Christmas is a good time to buy a home

This Christmas might be the best time to buy a home for a number of reasons. It’s a time when not too many buyers are in the market, which means that the demand is low. Owners of properties, homes and condos who have listed their homes for sale are generally more motivated towards the end of the year. This makes them amenable to price negotiations and an early closure. Statistically, homes are at an all-time low during the Christmas season.
Perhaps the over-riding consideration is that the first-time homebuyer’s credit is in force till May 1, 2010. There is no guarantee it will be available next Christmas. However homebuyers must remember this credit applies only to homes used as a taxpayer's principal residence.

From the Ohlone to Silicon

The Ohlone were the first recorded residents of the Santa Clara Valley, and lived in Coyote Creek and Calaveras Creek, in 8000 BC. The European presence in California began with the arrival of famed English explorer, Sir Francis Drake, on July 17, 1579. Drake claimed the land for England and after his departure it took 200 years for settlers from any other European country to establish themselves. However, California was soon swarming with the Spanish and the Russians.

The county acquired its current name in 1777, when Father Junípero Serra came to California in order to establish a chain of Franciscan missions. He named the valley “Clare” or “Clara” meaning “clear”, and the land extended from present-day Palo Alto to Gilroy. San Jose was California's first town, founded by nine Spanish soldiers, five settlers and one cowboy, on orders from the Spanish viceroy of Mexico on November 29, 1777, and named after St. Joseph.

The Santa Clara Valley, more popularly known as the Silicon Valley, has since grown from the small township it was in 1777, to the massive, industrialised tract of land it is today. If you are interested in acquiring real estate in Silicon Valley, contact Dale Warfel.

Living in the valley

The Silicon Valley, so named because of its flourishing semiconductor industry, is located in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, California. Once fondly nicknamed the Valley of Heart’s Delights, because of the sprawling orchards that encompassed the Santa Clara Valley and other neighbourhoods, the area has now come to be synonymous with the dot-com boom that America experienced in the 20th century.

The term “Silicon” refers to the computer chip industry among other high tech industries, while “Valley” comes from the Santa Clara Valley in which most of the industries are based. The 20th century has seen an immense growth in real estate throughout America, more so in the Silicon Valley, due to the presence of high technology companies that require office and showroom space. However, fears of a U.S. recession have pulled the prices down, and the time is ripe to enter the real estate sector.

Investing in Silicon Valley real estate properties is a lucrative option, and Dale Warfel is the best real estate advisor when it comes to the Santa Clara Valley. Ten years of working with Keller Williams Realty has taught him the nitty-grittys of the trade, and his technical knowledge and communication skills are remarkable.

A great place to settle down in

San Jose is the tenth largest city in America and also the hub of activity in the Silicon Valley. However, in the race to keep up with the leading cities of the world in terms of growth and development, the quiet city has not compromised on the beauty and serenity for which it is so famed. San Jose is dotted with enchanting parks and boulevards, but perhaps the most green and beautiful locality is Rose Garden, built around the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden.

The San Jose Municipal Rose Garden is situated in 5.5 acres of what was once a beautiful prune orchard, and is now dedicated to roses. Today, the garden boasts of over 4,000 species of rose shrubs and 189 varieties, including hybrids. Tourists and visitors frequent the world-renowned garden throughout the year, although May is the season in which the roses are at their best, in terms of both fragrance and beauty. What is more is that the San Jose authorities even permit weddings to be held in these delightful parks, so long as certain rules and regulations regarding the cleanliness of the area are adhered to. San Jose is a great place to live in. Dogs are not allowed in such parks, but dog-lovers should have no reason to protest, as the city offers many specialized dog parks which have facilities specific to their doggy needs.

All in all, San Jose, and especially Rose Garden, is a very pleasant place to live, and it is no wonder that the real estate prices in California are rather high. However, never fear, Dale Warfel is here to guide you through the entire process should you wish to purchase homes in San Jose.

The ultimate investment

With the US heading into a recession, and the stock markets already reacting adversely to this, it is no wonder that most investors are turning to real estate to park their money for a while. The advantages of investing in real estate are many, so much so, that it is often regarded as the “ultimate investment”. One of the most useful tips that a potential investor in real estate will ever get is to never overpay. Careful negotiation and good communication skills are essential in striking a successful deal, because it is when buying and not when selling that the real profit is made. The lower the price at which you can get your hands on the property, the higher are your chances of making big money when it is time to sell.

Begin with the end in mind. Although the value of the property may almost certainly appreciate over a span of, say 15 years, the value of the same property may drop drastically in a shorter time period of, say 5 years. In this case, it would be prudent to consider making additions or renovations to the house to increase its value, which is why knowing exactly how you are going to treat the investment, is so integral to its success.
