The Dangers of Overpricing Your Home to Sell

By Christine Schlittenhart, Vista Realty Group

When the average seller sits down to interview real estate agents, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement over choosing a sales price. More money means more financial opportunities for the homeowner. Perhaps it means the seller can afford to buy a more expensive home, help pay for her child's college education or take that greatly overdue vacation. Unfortunately, uninformed sellers often choose the listing agent who suggests the highest list price, which is the worst mistake a seller can make.
  The truth is it doesn't really matter how much money you think your home is worth. The person whose opinion matters is the buyer who makes an offer. Pricing homes is part art and part science. It involves comparing similar properties, making adjustments for the differences among them, tracking market movements and taking stock of present inventory, all in an attempt to come up with a range of value, an educated opinion. This method is the same way an appraiser evaluates a home. And no two appraisals are ever exactly the same; however, they are generally close to each other. In other words, there is no hard and fast price tag to slap on your home. It's only an educated guess and the market will dictate the price.
Homes sell at a price a buyer is willing to pay and a seller is willing to accept. If a home is priced too low, priced under the competition, the seller should receive multiple offers to drive up the price to market value. So, there is little danger in pricing a home too low. The danger lies in pricing it too high and selecting an agent solely on opinion of value. 
Remember to take the emotion out of the equation, and look at selling your home as a business opportunity.  The right time to sell your home is when you need it sold!!

What is the Difference Between a Trust and a Will?

By Allison Harvey, Attorney, A. L. Harvey Law, PLC

Everyone has heard of a will or a trust but many times the terms are used interchangeably as if they are the same. They are not. Both are tools that can be used when creating an estate plan however, both have different purposes and are used at different times.
One of the biggest differences between a will and a trust is that the will only comes into effect after you die. A trust is used both during your life and after your death. A will designates who you want to receive your estate after your death and designates an individual to carry out those wishes. A trust allows distribution of your estate during your lifetime, at your death or even at a later time. A trust is an agreement between the person who creates the trust (you) and the person who manages the trust assets upon your passing, or you while you are alive.

Another big difference between a will and a trust is the will passes through probate. This means that the court will oversee the distribution of property upon your death even if those wishes are written in a will. The probate process is costly, time consuming and public and the will becomes public record. Unlike a will, a trust passes outside of probate which means it does not need the court to oversee the process and the distribution of your estate does not become public record. This generally saves time and money.
In many cases a will is used in conjunction with a trust. All property is held by the trust and a “pour over will” is used to ensure that anything which was mistakenly left out of the trust pours into the trust at the time of death. The “pour over will” also can be used to designate guardianship of minor children. If the will is used this way and set up properly it will not pass property through probate.
Every individual’s estate planning needs are different. For some a will is the correct tool, while for others a trust is necessary. This article should not be construed as legal advice. If you have questions about which is best for you contact an attorney that can assist you to make that decision.

Attention Sellers: Take Advantage of the Spring-Summer Real Estate Market!

By Christine Schlittenhart, Vista Realty Group DRE#01704242

Spring to early Summer marks the beginning of the busiest home-selling and home-buying season in our area. With the warmer weather, more daylight, and the impetus to get a new house in order before the next school calendar begins, buyers are more likely to shop during this time of year, with home buying peaking in June. 
Below are a few reasons why you should take advantage and list during this “On-Season”:

• Higher Exposure: There’s no doubt spring is when properties shine. The flowers are in bloom and buyers are out. Daylight saving time also gives buyers more time to look at houses, which means your property can be seen by more buyers during the day, leading to more exposure. More exposure means a bigger chance for more interested buyers.
• Advantage of Bidding Wars: Bidding wars are a headache for buyers but a big plus for sellers. Bidding wars mean more money in your pocket. They also usually mean buyers are less likely to make repair requests or other demands. Additionally, cash buyers are some of the more aggressive bidders, so you might find a buyer with a fistful of dollars with a fast lane to closing day.
• Higher Sales Price: Unlike other markets, where more inventory means lower prices, the housing market works the opposite way: Prices are highest in the prime season, when most homes are listed.

It sounds counterintuitive, but it’s a function of demand being very seasonal, driven by weather and school year. There are also more buyers in spring and summer, as this is the most convenient time for most people to move. So relative to demand, the supply of homes is actually tighter in spring and summer than in fall and winter.

