#springcleaning has come early. Those who took advantage of all this time at home, and upgraded, pitch the old paint!

Public Service COVID Update: "Can't you just check for fever with a forehead scan?" Unfortunately, no.. A July 2020 study found that 51.2% of participants with confirmed COVID-19 developed a fever. A different study from April found that out of 57,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19, only 30.7% of people had a fever when admitted to a hospital.... These figures suggest that many people have COVID-19 without a fever. Additionally, according to a March 2020 report from the World Health Organization (WHO), around 80% of people with COVID-19 experience mild or no symptoms. Stay safe this weekend.

Own this one for about the same as rent. Teri Vogelsang. Keller Williams VIP Properties. CalDRE 00920310 661-645-8410

Last month, SCV prices continued their price climb vs. 1 year ago. Homes are lasting about 7-11 days on the market before going into escrow. For sellers, great times. Buyers also loving sub 3% interest rates.

I'm almost certain it is... Now where is it?

RE 101 Week Finale:

Your Dream Home is still out there. Renting makes less and less sense every month. Let's at least SEE what choices you could have. Let's talk, or better yet, SHARE this with a friend who needs a new home. Teri Vogelsang. Keller Williams VIP Properties. CalDRE 00920310 661-645-8410 https://myeasysearch.carrd.co/

ADU's are all the rage... Here's a good one!

It's a battlefield out there. Contingencies such as needing to sell your existing home, while making your offer safer for you, weaken your offer for the seller. They might not be willing to wait for you to sell your home. One solution to that: A Bridge Loan. More on that later.

I'm hoping this is the last post I do talking about COVID and real estate...Stay healthy this weekend!

IS there actually land still available? At $30? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwG8MzUDPBw

2 Questions: Did they get this right? Do you think this style will reign in 2021?

Just AMAZING price increases, year over year.

The GSFA program rocks! Take a look. https://vimeo.com/495648871

SMALL BIZ OWNERS: California has announced a new relief grant program for small businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The program provides micro grants ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 to eligible small businesses (including independent contractors and sole proprietors) impacted by COVID-19 and the related health and safety restrictions. The grant amount will be based on the business’s annual revenue as documented in its most recent tax return: For annual revenue of $1,...000 to $100,000, the available grant amount is $5,000. For annual revenue of greater than $100,000 up to $1,000,000, the available grant amount is $15,000. For annual revenue of greater than $1,000,000 up to $2,500,000, the available grant amount is $25,000. Please keep in mind that even if you meet all eligibility requirements, it is not guaranteed you will receive a grant. Applications for the program must be submitted through a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) that has partnered with the state of California to distribute the funds. More details here: https://www.car.org/about/mediacenter/news/covidreliefgrant The first round for applications opens on December 30, 2020, at 8 a.m. and closes on January 8, 2021, at 11:59 p.m. Approval notifications will begin on January 13, 2021. There will be a second round for application submissions and reviews, although the dates for that round have not yet been announced. Applicants who submit their application and submit all documentation in the first round should not reapply, since one complete application qualifies an applicant to be considered for both rounds.

Fewer homes on sale in December. That is expected. Double digit price gains vs. Last year? Not so expected.

3 Tiers to start. FYI....

Not even for a dollar? Would you "buy" one?

But the median price for homes in escrow and sold in December is $620,000... There are DEALS out there. Let's talk #homeownership2021

Busiest week of the year! Merry Christmas indeed!

Wishing you a healthy and relaxing Christmas!

If pawn shops and cake bakers can have a reality series, so can we... And this one is a bit more REAL than most. https://firsttimebuyer.realtor/

Some pretty nice equity in Santa Clarita homes built up in the last 5 years. Renters, you can do this too. There is always a way! There's always time to start your journey towards thousands in equity..

This is the local real estate market right now. Even during the holidays. If you're thinking of selling, you could have this many "seagulls" saying MINE, MINE, MINE!

#realestate #wealth #callme

Cha-Ching! Homeowners are building wealth as property appreciation surges to its highest level since 2014. In the third quarter, the average California homeowner had gained about $34,000 in equity year over year, according to CoreLogic’s latest Home Equity Report. There's still time to join the fun. Let's talk.

Should sunken living rooms be making any kind of a comeback?

The need for multigenerational housing has grown, with 15% of buyers looking for such a home since the pandemic began, according to NAR’s 2020 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers. The majority of these buyers say they need space to care for an aging relative. The potential cost-effectiveness of living with family is also motivating buyers to consider multigenerational homes.

