<p>Thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog!  It could be that you’re interested in <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/buyers.php" target="_blank">buying a Lake Nacimiento</a> <a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/buyers.php" target="_blank">home</a></strong> this spring and you’re beginning to do your research; which is always a great first step!  Whether you’re buying an <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/oakshores-info.php" target="_blank">Oak Shores</a></strong> or <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/heritage-ranch-info.php" target="_blank">Heritage Ranch home</a></strong> as your new place of residence or you’re finally taking that step to buy the vacation home of your dreams, taking time to get fully prepared for this large financial investment will make the entire home buying process run much more smoothly.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/buyers.php" target="_blank">Buying a Lake Nacimiento home</a></strong> in the spring is an exciting time as the market really picks up with buyers and sellers jumping into the <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market</a></strong>. While this can result in fresh homes on the market, it can also translate into a more competitive market for buyers.</p>
<p>As an experienced <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/staff.php" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent</a></strong>, I thought it would be helpful to give you some inside tips that will help you navigate the busier spring market.  Finding the <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty?action=newsearchsession&amp;office_only=Y&amp;single_family=Y&amp;multi_family=Y&amp;commercial=Y&amp;condo=Y" target="_blank">home on Lake Nacimiento</a></strong> that meets your needs and lifestyle perfectly, and then finding out that you’ve been outbid can be heartbreaking.  However, this can be avoided!  Take a few minutes to review these four ways to avoid being outbid.</p>
<p><strong>1. Beat the Crowd-</strong> Make it clear to your <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/staff.php" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent</a></strong> that you want to be made aware of new <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty?action=newsearchsession&amp;office_only=Y&amp;single_family=Y&amp;multi_family=Y&amp;commercial=Y&amp;condo=Y" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento homes</a></strong> as soon as they come on the market. This will help ensure that you are on top of the competition in seeing new homes and being able to make the first offer. You’ll also want to keep your offer deadline as tight as possible so the listing agent has less of a chance to entertain other offers.</p>
<p><strong>2. Do Your Homework-</strong> Many people are not able to pay all cash for a home. However, having a letter from your lender stating how much you’re qualified for will give you a boost! You want to know exactly what you’re able to spend before beginning your <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty?action=newsearchsession&amp;office_only=Y&amp;single_family=Y&amp;multi_family=Y&amp;commercial=Y&amp;condo=Y" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento home search</a></strong>. Be aware that the average down payment in today’s <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market</a></strong> is around 20%. This type of preparation will help set you a part from the competition.</p>
<p><strong>3. Aim High-</strong> It seems to go without saying that sellers tend to be more interested in the highest offer rather than an all cash offer.  Your <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/staff.php" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent</a></strong> should provide a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) of <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty?action=newsearchsession&amp;office_only=Y&amp;single_family=Y&amp;multi_family=Y&amp;commercial=Y&amp;condo=Y" target="_blank">homes on the Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market</a></strong> that have recently sold or are currently on the market.  This will give you a good idea of what other homes like the one you’re bidding on are selling for and will help you come up with a reasonable offer.</p>
<p><strong>4. Relax- </strong>A demanding buyer can deter sellers, so it’s wise to be patient.  Although the national housing market is improving; sellers are still aware that buyers have the upper hand.  It could be that the seller is also forced to sell due to extenuating circumstances, so the selling process can be a sensitive time.  Be willing to work with the sellers’ time constraints on closing dates and don’t demand help with closing costs if you find you’re getting a good deal on the <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty?action=newsearchsession&amp;office_only=Y&amp;single_family=Y&amp;multi_family=Y&amp;commercial=Y&amp;condo=Y" target="_blank">Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch home</a></strong>. Being in tune with the sellers needs can be a great way to make the seller feel good about accepting your offer.</p>
