PRUDENTIAL REALTY
market value, or slightly higher, when the right home for you comes on the market. I highly recommend working with a buyer’s agent to fully represent your best interests.
Multiple Offers are Here
My advice on value is to not get too focused on the listing price. Unlike a retail store, the asking price is not always representative of the value of the home or even what price the owner is necessarily looking for. This may apply to bank owned, short sale and even investor flips, which may be under priced, possibly to garner multiple offers and drive the price up through a “bidding war�. However they can also be overpriced for a variety of reasons. I have also seen the use of marketing auctions on occasion whereby the home is listed at a very low starting price to generate interest. However, they traditionally have a reserve price which is a secret minimum price that needs to be met by the bidders before the seller is obligated to accept an offer. This reserve price is usually at or above fair market value.
Since around the February 2012 thaw, buyers confidence appears to have increased and the housing market has been heating up. This, coupled with very low inventory of homes for sale, has produced a hot market for sellers. Listings that are priced reasonably and are in relative good condition are seeing multiple offers. Homes that are turn key such as investor flips or equity sales have had over 60 offers. So what is a buyer to do? Step one is get educated on the market, the payment and loan you are comfortable with and thereby know what your top price is. It is very important that when opportunity knocks you are ready to open the door. Start shopping for a home now. Search the internet, work with an agent to start touring homes so you become familiar with the market and are prepared to offer
So what is a buyer to do? First of all do not give up hope. Next, keep watch
and when a home that fits your needs becomes available, jump on it! Make an offer based on the value of the home to you. Focus on your needs and remember prices are at historic lows so the potential for equity in the long run is great. If you look at a few thousand dollars difference over 30 years it may put it in perspective. Keep your offer clean; consider making the offer “as-is�. This does not mean you waive your rights of inspections, it simply represents that you do not expect the seller to perform any repairs, which will tend to make your offer more desirable than a buyer that may ask for repairs. In my experience, when it is meant to be it will happen. Call today to get started. As always, feel free to contact me for more information.

REMEMBER TO ALWAYS...
BUCKLE UP! One of the most important, immediate actions we can take as a nation to protect children and adults in motor vehicles is high-visibility enforcement of seat belt and child passenger safety laws. The American public knows they should buckle up. Despite this awareness, research shows that many are not taking the necessary steps to protect themselves and their children on every ride. We know that enforcing the law is the most effective way to change this behavior. That is why the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Air Bag & Seat Belt Safety Campaign launch the Click It or Ticket Mobilization, a high visibility enforcement campaign that targets motorists who fail to buckle themselves and their children. 22

WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?
Due to the reconstruction of the new Civic Center, Cornfest organizers had to find a temporary home for the annual event. Last year, it was located on the corner of Sand Creek and Brentwood Blvd. and this year, much to my approval (and everyone else I talked to), it was nestled between Jack in the Box and Hampton Inn on Brentwood Blvd. Watching it all come to life one week before showtime, I couldn’t help but appreciate ALL of the organization behind facilitating such a huge event.
This new experience of snooping my annual tradition was odd, but I really enjoyed looking through new eyes to tell our readers about my journey. I have to say it was so well laid out, I knew exactly where I was going and what I wanted to see. With plenty of shade in all the right areas, it was easy to stop for a cold beer from one of the local non-profit beer booths or grab my annual corndog with extra mustard. From the volunteers in the beer booth to those gathering garbage, everyone was extremely pleasant and certainly sent the right message to Cornfest guests. I really liked how they strategically placed the two band locations. From the City of Brentwood’s big stage at the entrance, a local live band brought inviting sounds to all that entered the gates and by the time you got to the other end, the concert stage showcased a big name band with plenty of seating and a great dance floor.
From the children’s area to my favorite stop at Co Co’s Wine booth pouring my favorite Tamayo Malbec, I spent a good hour just snooping. The carnival was huge with kids running in every direction to go on the rides and vendor alley had wonderful vendors, both informative and lots of cool stuff to buy. But my favorite was the wonderful display and booths from the Historic Society. It was an excellent representation of the local farming industry with old and new tractors and volunteers dressed in historic clothing. As I finished my rounds, my last stop was to get a glimpse of the corn husking contest to beat the world record for the most huskers. This, the magnificent fireworks display and my annual hot roasted corn made my day a memorable one. So, to all who worked, to all who came and especially all who organized, this secret shopper gives you ten ears of buttery sweet corn for keeping the tradition of food, family and fun at this wonderful civic celebration. Who will be snooped next? It could be you!

AUTO
As the smoke from the East County skies settles into the night from the 4th of July fireworks shows in the surrounding cities, the residents of Brentwood know the best is yet to come. Celebrating twenty years, the famous Brentwood Chamber of Commerce Cornfest, showcasing the world famous Brentwood Sweet Corn, has once again wowed its guests. On assignment, I put on my walking shoes and made my way to the gates to buy my annual ticket.
The parking was a breeze, and you had many choices. Once I reached the gates, buying my ticket was a snap and once through the gates, I handed by wristband to a nice gentleman who placed it properly on my wrist and another waiting to cut the tab and hand me my official program. Nice touch, Chamber!
