August 2015 | Conejo and San Fernando Valley Real Estate Video Blog with Steven Aslanian

How we helped Lucretia purchase her home by going the extra mile

“What makes Steven stick out to me is that he listens to the client. I needed to make an offer on my new place and someone to draw it up, and he drew it up because I didn’t have an agent. He came to the office on his day off, and he drew up something he was not going to get paid for. I didn’t know at the time that I was his very first client. He had goals set for himself, and he has achieved every one of them. He wanted to be in the million dollar market--and he is!”

Today I'd like to share a very brief market update with you. All of this data was compiled by RE/MAX and it covers the numbers from June 2014 to June 2015.

Year over year, home sales increased by 12%.
The median home price rose to $224K, which is a 7.4% increase.
The average days on market is sitting at 58 days, which is a decrease of 4 days from June 2014.
Inventory is also beginning to decline, as there are 11.8% fewer homes for sale now than there were last year.

With home sales increasing and inventory declining, this can only mean one thing: it's a good time to be selling your home.

The good news for buyers is that homes are still very affordable because interest rates are as low as they've ever been. However, they are set to rise, so now is also a smart time to buy a home.

If you have any questions, or if you'd like more information on our local market, please don't hesitate to contact me!

testimonials from happy clients

Bennie -"We got great results. We had to get out of the house right away, and I was very impressed at what he did with the house in the two-month time-frame that we had to sell it. We had some offers on the house, and he kept sending material out to get better offers. My siblings and I thought we weren’t going to get any more money than this, but a better offer came in, and we did! That was wonderful."

Ben -"I got the asking price on my house, which was about $20,000 more than the home was worth. Then he found me a townhouse, and I bought it for $10,000 less than its appraised value because he knew how to negotiate. Thanks to Steve’s expertise, I got a great price, and the house has worked out great!"

Richard -"I’m an investor, and he was able to get me into some lower-priced homes. I was able to find one that I liked, and the purchase was very quick and easy. The house was still owner-occupied, and it was a short sale. In those cases, it can be difficult to get into the house to look at it. He was very good about getting me into the house, and he even gave me a second showing so I could bring some family along. I felt he went above and beyond by creating as easy a process as possible!"

Serj -"Steven found a couple of properties for me. The negotiating took a couple of months because he dealt with both the bank and the owner. It was a very complicated process, but he got it done! He kept me updated every step of the way. One of the owners was out of the country, so he had to get ahold of the owner in Mexico! He was able to get what he needed from the owner. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience."

Carlton -"They were very professional. He did a very quick job. He was proactive, which is something that I don’t see in real estate agents that much. I was very impressed with him. When we first listed the house, he gave us tips on how to sell the house, what to price it, and told us cosmetic things to do around the house. Most agents don’t do that!"

Lucretia -“What makes Steven stick out to me is that he listens to the client. I needed to make an offer on my new place and someone to draw it up, and he drew it up because I didn’t have an agent.