• Stronger Appraisals: When your house is being valued, the appraiser will look into data for comparable homes sold in your neighborhood. But if the most recent data is from a home that sold for cheap in the winter, it can hurt your valuation. With more homes selling in the On-Season, the comparable data (or "comps") are more accurate.

How to Have a Successful Home Buying Experience

By Christine Schlittenhart, Sierra Pacific Real Estate

You've made the excited decision to buy a home – now you want to make sure the process is successful and rewarding.  If you're like every other first-time buyer, the moment you decide to seriously look for a home, you'll be energized, if not consumed, by the process.  You'll want to do everything in your power to find the right home fast! 
Realtors across the country say that the most important thing you as a buyer can do is BE HONEST about what you really want in a home and what you actually need. Most buyers think they're being honest, but they may not turn their vision into usable information for their agent.  You can say you NEED a 4 bedroom house, but if you don't tell your agent that you need the 4th bedroom for an office, you're not being as helpful as you could be.  Why?  A house may have other spaces for an office – such as a 3rd floor attic that offers privacy – but they may not meet the official definition of a bedroom, so you miss out on a perfect home. 

Follow these other tips for a helpful and flawless buying experience:
· First and foremost, chose a local licensed real estate agent that has been referred to you by family, friends and co-workers.  You might want to consider interviewing several agents to make sure the agent's personality and work ethic meet your needs. 
· Have your Realtor refer at least 3 different lenders, if you are not currently working with one.  Interview these lenders just like you interviewed your real estate agents.  Do not start viewing homes with your Realtor until you have received a pre-qualification letter from your chosen lender.

2017 MV Community Service Award

The Meadow Vista area has been fortunate to have people like the Arp family who have a strong sense of giving back to their community.
Jane Arp volunteered as a teacher's aide at Placer Hills School for many years.  Jane committed herself to helping children in the classroom even though for most of the time of volunteer service she did not have a child of her own in the school.  She volunteered one day a week in as many as three different classrooms (Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Ensley and Mrs. Linkugle).  In the words of Mrs. Anderson, “Her greatest desire is to service any child on a one-to-one basis for any reason—academically or personally.  Her attendance is faithful, she is always cheerful, professional towards everyone, positive and so very full of encouragement.  She readily accepts all children at their levels of learning and guides them to any and all achievements.  Her main strength is the ability to turn a child's attitude about learning or themselves from a negative to a positive, thus boosting their self-esteem and the child's willingness to continue as best they can showing pride.”
Fred Arp was on the coaching staff of the U.C. Davis football team for 40 years, during which the team had 37 consecutive winning seasons, 20 straight conference titles and 18 postseason appearances.  Mr. Arp was inducted into the U.C. Davis Hall of Fame in 2010 and was previously inducted into the Colfax High School Hall of Fame, as a charter inductee, in 1997.
Fred Arp and Jane Arp established the Arp Family Foundation about 20 years ago and have funded the Foundation.  The Foundation annually has provided funds for the Colfax High School athletic program and other youth-oriented organizations.  The Meadow Vista Community Center project has received several annual grants from the Arp Family Foundation totaling $82,250.
Mrs. Ann Arp Crispin made several grants to the Meadow Vista Community Center of stock and cash totaling $134,826.  With so many good causes to choose from, the Meadow Vista area is fortunate that Mrs. Crispin has chosen the Meadow Vista Community Center as recipient of her generosity.
There will be a celebration at the next MAC meeting 6/7/17 (1st Wednesday in June) to be held at Winchester Country Club, 3030 Legends Drive, Meadow Vista, CA  95722  (For directions call:  530-878-3000.)  The MAC meeting will start at 6pm, and as a part of our normal meeting, the award will be presented by Jennifer Montgomery.  The meeting will be followed by a reception to honor the Arp family.

