What a gorgeous week so far. It looks like more of the same for the week ahead. We went to the National Poultry Show in Stockton over the weekend. My 12-year old son is an exhibitor. He won best of Class with his Black Australorp. Very exciting. There were over 2000 birds from different parts of the US participating. What a sight to see!
The National Association of Realtors released their statistics for national home sales last week. The second half of 2005 saw a significant decline in home sales nationally. The fourth quarter of last year saw the largest change. The one thing that stands out is that the Woodland and Yolo County area home market is holding up much better than the overall national market. From all indications, the market here is actually beginning to heat up again. This is something that most other parts of the country will be envious about.
If you are thinking about making a move please call. It will surprise you what an area specialist can do to save you thousands in the future. There is a lot of value for you in choosing the Team that has the knowledge, experience, and strong negotiation skills to work in your favor.

The Most Expensive Home of 2006
Daily Real Estate News January 9, 2007The Most Expensive Home of 2006
The most expensive house sold in 2006 was an English-style, 10,000-square-foot Alpine, N.J., mansion with guest cottages, pool, and tennis courts, according to the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing. The price tag for the 63-acre estate five miles from Manhattan: $58 million. Advanced Photonix CEO Richard Kurtz bought this year’s top seller from Henry Clay Frick II. In 2005, the priciest house was an oceanfront estate that sold for $70 million to Ron Perelman of Palm Beach, Fla. The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing estimates — from not-yet-complete data — that 2006 sales of homes priced at $5 million and above were up about 11 percent over 2005. And at least 10 buyers throughout the country were willing to shell out $28 million or more for high-end residences last year. Source: Dow Jones Business News, Amy Hoak (01/08/07)

Great Time for Buyers
What a great time for Buyers to successfully make their dreams come true. The compounded benefits of seller flexibility low mortgage interest rates, Buyers have a wonderful window of opportunity,” he adds. These conditions will likely persist until early spring when inventory supplies are likely to become more balanced.
Don't miss it. Interest rates are expected to go up this year. It is to your benefit to purchase now rather than wait to see "what may happen".

Capay Valley
I find it humorous sometimes when other realtors try to penetrate the Capay Valley Market. Unless you really know what properties have sold for whether they where a property listed with a professional or a for sale by owner, no property is alike and no price is the same. If you have any comments I would love to hear from you!
