Steve Eveleth Livermore ca Real Estate News

Steve Eveleth....Whats going on with the market? A lot!!! Anything under $417k is moving in the Livermore, Mountain House & Tracy area. Prices have come down low enough now that the affordability gap has widened enough to accommodate a much larger spread of blue collar entry level buyers to the entry level market. I refer to entry level market as anything priced under $417 k.(conforming loan amount) Many of these homes are getting multiple offers as soon as they hit the market. Good news is there is still time to buy & I think plenty of it. This is due to the fact that there is an estimated 2 million foreclosures predicted to hit the market in next two years. Now one thing to consider before you wait & assume prices may dip another 5-10%, 100% financing is back! There are programs coming out daily that allow buyer to purchase in a secure 30 yr fix loan that is safe with no money out of pocket or little down. I personally closed one of several deals last week that buyer got in with $620 total out of pocket. And a nice safe 30yr fixed loan. So as long as the inventory keeps coming on supply & demand is not going to come into play. Once all the homes that were purchased between 2001 & late summer of 2005 have went through the foreclosure process & are sold to new buyers in solid loans, eventually the inventory with be gone. Dried up inventory & new programs that are available with a new foundation of buyers in safe secure loans & maybe next few years increased wages & a new president that is not taking up to his bank & we just might see some stabilization in the housing market prices in the near future....of course this is all my opinions........people ask me all the time if I think it's a good time to buy...my response to them is "why would you want to wait around until its not? www.steveshomesearch.com
