Shit I'm fixin to buy a home soon too. The top half of cali is expensive as hell. I live in Hollister, where the average home runs 700k-800k. I know I will never be able to buy a suitable home here, so I gotta look towards the valley or AZ, NV or Texas. Shit's outrageous up here.

If you plan on buying property in California don't matter where, make sure its your primary property plan on living in it for 2 years. When you do your yearly declarations (income tax) you have to put that you live in it for that much, otherwise if you put you have been renting it for the 2 yrs and decide on dumping it back on the market you will be paying a tax that you will not be happy with i believe its 25%. I have a client couple that were thinking of selling a property in the West Bay and since its a investment property the state will take a little over 125k. What i advised them was to file seperate the next 2 yrs have the wifey claim their primary and the husband to declare their investment property as his primary. By then the property will build more equity, then sell.
Take full advantage of your VA loan. Buy now!!!!! BTW I am a member of the BayEast Board of Realtors and the MLS out here in Sacramento. I cover pretty much all of northern California and as far south as Merced into the Valley. Make that investment, you will do good homie.....

Welll Vegas is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy cheaper then california - you can defintely get more bang(sq footage mostly) for the buck but then again it is vegas.

heres a recent article i read on california real estate prices:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/latimests/20050613/ts_latimes/costofmovingupkeepsmanyfromsellinghomes

basically says that there won't be too much of a dip in prices cause there arent more sellers than buyers

more things will come to me as i think of it. I got my california brokers license but really havent used it yet but i try to follow the market.

VA Loans are the hook up - i need to look up the details but i know theres some advantages as well as negatives to them. But definitely an affordable way of financing.

The Central Valley and Sacaramento area are HOT markets right now. I have been closing HELLA loans in the Valley. A friend is buying a 2000 sq. ft house in Tracy or somewhere like that for $305,000. You can't touch shit for $305 in the bay. I just got an appraisal in on a DUMP in EPA that was $460k.

yeah, but what about value of the home, will it go up? the only way the value will go up is if you fixed it up. like fix the roof or something. i couldnt see the value of a 800k home just going up in time without putting any work on it
