Cheap Yucaipa Homes for Less than $300,000

 34782 Tara LN, Yucaipa 92399 - $219,900

Today we're exploring the available homes in the City of Yucaipa that are priced at $300,000 or less.  Yucaipa is such a beautiful city.  It's a good mix of rural rolling hills with large lots of land and convenient shopping.  In fact, a TJ Maxx store just had their Grand Opening on Sunday October 13th in Yucaipa!  I tried to go by and check out the grand opening, but the parking lot was packed!  I didn't even bother to go inside that day.  Seemed like the shopping could have escalated into a contact sport if bargain shoppers got rowdy! 

Let me know if there are any homes that you would like to learn more about!

Homes in Redlands for less than $300,000

1069 OCCIDENTAL, Redlands 92374 - $199,000

It seems as if we have made a new routine for this site!  For the past few days, I've wanted to share some posts, Monday through Friday, with a clickable link to a list of the latest homes for sale in the various cities in the Inland Empire.  If you are liking these lists, let me know by commenting below.  I will keep posting them.  What I like about this direct-from-the-MLS lists is that they are the most updated source of information.  Other websites, like Zillow or Trulia etc., may not have the most updated information - I have seen this happen on multiple occasions.  People will call me on what they perceive to be a really good available deal from Zillow, but when I look up the property on my MLS, the house is unfortunately, already sold.

Today our homes list is for the City of Redlands.  I searched for regular homes, condos, and townhomes that have 3 or more bedrooms under $300,000.  Let me know if there are any homes you'd like to know more about!  Comment below or email me at tina.jan@coldwellbanker.com.

Look forward to hearing from you!

26057 Iris AV # C, Moreno Valley 92555 - $155,000

 
Today, I did a quick search for homes for sale in Moreno Valley, California.  Attributes that I searched for were properties that had 3 or more bedrooms, but were priced at $200,000 or less.

As I reviewed the results, I saw two properties that were priced at less than $100,000!  As the prices have increased in the past few years, it has been harder to find those cheap homes!  But it looks like there might still be a few out there.

A New Look for TinaJan.com

TinaJan.com is getting a new look!  It's high time things changed around here.  I was getting tired of looking at the same background everyday.

Say buh-bye to my beautiful Beaumont background pic!

Gadgets in the sidebar that weren't showing up correctly got the boot, specifically the Twitter feed widgets and Flickr pic updates.  The footer image of me when I first started real estate almost 9 years ago had to go as well!

I hope you like the new look.  Having a dynamic blog as a website means that things should be changing often.  Blogger.com makes it easy to switch up the templates and customize the look with just a click.  I remember when I had a static website years ago and every change meant meticulous HTML coding.  Thank goodness we are well past that.

Instagram pic of my workdesk - the epitome of excitement!

I'd love to figure out a way to post my Instagram pics on here and upload more videos.  As soon as I figure those out, there will be even more updates to this site.

Thanks for your patience!

California Realtor EXPO 2013

Every year the California Association of Realtors (CAR) holds an expo with dozens of guest speakers, training classes, and marketplace vendor booths galore.  The locations change each year, but this year it's in Long Beach!  It's not too far away for it to be a day-trip for Inland Empire Realtors, myself included!

I'm looking forward to mingling with other California Realtors and learning about new technology and services!  Anyone else going to the Expo this year?  Since this is my first year going, do you have any tips and tricks for making the whole experience better?  If so, feel free to comment below!

Government Shutdown: How Does it Affect Buyers and Sellers?

According to yesterday's article in the LA Times, the government shutdown is affecting buyers and sellers in a negative way.

Although mortgage rates have gone down significantly, there are many delays to the home buying and selling process that will make transactions more difficult for all parties involved. 

David H. Stevens, president and chief executive of the Mortgage Bankers Assn., said in a statement on Thursday that "lenders processing loans that need tax transcripts, Social Security number verification, or FHA home loans face longer delays and reduced functionality." 

The article continues by suggesting that potential mortgage borrowers discuss with their lenders about timelines and expectations, as well as ask about longer commitments, longer rate locks and extension policies.

How do you feel about the government shutdown?  Has this affected your home buying or selling ability?  Comment below, I'd like to hear from others who are facing delays to their property transactions because of this.

San Jacinto Homes for $200,000 or less

1922 Warwick St, San Jacinto 92582 - $200,000

As home values have jumped up significantly, affordable homes have become scarce.  One of the few places in Riverside County that still have homes for $200,000, or less, is the beautiful city of San Jacinto.  For those of you who are not familiar with San Jacinto, visit the San Jacinto City Page. 

1271 Reinhart St, San Jacinto 92583 - $199,000

Click here for a list of homes in San Jacinto that are $200,000 and less.  The good homes get snapped up quickly in the current market.  In fact, during the time it took me to search/make this homes list and type this short post, one of the available homes went into escrow!  This being said, if you want to take a look at any of these homes, email me at tinajan@gmail.com or call/txt me at 909-446-2666.

Thanks!

And we are back!

It's been a busy year so far in real estate. Lots of interesting changes in the market have left buyers and sellers scratching their heads, I'm sure!

Now that October has rolled around, I think it's high time to change things up on this little real estate blog.  So many aspects have changed in the real estate market, I have grown as a Realtor since I first started over 8 years ago, and I think its appropriate for the blog to grow a bit as well. 

After several vacation trips here and there during the summer, I've finally settled back to into my work routine and I'm chomping at the bit to get back into Realtor-mode!  

As far as this blog is concerned, I'm going to get back to the basics and cover more real estate news and info on a daily basis. Since being a Realtor is more like a lifestyle than a job, I think I am going to expand into my tech tools, app recs, and other helpful ideas. And finally, I'd like to make the blog more pic and video friendly. I am literally gearing up to do short videos by purchasing more audio/video equipment!

It will be a bit of a struggle as I am a bit camera-shy (I can't get over the fact that I am having conversations with pieces of black/silver colored audio/visual hardware rather than actual people).  But if you can overlook my awkwardness, I hope that some tidbits of helpful info will be your reward!

Visit often and stay tuned!
