Oceano is one of California true beach towns. It is not saturated with deliberate commercialism, yet still sports cutesy names like Beach, Ocean and Surf Ave on its streets. Off the beaten path of Highway 101, Oceano instead straddles the scenic route, Highway 1. Known for the Oceano Dunes, a sand dune area of the coastline preserved for off road vehicle recreation and exploration, Oceano attracts many from the inland areas who seek to beat the heat.
Buyers often wonder if it it is preferable to be pre-qualified or pre-approved for a mortgage loan before shopping for a home. At a minimum, I require buyers to get pre-qualified before they begin looking for a home, because otherwise they are truly taking a stab in the dark. However, a pre-approval is preferable, especially if your income and credit situation is complex. A pre-qualification is a rough estimate of what you will qualify for, the bank is making only a tenatative statement about the loan you would qualify for if everything stacks up the way you think it will.
I attended a foreclosed home property auction hosted by Hudson & Marshall in Ventura last evening. Fortunately, my client was successful in his bid so it was worth the trip down for both of us. He was also able to save about $80,000 off the list price of the property. It was an exciting event and we were both still on a high while we waited with the other winners to sign contracts. All the winning bids are subject to investor/bank approval which will take about 5-7 days to obtain, so we will know if the deal will stick in about a week.
