MLS Residential Property Search Feature

In addition to our popular Foreclosed Home Search, we've just added a brand new MLS (multiple listing service) residential property search feature that allows you to search for any type of residential property in the Inland Empire, all of Southern California and even parts of Arizona. With this new search feature you can search for:

  • Residential Properties
  • Residential Lease Properties
  • Income-Producing Residential Properties
  • Land & Lots
  • Mobile Homes

Just click on the button below to get started. Once you've found one or more properties you like, contact us for more information.

 

Search Foreclosed Properties

Distressed properties - called bank-owned, REO's (real estate owned), foreclosures or repo's -  are some of the the hottest properties in today's real estate market. These properties provide you with an opportunity to purchase some of the the best values on the market. 

Once you've located a foreclosed property that interests you, contact us and we'll provide you with detailed information including currrent price and availability.

Most of the cities listed below have links to their websites where you can learn more about them to see what they have to offer and if they're a good fit for you and your family's lifestyle:

  • Yucaipa - Yucaipa is located in the foothills of the San Bernardino National Forest (host to the tallest peak in Southern California, San Gorgonio (11,500 ft.)approx. One hour from Big Bear, one hour from the Beach and one hour from Palm Springs, Yucaipa is centrally located for a variety of recreational enjoyment.

Newer master planned communities such as Chapman Heights (home of the Yucaipa Valley Golf Club), Hidden MeadowsRolling HillsWhisper RanchWhisper Ridge and Wildwood Estates offer a slower-paced lifestyle associated with country living while not sacrificing design, ammenities or "big city" conveniences.

  • Cherry Valley
  • Beaumont - Beaumont is experiencing a tremendous explosion in available newer bank owned homes for sale, again mainly due to the maturation of ARM's. Homes that sold just a few years ago for $400,000, $500,000 and more when new can now be purchased at deep discounts, some as much as 50-60% less than the original sales price!

Newer planned communities in Beaumont such as Tournament Hills, Fairway Canyon and Oak Hills, are home to PGA-caliber golf courses. In fact, Tournament Hills is home to the East Valley Golf Club, which in turn is home of the Southern California PGA.

First Time Home Buyers

Update: January 2010

President Obama Signs Bill to Allow First Time Home Buyers $8,000 Tax Credit

Washington-On February 13, 2009, President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The bill provides for a $8,000 tax credit that will be available to first-time home buyers for the purchase of a principal residence on or after January 1, 2009 and before April 30th, 2010 (or purchased by June 30, 2010 with a binding sales contract signed by April 30, 2010).  The credit does not require repayment.  Most of the mechanics of the credit will be the same as under the 2008 rules:  the credit will be claimed on a tax return to reduce the purchaser's income tax liability.  If any credit amount remains unused, then the unused amount will be refunded as a check to the purchaser.

In addition to the $8,000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit, there may also be government programs available including down payment assistance and/or property rehab loans. 

Move Up/Repeat Home Buyers Tax Credit

In addition to the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit, there is also a tax credit of up to $6,500 available to move up/repeat home buyers purchasing a principal residence after November 6, 2009 and on or before April 30, 2010 (or purchased by June 30, 2010 with a binding sales contract signed by April 30, 2010).

The law defines a tax credit qualified move-up home buyer (“long-time resident”) as a person who has owned and resided in the same home for at least five consecutive years of the eight years prior to the purchase date. For married taxpayers, the law tests the homeownership history of both the home buyer and his/her spouse. That is, both spouses must qualify as long-time residents, with at least five years of principal residency for each. Repeat home buyers do not have to purchase a home that is more expensive than their previous home to qualify for the tax credit.
