Exciting news for Preferred Home Brokers…yes, one of the oldest independent real estate brokerages in Orange County is eager to announce our WE’RE MOVING!
That’s right, we’re about to have a NEW LOCATION! We’re moving to 3230 E. Imperial Hwy. and in the beautiful city of Brea. More importantly, we’re on the western side of the Land of Gracious Living in Yorba Linda and right next door to Placentia, a great place to call home!
Good new, we still have the same phone number, 714 595-1494
Who says there’s no FREE lunch? Maybe true, yet YOU will find free admission to the Richard M. Nixon Presidental Library in beautiful Yorba Linda, Ca.
That’s right, celebrate President’s Day 2/15/2010 with FREE admission to the library!
So round up the kids or just head over there yourself on Monday, President’s Day, the first 100 in attendance will receive a complimentary cherry pie!
The museum is located in beautiful Yorba Linda, CA in northern Orange County. Yorba Linda was the birthplace of Richard M. Nixon and is now the final resting place of the President and First Lady. Click here for the location and directions to the museum.
These photos are ones I took on a recent visit last December. We attuned a special exhibit of “trains” that the kids absolutely loved.
Marine One, on the left is open for interior viewing as you walk though with a docent. Our docent that day explained to the kids how the helicopter was also used by four presidents, including Kennedy, Johnson and Ford.
Presidential libraries are of huge interest to me, yet I’ve only seen a few of them myself.
If you have the opportunity to pay a visit to Southern California, we’re fortunate enough to have two of them, this one in Yorba Linda and the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, CA.
You can also text or call me direct, (714) 595-1494.

La Habra Home Sales ~ Real Estate Market Update
4th Quarter Closings City of La Habra for 2009 vs. 2008:
Not all type of sales are the same:
2009 ~ 130 Total Closings~ 43% Standard Sales ~ 26% Bank Repos ~ 20% Short Sales ~ 11% Other
2008 ~ 154 Total Closing ~ 29% Standard sales ~ 41 % Bank Repos 19% Short Sales ~ 11% Other
In analyzing the info I think the numbers reflect several things:
(1) Sales for the first half of 2009 were at a record low, while sales at year-end increased dramatically, largely in anticipation of the expiration of the first-time home buyer credit.
(2) Bank repos sales were lower in 2009 vs. 2008 for several reasons, goverment imposed foreclosure moratorium, both federally and state, the Obama Work Out Plan in hopes of doing loan modification for home owners, and in my opinion, many lenders not wanting to add to the massive wave of foreclosures on their books.
If you’re looking to buy a home or sell a home in La Habra, contact me, direct or text 714 595-1494.
