Hella's Column October 11, 2010: At this point in time, consider buying from a motivated seller! Home buyers can't help but be affected by the news right now that lenders have suspended Foreclosures in part by faulty documents, and title companies refusing to insure them. Also that there is a high "shadow" inventory of bank owned properties that have not been released into the marketplace yet. What will be the outcome of this? No one is predicting how that will affect the market because no one knows! Through all this turmoil, sellers who are NOT underwater with their mortgage nor facing foreclosure are in a quandary if they want to sell their property for a variety of reasons. For example, they have moved to another location because of a new job or be near their family. These sellers may not want to rent out their property or leave it empty. They may need the money from the home to buy another one at the new location. What to do? First and foremost, the reality is that in order to be competitive these sellers have to lower the price of their home to be competitive with bank owned or short sale properties. So, if you are a buyer, which would you purchase? A REO property that is sold without warranties "as is" and you might face a lot of repairs? (I am not even touching on the possible fallout from the current legal bruhaha.) Or one that is offered as a "short sale" but you have to wait for lender approval which takes weeks or months and where you are in competition with several other offers? And, even more frustrating is the possibility that the bank forecloses on the home before the "short sale" can be completed which cancels out the purchase? In essence, you have lost a lot of time for this "deal." Or would you look for a seller who is motivated and has none of the lender/foreclosure issues mentioned above? Just putting it out there.... For example, check out the homes/properties I have listed in the "under $200,000" price category in Northern California near the Oregon border on the Pacific Coast that do not have the lender/foreclosure issues. See my website http://www.hellarothwell.com Here is what I suggest: |

Hella's Column March 28, 2010: When you purchase property through the LISTING real estate agent, "In representing both Seller and Buyer the agent may not, without the express permission of the respective party, disclose to the other party that the Seller will accept a price less than the listing or that the Buyer will pay a price greater than the price offered." Here's the quandary:

Tip to buying affordable Oceanfront Real Estate: Take a look at Northern California near the Oregon border: Or Click here for Large Oceanview House for $399,999!!! Or Click here for Acreage near beach for $269,000!!! Or Click here for a 2 acre ocean view lot for $169,000!!! I am sure you have priced out real estate along the California coast and found it very expensive. I know, I used to live in Carmel-by-the-Sea and looked for something throughout Monterey County. During a coastal drive along US Highway 101 on my way to Oregon, I came to Crescent City with its beautiful Pebble Beach Drive (see http://www.pebblebeachdrive.com ) followed by the Smith River area (see http://www.smithrivercalifornia.com). When you click on these websites you will see what I found - both are my websites created to show you what I mean. What do you think of this unspoiled beauty?Hella Hella Rothwell, California Broker/Realtor, has lived in some of the most desirable communities in California and Hawaii. And without fail, coastal areas that started out as "quaint" like the now mostly second-home village of Carmel-by-the-Sea, to vacation rental hot spots such as the Kohala Coast on the Big Island of Hawaii, their ocean front real estate prices have skyrocketet. Del Norte County in Northern California has all the earmarks of being the next "discovery" in part because of its scenic splendor. Urbanites seeking to relocate are not sedentary, they want access to outdoor activities which are boundless here. And the biggest draw of all is that real estate is still very affordable. For those who want a slice of "gold coastline," it can still be found reasonably priced in Del Norte County. Let Hella Rothwell will help you find that perfect property in Del Norte county's Crescent City, Hiouchi, Smith River and Gasque area. The Real Estate expertise that Oceanfront Real Estate offers will help protect your Crescent City Real Estate investment and provide many insights while helping you find that new Crescent City Real Estate property or investment. Whether you live in Carmel Valley in Monterey or San Diego, you can't help but wonder what it would be like to live right on the Pacific Ocean with its wonderful beaches and spectacular sunsets. Maybe you are thinking about selling your home and retiring somewhere, or you are looking for a second home. And you KNOW that oceanfront property is the best kind of real estate investment, but can you afford Monterey or San Diego oceanfront property?
