San Gabriel Valley Residents,

Your Glendora Realtor, Zak Bushey, would like to spread the word about a Shelter Pet Adoption Day this Saturday, April 24th in Glendora! It is sponsored by the Glendora Chamber of Commerce Business and Community Expo.

As you may or may not know, community animal shelters are overcrowded. They are putting animals down at an alarming rate.  So these off site pet adoptions are important.  We would love to teach the community to adopt from our local shelters and the importance of Spaying/ Neutering.  The answer to this sad problem is taking responsibility and educating the community.  

The good news is this is their chance to find their forever family.  

The price is right.  

Cats- -$95

Dogs-$125

Cost includes Vaccinations, Microchip, Spay/Neuter, A Free vet Exam and Licensing

With warm regards,

Veronica Ferrantelli

Pizza in Glendora CA

Domenico’s Jr. is a pizza place new to Glendora, but not new to the San Gabriel Valley. We are thrilled that they have opened a location to serve Glendora after running the restaurant in Monrovia for many years. The new location is right in downtown Glendora.

To those of you who have not stopped in yet, what are you waiting for? Not only is their Pizza fantastic, but their entire menu of Italian Food is amazing. The prices are very affordable compared to other Italian Restaurants in Glendora, San Dimas and Covina. I would recommend everyone try them at least once, you’ll be hooked after that.

Happy Hour

Glendora, San Dimas, Covina and any other local cities have a new nearby favorite. ClubHouse66 is a new restaurant in Glendora right on Route 66. Myself along with many residents of Glendora have been hooked on the great food and terrific service that this Restaurant and Bar has to offer.

The Happy Hour prices are a great way to enjoy fine dining and great drinks while remaining on a budget in these tough times. The staff is always friendly and you are bound to see friends and neighbors anytime you go.

So on behalf of Clubhouse 66, please come in and give this place a try. I would recommend dinner, but the happy hour is hard to beat!

Glendora,

As the rates come down to historic lows, their are some misconceptions floating around. These low interest rates, which are in the 4% range make sense for many borrowers but not all.

I have recently received a sworm of calls from past clients as well as referrals. Many of these homeowners are currently in the 5.5%-6% range. Their question is simple, how much will I save by refinancing to get to these lower rates?

The answer is varied depending on many factors. These include how long you have been in the current loan, how much the loan amount is for, are you getting cash out and how long you would plan on owning the home. These matter because of closing costs associated with doing a refinance. Even though you plan on lowering the overall interest rate, you must take into consideration the loan amount being higher with closing costs factored in.

For people with mortgages less than $200,000, any interest savings will most likely be a wash with the closing costs. So, the answer is simple, the more you owe on your mortgage, the better chance you have of saving with a lower interest rate. Call Clearview Mortgage and we can help you determine if a refinance is in your best interest.

In my time working in the Glendora Real Estate Market, I have known many contractors. One in particular is worth mentioning to other residents, family and friends. Concept Builders have done a few high end renovations for people I know. Every single one of these houses have turned out spectacular. This is refreshing considering all the bad contractors, even ones that have a contractor license, that do sub par work out there. Most of them never show up on time or deliver what they promise. Concept Builders has gone above and beyond on every job.

Recently they did a kitchen and bathroom remodel for a good friend of mine in Glendora. I was once again blown away by the timing and quality of their work. They finished on time and it came out amazing. My friends had decided to buy a fixer upper home in Glendora rather than a more expensive new home in the area. After the renovations, you would swear it was a new home. From the granite counter tops to the marble showers, from the tile flooring to the built-in closet system, every aspect was breath taking.

So, because Concept Builders have proved themselves over and over again, I felt is fitting to recommend them on this blog to anyone in the area thinking about doing home renovations. All of my Real Estate clients are now referred to them, after all, a good lisensed contractor is hard to find.

The residents in Glendora have some concerns when it comes to our property values. Glendora is in a better position than most due to it’s desirable location and the ability to hold home values. There are many reasons as to why home prices in Glendora will not fall as much as surrounding cities in 2009.

National Home Prices

One reason is simple, Glendora has a reputation of being a terrific city to live in. Now that people are not trying to flip houses, home buyers are taking a closer look at the city where they plan to buy. Sure Glendora might be higher cost but it beats out cities like Azusa, San Dimas and Covina in terms of raising a family and staying awhile. Simple fact is, people would rather pay the higher home price if it means living in a better location. This breaks down to more sales in Glendora and more serious buyers coming in 2009.

As the Real Estate Market gets increasingly tough for buyers and sellers, there are ways to help both accomplish their goals. Lease to Buy Options are becoming more and more of a mortgage rescue for the seller that also accomplishes the dream of home ownership for first time buyers.

Here is how it works. Sellers want to sell and buyers want to buy, right? The problem is that banks are not willing to lend the money for a home loan unless you jump through hoops and prove you have perfect credit and employment history. The problem with that is, not everyone is or has always been perfect, especially with this job market.

So the sellers, to get out from under the payment, find someone (potential buyer) to lease the home for a period of time. The agreement is that the potential buyer will purchase the home at the end of that period, usually 1 or 2 years. The reason for this is that credit will be a little looser then and give the potential buyer time to get their credit and employment in order. At the same time, even though they are leasing, the potential buyer feels a sense of home ownership and can take pride in doing home improvements to better the property. After all, this is the house they are trying to buy.

Part of the lease payment to the seller goes towards a downpayment that will be papertrailed to show the lender when the time comes. Oh yes, and the seller…keeps the tax write off until the transaction is complete and has nothing to lose, they have the mortgage payment covered by the lease.