Spring Housing Already Overheating

By Christine Schlittenhart, Sierra Pacific Real Estate

The spring housing market started early this year, not because of higher-than-average temperatures but because of hotter-than-average demand and overheating home prices. This year may be the starkest example of a post-recession reality that is redefining housing as we know it.
Housing affordability is the key to helping break yet another year of gridlocked inventory, but all signs are showing that homes this spring will be much less affordable than last year.
Affordability is being hit on several fronts: The foreclosure crisis is over, but it left behind an entirely new landscape for potential buyers. Entry-level homes are scarce because investors bought tens of thousands of them during the crisis and turned them into rentals. The number of single-family rentals jumped to more than 15 million, up from about 11 million in 2009, according to the U.S. Census.
  Homebuilders continue to operate well below normal levels because of higher costs and a lack of labor, and thousands of construction workers left the business during the recession, never to return. Builders don't focus on entry-level homes because the margins are simply too tight, and prices for new construction are also rising at a fast clip.
  What's more, credit is still tight, and the youngest cohort of buyers, the millennials, are delaying marriage and parenthood, the two biggest drivers of home ownership. The shortage of homes for sale has now pushed prices to a 30-year high. Rising mortgage rates only add to the pressure.
  Housing demand climbed considerably this year, even compared with last year, as the leading edge of the largest generation finally moves into home buying and a stronger job market supports them. A monthly demand index from Redfin jumped to the highest level since January 2013, when the index began. Compared to January 2016, homebuyer demand was up 23 percent, led by a 26 percent annual increase in homebuyers requesting tours and an 18 percent increase in buyers making offers.
  Soaring stock markets, still-low mortgage rates, and a steady economy bolstered homebuyers at the start of 2017.  Homebuyers were not just window shopping. They were serious about making offers and getting to the closing table. However, this uptick in homebuyer enthusiasm won't guarantee strong sales in the coming months. With pending home sales down across the country in January despite strong demand, the lack of supply is a formidable foe for buyers this year.
  Higher home prices in some areas are supported by improving local economies and employment, but in other markets, too much demand pitted against too little supply is resulting in overheated housing.
  Potential buyers today are facing tough new realities. Some houses are clearly overpriced, and renting is still a better financial option in some markets. Competition is fierce for the best homes, and buyers have to be
ready to pull out all the tricks.

Californians Fleeing High Cost of Housing

Submitted By Christine Schlittenhart, Sierra Pacific Real Estate

Recent real estate data shows that for every home buyer coming into California, another three are selling their homes, packing up and moving out. 625,000 more U.S. residents left California between 2007 and 2014 than moved into the state. The vast majority ended up in Texas, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona and Washington.

The search for more affordable housing is sending low and middle-income workers out of the state, while higher-wage workers continue to move in, which argues against the theory that high taxes are driving people away.

California is experiencing an employment boom with a housing problem. The state continues to offer great employment opportunities for all kinds of workers, but housing affordability and supply represent a significant problem. Home prices and rents have been rising steadily for more than four years.

Many baby boomers are moving to Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Georgia or North Carolina where home prices are considerably lower. Still others are relocating to Texas. Home prices are cheaper there, although property taxes are higher. (My last 3 sellers moved out of state to Idaho.)
High housing prices are also impacting younger Californians. California home prices have risen in part because of a lack of inventory.

From 2005 to 2015, permits were filed for only 21.5 housing units per every 100 new residents in the state. That put the Golden State second to last behind Alaska, where only 16.2 housing permits were filed for every 100 new residents.

Should I Sell My Home Now or Wait Until Spring?

By Christine Schlittenhart, Sierra Pacific Real Estate

As with every decision in life, there are pros and cons, and choosing when to sell a home is no different. There are many factors that need to be taken into consideration before deciding when to sell a home. Many homeowners believe selling a home during the winter months is not a good idea and that the spring is the only time a house should be sold. This is the furthest from the truth. Certainly most real estate markets across the United States experience a "spring market rush" every year. There is no doubt that the "spring market" is a great time to be selling and buying real estate, however, the winter season may be the best fit for you for many reasons.

Here are several reasons why choosing to sell your home NOW may be a better decision than waiting until the spring:

Less Competition

We are currently experiencing limited inventory in our area.  One great reason to sell your home now and not wait until the spring market is there is sure to be less competition.  The fewer number of comparable homes for sale, the greater the probability that a buyer will look at your home. Not only will less competition increase the probability for showings, but it will also increase the probability that an offer will be received and you will get the maximum amount of money for your home.

Serious Buyers Are Out There

Homes are sold and bought 365 days a year, period!  Many homeowners believe that buyers aren't out there during the winter months. This simply is not the case. Serious buyers are always out there!  Some buyers may stop their home search because it is the fall or winter, but serious buyers will continue to look at homes, no matter what time of year it is.

Mortgage Rates Are Low

If you've read about real estate in the past year, it's likely you've read that the mortgage rates are still very low.  You also probably read that there is an expectation that the rates will increase very soon. Since mortgage rates are so low right now, buyers are able to afford more expensive homes.  Bottom line: take advantage of selling your home while the rates are this low.

