The state of California’s economy is as large as some small county’s entire economy. That’s why when the nation takes a hit, we’re sure to feel the impact even more severely. Of course, the reverse is also true. When there are signs of an economic comeback, California often leads the charge. Take for instance the foreclosure rates. Here in California those numbers were at an all time five year low between July and September. That means that the housing market is coming back in a big way.
“We started out a few years ago with over 400 homes and now we are at the 250K range of homes available for purchase. So that really drives the sale price up,” Real Estate Agent Lisa Bristow said to a local interviewer.
Drilling down into the numbers finds that Chico real estate agents have been seen a positive uptick in their business lately. That’s because they’ve sold about 150 more homes in the Chico area this year, compared with the same time last year. Overall there are fewer homes on the market which is not only driving prices up but also forcing realtors to be even more competitive. This is when they have to use their imagination to see all the possibilities of a potential property.
Realtors already know the benefit of staging a home but before it can even get to that phase, that same home might need a major cleanup. In extreme cases, a home on the market could be in wonderful condition but it’s the home next door that really needs the cleanup. With a small investment, a real estate agent can partner up with Junk King Gold Country to clean up any property and return it to its previous saleable condition.
Junk King is often hired by homeowners for “selective” junk removal. This means those residents have a few oversized items they are eager to get rid of. That could be anything from old sofas to patio furniture to a hot tub. Usually there are a few other odds and ends tossed onto the Junk King to go along with the big item. However, with a real estate cleanup, Junk King can be given the simple instructions to “take it all away.” That’s a job they are happy to comply with. In many ways it’s a lot easier not to be selective with junk!
Not only can a Junk King Gold country crew clean up the interior of a home but they can also make sure all the debris is removed from the yards. This is where you can offer the help of Junk King for those neighborhood properties that might have some “eyesores” piled up on the lawns. You don’t want anything to distract from your sale and offering to clean up someone’s yard without them lifting a finger might be too good to pass up. Let Junk King be your new partner to take your real estate business to the next level of success!
If you were fortunate enough to have grown up in a big home, then you know what wonderful memories can be had in that kind of environment. Big homes tend to be a kind of magnet for family events. Because of all the extra space, this is where the great holiday celebrations occur or even the occasional wedding. However, living in a big home comes with extra burdens. It costs a lot to heat and generate power in a larger house not to mention all the general upkeep. Later in life, when the kids have moved on, that expansive house can end up becoming too much to handle. That’s why many folks in Chico and Gold Country are making the smart move towards downsizing their lives as way of improving their quality of living.
There is a proverbial “green shoot” with regards to financial news in the state of California. That would be in the fact that foreclosures have continued to drop throughout the region. In the Chico area foreclosures decreased during the month of December by around 2%. This makes the Chico foreclosure rates lower than the national average. That’s certainly good news for many residents who have found a way to stay in their homes even in these troubled economic times. But that doesn’t mean that everyone is out of the woods. There are still plenty of foreclosed properties waiting to be scooped up by savvy real estate investors.
