As a Stockton native I always miss the hot summer days and warm evenings when the weather changes in October. I enjoy playing a late round of golf until 8 PM, mowing the lawn or other outside chores in the late evening hours of summer. It won’t be long before we have to turn the clocks back an hour to standard time. Gee…will I adjust?
Yes! With the cooler weather of autumn and the first winter storm of the season the San Joaquin River Delta comes alive for the fisherman. The fish start moving around and feeding to get ready for winter. The temperature of the water changes, the swimmers and water skiers are gone, the striped bass run is on. Let’s go fishing!
The Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta is an example of an inverted river delta, one of only a few worldwide. The delta consists of myriad small natural and man-made channels (locally called sloughs), creating a system of isolated lowland islands and wetlands defined by dikes or levees. The total area is around 1,100 square miles, around 70 reclaimed islands and tracts, surrounded by 1,100 miles of levees surrounded by 700 miles of waterways. The delta was originally marshland; reclamation was made by the building of levees, by Chinese laborers in the 1850s. Read more…”Thousand Miles of Waterways”

Almost every home I have listed in the last six months or so was priced properly according to the most recent real estate data (comps). But also, almost every home received one or more offers at and sometimes above the asking price! What does all this mean? Am I working harder and better than all the other Realtors? Is my marketing that much more superior than the other real estate companies? I would like to say yes, but most likely all of us in the business are having the same results. Properties are selling quickly, if priced correctly to the market place and there are plenty of buyers who are ready, willing and able to buy.
Stockton CA Residential real estate inventory is low and we have lots of buyers who want to buy now!

In San Joaquin County, historically very low mortgage interest rates have combined with very low prices driven by foreclosures which brought out all the buyers in bunches. Now, we seem to be running out of inventory! Where is are all the new foreclosure listings? That’s what all the Stockton REALTORS® are asking about now, especially since we all have learned how to work with and get along with banks and asset managers. We have the lowest number of homes on the market since 2005. Well, if you think the foreclosures are done, just drive around town and try and count all the vacant houses!
RealtyTrac: April foreclosures rise 32 percent…MIAMI — The number of U.S. households faced with losing their homes to foreclosure jumped 32 percent in April compared with the same month last year, with Nevada, Florida and California showing the highest rates, according to data released Wednesday.
More than 342,000 households received at least one foreclosure-related notice in April, RealtyTrac Inc. said. That means one in every 374 U.S. housing units received a foreclosure filing last month, the highest monthly rate since the Irvine, Calif.-based foreclosure listing firm began its report in January 2005.
April was the second straight month with more than 300,000 households receiving a foreclosure filing, as the number of borrowers with mortgage troubles failed to abate.