Quicker Transactions

Right now, there are fewer real estate transactions than there will be in the spring.  The fewer number of transactions means the mortgage lenders have less loans to process, title companies have less closings to do, and home inspectors have fewer inspections to do.  All of these factors should lead to a quicker transaction and closing for all the parties involved.  One of the most frustrating things for a seller to deal with while selling their home is not getting answers in a reasonable amount of time. A quicker transaction is going to be less stress for you.

Conclusion?  NOW is the time to list your home for sale with one of your Meadow Vista Merchant Realtor members.

Top 10 Summer Real Estate Selling Tips

By Christine Schlittenhart, Sierra Pacific Real Estate

Research from top Real Estate professionals produced the following ten Spring cleaning tips for homeowners who want to impress potential buyers. If you don't have time to do them all, start with the first three, which have the biggest impact.
1. Replace Popcorn Ceilings. Otherwise known as cottage cheese ceilings or acoustic ceilings, this type of treatment was common in homes built from 1950-1980. Unfortunately modern day homebuyers don't like it. Removing or covering a popcorn ceiling is a time intensive process, but can increase the value of your home.
2. Apply Fresh Paint. A new coat of interior and exterior paint dramatically improves the appearance of your home and makes it feel fresh and clean. To appeal to the widest audience, stick to neutral colors that will go with any furniture, and choose an exterior paint that matches other homes in the neighborhood.
3. Focus on the Floors. Steam clean all carpets, use a wood-cleaning product on hardwood floors, and consider professional cleaning for tile or marble. The walls, ceiling and floors are what potential buyers pay the closest attention to while on home tours, so it's important that they are as clean as possible.
4. Make a Grand Entrance. Consider replacing or painting the front door; if you have shutters, paint them a matching color. Clean and polish the door knob and fixtures, and dress up the entry with seasonal decorations such as flowers or a wreath. People are naturally attracted to symmetry, so place any accents on both sides of the door.
5. Replace or Repair the Mailbox. An old or damaged mailbox makes the wrong first impression. You can purchase a new one at most hardware stores and major retailers. If you replace the post, make sure it sits at a height of 42 inches above ground to meet federal regulations.
6. Maintain the Yard. Landscaping has a major effect on curb appeal. Make sure your home looks its best by mowing the lawn, weeding the flowerbeds, and pruning the bushes. Planting small flowers in the yard can be an inexpensive way to add a pop of color.
7. De-clutter and Organize. Keep only the essentials, and put everything else in storage or give it away. Not only will your home feel cleaner and bigger when it's not filled with stuff, this process will save you time when you're ready to move.
8. Let in the Light. Wash the windows inside and out, clean the curtains and blinds, dust any light fixtures and replace any burnt-out bulbs. A room filled with light will feel more warm and inviting.
9. Deep Clean the Kitchen and Bath. Wipe down or paint the cupboards, clean the grout between tiles, clear everything off the counters. Re-caulk tubs, showers and sinks and polish the fixtures. Make sure no mold is present.
10. Stage the Backyard. The backyard is often the last thing buyers see on a tour, so it should look nice. Simple staging can make a big difference. Get rid of decorations and clutter in the yard, add a table and chair set, power wash and stain the deck and fence, and clean the pool and spa. Remove any dying plants, and take down any shed or outdoor storage that's in poor condition. If budget permits, add a barbeque, fire pit, Koi pond or outdoor lighting to create an inviting space.

Make Your Home a HOT Commodity this Winter

By Christine Schlittenhart, Sierra Pacific Real Estate

Although the holiday season can be a hectic time to show and sell your house, there are distinct advantages to staging and showing your home at this time of year  you have a chance to show your home at its very best, adorned with warmth and cheer that's sure to charm. Nothing is more inviting than a home brimming with greenery, twinkling lights and holiday decorations.

First impressions are important. Do you have late fall leaves littering the ground? Rake them up. Also, make sure the walks and stairs are free of ice.

A few exterior holiday lights or decorations show pride in ownership and seasonal cheer, but they don't add anything during the day when potential homebuyers will be looking at your home, so don't overdo them. Another thing to consider: Would-be buyers may view it favorably if nearby homes are brimming with lights  it shows unity and neighborliness  so you'll want to find a tasteful balance.

As you set out to win over holiday homebuyers, here are a few other tips to keep in mind:

• Trim outdoor trees so unexpected winds don't knock down branches that could damage your home or hurt someone.

• Place a holiday welcome mat outside the front door.

• Keep the door area clear of bicycles, toys or parcels left by the mail carrier.

