SHORT SALES, FAIR OR FOWL?
Posted by Ellen Jaffe | Leave A Comment »
One fine San Diego Day, Chicken Little was strolling along enjoying the weather. The sky was a crisp, clear blue and the sun was a huge bright globe. He didn’t much care for rain, which was why he liked San Diego. He wasn’t into getting his feathers wet. So this was a perfect place for him.
Suddenly, a large shadow was over him and as he looked up, his chicken smile quickly faded. He ran for his life as he was almost hit by a falling Condo and then another and another and then some houses crashed to the ground. Now chicken Little really wasn’t chicken, but he thought, “what a way to start the day”. I’m going to call my Realtor, Ellen!
She told him that what he just experienced was a lot of Short Sales and REOs 
falling to the ground. He was told to continue looking up and he would see Bankers with their arms folded laughing and watching the crashing homes. Ellen said, “it’s really a wonder that I have any hair left at all; just a few little blond wisps”. Chicken Little said, “wow, I’m really glad I don’t own the coop. Rocky rooster is my landlord. He crows all day and all night. He hasn’t gotten the message. Let him deal with all of it.”
“In Oh Five, the coop went condo. We all got so eggcited, all we could do was cluck. Day and night, night and day, cluck, cluck, cluck. By Oh Six, some of us got chicken, but others decided to buy in. Boy did they lay an egg. There are feathers flying because they have to do a Short Sale. Now Ellen, they all want your help! ”
So Ellen plunged right in to see what she could do. After months of calling and submitting and faxing and begging and pleading she was now at square one. So much for progress. Chicken Little said, “Wow, you Realtors are really something. All the hens are saying we thought sitting on our eggs until they hatch was really difficult and time consuming, but the result was worth the effort.” Sometimes Short Sales don’t close, so the results may not be as positive. ” I give you an awful lot of credit, he said”.
As in the example of Michael Jordan (Chicken Little said he couldn’t reach those heights), propelled by extraordinary talent to the stratosphere of basketball achievement; persistence and perseverance will result in exceptional service and accomplishment.
……..More from inside the coop to come!!

Senate Extends and Expands Homebuyer Tax Credit
Posted by Rachel LaMar, J.D. | Leave A Comment »
More great news for home buyers…late Wednesday that Senate unanimously extended the $8000 first time buyer tax credit, also expanding it to include a $6500 tax credit to all buyers who are not first time home buyers. The new deadline will be April 30, 2010.
The current tax credit program was scheduled to expire on November 30, 2009. Under both bills buyers need to be in the earning bracket of $125,000 or less as an individual and $225,000 or less as a couple to qualify for either credit. The new home cannot cost more than $800,000.
The expansion credit to all non-first-time home buyers also requires the move-up buyers to have lived in their current home for at least 5 years before purchasing a new home.
The House still must approve the credit expansion but is expected to do so. The President is also expected to sign the bill.

The Top Reasons People Move to North San Diego County
Posted by Linda Gail | Currently 2 Comments »
Reason No. 1 is our temperate climate with warm summers and mild winters. The sun shines 9 of every 10 days, and the Pacific Ocean is just miles away. We San Diegans enjoy the “good” life year round!
We love our outdoor activities – it is possible to go water skiing one day and snow skiing next; golf or play tennis; go sailing, scuba diving, or surfing; deep sea fishing or fresh water fishing; horse back riding or hot air ballooning -the possibilities are endless.
Entertainment options are varied and diverse- A quick drive takes you to the Wild Animal Park or a few minutes the other way and you can tour several well known wineries. How about dinner out at one of the many restaurants on Restaurant Row, and then on to our Performing Arts Center for an evening of entertainment. It’s easy to have fun when every day is beautiful!
For those who love wet and noisy fun, take your motor home or a tent and camp at the bay to enjoy two days of Thunderboat races or the Red Bull Air Races. Next…check out the world famous Sea World, the San Diego Zoo and Balboa Park in the winter when the weather is STILL pleasant, and there are fewer people.
And remember- Spring comes in February!! The sports enthusiast will enjoy the San Diego Padres, and of course the San Diego Chargers.
Again, the possibilities are endless.
You can’t miss the avocado and citrus groves because agriculture is big business in North San Diego. The quaint town of Fallbrook boasts the distinctive title of the “Avocado Capital of the World” and is the home of the annual Fallbrook Avocado Festival. The local homeowners love their own small groves and gardens too – year round.
We recently overheard one of our home buyers (from the “cold country” in Canada) say “I can’t believe this” as he pointed out a living cherry tomato plant (an impossibility where he came from). Our weather is really something to be proud of!
Watch for Reason No. 2
We’ll be writing again soon with more reasons why people move to North County San Diego…
