2010 Hot Real Estate Deals!

A lot of my buyers interested in newer homes are being lured by the prices of Fresno homes along the Highway 99 corridor. New communities sprang up along the 99 during the housing boom of 2005 and 2006 and now with so many homeowners defaulting on their loans, there are some excellent buys in the area.
Clovis vs. West Fresno Foreclosures:
This past month there were 22 homes sold in 93722 and 93723 that were built in 2000 or sooner. 21 of those 22 homes were foreclosures or short sales with the only remaining house being brand new.
A similar number of homes were sold in the newer areas of Clovis (93619, 93730) yet the ratios and prices are quite different. Out of 20 homes sold, 9 were foreclosures or short sales, 4 new construction and 7 traditional sales.
For those that are open to expanding their search area to find the best deals, the 93722 and 93723 zip codes are a must see. A much higher ratio of discounted homes (foreclosures and short sales) are available in the Highway 99.
Clovis vs. West Fresno Pricing:
The same floorplans can often be purchased near Highway 99 for around $40 less per square foot. In 2009, the average selling price per square foot was only $99 in west Fresno (93722, 93723) compared to $143 in Clovis (93619, 93730). On a 2,000 square foot house that is a difference of a whopping $80,000!

Aubrey Rose – Turning 2! Look How She Grew!
There was plenty of green to be seen on St. Patrick’s 
Day this year! Our little Aubrey Rose celebrated her second birthday in style! She and her friends bounced their way through the evening at Clovis’ “Pump it Up!”
It’s been a blessing to see that little personality take shape and blossom during the past two years. Aubrey loves animals. Favorites include feeding the ducks (“quack, quacks”), searching for the elusive bunny that wanders into the yard (“hop hops”) and especially visiting her Aunt Blair’s horse (“neigh”)! She actually mastered most pet names before she learned to say our family’s!
She is fearless with any slide or swing that she encounters and is constantly on the move. Apparently she got some of the tall genes from her daddy because that girl’s already wearing some clothing for four year olds! We are enjoying every minute of watching this little girl grow!
