Some of you may be thinking about selling your house but are not sure this is the best time to do it. In 2006 the market began shifting across the country and by the time 2007 hit, it was clear we were entering a new market cycle, making it harder to be a home seller today. How do we know if Redding is experiencing a "down" market? Historically speaking, when housing appreciation begins to decline and the level of housing inventory increases, it's safe to say we are experiencing a down market. This is not saying that houses have stopped appreciating, were just not seeing the double-digits we're use to seeing. In Shasta County our residential inventory is under 1,800. These numbers may not be all that different from a year or two ago the difference is we're lacking the demand (this due i... 12/27/2007

Redding Real Estate Market News. We are seeing more Short Sales and less Foreclosure (REO) properties! This is a good indication. It provides a trend toward the homeowner seeking alternatives to foreclosure. While it helps the seller, it also helps the lender.

I Remember When Times Were Sweet and I believed in Santa!We lived in a sweet little house in Dallas, Texas. It was a two bedroom 1 bath home with fruit trees in the back. It was an older home and for some reason I really liked this house. My dad had been transfered from Big Spring, Texas to Dallas with a promotion. We rented this little house while we got to know the area. I use to ride my bike to the corner market to get milk or eggs for my Mom and I hung out at the local high school for the park activities. They had a counselor there that worked with the local kids through city sponsored programs.Our first Christmas in Dallas and this little house is perhaps my best memory of Christmas.
