Five Ways to Find Foreclosures
One of the challenges facing President Obama in dealing with the struggling housing market is going to be tackling the staggering number of foreclosures on the market.
In the Financial Stability Plan, introduced today by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, the government is proposing spending $50 billion on foreclosure prevention programs (see Inman News story). And while this may help stem the tide of future foreclosures it won’t help those homeowners who have already lost their homes.

What are the Stimulus Plan and TARP II going to mean for the housing and mortgage markets?
While I could write for a LONG time about it, I’m going to limit it to what I feel are the top 6 things that I think could very well happen. Keep in mind, this is being written after watching President Obama’s press conference but before anything gets passed.
1. The market is expecting that both the Stimulus Plan and TARP II will provide “the answer” to the problems that are currently plaguing our economy. With that being said, I believe the markets will be disappointed because the problems facing the economy are way more complex and urgent than what one or two bills can solve. The disappointment will put downward pressure on stocks and upward pressure on rates.

Is it Safe to Buy a Home in a Down Market?
Should you wait to buy in a down market?
It's scary for home buyers and sellers when markets change. Just when you think you know what's going on in real estate -- POOF -- it changes! It might help, though, to know that markets move in cycles.
Sometimes they go up, sometimes down; sometimes they are moving around in circles, but the real estate market is never so squirrelly that economists can't point to past performance as some kind of indicator of future direction. Yet, change is enough to stop some would-be buyers stone cold and cause them to fret about the consequences of buying in a down market. Is it safe? Is it smart? The answers will astonish you . . . read more about Home Buying in a Down Market.

Cupertino vs Cupertino Area
“Is this house in Cupertino or not ?” It is very confusing in Santa Clara County California agreeing on “Cupertino” vs Cupertino Area. The local Multiple Listing Service defines Cupertino area to be most of the Cupertino city and some of San Jose City with the zip code of 95129, also known as West San Jose. For example, as a general rule, properties locate at the east of De Anza Blvd and South of Bollinger Road and North of Prospect Road has the zip code of 95129. Yet, they are in the Cupertino Area or West San Jose. Nevertheless, Schools in Cupertino and Cupertino area is known to have better test score than other schools. The school districts are Cupertino Union Elementary School District, Moreland Elementary School District, Montebello Elementary School District, and Fremont Union High School District. It appears some buyers prefer to buy houses belong to Monta Vista High school or Lynbrook High school. A potential buyer should always confirm schools with the proper authority not through their real estate agent, listing agent, or the seller. After all, it is possible school boundary change throughout the year. Therefore, “I live in Cupertino area” can mean this person has Cupertino address. It can also mean this person’s zip code is 95129.
What are Buyer and Seller Markets?
When most people set out to buy or sell, they're not wondering about whether it's a seller's or a buyer's market.
Home buyers and sellers are thinking about their own needs, about buying or selling. Moreover, sometimes agents, in their rush to grab a listing or sign up that buyer on a buyer’s broker agreement, don’t talk about the marketplace or educate their clients.
One of the first steps any serious seller or buyer should make is to determine the temperature in the marketplace. Is it hot, cold or neutral? It can mean a world of difference regarding your bottom line because your negotiation tactics will be polar opposites in opposing markets. The way you make money in a seller’s market would lose you money in a buyer’s market. Being uninformed about markets could cost you big time . . . read more about Buyers' and Sellers' Real Estate Markets.

Things to Buy After Home Buying
Many of the first-time home buyers with whom I work put down less than 5% to buy a home; at least four out of five opt for FHA loans. Making a smaller down payment can make more financial sense than liquidating assets or cash accounts, especially if those assets are under-performing in today's stock market. If cash is tight, it’s smarter to keep your powder dry. Why? Because you’ve only just begun to shop.
