Brian - How about a list of homes for sale within this boundary? I know some people who are in the market for their first home.
~Jim
Sure, that's a great idea. Here is a list. If you would like to be updated via email each time a new one hits the market, let me know.

Forclosure market report for Tracy, ca---- August 23, 2007
0 Comments Published by Brian W. Barringer on Thursday, August 23, 2007 at 2:19 PM.
This is the total number of REO properties on the MLS as of August 23, 2007
( data from august 7th 2007).
Total # of Residential REO's(bank owned) for sale in the city of Tracy: 142 (109)
Total # of SHORT SALES(pre-forclosure homes) on the market in Tracy: 93
Average # of days on market: 67 (67)
Median price of all REO's for sale in Tracy: $449,000 ($435,000)
Average price of all REO's for sale in Tracy: $457,813 ($422,609)
Number of REO's sold (closed) over past 6 months: 28 (27)
PENDING REO SALES: 8
Total # of vacant homes for sale in Tracy is 377............
SUMMERY: Foreclosures represent about 10% of the real estate market in Tracy, short sales represent another 10% of the market. Its also interesting to point out that the banks inventory is on the rise. Since there are about 8 pending sales this indicates more homes went under contract last month then previous months. With 93 short sales which may turn into foreclosures in the next few months, it looks like we are still going to be riding the foreclosure wave a little longer.

The following information is from the local MLS database, as of August 22, 2007 (data from August 7, 2007):
Total # of Residential properties for sale in the city of Tracy: 939 (942)
Average # of days on market: 74 (69)
Median price of all Homes for sale in Tracy: $479,900 ($480,000)
Average price of all Homes for sale in Tracy: $508,703 ($503,956)
Number of Homes sold (closed) over past 30 days: 37 days (43)
Median sales price, over last 30 days: $448,750 ($417,500)
Average sales price, over last 30 days: $477,336 ($436,110)
(PENDING), Number of properties going under agreementlast 30 days: 55 days (44)
(SOLD)Average days on market before selling: 60 days (71)
Summery: Numbers that are ( inside) are from august 7th 2007. Looks like we are getting a slight market pick-up, buyers are buying more house in slightly less amount of time and for record low prices. Homes that were on the market collecting dust are still there bringing up the days on market for actives. Being that Tracy is a micro market I think that the changes in the average and median sales price do not mean much. My impression is that prices are coming down to a point where first time buyers with good credit can get what they want now. Buyers are more confident that the market will stabilize and also are interested in taking advantage of disappearing financing options. There are even sightly less homes on the market then on the seventh.

Well, I hope that got your attention, its not free money but its just as good. This is important that is why the font is so BIG!!!!!
Qualify for a $75,000 loan from the city that works as a silent second. What that means is you don't make payments.
The deal is when you sell your home you only have to pay the 3% interest. There is about one million dollars in funds for this program.
It is seriously important that all young people or any person who would be a first time buyer in the city of Tracy to know about this program. This is a perfect opportunity to be able to afford your first home, using this as a stepping stone to building your wealth. The city has an interest in rebuilding downtown, and you have an interest in owning your first home. You can grow with the city of Tracy. That's the way I look at it.
Below is a few links that help explain the program. It is the city of Tracy down payment assistance. To find out if you qualify give me a call and we will start the process together. Stay in Tracy and own a home.
Below there is also a direct link to the city's website, A recent Tracy press article titled "A home of her own" and a ABC news10 story on the subject.
This program combine with prices coming down you can get into one of these homes for what you rent for now.

I hope this spells out the details for everyone in black and white. Even if this program wont work for you, it could work for someone you know. I bet you know a family member for friend who can take advantage of this program.

In my previous blog post
City of Tracy will pay your second Mortgage on this home!!!!!!!!! I talked about this home. Today I see the home front page in the Tracy Press, its sold and the new buyers are using the Tracy down payment assistance program. I am truly happy to see this program work even if it was not one of my buyers. I knew right when I saw this home hit the market that it would be ideal for this program. There are a few other homes in the area that would work but are less ideal. Also I have a listing coming on the market soon in the area that would work. Another thing is that I have been through the application process with the city for a few of my buyers and I know how it works. I have a good lender who is also ready and familiar with the process.

Click here to go to tracypress.com and read: A home of her own
here is a quote:
Jones, who makes $35,000 annually as a hair stylist, was the first recipient of Tracy’s down-payment assistance loans and received the maximum $75,000 to use as a down payment for her newly purchased $233,000 home, a foreclosure property.
The Major newsflash is:
1) Its proven, the programs work now. The market condition has allowed it.
2) There is only $1,000,000 in the fund, first come first serve. 10 to 14 more available.

Attn investors Banta(tracy) fixer for $214,900
0 Comments Published by Brian W. Barringer on Tuesday, August 14, 2007 at 11:28 AM.
S 6th St Banta 95304$214,900, 3bd, 1 ba, 1204 sq.ft, 0.170 ac
Built in 1950, Active since (08/02/07)
Located in the small town of Banta which is east of Tracy on Grantline. There are not too many homes in the area for sale and most of them are large homes, ranches or farms on large acreage. The home is near the famous bar/restaurant The Banta Inn.
The inside of this home and it needs some extreme cosmetic work. What it needs is carpet, paint, and some cabinet refinishing, bathroom remodel, and new a/c unit. It needs new flooring throughout because of cat smell! Also there is 3 large vans and a 30' RV on the lot that come with the house(where the cats still live!!!).
Positive features of the property are newer dual pane windows, pergo in one bedroom, ducting for A/C is in, a sky-light is located in kitchen, newer shake roof, nice siding, structure looks to be in good shape.
The home is hard to find because its actually located at the end of 6th street in Banta on a dirt road or cul-de-sac. But even with the negative features this home would be attractive once fixed up and would make a great rental. I like the fact that its a big lot and the home is set all the way back from the street.
There is a small store and gas station across the street. This home would require some money down. Once fixed up and landscaped it would qualify for 100% financing and could be sold for a higher price. In this market it would be smart to buy this then fix it up and then rent as a lease option.
The home is vacant so call me for a showing before it's gone!!!
