Here's an Upland Reverse Mortgage Story.     I'm so excited to be helping a wonderful lady in Upland right now.  She’s lived in her home just 22 blocks from the Euclid Avenue "Ye Bridle Path" for over 25 years. In 2003 her and her husband refinanced their home. Then just a few years later her husband passed away. Not only did she lose him, but she lost his income adding to the devastation. She found it very difficult to keep up with expenses. Suffering with a chronic disease she was unable to continue working adding additional pressure to her budget.  A family member who is a knowledgeable real estate broker advised her to look into a reverse mortgage and gave her my number.   Luckily for her the home values in Upland have appreciated quite a bit since she bought in the 80’s and her cur... 05/14/2014

You Don't KNOW THE MARKET If You Don't Know The NUMBERS - Upland, CA. By: Brad Rachielles, Realtor I "run the numbers" for my service area every month. April, 2014 saw very little change from the prior month. Home inventories were down some. Even though the National Association of Realtors is indication National Inventory levels of 5.2 months, Upland fell back to 1.7 months. That is significantly better than April, 2013 when we were at o.9 months. Active listings fell but "Closed Sales" Doubled. The good news is that there are ready, willing and able buyers out there and they are buying up properties faster than sellers are convinced that they can sell their home. Sometimes, things are not what they seem. While it looked like prices were declining, a closer look revealed that the proper... 05/01/2014

UPLAND, CA - Single Family Residential Market Report for January, 2014 By Brad Rachielles. January, 2014 was greatly anticipated in the real estate circles in the Upland, CA area to see if the four month decline would bounce back to the increase column. That may tend to indicate that the declines were more seasonal than economically driven. As predicted by some, both the Upland Average Selling Price AND the Average Square Foot Price did reverse their slide and are again up from the prior month. The average selling price is up 9.6% from this month last year. Square foot pricing is up 17.6% from January, 2013. Of course, one month does not set a trend, but it is encouraging to sellers. Not specifically covered here are mortgage interest rates seen in the last couple of weeks. Buyers are e... 02/07/2014

The days of "liar loans" and loan approvals based on not much more than a heartbeat are long gone, but the fallout from the housing crisis is far from over. While homebuyers and homeowners may be focused most on their own ability to finance a home, the federal government and real estate policy experts continue to discuss reforming the nation's home financing system. Compare Mortgage Rates in Your Area Though not every proposed reform will have a direct impact on consumers, initiatives in five key areas are likely to change mortgage financing in the future.   These areas are the unfinished business of mortgage reform.    Winding down Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.    Creation of a common securitization platform.    Reform of the compensation system for mortgage servicers.    Revision of ke... 08/12/2013

Short Sale Agents in Upland Short Sale Agents in Upland CA arrange with mortgage lenders to agree to accept a mortgage payoff that falls short of the balance that is owed by a borrower. In other words, a bank agrees to accept less than what is owed on a borrower's mortgage. Foreclosure is avoided through the Upland CA short sale process, which is the primary goal so that the borrower's credit is not severely damaged as it would be through a foreclosure. If a foreclosure is imminent, a Upland CA short sale can help soften the blow. A foreclosure can seriously affect an individual's credit and financial future. As a result, and because of the stress that the foreclosure process can cause, most Upland homeowners are willing to consider just about any alternative. When facing foreclosure, t... 07/02/2013

Hello Everyone California Mortgage and Real Estate Mortgage rates continue to climb at a rapid pace. They seem to go down very, very slowly but when they increase it seems to be all of a sudden. While we are out of the low 3's and moving into the high 3's and low 4's it's still a remarkably historic time for rates and record affordability. We will one day look back at this time with many "shoulda, woulda, coulda's". Watch the video below for the full story. A summery is as follows. We are in a strong lock position. Many economists feel that because the economy is doing better the Fed's policy of propping up the rates, so to speak, will begin to ease coming into the end of 2013 and 2014. I think rates are going to settle in, in the 4's and perhaps the low 5's, however rates a... 06/21/2013

What’s My Upland CA Home Worth? – Find the Value of Your Upland CA House In this current real estate market, understanding the current value of your Upland home can be a confusing task. Even so-called experts, banks and real estate agents have a tough time determining the market value of Upland California houses. There are websites like Zillow and Yahoo Real Estate that enable you to input your address and get a formula-derived price of your Upland home, but these tools are unreliable because the data feeds that enable this can sometimes be inaccurate. These tools also do not take into account the varying differences in homes, like condition, upgrades and other amenities. So what is the best way to determine the price of your Upland CA home? By ordering our FREE Comparative Market Analy... 05/08/2013
