FAQs: What is the California foreclosure timeline or process?

Q: What is the timeline for the foreclosure process in California? When does the process start and end?

Asked by an anonymous web visitor in East Sacramento

A: This is a question I get asked a lot by both people who are experiencing a financial hardship as well as those interested in investing in preforeclosures and who want to know what the foreclosure process looks like.

Rather than a lengthy written answer, I wanted to share a video I found online from a company that assists home owners and REALTORS® with the short sale process. Take a look:

FAQs: What is Median Sales Price?

Q: What is "median sales price"? Why did the median price spike in Sierra Oaks in the middle of 2006?

Asked by Kelsey, a home buyer in the Arden area

A: Your question strikes at the heart of so many people's questions about home values, Kelsey.

The median resale price (sometimes called "median price" or "median home price") refers to the price at which half of all homes (in a given area for a certain time period) sold for more and half sold for less. If the sampling of sales isn't large enough—say for instance it's for a small geographic area or short time period—then that number can be skewed by a couple properties and may vary dramatically from period to period.

In May of 2006, Sierra Oaks (95864) had an unusually high number of homes selling for over $1 Million. While million-dollar homes aren't unusual in the area, there were four homes that sold in that price range in one month compared to the 1-3 that sold other months.

If you look at a larger area or longer period, you'll get a truer picture of things--but median resale price is an imperfect number and is a "snapshot" of what types of homes are selling at any given time, not necessarily of actual home values. This is why Sacramento's median resale price has dropped dramatically in the last several months as real estate investors and first-time homebuyers have flooded the market but the number of move-up buyers has been low (note: foreclosures and short sales don't fuel the move-up market because banks don't buy a property after selling and short-sellers are typically exiting the ownership market).

May 8th: Sacramento Green Home Expo (and a friendly mention)

Green Home Expo opens in Sacramento May 8th

Okay, so maybe you don't think of the North State Building Industry Association as a bunch of party people (and you obviously don't know them very well if that's the case), but they know how to put on a good (trade) show. This Thursday, May 8th, is the Green Home Expo at the Sacramento Convention Center. It's an all-day event with free trade show admission, and you can expect to see some of the latest green home tech. If you're thinking about starting a remodel or you just want to know more about the latest energy efficient, eco-friendly products for the home then check out the expo (and there are some really cool workshops being offered for a very reasonable price). You can find out more by clicking on the banner below.

The BIA's Green Home Expo opens in Sacramento on May 8th, 2008PS - The convention center is an awfully big place to heat and cool. Maybe they'll open the windows. ;-) PPS - While you'll find a lot of groovy home products at the expo, you probably won't find an actual home. If you're looking for an eco-friendly home in the Davis area, please get in touch with me!

Being a Green Nugget

Oh, and while I'm not in it for the glory, it's always nice to get a friendly mention from people who always have their "green" thinking caps on (made from organic cotton, of course)—and Levi Benkert and the awesome eco-urbanists at LJUrban are among the greenthinkiest (consider the term officially coined) people I know of locally. What's not to love about people whose aspirations are to dream big, live small, and do good?
