A Fabulous Place To Find Southern California School and Demographic Information

A Fabulous Place To Find Southern California School and Demographic Information

Okay, so I was reading a blog today on the world-famous Active Rain.  Robert Farrell of New York posted a blog and included this amazing website called Zip Skinny.  It's where you go to get "the skinny" on a certain area.

Now, there have been many other sites I have visited for the best information on demographics of a certain area or school information and test scores.  (Many people want to check this information out before they move into an area, especially if they have kids.) , I have referred others in the past, but this website is amazing!  You simply put in the zip code and it gives you so much information. And if you are not sure about the zip code, or want information on a city with more than one zip, you simply click on the state and then click on the city.  

One thing I did discover by clicking on Glendora, California is that it only gave me one of the two zip codes.  So it may be better to know which zips you are thinking of moving into beforehand.  Of course, if you are using a great Realtor, they send you listings complete with zip codes!

Zip Skinny gives you much more than school information.  It gives you social indicators such as levels of education, how many housing units in a city and the size of the city in sq miles.  It has economic indicators, race indicators, male vs female and even the average age.  There are even tabs with charts and comparisons to other nearby zip codes.  Very useful when thinking of moving to a certain place.

So if you are thinking of moving into my area of Southern California, please don't hesitate to contact me for more local information and listings.  I will be more than happy to answer any questions and get you on the right path to home ownership!

La Verne Real Estate Market Watch - April 18-24, 2012

La Verne Real Estate Market Watch - April 18-24, 2012

Market Watch New Listing (14)   Price Change (6)   Back On Market (4)   Backup Offer (7)   Expired (1)   Pending (10)   Sold (4)

 

Okay, so here are La Verne Real Estate Market statistics for this week - and they seem to be shooting up!

This week there are 14 new listings in the city.  Four sold this week in La Verne, and that number seems to be holding steady.  Ten went into escrow which means that in approximately 30-60 days we should have 10 more that sold.  Looks like the La Verne Real Estate Market is starting to move and shake. 

Four homes were also placed back on the market and seven have moved into back up status.  Usually the homes that go back on the market are homes where the buyer has either had to wait too long and backed out of the deal, or can't get the loan they need to complete the purchase.  The banks have been working on the timing part and the new procedures are actually starting to have an affect on home sales.  Short sales vs foreclosures are moving toward short sale now!

This week there were six price changes.  Really, that's not a lot when you consider that there are ten pending homes!  Before, a lot of the price changing could be blamed on the banks changing their prices and taking such a long time that the prices were dropping before they were sold.  Now it's just that the agent has to price it right from the start to get it sold!

I try to stay on top of the communities I serve and be a local expert for all of them.  So if you are interested in buying or selling a home, or if you simply have real estate questions, please feel free to contact me.  I will be more than happy to assist you!
