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

Some newer areas of Yucaipa are experiencing an increase in foreclosed homes; also know as bank owned, REO or Real Estate Owned homes, offering tremendous opportunities to purchase a newer home featuring the latest architectural designs and state-of-the-art ammenities.

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!

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 December 1, 2009. 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.
There are also many city and county programs available to help you purchase your first home, including down payment assistance and programs that can give you as much as 105% financing! Click Here to learn about the available programs and how they can help you achieve the American Dream of owning your own home.