<p>Armed with these tips, you’ll find you have a great chance of getting your dream <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty?action=newsearchsession&amp;office_only=Y&amp;single_family=Y&amp;multi_family=Y&amp;commercial=Y&amp;condo=Y" target="_blank">home on Lake Nacimiento</a></strong>!  Of course I’m always here to help answer your questions and would enjoy the opportunity to guide you through each step of the home buying process.</p>
<p>If you’re ready to <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty?action=newsearchsession&amp;office_only=Y&amp;single_family=Y&amp;multi_family=Y&amp;commercial=Y&amp;condo=Y" target="_blank">begin your Lake Nacimiento home search</a></strong>, feel free to contact me today!  I would love to help you find, buy and get settled into the <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento lifestyle</a></strong> as soon as possible!</p>
<p>I look forward to hearing from you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4298" style="margin: 2px" src="http://blog.oakshoresrealty.com/files/2012/01/dockonlake.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="300" /></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/" target="_blank">Buying a vacation home on Lake Nacimiento</a></strong> may be at the top of your list for the new year as you’ve come to discover this area is a fantastic getaway destination.  Whether you’ve visited <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty/index.cfm?action=searchresults&amp;searchkey=1b5d839a-a966-43ac-aeb0-6d058dce93ac&amp;npp=10" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento</a></strong> in the past or have only heard about the wide variety of perks of vacationing here; thinking through buying a second home can be an exciting time!</p>
<p>As a <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/staff.php" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent</a></strong>, I can attest that there are many beautiful <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty/index.cfm?action=searchresults&amp;searchkey=1b5d839a-a966-43ac-aeb0-6d058dce93ac&amp;npp=10" target="_blank">homes on the Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market</a></strong> that will serve as ideal vacation homes.  From lakefront homes to those tucked away on private lots, you’re sure to find one that fits your style, budget and needs.</p>
<p>Since buying a vacation home is a large financial decision, I wanted to provide you with five tips to consider as you enter the <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento home buying process</a></strong>.</p>
<p><strong>1. Don’t Rush</strong>- When shopping for a <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty/index.cfm?action=searchresults&amp;searchkey=6b4bc6eb-9edd-9c9f-ab28-16dab57efcdf&amp;npp=10">Lake Nacimiento home</a></strong>, take your time. Rushing through the vacation home buying process could have you doubting your decision down the road.  It can be easy to make a quick decision, especially if you’re just visiting for the weekend. Take the time to discover the pros and cons of each <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/oakshores-info.php" target="_blank">Oak Shores</a></strong> or <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/heritage-ranch-info.php" target="_blank">Heritage Ranch home</a></strong> you visit.  The great thing about a <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty/index.cfm?action=searchresults&amp;searchkey=1b5d839a-a966-43ac-aeb0-6d058dce93ac&amp;npp=10" target="_blank">vacation home</a></strong> is that you can have the luxury to really think through your purchase.</p>
<p><strong>2. Keep the Market in Mind</strong>-  Home prices across the nation are some of the lowest that we’ve seen in a long time, so you’re bound to find a great deal.  Consequently, we are dealing in a buyer’s market so competition can be more fierce.  While you don’t want to rush your decision; it’s important to understand that a great <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty/index.cfm?action=searchresults&amp;searchkey=1b5d839a-a966-43ac-aeb0-6d058dce93ac&amp;npp=10" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento home</a></strong> can be a favorite for many potential buyers, so you don’t want to wait too long before deciding on a home.</p>
<p><strong>3. Think Through Pertinent Questions</strong>: It’s important to ask yourself the important questions when buying a vacation home.  Ask yourself:</p>
<p>. How often will you visit and how much time will you spend there?</p>
<p>. Is it worth the money?</p>
<p>. What will the price appreciation be, realistically?</p>
<p>. How much will you have to pay every year for landscaping, association dues, garbage collection and taxes?</p>
<p>These questions can help determine which <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/oakshores-info.php" target="_blank">Oak Shores</a></strong> or <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/heritage-ranch-info.php" target="_blank">Heritage Ranch home</a></strong> is right for you!</p>