• Hang a festive wreath on your door.

• Play holiday music in the background.

• Keep the house cozy. Entering a cold house could chill potential buyers' enthusiasm.

• Light a fire in the fireplace just before the agent shows your house. (But never leave a fire unattended.)

• Choose a tree and decorate it to complement the room where it's displayed. You don't want the tree to appear to take over the entire living or family room. Remove furniture, if necessary.

• Keep decorations on the conservative side. You want your house to be noticed, not your decorations.

• Be certain your windows are sparkling clean.

• Let there be light. Open blinds and curtains and turn on interior lights to reduce the pervasive dreariness of winter months.

• Bake holiday cookies and treats to fill the home with enticing aromas before the prospective buyers arrive.

Ultimately, you want to convey the love, comfort and joy your family has shared in the house so that buyers will be eager to move in and create their own holiday memories.  As always, contact a local Meadow Vista Merchant Realtor today to get you started on preparing your home for sale during our Winter market.

How to Buy a Home in a Competitive Real Estate Market

By Christine Schlittenhart, Sierra Pacific Real Estate

Demand for real estate is growing in many markets across the country, but especially in our special area of the Foothills. That’s great, but it creates competition in the form of all-cash offers, offers for thousands of dollars over list price, and a growing gap between affordability and prices in a given area.

If you are a buyer who needs to have their purchase financed – pay attention to these 5 tips that may help you secure the home of your dreams. Don’t forget that price is certainly a factor – if not the most important factor to a Seller – but these tips can give you an advantage when you’re trying to secure an initial commitment from the seller.

1. Get the Right Lender - Your loan officer’s reputation in the community is critical, especially among the agents who are controlling the deals. If your loan officer has a trusted name, recognition and a favorable presence in the local market, this can be communicated via the listing agent, who has a direct influence on what offer the seller takes.

2. Get the Right Buyer’s Agent - You’ll need a real estate agent to represent you if you’re going to be making offers on properties listed on the open market. Ideally, the person you’re going to want representing you is someone who has a reputation for delivering in the local market. This is especially important as many real estate agents network with each other and work with each other on a regular basis. If your buyer’s agent has a favorable reputation not only in the local community, but with the listing agent in a previous transaction, for example, this is a very good sign that person can influence the seller because they know the offer is strong and they trust the other side.

3. Get an Introduction to the Listing Agent - Upon your buyer’s agent (who’s representing you) offer submission, your loan officer calls the listing agent to introduce themselves and explain how well-qualified you are to purchase that property. Many listing agents inevitably call the lenders of the buyers whose offers are strong on paper in an attempt to feel them out about the buyer’s qualifications. Preemptively, taking this step is a favorable approach that makes it easier for the listing agent to influence the seller to accept your offer.

4. Understand How You Appear on Paper - It doesn’t matter if you have $500,000 in income; if you’re buying a home and putting less than 20% down, even if another offer is higher than yours, the offer with 20% down still looks stronger on paper to agents. Another approach to take to increase your odds of getting the seller to accept: Don’t request a credit for closing costs in your initial purchase offer. When you ask for a credit for closing costs based on whatever purchase price amount you are looking for, that gives the seller less net proceeds at closing — that is, unless you offer a higher purchase price and ask for a credit that way. But be aware, doing the latter means the house must appraise for a higher value to support your higher offered amount with your requested credits for cash to close.

5. Offer a Short Closing - Upon making an offer to buy a property, making an offer to close in less than 30 days is an aggressive approach, communicating to the seller that your financing is lined up and it’s time to play ball. Know that lenders are up against federal mandatory disclosure time frames and, as such, have certain thresholds they have to meet in order to be federally compliant with recent regulatory changes.

By making sure you’re covering all these bases when you’re making offers and getting acclimated to the local housing market, your odds of getting your offer accepted could dramatically increase. Don’t forget to seek out one of your local Meadow Vista Merchant Agents, who are willing and waiting to help you!

• The results indicate that 57 percent of adults think now is a good or excellent time to purchase items they want or need, especially when it comes to entering the housing market.
• Millennials and move-up buyers represent the most engaged consumer segments, 85 percent and 71 percent, respectively, intending to purchase a home in the future.
• As for baby boomer trends, 50 percent of those aged 55 and older are looking to purchase a home in the future.
• Seventy percent of home shoppers plan to spend more or as much money on their next home, and 64 percent prefer to spend more on a home that's move-in ready rather than spend less and renovate.
