Rancho San Rafael Real Estate Blog: Home for Sale in Rancho San Rafael

From Rose Linda Gonzales, your Neighborhood Realtor®

Welcome to our neighborhood blog! As everyone already knows, the market was quite different last year: The changes in the subprime market had a tremendous impact in the industry. It seems like that was the peak of callousness in the way lending was structured and doled out. Apparently, as we now see in the predominant sales activities in various areas, that is not the peak, but the beginning of a challenging, real estate ride.

Secondly, time and time again, the contribution of the web in all walks of life is a now-reality: To effectively reach an audience in keyboard-speed is quite easily the norm. In early 2008, almost 80% of the home buyers come from the internet. They google, research, go to a lot of websites, before they actually connect with an agent. This is powerful information, not just to any real estate agent, but also to anyone remotely interested in homeownership. Come to think of it, with gas price being a major commodity these days, it is penny-wise to sit and relax in front of your pc and google away for relative information.

I guess this is where I come in, mid-way or all the way through. My purpose here is to gather some significant info in our local neighborhood and in our surrounding areas that may or may not directly affect our daily living in our own homes. Please feel free to let me know your thoughts. It will be our way of getting involved in our community.

Your Realtor and Neighbor,

Rose Linda
