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

Big changes seen in May.   By Brad Rachielles. May 2013 has brought very significant changes in the real estate market in and around Upland, CA.

UPLAND, CA - Single Family Residential Market Report for APRIL, 2013.   By Brad Rachielles. I would guess that very few REALTORs have experienced market conditions as they exist in Upland, CA today. Inventories of homes for sale are at historic lows with only enough properties to last for 24 days at the present rate of sales. Many listings are getting double digit quantities of offers. Clearly, NOW is a fantastic selling window.  Let's take a look at what is happening in Upland, CA. in April, 2013.   Upland leaves the heavy industry, huge entertainment venues and highrise buildings to neighboring cities.

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

 Upland CA Short Sale Specialists FIND A SHORT SALE LISTING AGENT IN UPLAND CA / UPLAND SHORT SALE REAL ESTATE AGENT / SHORT SALE REALTOR UPLAND CA It is easy for Upland CA home sellers to find many listing real estate agents to list their Upland CA home, but if you need to find a Upland short sale listing agent, the task will be more difficult. A short sale real estate agent does much more than take pictures and put your Upland home in the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) and put a sign in the yard. The Upland CA short sale agent also handles negotiations with your bank or banks. If your Upland real estate agent has no experience dealing with short sales, loss mitigation and bank negotiators, you, the seller, may suffer. Most of our real estate home listings and sales have been short sal... 02/28/2013

But how can you know without talking to a Upland Short Sale Expert (That’s us!)? Have you considered a loan modification instead of a short sale? That may be the ... 02/27/2013

It's A SELLER's Market In the Upland, CA Area...... OR IS IT? By Brad Rachielles, REALTOR, CDPE. Overall, the Upland, CA area real estate market IS what you would call a Seller's market. In my service area, there were a total of 1218 homes for sale at the end of September, and 802 homes were sold in that month. The math says that there are approximately 1.5 months of inventory, and according to the graphic scale to the right, that is solidly in the Seller's Market area. Fewer Homes + Multiple Offers + Increasing Prices = a Seller's Market. BUT, WHAT IF WE CONSIDER ONLY THE HIGHER PRICED HOMES? By price range using the same formula: $800,000 - 900,000 = 10.5 Months supply $900,000 - $1,000,000 = 9.0 Months supply $1,000,000 - $2,000,000 = 14.0 Months supply Certainly, there are fewer buy... 10/22/2012
