How much do homes in that neighborhood sell for?
Cyberhomes.com has a great mapping feature that can help locate areas based on average prices. For example, in this screenshot from their website (www.cyberhomes.com) the colors range from green to red. The legend in the lower left hand corner tells you that the darker green means lower prices and the red color equals higher prices. So, if you are looking for a luxury home, find the red areas and start searching there.
When you do a search using my real estate search website, Cyberhomes’ statistics and other helpful information is automatically aggregated into every search performed. When you look at the home details you’ll see the information provided. You’ll find the following information:
Detailed Property Info
School Ratings
Crime Statistics
Density Statistics
Zillow Estimates
Home Value Charts
Appreciation/Depreciation Graphs
Economic Data (ie. Unemployment Rates)
Environmental Factors
Quality of Life Statistics
The Coolest Mapping Features Available Today!

Will Prices Fizzle in This Summer Heat?
Real Estate from A to Z
By Aaron Zapata, MBA, R
These TrendGraphix graphs show the real estate market activity for all of Orange County from April 2009 until June 2010. The first chart shows the current trends for homes listed on the market versus homes actually selling. The trend is alarming. Available homes on the market are increasing rapidly while sales are not. This is a simple issue of supply and demand. Right now, there is way more supply than demand. When that happens, prices come down. The second chart shows that homes will be on the market longer.
I’m sorry to say it, but I think home prices will be dropping again soon as more and more sellers compete for the few buyers that are buying right now.
If you are thinking about selling, please call me now. Don’t delay.

Should I attend the home inspection when I am buying a house?
If you are making the biggest financial investment of your entire life, I suggest that you attend home inspection. This is your main opportunity to walk along side a professional home inspector that will painstakingly examine the home and give you their professional opinion in a written form.
Will you find things wrong? Absolutely! Even new homes have problems. However, what you are looking for is problems in the following three areas: Safety Issues, Inoperable Systems, and Structural Integrity Issues. You do want to be there to make sure that the home you are buying is perfect for you and that there are no hidden problems to be discovered after you close escrow.
Make sure you have a home inspection and I always recommend that you attend the inspection with your agent.

Want to spruce up your old tattered furniture before you put your home on the market?
I read this blog article and thought that the contents were helpful and insightful. There’s also a link on there to an eBook that is all about how to repaint furniture professionally.
Did you know that @ Prudential, we have professional home stagers that do awesome work for our clients? Did you know that a professionally staged home sells for more money than a poorly staged home or a vacant home?

Listen to Real Estate Radio News Online
I have added a new button to the right side of my website that links to a daily talk radio about Real Estate from a nationwide perspective.
The information is geared toward the consumer, not Realtors, and is packed with statistics and analysis of the current market situation. I listened to the show today and there were some very helpful tips for people considering short sales.

I attended a Tom Ferry seminar this morning at Prudential California Realty in Brea CA and he shared with us the 4 things that hold us back from living at a level 10 in our lives.
The 4 Things That Hold Us Back
Addiction to the opinion of others
Addiction to drama
Addiction to the past
Addiction to worry
Can you relate to any of these?
I know which of these are the toughest for me. What is holding you back from succeeding?
