Beware of Foreclosure Scams and Check Points being set up for Holiday Drunk Driving
Foreclosure scams on the rise
The Neighborhood Housing Services of Orange County, which partners with the City's Family Resource Center, is warning residents to beware of foreclosure scams and to report illegal activity to authorities.
Loan modification scams are proliferating at a rapid pace. Every day, scam artists prey on unsuspecting homeowners who are facing foreclosure in Orange County, according to the organization.
There are six things residents should beware of:
1) A company/person asks for a fee in advance to work with your
lender to modify, refinance or reinstate your mortgage. They may pocket
your money and do little or nothing to help you save your home from
foreclosure.
2) A company/person guarantees they can stop a foreclosure or get
your loan modified. Nobody can make this guarantee to stop foreclosure
or modify your loan. Legitimate, trustworthy HUD-approved counseling
agencies will only promise they will try their very best to help you.
3) A company/person advises you to stop paying your mortgage
company and pay them instead. Despite what a scammer will tell you, you
should never send a mortgage payment to anyone other than your mortgage
lender. The minute you have trouble making your monthly payment, contact
your mortgage lender.
4) A company pressures you to sign over the deed to your home or
sign any paperwork that you haven't had a chance to read, and you don't
fully understand. A legitimate housing counselor would never pressure
you to sign a document before you had a chance to read and understand
it.
5) A company claims to offer "government-approved" or "official
government" loan modifications. They may be a scam artist posing as
legitimate organizations approved by or affiliated with the
government. Contact your mortgage lender first. Your lender can tell you
whether you qualify for any government programs to prevent foreclosure.
Remember that you do not have to pay to benefit from government-backed
loan modification programs.
6) A company/person you don't know asks you to release personal
financial information online or over the phone. You should only give
this type of information to companies that you know and trust, like your
mortgage lender or a HUD-approved counseling agency.
The mission of Neighborhood Housing Services of Orange County is to develop and finance affordable housing and strengthen neighborhoods in partnerships with residents, local government, financial institutions and the business community.

Law enforcement out in force this holiday season
As party-goers celebrate the holidays with friends and family, they should heed the "Avoid the 38 DUI Task Force" warning to keep the party off the road or be ready to face the consequences. Law enforcement from every county agency are out in force through the New Year's weekend cracking down on anyone caught drunk behind the wheel.
DUI driver's license checkpoints, Multi-Agency DUI Task Force deployments and local roving DUI patrols are scheduled during the winter holidays.
"The dangers of drinking and driving have been known for many years and the vast majority of people recognize that when they consume alcoholic beverages, they put others at risk if they drive," said Sheriff Sandra Hutchens. "Sadly, a small minority of the public continues to drive under the influence and they threaten the lives of the rest of us on the road."
During last years' more than 2-week Winter Holiday Campaign, 36 people were killed in crashes statewide with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher and another 1,168 were injured in alcohol-involved wrecks. In Orange County during that same time period, there were 172 alcohol-related collisions. One person was killed and another 78 people were injured.
According to the Orange County Sheriff's Department, 121 people were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs over this past weekend, preliminary numbers show.
The public should remember these simple tips for a safe holiday season:
Plan a safe way home before the festivities begin;
Before drinking, designate a sober driver;
If you're impaired, use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation;
If you happen to see a drunk driver on the road, don't hesitate to contact your local law enforcement;
And remember, Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk. If you know someone who is about to drive or ride while impaired, take their keys and help them make other arrangements to get to where they are going safely.
Funding for this operation is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Market Update Oct 8 thru Nov 8 , 2010
WE have 271 current Active Listings on the Market. Out of the 271 there are 129 normal sales and the rest are shortsales or foreclosed properites.
We have 157 condos and homes in ESCROW. Out of 157, 29 of those are normal sales, not shortsales or foreclosed.
We closed 43 Sales in this same time period.
The interesting thing about this market is that Rates are so low and prices have been down for so long, that if you are even thinking of purchasing a home, now is the time! It is also a good time to scale down or move up by selling what you have and buying something bigger for a lot less than what you would have paid a few years ago.

Community members are invited to lace up their tennis shoes, grab some bottled water and join City staff members Monday, July 19 for a walk around Aliso Viejo's Town Center Loop Trail.

The program, which kicked off earlier this month, is from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. July 19 and July 26.

Free Shredding Event on May 6th
Please take advantage of this event by bringing your documents for shredding. I took advantage of it in Laguna Niguel and there were police watching to be sure every document and box was loaded into the shredder. It is a great way to start your spring cleaning!
This event will take place at the AV Golf Course, read below for more details.
Public invited to free "Shred Day" May 8
In an effort to protect residents from identity theft and provide a free public service, the City will host a document shredding and identity theft protection event on Saturday, May 8.
The City is giving community members an opportunity to have their sensitive records securely destroyed from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the parking lot of the Aliso Viejo Conference Center, 31 Santa Barbara.
Identity theft is one of the fastest-growing crimes in the nation, and shredding documents with personal or financial information can be an effective measure of prevention.
Residents and businesses can bring up to 10 standard-file boxes of paper records - canceled checks, pay stubs, credit card statements and more - that will be shredded on-site for free. The boxes of pages can contain staples and paper clips but must be free of notebooks or other bindings. Staff will also be on hand to answer questions and provide information about identity theft.
The Aliso Viejo Conference Center is located next to the Aliso Viejo Aquatic Center, which opens to the public for a second spectacular season on May 1. The facilities are located off Glenwood at Golf Drive between Moulton Parkway and Aliso Creek Road. Information: www.cityofalisoviejo.com.
For more information about the May 8 event, contact Aliso Viejo City Clerk Susan Ramos at 949-425-2506 or sramos@cityofalisoviejo.com.