<p><strong>4. Know Your Mortgage Options</strong>- While the loan standards and rates are nearly the same for first and second homes, there can be unexpected changes if the lender considers your purchase an investment property.  Your interest rate could be pushed up 1.5 to 2 percentage points, so be aware and plan accordingly.  Oftentimes <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/buyers.php">buyers</a></strong> will use the equity on their first home to make a down payment for their second home.  You’ll want to think through the best option for you, or talk with your <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/staff.php">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent</a></strong> about any other options.</p>
<p><strong>5. Know the Difference of Lake Living</strong>- Make sure you can get the insurance you need, particularly if you want to <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty/index.cfm?action=searchresults&amp;searchkey=6b4bc6eb-9edd-9c9f-ab28-16dab57efcdf&amp;npp=10">buy a lake front home on Lake Nacimiento</a></strong>.  Lake living is great, but there are a few additional things to consider that you wouldn’t need to think about when living inland.</p>
<p>I hope that reviewing these tips will help you as you begin the process of searching for your ideal <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty/index.cfm?action=searchresults&amp;searchkey=1b5d839a-a966-43ac-aeb0-6d058dce93ac&amp;npp=10" target="_blank">Lake Nacimeinto vacation home</a></strong>.  If you haven’t started the process yet and are looking for a <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/staff.php" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent</a></strong> to walk with you through the home buying experience; please let me know!</p>
<p>My years of experience with the <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market</a></strong> will ensure that you find what you’re looking for in an efficient and stress free manner.  Feel free to contact me today to get started!</p>

<p>A few weeks ago we looked at some of the mistakes you’ll want to avoid when <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/sellers.php" target="_blank">selling your home on Lake</a> <a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/sellers.php" target="_blank">Nacimiento</a></strong>.  As a <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/staff.php" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent</a></strong>, I’ve also seen many people interested in <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/" target="_blank">buying a home in Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch</a></strong> given the current low mortgage rates and ideally priced <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty?action=newsearchsession&amp;office_only=Y&amp;single_family=Y&amp;multi_family=Y&amp;commercial=Y&amp;condo=Y" target="_blank">homes along Lake Nacimiento</a></strong>, so I thought today we could review a few mistakes that you don’t want to make when it comes to <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/buyers.php" target="_blank">buying a home</a></strong>!</p>
<p>Since banks have tightened the reins on who qualifies for a home loan, you want to make sure that your credit and personal finances are in good order before you begin the home buying process, as well as up until the time you close on your home.  Oftentimes buyers feel they can breathe a sigh of relief once they’re approved, but find out that problems arise prior to closing.</p>
<p>In order to avoid any mishaps during the <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/buyers.php" target="_blank">home buying process</a></strong> when it comes to your financing, take a look at these four tips!</p>
<p><strong>1. Avoid any major purchases before closing your mortgage loan- </strong>Just because you have your mortgage approved and lined up doesn’t mean the deal is done.  Banks are not afraid to pull out of the deal if they see the homebuyer makes a significant purchase such as a car or another major buy.  They see this as a sign of further debt for the homebuyer and are nervous about the potential risks if the buyer can’t come up with the money. To be safe, avoid any major purchases until after your signed the contract on your <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty?action=newsearchsession&amp;office_only=Y&amp;single_family=Y&amp;multi_family=Y&amp;commercial=Y&amp;condo=Y" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento home</a></strong>.  This goes for cash purchases as well since banks will look at your cash reserve before you get approved for a loan.</p>
<p><strong>2. Don’t make any big career changes- </strong>While this may the reason you’re <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty?action=newsearchsession&amp;office_only=Y&amp;single_family=Y&amp;multi_family=Y&amp;commercial=Y&amp;condo=Y" target="_blank">searching for a new home on Lake Nacimiento</a></strong>, it’s better to avoid any career changes during the home buying process.  Banks want to know that your financials are stable.  If there is a career change pending, try to delay it until after you’ve bought the home.  Or, delay the home purchase if at all possible until you can show that your new job is given you the financial resources to pay on your new home.</p>
