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).

Thanks for watching. Work and laugh hard ... always our team spirit. Make educated decisions with a smile. :-)

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

This is a fun post about questions we are asked often ... little random "factoids" about Mr. O. 

We take our job and you seriously ... and yes we have an orange addiction. :-) Oh and Steve loves golf ... and thinks he always makes a fantastic fourth in your foursome. 

Here are some funny pictures of our "Orange Ostrom O-ddiction"

What's Up with the Goldfish? The Goldfish Comes from Our Slogan / Motto ... 
 "Make the Jump With Us" - see below  :-) 

The Goldfish just cracked me up and just became a member of our marketing family early on ... I find cheesy photos and glamazon head shots are not our style, so we do like stand out and do things a bit different. It may not appeal to everyone, but we think it's worth the risk as we try to be as transparent about our personalities, style and approach. Orange reflects our bright and high-energy personalities.

We love life, family and working hard and try to do it all with a laugh and smile. We do have a raging orange addiction ... we even had orange in our wedding. 

So I'm sure that's way more than you ever wanted to know about us ...
but here we are and there's a bit of history of our marketing: Orange, Suits and a Goldfish ...
