetent grandmother co-sign your loan, etc. are not kosher!

I would be happy to share with you the correct way to transact real estate, and re-align your expectations if you have been misinformed. But please do not ask me to do anything illegal....you are asking the wrong agent! I happen to be very fond of my real estate license!!

916HomeValues.com

Hello all. I really appreciate all of your email requesting market evaluation of your home(s). Having said that however, it seems that no matter how much detail ya'll include in your requests, some vital piece of information is missing. I have a website where you can fill out an online questionnaire to describe your home that includes all the pertinent information I need to do a complete analysis - http://www.916homevalues.com/.

Because I get so many requests for evaluations, if ya'll would use this website for your inquiries, it would help me a great deal. This way I will not have to send you follow-up emails requesting more information...You would be surprised how many requests I get that do not include info like the property address!...city/zip...number of bedrooms...blah blah blah...

Anyway...you can use that site too if you would like to register to have listings emailed to you...

Thanks!!
