High End Mixed Use Developments Are The Future Of Los Angeles Real Estate
I am beginning a series of blogs about some of the new up and coming high end mixed use developments that are beginning to pepper the Los Angeles Real Estate market. The first of which is The Glen At Valley Glen, along Victory Blvd in between Coldwater Canyon and Woodman Ave. I am separating each blog so that the specifics are a self contained unit. Feel free to contact me with your own requests for profiling a future and/or current development. Or send me what info you have, and I will fill in the blanks! The Glen At Valley Glen Much of the info is specific to this development, but this is also a place to discuss general trends of mixed use developments.

Cross Boarder Blogging Makes Good Pizza?
I am in the discovery phase of building a wood burning pizza oven at my home. I found a site that offers instructions on how to build them. After contacting the owner, he requested that I write an article for him. Check it out: How Eating Pizza With Your Friends... Can Sell Your Home Faster and For More Money?!!?
When the oven is done, we can eat some of the best pizzas around after we finish your transaction.

What Buyers Need To Know About Buying Los Angeles Real Estate Today

From San Diego to Los Angeles, Real Estate is moving fast. All of the negative press has mislead buyers. They are very surprised to find out that purchasing a home in Los Angeles at what is now a fair price is harder than they expected.
Buyers need to be prepared to:
1) Write multiple offers
2) Be realistic about the price they can pay
3) Not hold out for the "perfect" home at the "perfect" price
4) Monitor the market with automatic email updates
5) Do not hesitate to write an offer
6) Make themselves available to sign and return paperwork promptly
7) Possibly write offers above the asking price
8) Meet the banks terms, "take it or leave it, no repairs, buyer beware"
The people who can get loans now-a-days expect to find the home they want, make an offer, and get it accepted. This is just not how it is happening! Because the buyers have heard so much negative things, they think that no one is buying. What is really happening is that some homes that are priced poorly sit on the market for months or even over a year. But the homes that are priced right get multiple offers, 10, 20, or 50 depending on the condition of the property and the asking price.
Much of the Los Angeles Real Estate market is priced to sell now. That means that within the first week, the home will be sold at or above asking price. Many, many people firmly believe that the market will start turning back up very soon. I am a believer! Are you?

If You Live in the UK, You Should Be Buying Real Estate In Los Angeles and California
For the past six months, investors from the UK have been contacting me about buying in Los Angeles. It makes sense: People from the UK can come to the states and double their money because of the extremely favorable exchange rates.
There are also cultural factors that contribute to the people in the UK understanding the benefits of owning Real Estate. If I lived on an island and was part of a culture with a long history, it would be very clear to me who the economic winners of the world are (hint: they all own real estate as their primary long term investment vehicle).
I have noticed that many of the people from the UK and other foreign countries have a lack of knowledge about the regulations and restrictions about who can own Real Estate in the USA. The answer: ANYONE can own Real Estate in the USA without restriction or applications or any other hindrance to the ownership and legal use of the property.
People who do not have a credit history in the USA will have to put a 30% down payment up to get a mortgage. But hey, when you are doubling your money that may as well be 15%! So for you investors with long term aspirations of owning many properties in the USA, start your credit history today! Talk to Katy Lin about credit, loans, and all the specifics at: (949) 981-2256
Take a look at my six month history for my web site, http://RealVana.com . The number of visits from the top ten countries are listed below. Traffic from the UK outnumbers the traffic from both the USA and Canada combined!
Also, we are always looking for more Realtors to join my site at RealVana.com . We are currently in the development stages, but would be happy to add your MLS listings to the site. If your territory is a different state than California, call me @ (818) 726-5982. The first to reserve a territory gets it locked in.
