Roseville and Rocklin Real Estate Market Update - June 2011

Party Real Estate Market Update time - bust out your orange caps and noise makers. Let us guide you to know what to be excited about in our local real estate economy and inventory sales and their make-up (break down).

So here we go again for our monthly update with Steve Ostrom and Jennifer Klein. Yes, we do need the noise makers and orange hats ... doesn't everyone? We like putting a positive spin on our area market updates for Roseville and Rocklin, California.

I love the still shot on this video - good times! Don't be fooled, they are excited.

Below is Jim Gillespie's video which Steve lightly references in his video (referring to the CNBC rep in the video). We can't verify how they came up with their numbers, but we know in other situations, there is a chance of folks double-counting inventory (current listed homes that in distress and homes that are deemed shadow inventory). Each area market is different so there's no blanket comment to the real estate market. 

Speaking for our numbers, which are a drop in the pan granted, but we are doing a fairly high production, many of our buyers are first time home buyers.

Please give us a call or email us to ask us what is "shadow inventory" and what's going on with the foreclosure market (many banks aren't releasing homes).

The Benefits of an Appraisal before Listing Your Property with RE Appraiser Ryan Lundquist at REBarCamp Sacramento

{EAV_BLOG_VER:6fff4b1387692656}

On Monday, Steve and I attended a fantastic and intimate real estate tech conference called REBarCamp Sacramento, hosted at "L Wine Lounge" in Sacramento. 

We not only met amazing people, and picked up a dozen plus new online techniques, we saw many of our good local real estate friends ... one of them being Ryan Lundquist, Sacramento real estate appraiser.

So in between classes, Steve O wanted to take the opportunity to ask one of our favorite real estate appraisers, Ryan Lundquist a few questions we often get asked by our sellers. Whether it's the first, second or third time for the seller ... it never hurts to get a refresher on how the processes of real estate go and evolve :-)

Questions asked: is the appraisal transferrable to a loan, how do we arrive at an appraisal amount and finally questions about unique properties ... 

Check out the interview below between REALTOR® Steve Ostrom and Appraiser Ryan Lundquist. Can't see the video, click here. 

Thank you Ryan! BTW, if you like staying hip on appraisal views and area trivia, you must check out Ryan's blog - he's a real estate appraiser out of the Sacramento area.

You can also find Ryan online on Twitter at: @SacAppraiser
