As in the game of poker , sometimes you have to know when to "fold 'em" and when to "hold 'em". The seller negotiated several offers and had to "fold" some and hold on to one! Patience is a virtue, and this one took a little longer, but it ended well! Congrats to my clients and to the buyer who is a Veteran and gave himself a very special holiday gift! #DonnaSellsHomes #RealtyExecutivesHomes #RealtyExecutivesSantaClarita #saugusrealestate #scvrealestate #santaclaritarealestate DRE #01487802

Thought this was an interesting sign I came across during a morning Broker Tour of new Model homes...(when they were allowed) This tour should be fun! LOL

The area in the Santa Clarita Valley with the highest number of homes sold in November was Valencia. Can you guess which area had the 2nd highest number of homes sold? #DonnaSellsHomes #RealtyExecutivesHomes #RealtyExecutivesSantaClarita #saugusrealestate #valenciarealestate #stevensonranchrealestate #newhallrealestate #santaclaritarealestate #scvrealestate #canyoncountryrealestate

"People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care"...Theodore Roosevelt I care . In fact an escrow assistant just told me she loved how much I care about my clients and their best interests. Don't all real estate agents? I guess not.. The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little "extra"! #DonnaCares #DonnaSellsHomes DRE # 01487802 #RealtyExecutivesHomes #RealtyExecutivesSantaClarita

Survey trends show that buyers are moving out of the cities and into the suburbs...

Don't wait for interest rates to rise.. it could cost you more than you think... #DonnaSellsHomes #DonnaKnows #RealtyExecutivesHomes #RealtyExecutivesSantaClarita #santaclaritarealestate

Interest rates matter - a 1% increase in rates results in a 10% decrease in purchase price. #DonnaSellsHomes #RealtyExecutivesHomes #RealtyExecutivesSantaClarita #DonnaKnows #santaclaritarealestate

Buyers and Sellers are making moves in the Santa Clarita Valley... #DonnaSellsHomes #RealtyExecutivesHomes #RealtyExecutivesSantaClarita #valenciarealestate #stevensonranchrealestate #saugusrealestate #canyoncountryrealestate #newhallrealestate

Interest rates matter !!! If you qualify for a monthly mortgage payment (principal and interest) of approximately $2,500 per month, here's what your purchase power is depending on interest rates: at 2.75% interest/purchase price of 600,000 at 3.75% interest/purchase price of 540,000 So... A 1% increase in interest rates = 10% decrease in purchase price. #DonnaSellsHomes #DonnaKnows #RealtyExecutivesHomes #RealtyExecutivesSantaClarita #SantaClaritaRealEstate

GREAT NEWS! New homes coming to Castaic on large lots! More than half will be single story! RV access! Vineyard! Stay tuned... #DonnaSellsHomes #DonnaKnows ##RealtyExecutivesHomes #RealtyExecutivesSantaClarita

No city transfer tax in the Santa Clarita or Antelope Valleys. If you live in Oakland and sell a property worth $2 million you'll pay $30,000 to the city in taxes. OUCH #DonnaSellsHomes #DonnaKnows

BE SAFE!! - Los Angeles County Treasurer and Tax Collector Keith Knox and County Assessor Jeffrey Prang are alerting the public to a property tax scam under the guise of COVID-19 that has been reported to a District Office of the Assessor. It’s being reported that unknown people are attempting to fraudulently collect in-person property tax payments at taxpayers' homes because of COVID-19. The individuals may even have fake identification as well as the tax bill for the specific homeowner in question. These individuals allegedly are claiming that the homeowner must pay their property taxes in-person because the COVID-19 pandemic has closed County offices to the public. #DonnaKnows

Stevenson Ranch Market activity for the 2nd half of June vs. 1st half. Inventory is up and so are prices. Everyone wins! PSA - it is pronounced/spelled "Stevenson", not "Stevenson's" (I admit I have a pet peeve about that ). #DonnaSellsHomes #SCVRealEstate #SantaClaritaRealEstate #RealtyExecutivesHomes #StevensonRanchHomes #StevensonRanchRealEstate

An after effect of the pandemic- consumers are changing their minds about where they want to live and the design of their homes. #SantaClaritaTrending #DonnaSellsHomes #SantaClaritaRealEstate #SCVRealEstate #RealtyExecutivesHomes #RealtyExecutivesSantaClarita

I hope you went out to eat last weekend...