<p><strong>3. Prepare for a last-minute credit check- </strong>This may come as a surprise to some, but with Fannie Mae’s loan quality initiative that came out in June of this year, lenders are likely to do a second credit check right before you close. Make sure that you keep up with your credit card payments and avoid applying for a new credit card during the <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/buyers.php" target="_blank">home buying process</a></strong> as they may see this as a sign of desperation and can call for another credit score check, which could hurt your credit score.</p>
<p><strong>4. Watch out for closing-cost surprises-</strong> Avoid putting all of your money into the down payment as you’ll need cash for closing costs. Don’t be caught off guard!  At times, closing costs can be as much as 3% of the home price, so be sure to keep this in mind and set enough aside.</p>
<p>With these tips in mind, you should find that once you’ve been approved for a mortgage, there shouldn’t be any issues that arise along the way.  If you have been thinking about <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/buyers.php" target="_blank">buying a home on Lake Nacimiento</a></strong>, whether as a vacation getaway or a permanent residence you’ll find there are a variety of great <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty?action=newsearchsession&amp;office_only=Y&amp;single_family=Y&amp;multi_family=Y&amp;commercial=Y&amp;condo=Y" target="_blank">homes on the Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market</a></strong>!</p>
<p>Finding a home that fits your needs, budget and lifestyle is something I enjoy helping clients find on <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/lake-information.php" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento</a></strong>, so feel free to contact me today to <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty?action=newsearchsession&amp;office_only=Y&amp;single_family=Y&amp;multi_family=Y&amp;commercial=Y&amp;condo=Y" target="_blank">get started with your Lake Nacimiento home search</a></strong>!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3357" src="http://blog.oakshoresrealty.com/files/2011/08/shortsale-foreclosure-240x300.gif" alt="" width="240" height="300" /><strong><a href="http://www.Iwantashortsale.com/" target="_blank">Short sales</a></strong> seem to be flooding the market the past few years as our nation has dealt the best they could given our economic state.  If you need to sell your underwater <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento home</a></strong>, a short sale is a great option.  While you may feel discouraged that you won’t get the return on investment that you might in a regular sale, pursuing a short sale is far better than having to go into foreclosure.  Taking action now will help ensure you get your <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty/index.cfm?action=searchresults&amp;searchkey=fc382fe8-f214-2d9a-a1a7-0e40d9ac9da6&amp;npp=10" target="_blank">Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch home sold</a></strong> before it’s too late!</p>
<p>As a <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/staff.php" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent</a></strong> for over twenty years, I’ve seen a wide range of homes that need to be sold as quickly as possible.  I know the <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty/index.cfm?action=searchresults&amp;searchkey=fc382fe8-f214-2d9a-a1a7-0e40d9ac9da6&amp;npp=10" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market</a></strong> inside and out, and when the market took a turn, I knew that I needed to take action in order to provide my clients with the best service possible.</p>
<p>I became a <strong><a href="http://www.Iwantashortsale.com/" target="_blank">Certified Distressed Property Expert</a></strong> to help those whose homes were underwater or those facing the possibility of foreclosure.  No one should have to go into foreclosure and face the hardship that greatly affects your credit when it can be avoided!  If you are thinking about a short sale, there are seven short sale mistakes that you’ll want to avoid.</p>
<p><strong>Mistake #1: Pricing your Home Incorrectly</strong>-  Overpricing a short sale in a buyers market will result in your <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty/index.cfm?action=searchresults&amp;searchkey=fc382fe8-f214-2d9a-a1a7-0e40d9ac9da6&amp;npp=10" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento home</a></strong> sitting on the market for a long time.  Pricing a short sale is not just about appealing to buyers, but also to the short sale bank, the buyers agent and the buyers lender.  A well priced <strong><a href="http://www.Iwantashortsale.com/" target="_blank">short sale</a></strong> will sell quickly.</p>
<p><strong>Mistake #2: Hiring an Inexperienced Listing Agent</strong>-  You’ll want to choose a <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/staff.php" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent</a></strong> who has experience in dealing with short sales.  As a <strong><a href="http://www.Iwantashortsale.com/" target="_blank">Certified Distressed Property Expert</a></strong>, I can give you a clear understanding of what to expect and help you throughout the entire process.</p>
