For those who currently live in the Miraval Condos in Rivermark or those who wish to live there in the future,  here is some great news for you.   It's very difficult to keep track of the most recent sales data for any given condo community.  So I have made it easy and am providing the last 3 years of sales activity and history.  The data is taken from the MLS and updated frequently for your convenience.  This is the same data all Realtors get to see.  Now if you want to know how much your neighbor is trying to get for their unit or want to know what the latest sales price was for the complex, you just have to click onto my website:  www.stevemungroup.com   and click on the tab on the left that says Miraval Condo Sales Activity.   www.facebook.com/MiravalRivermark   Happy Hunting.   04/01/2012

In 2008/2009 I listed a Bank of America Short Sale in Mountain View. It took 11 months to close it, with the first buyer walking and the second one sticking it out.  11 months, and I was thrilled to have gotten approval from Bank of America for a short sale.  At that time they had a terrible reputation for short sale approvals, and now they are most agents favorite company.  Boy have things changed!  It has now taken me 3 months, from seller signature on a contract to approval of both a first and second loan from Wells Fargo. It sounds great, but expectations have changed. I would have expected 6-8 weeks from signed offer to full approval on this short sale? I kept asking what is taking so long? The answer in this case is that the sellers never stopped making payments, instead choosing ... 06/22/2011

One of my listings is a short sale in a lovely complex in Santa Clara.  It was only on the market about a week and I got 3 offers on it.  It was priced appropriately, looked good, and I had an open house on Sat and Sun. with plenty of traffic. My sellers signed one of the offers which included a good down-payment, a copy of the earnest money deposit, a pre-approval letter. All of this was sent to the lender by fax and I have been doing my weekly follow up every week. Nothing unusual here. After 3 weeks I was still waiting to hear from a negotiator. So this morning when I called for my weekly update the service rep read me the notes on the file from the processor. She was asking for some updates, including an updated pre-approval letter from the buyer.  I looked at the date on the pre-ap... 03/14/2011

Dear For Sale By Owner: I picked up a flyer and, while reading it on your sidewalk, no less than SIX couples stopped by to see your home. All were disappointed. I was close enough to hear what was being said as they saw your closed door, the chair out front with flyers held down by a rock and a sign on your door saying to take a flyer and leave offers at the door -- none of the comments were positive. Two couples said they were considering making offers on the other two places being shown today just a few doors down form yours. It appears that not being there may have cost you an opportunity to sell today. I'm not sure, but it did look that way to me, a real estate professional. I hope you can make it up tomorrow. You may have no interest whatsoever, but loosing those buyers today may b... 02/05/2011
