Bernardo Heights, a wonderful neighborhood in the San Diego City community of Rancho Bernardo

view_1_mlsBernardo Heights, a wonderful neighborhood in the San Diego City community of Rancho Bernardo

As we went for our early morning walk along Bernardo Heights Parkway Friday morning, Linda and I really started talking about what an exceptional place Bernardo Heights really is.  Bernardo Heights offers so much to it’s residents…the Bernardo Heights Community Center, Paseo Lucido Park, swimming pools, tennis courts, walking trails, beautiful vistas…I could go on and on.  Bernardo Heights was carefully designed and built in the 1980s and offers a number of uniquely different types of housing.  There are apartments for rent as well as areas like the gated community of Fairway Pointe which offers custom built homes 2,500 to over 4,000 square feet.  Condominium projects such as Mira La Paz, The Greens, Las Brisas, Las Floras, Masters Hill and Fairway Vistas offer homes with golf course views, one or two car garages, sparkling pools, and good neighbors.  The gated area of Los Rios/The Village is an extraordinary area with a character of its own.   Bernardo Heights is close to the newly renovated I-15 freeway and is twenty-five minutes from downtown San Diego and twenty minutes to the beach.  Within a few minutes from the heart of Bernardo Heights one can find shopping areas, medical services, great restaurants, grocery stores, golf courses, and various recreational areas.  And, of course, the weather is the best.  But, nothing beats that early morning walk along the Parkway saying “Hi” to old friends, gazing at the beautiful vistas to the North and East and experiencing the hopeful sunrise of a new day.

Come and join us for a walk!

Treasury sets Guidance to Simplify “Short Sales”

Here is an important article that I wanted to share with everyone.  If you would like more information, please don’t hesitate to contact me.  My contact and article source information below.

.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – The U.S. Treasury on Monday set long-awaited guidance on a plan for mortgage companies to speed “short sales” of homes and other loan modification alternatives to stem a rising tide of foreclosures.

The Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program provides financial incentives and simplifies the procedures for completing short sales, a growing practice in which a lender agrees to accept the sale price of a home to pay off a mortgage even if the price falls short of the amount owed, according to an announcement on the Treasury’s website.

Guidelines address barriers that have often sidelined short sales by setting limits on the time it takes a bank to approve an offer, freeing borrowers from debt and capping claims of subordinate lenders.

The incentives, first announced in May, expand on the government’s Home Affordable Modification Program, known as HAMP, that has seen limited success in lowering payments for distressed homeowners. The Treasury earlier on Monday stepped up pressure on mortgage companies to make permanent the 650,000 trial modifications they have started.