<p><strong>Mistake #3: Bad Marketing</strong>- This goes along with making sure to hire a <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/staff.php" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent</a></strong> who has an extensive marketing plan.  Your home should undergo the same type of marketing that a regular home would have, so be sure to ask any potential <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/staff.php" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent</a></strong> about how they will market your home.</p>
<p><strong>Mistake #4: Showing Restrictions</strong>- As the seller, you want to make sure that your home is available for people to view as much as possible.  The more you limit the times that your home can be shown, the more you limit the amount of potential buyers who will view your home.  Flexibility with your schedule is key!</p>
<p><strong>Mistake #5: No Photographs</strong>- Again, this correlates with your <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/staff.php" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent</a></strong>.  Your agent should set up a time to come and photograph your home.  This way, they can adequately market your home and give buyers a feel for what makes your home unique.  Homes that only have a few photographs may cause buyers to skip by the home online and focus on the homes that have more pictures.</p>
<p><strong>Mistake #6: Poor Property Condition</strong>- Even though you won’t be making any money on your home, making sure your home is in good condition is still vital in getting your home sold.  Sometime sellers can take on an attitude of not caring, but in order to get out from under the financial burden of your home; you’ll need to keep your home well maintained and make sure it’s attractive to buyers.</p>
<p><strong>Mistake #7: Uncooperative Sellers</strong>- As a seller of a <strong><a href="http://www.Iwantashortsale.com/" target="_blank">short sale</a></strong>, you’ll need to be ready to do more paperwork than usual.  Of course, no one loves to go through tons of paperwork, but being willing to work with your <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/staff.php" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent</a></strong> and comply with the steps that need to be taken will help get your home sold quickly.</p>
<p>Going forward with a short sale can be a very positive process as you walk away from a financial burden and focus on getting things back in order to be able to buy again in the future.  If you have any questions about short sales or are ready to take the next step in putting your <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty/index.cfm?action=searchresults&amp;searchkey=fc382fe8-f214-2d9a-a1a7-0e40d9ac9da6&amp;npp=10" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento home</a></strong> on the market as a <strong><a href="http://www.Iwantashortsale.com/" target="_blank">short sale</a></strong>, please let me know!</p>
<p>I will be your trusted resource and guide throughout the entire <strong><a href="http://www.Iwantashortsale.com/" target="_blank">short sale process</a></strong>.  I look forward to working with you!</p>

<div>It’s hard to believe that August is upon us and summer on <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento</a> </strong>is winding down.  It’s been a greatsummer filled with endless activities and time out on our beautiful lake.  <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/lake-information.php" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento’s</a></strong> season of water skiing, boating and jet skiing however are far from over!  With ideal temperatures, residents of <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/oakshores-info.php" target="_blank">Oak Shores</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/heritage-ranch-info.php" target="_blank">Heritage Ranch</a></strong> along with visitors to <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento</a></strong> can enjoy being out on the water for the next few months.</div>
<p>As a <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/staff.php" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent</a></strong>, I enjoy seeing people get the most out of <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/lake-information.php" target="_blank">living on Lake Nacimiento</a></strong> and want to provide great information that will give a well rounded approach to the active lifestyle that is available.  One way of doing this is through bringing an awareness to safety on <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/lake-information.php" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento</a></strong>.</p>
<p>While it’s important to have fun on days spent out on the lake, it’s also imperative to use safety precautions. Please take a minute to look at this helpful checklist to ensure you have a fun and safe time out on <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/lake-information.php" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento</a></strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Basic Safety</strong></p>
