Are you thinking about the way you can start your new life there? How about the money that you are going to spend?

End of Real Estate Slump Ventura County 2007-06-04 10:35:00 Market experts predict end of real estate slumpFriday, June 01, 2007While part of the real estate downturn is behind us now, the buyer's market will likely continue for at least two more years, foreclosures are likely to surge and "we're heading into a year with some more price declines," a real estate consultant told an audience of building-industry professionals on Thursday.John Burns, a consultant who presented a housing market outlook during the annual Pacific Coast Builders Conference in San Francisco, said that a combination of factors, including low interest rates and unconventional mortgage products, dug deep into the pool of future home buyers during the prolonged real estate boom. And the market is still adjusting, he said."I know with a very high level of confidence that the number of foreclosures is going to surge," he said, as a high volume of subprime loans and other adjustable-rate loans are headed for a major reset in rates."It's really going to occur -- most of it - Read more:Ventura

Ventura County Secrets to Buying the Best Home 2007-06-03 16:21:00 5 Secrets
to Buying
the Best House for Your Money 1. Get "Pre-Approved" - Not "Pre-Qualified!"Do you want to get the best property you can for the least amount of money? Then make sure you are in the strongest negotiating position possible. Price is only one element in the negotiations, and not necessarily the most important one. Often other terms, such as the strength of the buyer or the length of escrow, are critical to a seller.In years past, I always recommended that buyers get "pre-qualified" by a lender. This means that you spend a few minutes on the phone with a lender who asks you a few questions. Based on the answers, the lender pronounces you "pre-qualified" and issues a certificate that you can show to a seller. Sellers are aware that such certificates are WORTHLESS, and here's why! None of the information has been verified!Many times unknown problems can come to the surface! Some of the problems I've seen include recorded judgments, alimony payments due, glitches on the c Read more:Ventura

Thousand Oaks Moving Tips! 2007-06-03 15:57:00 Moving Tips!Use the right boxes, and pack them carefullyProfessional moving companies use only sturdy, reinforced cartons. The boxes you can get at your neighborhood supermarket or liquor store might be free, but they are not nearly as strong or padded, and so can't shield your valuables as well from harm in transit.Use sheets, blankets, pillows and towels to separate pictures and other fragile objects from each other and the sides of the carton. Pack plates and glass objects vertically, rather than flat and stacked.Be sure to point out to your mover the boxes in which you've packed fragile items, especially if those items are exceptionally valuable. The mover will advise you whether those valuables need to be repacked in sturdier, more appropriate boxes.The heavier the item, the smaller the box it should occupy. A good rule of thumb is if you can't lift the carton easily, it's too heavy. Label your boxes, especially the one containing sheets and towels, so you can find everything Read more:Thousand