So the real estate agent and their client walk up to this home and see this.... They don't teach this in real estate class.. What do you do?

One other thing that may or may not help, and is rarely mentioned, is a Bridge Loan. It allows a seller to compete with other buyers as though they didn't have a home that they have to sell first. Ask me about one.

What a crazy year! Home prices have jumped about 13% from a year ago... in a pandemic. Shown here: Santa Clarita vs. San Fernando Valley vs. all of Southern California. If you are thinking of cashing in, I know a Realtor who can help.

$720K is the median list price right now? 67 homes listed for $1M or more? Wow.. Santa Clarita... Valencia inventory continues to shrink by 13 units from last month's average of 71 homes for sale.

This beauty sold in 2 DAYS. $40k over asking. I'm happy for my sellers and looking forward to helping my next client. Is it you? Teri Vogelsang. Keller Williams VIP Properties. Property Address was 30355 Abelia Dr. Santa Clarita CA 91351 - video address in error. CalDRE 00920310 661-645-8410

Almost everything you might want to know about ZONING in Los Angeles County. What does LCA22 mean? Can you just build a home anywhere you want?

Before they even think about looking at homes on Zillow (or on my better, and LOCAL website) future buyers have to get their credit in SHAPE. Thousands of $$ in the balance.

In the last 12 years, nearly 14,000 companies have left California for TEXAS, taking with them nearly $80B in capital with them, due to their hostile stance towards business. If your company is leaving (shown in yellow), I can help with relocation. If you're staying, California perhaos, says "thanks."

From Realtor.com: "Homeowners were both happy and satisfied with the outcome of their" kitchen renovations, says Brandi Snowden, director of consumer research at NAR. "A kitchen renovation is a great way for new owners to customize their home and incorporate their personal tastes into a room that they will use every day." The report is based on three surveys. The first is a survey of nearly 2,200 consumers in June and July done by homeownership site HouseLogic. NAR did the s...Continue reading

Santa Clarita homes lasting just over 2 weeks on average before they fo into escrow, but that is even misleading. The luxury homes are taking longer, while homes in the $500-600's are lasting a WEEK. #greattime2sell

Valencia 5-year price chart shows relentless climb. Single family homes shown here with median sold price at $725,000.

Usually, 9% of households are considered likely to move in any given year. 46% ? Wow. That is a huge change!

HOA's have their place though! Pools, standardized styles (no purple garage doors) and policing power ("get your car off the lawn!") all make living close together a bit easier.

Which of those Top 5 could you live without? Backyard/Central Heating/Central Air/Walk-In Closet/Close To Work

What do you get for the person who already has everything? Their own personal fireplace? Why not. Cute idea and avail. at Etsy: https://www.etsy.com//fireplace-video-phone-stand-decorati

What do you think? Probably somewhat pricier than standard stairs. Worth it for wine storage?

What do you think? Worth the work?

Is your home vlaue at its all-time high? Probably. Now what is that number? Find out today.

Watch this stunning visualization of what southeast Canyon Country in Santa Clarita will look like next year. Vista Canyon is taking shape right now and it is really something!

Another Tip: Seek out homes $20-$30,000 BELOW your max budget, so you have room to place a higher bid if that house is THE ONE.

May you have a SAFE visit and delicious meal with those you love.

That graphic isn't showing prices rising (though it easily could be) it is showing the sheer amount of homes selling last month, rising 26% from last year! Sellers thinking the selling season is over are missing a big chance. Call for details.

Interest Rates trump rising home prices. Even with prices rising 7-11% in the last year, a SINGLE percent drop in the rate eats the higher price for lunch. #buyingpower (Figures for Principal & Interest only. and for illustration only, OAC.)

Selling your own home? In this COVID environment? Fuhgedabowdit. I'm ready to jump thru the hoops.. Right after Thanksgiving.

Escrow comes at you quick, and requires patience, skill and needle-threading sometimes..What do I mean? Watch.

Nearly 14% rise in listing prices in a year? WOW! Usually 4-7%. What could you ask for YOUR home? I can tell you. Just ask.

I could go on and on about the advantages of owning... And I will.. unless you send me a friend who's thinking of buying soon! Just kidding.. But .. Not.. Let's leave it at "Buyers will be happy with their purchase."

Don't let your home sell you out.