<p>• Always wear sunscreen!<br />
• Make sure everyone in your boat can swim, and if not, that floating devices are used and there is someone watching that person at all times.<br />
• Never swim alone! Even the most experienced swimmers can experience fatigue, or an injury that will make it hard to swim<br />
• Always watch children who are anywhere near water! The most accidents happen when children are wading in shallow water, so always make sure they’re supervised!<br />
• Be sure to swim only in designated swimming areas.<br />
• Look before you leap! Never dive into water unless you know that it’s deep enough to do so. Always keep your hands above your head when diving to ensure safety.<br />
• Never mix swimming or boating with alcohol.</p>
<p><strong>Water Skiing</strong><br />
To make your water skiing fun, safe, sensible and successful, practice these safe driving tips:</p>
<p>• Check steering and throttle controls for proper operation before towing skier.<br />
• On take-offs, never accelerate until a definite signal is given by skier.<br />
• When under way, keep attention ahead. The observer is to watch the skier.<br />
• Never follow other boats. Always look before turning. Avoid shallow water.<br />
• Promote safety by staying away from other boats, swimmers, fishermen and solid objects.<br />
• Return to fallen skier immediately. Slow to idle as you approach skier, moving in on the driver’s side.<br />
• Shut off engine while skier climbs into or out of boat. Discourage skiers from boarding over transom.<br />
• High speed landings cause injuries. When skiing into shore, reduce speed and parallel the landing area at a safe distance.<br />
• Do not tow non-swimmers or weak swimmers unless they wear an approved and appropriate flotation device.</p>
<p><strong>Person Overboard</strong><br />
If someone falls overboard, follow these procedures:</p>
<p>• Toss a life-saving device even if the person can swim. A life ring is the preferred device. It can be thrown farther and is easier to hang on to. However, use whatever device is nearest. Time is essential.<br />
• Slow the boat, keeping the person in view. Other persons onboard should act as look outs. At night, direct the best possible lights on the victim.<br />
• Try to approach the person from downwind or into the waves. Always use common sense and good judgment. Consider existing condition and ability of the victim and what other help is available. If someone aboard is capable, have the person put on a life-saving device with a line attached to the boat and enter the water to assist the person.<br />
• Always stop the motor when someone is going over the side, or coming aboard.<br />
• Assist the person in boarding the boat. It is difficult to climb into a boat from the water. The person may be hurt or cold and may require help.</p>
<p><strong>Passengers<a href="http://blog.oakshoresrealty.com/2011/08/safety-tips-for-having-fun-on-lake-nacimiento/life-vest-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-3281"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3281" src="http://blog.oakshoresrealty.com/files/2011/08/life-vest.jpg" alt="" width="276" height="183" /></a></strong></p>
<p>• Wearing a Personal Flotation Devices (PFD) is your only guarantee against drowning.<br />
• Do not overload the boat.<br />
• Avoid horseplay.<br />
• Have PDF’s readily available for everyone.<br />
• In small boats, remain seated.<br />
• Trim boat by placing passengers and gear in balance.</p>
<p><strong>Before Leaving…</strong></p>
<p>• Tell someone where you are going and when you expect to return.<br />
• Check weather forecasts.<br />
• Ventilate bilges before starting engine.<br />
• Be sure your boat is basically equipped.</p>
<p><strong>While Underway…</strong></p>
<p>• Know and obey the rules of the road.<br />
• Post a lookout for bathers, fishermen, swimmers, debris.<br />
• Reduce speed in harbors and in confined areas. Avoid excessive speed.<br />
• Make no sharp turns at high speed.<br />
• Watch your wake! You could be responsible for injury or damage caused by it.<br />
• In rough water, stay low in the boat and cross waves at a slight angle.<br />
• Keep red-buoys on your right when traveling upstream.<br />
• Tying up to buoys or anchoring in channels is forbidden.<br />
• Carry sufficient tools for minor repairs.</p>
<p><strong>Fueling Tips</strong></p>
<p>• Stop smoking and extinguish all fires.<br />
• Close all vents, doors, hatches.<br />
• Ground the nozzle to tank opening.<br />
• Portable tanks should be filled outside of boat.<br />
• Ventilate engine compartment before starting.</p>
<p><strong>Always Have the Following Items in Your Boat:</strong></p>
<p>• Personal flotation device<br />
• Paddle<br />
• Towline<br />
• Emergency radio<br />
• Bailing device<br />
• Whistle or horn<br />
• Fire extinguisher<br />
• First aid kit<br />
• Flares</p>
