On this Page you will learn about homes available in Phelan, Hesperia, Apple Valley, Jess Ranch, Lucrene, Victorville. But First, What gets a Home sold, sold,sold in this Changing Market. Here are a series of Questions. Some of them personal for you and some of them about the nature of the changing market.

 
Getting Your Home sold in record time. Answer a few Questions: If you sold this home where would you go next? How soon do you have to be there? How would you rate your motivation to move on a scale of 1 to 10?
 If you listed with another agent but your home didn't sell: What do you think stopped your home from selling? How did you happen to pick the last agent you listed with? What did that agent do that you liked the best? What do you feel they should have done? What will you expect from the next agent you choose? Have you already chosen an agent to work with?
  When I see you who much do you want to list your home for? 
 Will you position your Home for this changing market? Did you know that the number of agents is reduced? Did you know that marginal agents will leave the business? Did you know that older agents will leave the business? Did you know that the volume of active listings increase in a changing market? Did you know that the days on Market increase? Did you know that foreclosures and REO's increase? Did you know that buyers will demand value(they know what is going on in the market)? Did you know that Consumer's behavior is: more realistic? Personal relationships are more important? Seller's might have to bring money to the table to sell?  Did you know that your agent must have more skill in: Pricing, Negotiation, Creative Financing, Investment understanding, Buget controls?  Did you know when there is a shilft in market luxury homes are in abundance? That Less expensive homes become more desirable? New home sales weaken more than existing home sales? That some builders will leave the business?
Did you know that the best agents survive BECAUSE:
Less competition? Better Pricing Skills? Better work Habits? Offer More Service? Have an action Plan? Do better follow up? Have Better systems in Place?  So your best agent knows that markets are cyclical(not that they are identical but they are predictable). So your best agent knows that new cycles make new rules. Your best agent knows that new rules need new strategies.
KEY: It is actually an advantage to homeowners moving up to sell and buy in a down market.
"Listing price is generally thought to be a major factor in time on the market and studies show that a higher listing price results in a longer time on the market, that houseing liquidity depends on market participants" search effort that is partially determined by listing price, and that it is expensive to overprice a house initially."
(National Association of Realtors)

. What is so Special About 29 Palms?
Have you Taken a drive out to Twentynine Palms lately? I have. What a surprise.

In Victorville were I work we have the remains of the old, closed George air-force base. Yesterday I drove by the military housing. True is has not been maintained for 16 years. But what hit me was the size and quality of the homes. That is the size and quality compared to the housing that I saw in 29 palms for the military. To say the least the homes for our armed services certainly honors them and changes my perspective on what I thought it would be. ( by the way some very ecomonic awesome things are happening with SCLA)



But More, Something else surprised me about 29 palms. I recently downloaded and read the Marine Air Ground Task Force Training Command at 29 Palms 2006 Economic impact statement. ( I did this because I have taken a great ten commercial property listing in 29 Palms) In the report once I read the Mission and the History there are numerous details, so to the point. Between the Military, the civilians dedicated to the Marine base and the construction work going on. There is a payroll in excess of 400 million a year. Wow!

But there is more and this one I haven't verified but my source I believe to be reliable. If you have every driven to twenty-nine Palms and looked at those palms and the water that comes out of the ground at that natural oasis, it might cause you to consider the following: The water Table is about 30 feet, yes 30 feet not 100 or 200 and the water available is measured for 300 to 1000 years. That is the water that is there, not any question of replenishing.

But More, There is a 475,000 plus square foot new super shopping center that is now leasing for anywhere between $1.65 to $2.20 a sq ft. A sign of a bright future.

There is the Mariposa Shopping Center which is reported to be a resturant and will lease at about $1.85 a sq foot. a sign of a bright future.

There is also the story about the local tavern which was purchased for about $200,000 for a building the size of a postage stamp (I don't know if the liquor license was part of the deal) and the town of Twentynine Palms wouldn't let them open because they did not have designated offstreet parking. Mind you they are not land locked, just not able to accomdate parking off street. Special means you had better know what is going on in the local Ordinance. All Real Estate is local.

Have you taken a drive out to twenty-nine Palms lately? There is more than meets the eye. So ask yourself why is Starbucks, Kragen, Rite Aid, and Walgreens building in 29 Palms? They don't make mistakes with locations of their business. Seemingly a smallish town on the often called backside of things is starting to wake up. Well come to the new Starbucks when it opens and smell the coffee. Opportunity is knocking in 29 palms.

Where I live and mostly work in Apple Valley, Victorville, Hesperia, Adelanto our market is so different from 29 Palms and it too offers great real estate investment and living opportunities. I am grateful to have a listing in 29 palms. If you are curious look on the Victor Valley Assocaition of Realtors or on Loopnet. Thanks Hope you found this blog interesting

ARE YOU IN THE ZONE?

Zoning, Apple Valley and random thoughts
From the very start, I will confess some real ignorance at the issue of zoning. Don't get me wrong, I understand that every town, like Apple Valley, Hesperia, Victorville should/must have a master plan. I know that the primary purpose of the current zoning map and future zoning map as part of a master plan protray the planning commissioners concern for seismic issues, streets, highways, easements, height restrictions,districts and the quality of living with buffer zones parks, and medical and shopping issues. What I am curious about concerning Apple Valley is the direction of the Growth. Where is the better potential for increased value of property?

Every investor, is or becomes an expert at the issue of the zoning map. Even a person who just flips property,who by nature of flipping is more a speculator than an investor wants to know and understand the zoning map.

Here are some of my zoning map questions. How do you judge the potential future of Apple Valley since we do not have a future zoning map. Does it help to say that the whole and entire of Apple Valley is in redevelopement? (in my mind that is like cleaning and waxing and washing the inside and outside of a car all at the same time-Should there be more focus?)

In These questions, I am not trying to bring into criticism the current Mayor Rick Roelle or the town council of Apple Valley. I have a simple and particular interest in zoning. Condo Conversion. On the books/records of Apple Valley since 1988 when it was incorporated there has not been one condo conversion. With the prices of home ownership going up and up. It is obvious that affordable housing for entry level, first time buyers is going to be even more scarce. While much of the High Desert is the last real affordable hope for many buyers, Condo's and condo conversion is a real opportunity for meeting need and renovated areas of Apple Valley. Could Spot zoning be used in several small areas to pin point condo conversions that would not adversely affect and in fact might benefit the area? Pride of ownership is still a main reason for caring for the property you dwell in. Incorporated in 1988 and no condo conversions. Am I seeing a possible Gold Mine? If you taken the time to read this and you are an investor and you need someone who has an interest----All the Best
When I first plublished this article, I recieved an email response from the current mayor of Apple Valley Rick Roelle. He provided me with his cell phone number and an offer to talk about a mutual concern for certain areas of Apple Valley.
All the Best. Val
