Other cash buyers
we buy houses for cash sign We buy houses for cash fast, and we know there are other buyers you can choose. Many of them might make you an attractive initial offer, but they reserve the right to lower that offer or charge you fees once they make a full inspection of your house. And they might delay your closing while they search for financing or the next buyer to sell it to. If they can’t do either of those things, they could completely walk away from the sale, leaving you back where you started, but after weeks of delay.

How to Deal with Bad Renters
It doesn't matter if you are a seasoned professional or just had to become a landlord because you couldn't find a buyer in time, at some point you may eventually face the quintessential "tenant from hell". They pay rent carelessly late, they damage your property, they don't return your calls, or they let their kids turn the walls of your property into their personal drawing canvas. So how can you avoid this problem without spending the time and money involved in eviction court?

What can you do to protect yourself and your property from bad tenants?
First of all, make sure you screen your tenants. You may be in a hurry to fill your vacant lease but don't rush past an adequate background check. Check your future tenants credit score, verify their income, and most importantly, call their previous landlords and references. This is the best way to know what the future will hold for you and your new tenant.

Another step to prevent your tenants from damaging your property and peace of mind is to create a written agreement along with your lease. Make a list of any personal rules about your property and have your renters sign it. Never be a "handshake agreement" type landlord, this will only backfire on you. Get everything in writing.

What if I have a tenant that's violating the lease, engaging in criminal activity, or disrespecting my property?
Make sure you review your lease to see if they are directly violating any clauses in it. If so, you immediately have the legal upper-hand. No, you don't need to get aggressive or confrontational. Think about the best way to handle this situation and approach it calmly; losing your cool will only make things worse. Talk to your tenant in a calm but firm manner about what they are doing and how you expect the problem resolved. Let them know you are prepared to take legal action and evict them if the behavior isn't corrected.

The most important thing you can do after letting your tenants know they are violating your rules is follow up. If your tenant isn't paying your rent on time or is breaking some rule in your lease agreement, follow up immediately and continuously until they do. Ring their doorbell day after day until you have your rent or your issue resolved. Show your tenants they are expected to follow your rules. If you don't have the ability to physically follow up do it through email or phone and keep record of your correspondences.

What if you simply want to be rid of your bad tenant problem?
Are you ready to stop putting up with this headache all together? You have a few options to consider if you don't want to deal with your tenant problem anymore. Some landlords will actually offer their tenants money to leave, this seems counter-productive for someone trying to make money off their leased property but this can be a viable solution if you need your tenants gone. You can also evict your tenant if you are no longer willing to deal with their behavior. If you're taking this route you will want to hire a lawyer and act fast, this process can often be long and expensive.

If you are done dealing with the headaches that come with landlording and bad tenants all together you can always sell your property. Let someone like us take your problem off your hands. Even if your tenants have left your property in desperate need of repairs, we will buy it as-is and give you cash. You can stop wasting your time and energy working with with tenants that disrespect and damage your investment.

Call We Buy Houses today, and we'll make you a quick offer for your property, so you can say goodbye to your nightmare tenants.

The Pandemic Is Putting A Squeeze On The Sacramento Housing Market

As the pandemic has forced people to spend more time in their homes, it's also made it much more difficult to find a new house if you wanted to move.

Both nationwide and in the Sacramento area, housing inventories are down significantly.

“The number of homes on the market nationwide is down 25% from this time last year,” Zillow economist Jeff Tucker told CapRadio’s Insight. “The housing market shouldn’t move that much, so we keep double checking our math because that is a staggering drop in the pool of homes for sale.”

Tucker said both buyers and sellers pumped the breaks in March and April, but buyers have come back in a big way, while sellers have been slower to return, putting an upward pressure on prices.

Tucker said a lot of millennials — people in their early 30s — are buying their first homes right now, while extremely low mortgage rates — below 3% — are available.

“Our pace of sales is actually up a little bit from this time last year,” he said.
He said in California, the Sacramento housing market is hotter than the Bay Area, with Sacramento inventory down a “staggering” 30% year over year.

“That suggests to me that in the near term Sacramento is going to continue feeling a lot of pressure on the listings that are on the market,” Tucker said.

Sacramento broker associate Erin Stumpf, with Coldwell Banker, agrees.

"In June we had about 1,300 active listings, and in June of last year we had almost double that," she said.

Stumpf said she’s seeing multiple offers on available listings, and buyers having to offer more or give up some of their contingencies to be competitive.

“Sellers right now, unless they have a flawed property or really try to push the envelope on price, definitely have an upper-hand position,” she said.

Stumpf notes that it’s difficult to put a house on the market right now, with the pandemic creating more barriers to moving through the selling process.

Realtors can’t hold open houses. Instead, a potential buyer must sign a health declaration that they are virus-free, make a viewing appointment and wear protective gear to see a home. Things like appraisals and repairs are also more difficult to schedule.

However, she said it’s a better situation now than in the early days of the pandemic when “for a good three-week period our transactions were dead in the water.”

For renters, the pandemic has made affording California’s expensive housing even more difficult than usual.

Public Advocates housing expert Michelle Pariset says as millions of people have lost their jobs, her firm is seeing many people struggling financially. She says it’s a crisis for both tenants and landlords, and solutions are needed to keep everybody’s heads above water.

“It’s not an easy task, and it’s not going to be cheap,” she said. “This moment that we’re in calls for creative solutions — things we haven’t considered before.”

Pariset highlighted two emergency COVID-19 bills — AB 1436 which offers tenant protections and SB 1410 which provides tax credits for landlords — as including aspects of what’s needed to help combat the crisis.

She says there’s a compressed time frame to put protections in place before unemployment benefits expire — including an additional $600 in federal benefits ending July 31 — and more people become unable to pay rent. While Pariset says in the best of times it can be difficult for regular people to engage at the Capitol, she urges residents to reach out to legislators and explain how important this issue is.

“We have an opportunity to deal with this crisis proactively rather than wait until there’s a huge amount of damage done further down the road,” she said.

Housing Affordability Inches Down, Despite Record-Low Mortgage Rates

Despite hovering around their all-time low for several months now, it looks like mortgage rates have done about all they can for housing affordability.

According to a new report, skyrocketing home prices have now outstripped their power, and overall homebuying affordability is now moving downward.
Data from mortgage insurer First American shows that record-low mortgage rates boosted American homebuying power for much of 2020. At one point, buyers could afford a whopping $15,000 more house thanks to declining interest rates.

But now, with home prices up 8% over last year and 1.5% between just July and August, those days have officially come to an end.
“Mortgage rates began declining in January 2020 and even dropped below 3% for the first time ever in August.,” says Mark Fleming, chief economist at First American. “But, as mortgage rates have fallen and the housing market has recovered amid strong demand and historically low supply, nominal house price appreciation has rapidly accelerated. In August, the dynamics powering affordability may have reached a tipping point.”

According to the report, affordability dropped by about $775 in August, despite mortgage rates hitting a new monthly low of 2.92%.
Though the dip is small, Fleming says it indicates that rising home prices have begun to “erode the affordability gains of recent years.”

Buyers located in the Census Bureau’s Mountain region have it the worst. There, prices have risen by 9.2% in the last year. That area includes Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming.

At the metro level, home prices have risen the most in San Diego, Seattle, Cleveland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Boston, Phoenix, Miami and Tampa, Fla. In San Diego, prices rose nearly 30% between August 2019 and August 2020.

Only three markets have seen price growth decelerate: New York, Chicago, and Portland.