<p>I hope these tips provide you with the information you need to enjoy <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/lake-information.php" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento</a></strong> while putting safety first!  If you are not currently a resident of <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/oakshores-info.php" target="_blank">Oak Shores</a></strong> or <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/heritage-ranch-info.php" target="_blank">Heritage Ranch</a></strong> and would like to learn more about the <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market</a></strong>, please let me know!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3220" src="http://blog.oakshoresrealty.com/files/2011/07/lake-nacimiento-300x168.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="168" /></p>
<p>Whether you’re <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/buyers.php" target="_blank">buying your first home on Lake Nacimiento</a></strong> in the <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/heritage-ranch-info.php" target="_blank">Heritage Ranch</a></strong> or <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/oakshores-info.php" target="_blank">Oak Shores</a><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/oakshores-info.php" target="_blank">community</a></strong>, or are just considering the idea of <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/buyers.php" target="_blank">buying a vacation home</a> </strong>on this beautiful lake; <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty/index.cfm?action=searchresults&amp;searchkey=42dccc5d-e6ed-7982-24c1-7ce9bf7283f1&amp;npp=10" target="_blank">buying a home</a></strong> can seem like an overwhelming process.  If you are a <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/buyers.php" target="_blank">first time home buyer</a></strong>, you may not know what exactly to expect from the home buying experience.</p>
<p>As a <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/staff.php" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent</a></strong>, I know the ins and outs of <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/" target="_blank">buying and selling a home on Lake Nacimiento</a></strong> and can help you navigate through each step of the process.  Below are eight simple steps that will have you well on your way to successfully <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/buyers.php" target="_blank">buying your Lake Nacimiento home</a></strong>!</p>
<p><strong>Step 1: Set Up Your Financing- </strong>Getting pre-approved for a loan is imperative in today’s <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market</a></strong>. Make sure you’ve spoken with a lender on how much you can afford and the type of financing you can get.  Having a pre-approval letter will show sellers that you’re serious about buying and it can help move the process along quickly.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2: Examine the House Carefully- </strong>Even though the <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/oakshores-info.php" target="_blank">Oak Shores</a></strong> or <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/heritage-ranch-info.php" target="_blank">Heritage Ranch home</a></strong> you’re interested in may seem in excellent condition, you’ll want to examine the house very carefully.  Getting a home inspection will put to rest any questions you may have about the condition of the home and will let you know of any repairs that need to be made that can be included in your final offer.  Do not accept the home’s condition from its appearance alone.  You could find yourself facing major repairs once you move in.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3: Set a Limit for Yourself-</strong> It can be easy to get swept up in a bidding war if the home you have your eye on is being viewed by a few other buyers. It’s important to set a limit for yourself and be willing to walk away once that limit has been met.  There are many great homes on the <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market</a></strong> that buying outside of your means is not necessary to get a great home.</p>
<p><strong>Step 4: Decide on an Offer Price- </strong>Your <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/staff.php" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent</a></strong> can help you determine your offer price as they’ll present you with the comparable homes currently on the market.  By viewing these similar homes and with the advice from your real estate agent, you can set a realistic offer.  It’s typical to offer 5-10% lower than the home is currently listed on the market, rather than making an extremely low offer that the seller will immediately reject.  A lower offer will show that you’re interested and will give them room to counteroffer.</p>
<p><strong>Step 5: Decide on Earnest Money- </strong>Earnest money is cash that you can include with your offer to show that you’re serious.  The earnest money can vary depending on what you can afford and this amount will be subtracted from the amount you borrow from the lender.  Typically the earnest money is about 1% of the purchase price.</p>
