Here is the second installment of the newest feature that was recently added to this Lake Oroville real estate market blog.
I call this video feature “Mark’s Real Estate Minute (or 2). Why the “or 2?” Because I have quickly found that I talk to darned much and there is NO WAY that I will every be able to limit these spots to 1 minute!!!! The latest and greatest of these spots will always be on the sidebar of this site for easy access.
I will periodically produce these spots to provide my perspective and advice on a wide array of topics including those you may like to hear about. A lot of changes are once again taking place in the Oroville real estate market and I think it is absolutely essential that you have as much information about Oroville market conditions, as well as market conditions in the greater Butte County real estate market area.
As the old saying goes, “Information is Power.”  And this is exactly what I want to provide to you; the power to make the right decision regarding your real estate needs.  It is my hope that I can pack enough info into each one of these ‘minutes’ to make a difference.
To make this little corner of  this blog site work I am going to need your help. Please e-mail or text or IM me at my Facebook page with any questions or topics that you would like to have addressed.

Sellers in the Lake Oroville real estate market, as well as those in the Paradise, Chico, and other Butte County real estate markets, are currently experiencing the makings of a perfect storm for home prices.
Buyers finally jumping off the fence to take advantage of the low government suppressed interest rates and the increased affordability brought on by an over-correction in housing values, are finding difficulties in having a home because inventories of homes for sale continues to shrink.  Fewer foreclosures coming to market and potential home sellers who can’t sell  because they owe more that their home is worth on the open market, are providing plenty of opportunities for current sellers to stand firm on their pricing.
I invite you to watch my latest vlog post for my take on the whole situation. And, as always, I welcome your comments. Especially yours, Eric!

If the current Lake Oroville Real Estate market is any indication of the activity in other areas of California and the nation, then sellers should be especially pleased to see the increase in prices and the relatively small number of homes on the market. Anyone who has been on the fence about whether or not to sell their home, should take advantage of these interesting conditions and talk to a Realtor about what their home is worth and what it will take to get the most out of the sale.
Spring is also the time to take a look at the outside of your home and assess what repairs or updates that may be necessary as a result of the winter weather. A few tips from the “Feng Shui for sellers” book include:
* Remove any dead plants from the front porch and walkways leading to the front door. Make your entry way welcoming with blooming, live plants or a splash of color with a pot of annuals.
* Clean the cobwebs, dirt and grime from around the front entrance and all doors and windows. Dirty windows, cobwebs and the like convey neglect and a sense of despair.
* Trim the trees and bushes. Landscaping does not need to be fancy or expensive to be impressive. A neat, well trimmed lawn and yard convey a sense of order and comfort.
* Let in the light! Open doors and window shades if the weather is permitting to allow good air and light flow through the home. Fresh air invigorates the brain and makes us feel better. Buyers looking through a closed up, dark home report feeling depressed after viewing. If your home is naturally dark, then make sure the lights are all on before showing the home.
In general, Spring is a time of rebirth and renewal. Even if you are not in the market to sell, the above tips will make your home feel inviting and ready for the summer.
