California’s State of the Real Estate Market

Image1 2 The California Association Of Realtors (Car) Recently Published A Report On “The State Of The Real Estate Market”.  Some Of The More Interesting Facts Included The Following:

The California Association of Realtors (CAR) recently published a report on “The State of the Real Estate Market”.  Some of the more interesting facts included the following:

  • Price per square foot was $257, down 3.3% from December, but up 5.9% YTD
  • Inventory at the lowest level since June 2004 with supply constraints crossing all price ranges (no surprise there!)
  • Home prices started picking up in the second half of 2017
  • California median home prices continued to grow at a fast pace with January 2018 median home price at $547,800, representing an increase of +7.3% over the same period last year.

What does 2018 hold for real estate in California?  All signs point to a continued healthy market with inventory a persistent problem.  In some cases, the issues that arise from this stumbling block can be mitigated by a bridge loan.  In this instance, if a buyer finds the home of his/her dreams, but hasn’t yet listed their own home, our bridge loan program can provide the temporary funds necessary to secure the new home before selling their existing property.  When their property sells, they can pay off the bridge loan and live happily ever after in their new home.

If you or someone you know needs help getting into the market or is looking to refinance their property, Sun Pacific Mortgage is here to assist with our Hard Money loan programs.

We have found financing for many who have been turned down elsewhere.  Give us a call!

Are You Ready For Spring?

If You Are Considering Taking Advantage Of The 2018 “Real Estate Season”, It Is Time To Examine Your Best Mortgage Options And Prepare For The Unexpected.

Historically, the top months for Sellers to list their homes has been April, May or June.  Even though we find ourselves in a “Sellers’ Market”, these months remain more appealing simply because they might allow for a closing that coincides with the school year. If you are considering taking advantage of the 2018 “real estate season”, it is time to examine your best mortgage options and prepare for the unexpected.

One of the unexpected obstacles some buyers face is they find their dream home before selling their present one.  But, fear not, a Bridge Loan can rescue you from this dilemma!

Bridge Loans are preferred over a contingency offer, especially in a hot real estate market.  With a Bridge Loan the buyer can make a clean offer assuring the seller he has a firm commitment to the deal.  Bridge Loans are short term loans, usually of 12 months duration. This type of loan generally gets paid off with longer term financing from the sale of the existing property.  As the nomenclature implies, it provides a “bridge” from one transaction to the next.

At Sun Pacific Mortgage we have funded many of these loans and often saved transactions from the “dead deal” pile.  Give us a call at 707-523-2099 to explore the many ways we might assist you with your next real estate opportunity.

Hard Money – The Short Story

Fk What Is Hard Money? A Category Of Real Estate Loan Program, Usually Short Term, Fast And Used To Handle Whatever The Problem Was In The Profile Of The Borrower Or Property. The Problems Could Be Credit, Income, The Property Itself And/Or Simply The Need For Speed.

What is hard money? A category of real estate loan program, usually short term, fast and used to handle whatever the problem was in the profile of the Borrower or property. The problems could be credit, income, the property itself and/or simply the need for speed.

Hard Money is not money from a bank. The funds are from individuals that lend to make way more interest than they would otherwise. We have over 450 “investors” with money to lend.

Investors are mostly interested in the equity in the property which serves as the security for the loan. Most do not care about the credit score or how the borrower makes income.
Therefore the 2 qualifications for a Hard Money loan are….

1. Equity or decent down payment.

2. Ability to repay the loan.

Why Hard Money? – SPEED…… We did a loan for a couple who purchased right after the fires in October 2017. Their house burned down and they wanted to move quickly as they were displaced. Their credit was perfect, excellent incomes and a large down payment but did not want to wait to get a bank loan.

They also knew that an offer with a short escrow would be more attractive to a seller. Their Realtor offered a fair price and a 9-day close. This offer was chosen out of the many that were received!