<p><strong>Step 6: Consider Your Contingencies- </strong>Things such as closing costs, inspection, the appraisal, or any repairs are just a few of the contingencies that can be worked into your offer.  Your <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/staff.php" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent</a></strong> can help you build these into your offer, that will allow you to walk away or renegotiate with the seller if they are not met.</p>
<p><strong>Step 7: Make it Move-In Ready- </strong>If you’re a <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/buyers.php" target="_blank">first time home buyer</a></strong>, you may not have everything you need to furnish an entire home.  Asking for certain things from the seller such as furniture or appliances can be apart of the offer and can help your home be more move-in ready.</p>
<p><strong>Step 8: Take Attention Away From Price- </strong>Most sellers do not want to see an offer that’s below the asking price, but you can make your offer more pleasing by adding in a few things such as an all-cash transaction or a quick close, that will sweeten the deal for the seller.</p>
<p>Following these eight steps will guide you through the <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/buyers.php" target="_blank">home buying process</a></strong> and give you insight into what you can expect from <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/buyers.php" target="_blank">buying a Lake Nacimiento home</a></strong>.  If you are ready to <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty/index.cfm?action=searchresults&amp;searchkey=42dccc5d-e6ed-7982-24c1-7ce9bf7283f1&amp;npp=10" target="_blank">begin searching for a home in Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch</a></strong>; feel free to contact me!  If you still have questions about the <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market</a></strong> and would like to learn more about the <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty/index.cfm?action=searchresults&amp;searchkey=42dccc5d-e6ed-7982-24c1-7ce9bf7283f1&amp;npp=10" target="_blank">homes currently available on Lake Nacimiento</a></strong>, I would love to meet with you and discuss your options.  Let’s make the dream of buying a home on Lake Nacimiento come true!</p>

<strong> </strong></p>
<p>A recent report from Money.CNN.com, notes that home affordability has drastically improved since the housing market boom.  While renting seemed to be the better option the past few years, we’re seeing a shift in renting prices that’s causing an increase in home sales.  According to the government’s Consumer Price Index, renting is now more expensive than <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/buyers.php" target="_blank">buying a home</a></strong> in many areas around the country.</p>
<p>National Association of Realtors chief economist, Lawrence Yun, predicted that this year we’ll see the highest affordability condition in 40 years!  This news, however, is not meant to encourage <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/buyers.php" target="_blank">buyers</a></strong> to wait for prices to drop even lower, because there’s no guarantee that will take place.  In fact, as home prices stabilize and our economy continues to get back on its feet; home prices will only increase from here.</p>
<p>You’ve probably seen headlines that note the decrease in activity for home builders, but this news has a silver lining as the supply and demand of homes is finding a balance.  While many choose to build a new <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty/index.cfm?action=searchresults&amp;searchkey=ffeed865-df96-08b1-c3de-54a9ae32a1cd&amp;npp=10" target="_blank">home on Lake Nacimiento</a></strong>, there are many great homes currently available on the <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market</a></strong> at very affordable prices.  <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/buyers.php" target="_blank">Buying a home</a> </strong>that is on the market helps to keep the supply and demand in check and will help the housing market on its way to recovery.</p>
<p>If you have been thinking about <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty/index.cfm?action=searchresults&amp;searchkey=ffeed865-df96-08b1-c3de-54a9ae32a1cd&amp;npp=10" target="_blank">buying a home in Heritage Ranch or Oak Shores</a></strong>, you’ll want to take advantage of the current <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market</a></strong>!  Each week, new homes are coming onto the market, which means there are a variety of options!  As a <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/staff.php" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent</a></strong>, my goal is to help match up buyers with a <strong><a href="http://www.oakshoresrealty.com/buyers.php" target="_blank">Lake Nacimiento home</a></strong> that fits their needs, lifestyle and budget!  I’d enjoy the opportunity to talk with you and show you some of the <strong><a href="http://www.mlsfinder.com/ca_ccrmls/oakshoresrealty/index.cfm?action=searchresults&amp;searchkey=ffeed865-df96-08b1-c3de-54a9ae32a1cd&amp;npp=10" target="_blank">homes on Lake Nacimiento</a></strong>.  Feel free to contact me anytime to get started!</p>
