Happy Chinese New Year: The Year of the Horse!



Today I'm changing my usual real estate theme on my video blog to something a little more important. Happy Chinese New Year!

I'd like to wish you a strong and energetic New Year.

Until next time, stay safe and happy. I look forward to visiting with you again soon.

2014 in real estate - from Orange to Riverside County



Welcome back and happy New Year. I hope 2014 is a year of prosperity, health and happiness for you. You may be wondering what is in store for the real estate market.

Price appreciation is still high. Bruce Norris, a noted real estate guru, believes Riverside County will do much better than Los Angeles.

FHA has decreased their loan limits. In Orange County and Los Angeles the limit dropped almost $100,000 and is now $625,000.  In San Bernardino and Riverside Counties the limit is $355,000.  However, there are some great new 5-year Adjustable Rate Mortgages available.