The Aliso Viejo Pool will open soon!
The operating season and daily hours for the Aliso Viejo Aquatic Center will be extended beginning in May.
The new season – May 1 to Sept. 30 – adds six weekends. Weekday hours will be shortened and weekend hours will be extended. The changes – based on suggestions from the public and a review of 2009 attendance logs – were approved this week by the City Council.
The city also will offer season passes for adults, $150, and children, $90. Monthly passes are $50 for adults and $30 for children.
The aquatic center first opened in 2009. The facility includes a 25-meter pool, recreation pool, splash pad and toddler wading pool. The center offers fee-based swimming programs, activities, and party rentals.
The council also approved $8,300 to promote the aquatic center among residents and visitors. Nearly half the money will be spent on special holiday events at the pool and on two family events.
There are plans to advertise the center on the city's Web site, and in e-mail blasts, the community calendar and community directories. Fliers will be distributed at special events.
The estimated operating cost for the pool is $173,600, according to a staff report.
The Aquatic Center is at Aliso Creek Road and Glenwood Drive next to the Aliso Viejo Conference Center.

Open House at 12 Goldenrain on Sunday
.jpg)
Larry and I help Goldenrain open from 1 to 4 yesterday and we had at least 30 groups of people through the home. They came with agents and followed the signs in. This particular home is a short sale in a great neighborhood called Carmel. I was not suprised to see the amount of people that showed up, because this size home is and always will be very popular with move up or move down buyers. It has 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths and a small pool.

205 in Back up and Pending Status
And we closed 47 sales from 2/1/2010 to 3/1/2010
We only have 2.46 months of inventory left.
This will drive prices up eventually if inventory doesn't increase.

Have you thought about putting a home warranty on your present home?
There are several companies that sell these. It is customary to have one for the first year of your new home purchase. However, once your home ages and things start to break, it's not a bad idea to put one on it. For example, a new air contitioner can cost you 2,000 plus but with a home warranty, it will be only the cost of the year's coverage and a service call. It's really a good idea to look into it.
Here is the website of one of the companies that I really like.

Want to search the Orange County Property Tax Site?
This is a great site to check on Property Taxes for any address in Orange County. You can also find mello roos info by opening up a particular address's info and then scroll down to the " Details Link"
There you will find the exact mello roos on the property. Contrary to what many people think or say, mello roos in not a percentage of anything. It was based soley on square footage and can be higher or lower depending on what portion of the bond, if any, was paid by the builder. So this is the best way to get this information. Or of course, your Realtor should be able to guide you on this. I always pull up this information for my clients.
It also shows if tax payments are paid or late and any fines that are due. It does not release homeowner's information. It goes by address or APN number only.
Go to http://www.ttc.ocgov.com/tcweb/search_page.asp

Aliso Viejo Inventory Report 2/22/2010
Good Morning.
Today we have 124 ACTIVE LISTINGS
197 in BACKUP AND PENDING STATUS
and in the time period of 1.22.2010 to 2.22.2010 we closed 55 SALES.
So our INVENTORY is officially at 2.25 Months... which is low and makes for a better market for sellers than buyers at this time. Espeically if the sellers happen to be equity sellers which is about 40+ percent of our market. The rest are shortsales and foreclosed properties.
If you don't believe the market has shifted gears, keep watching these weekly reports.

Here are some photos of our California landscapes around town, some examples of our natural areas and one of my favorite condos that have the nicest flowers at all times of the year.

We had been missing that. Last year we finally got one in our Lowe's shopping center known as "THE COMMONS" We also have one of the fanciest Taco Bell fast food around. It was actually torn down and replaced at a different location in the shopping center to make room for Walgreens,Trader Joes and a few other stores and restaurants.

Inventory information as of February 18, 2010
It's very important to watch the inventory and sales for each month to see where the market is going.
I have seen inventory in Aliso Viejo as low as 35 total active properties to as high as 500 active properties. ( these numbers always include condos and Single family residences)
Today we have a total of 134 ACTIVES
194 PENDINGS and Accepting BACK UP OFFERS
Since January 1 of this year, we have had 97 CLOSINGS. So we are selling approx 63 homes a month, which puts us at a little over 2 months of selling inventory. This shows there is lots of buyer interest in our community!
These figures are taken from the Multiple Listing Service. MLS and are particular to the Aliso Viejo Marketplace.

Beautiful Aliso Viejo
Welcome to my blog. I have been living here since 1991 starting out at the Applause community off of Aliso Creek Road. When I first moved here, the town center was just fields.. and sometimes with goats grazing on them believe it or not. It has been great fun to watch the community grow. I started selling Real Estate in 1995 and what better place to work than your own community where you live. I currently work at Star South County Real Estate right here in Town Center close to the movie theaters. I love the natural beauty that Aliso Viejo offers with it's many hills, open space, parks and beautiful views. I hope you find my blog interesting not only as informative about our local Real Estate market conditions, but also about this great town I call home.
