ASSEMBLY BILL 957 "Buyers Choice Act", Oct 27, 2009

Governor Schwarzenegger signed Assembly Bill 957 into law on October 13, 2009.

Prior to this law, banks and lenders that took possession of homes after they went through the foreclosure process were requiring the buyers of those REO homes to use only the escrow companies with which they had contracts with, no matter who was paying for the service. In some instances, this meant that the buyers could have ended up paying more from an out of area provider than what was charged by a local company

WASHINGTON, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Don't look now but mortgage rates are really, really low -- practically at record low levels. Homeowners who still have adequate equity might want to jump on this and refinance one more time. Or start using their home equity line again. Or switch to a fixed-rate loan. Or give up on their plans to pay off their home quickly and stretch it out as long as possible.       Read the Full Story.....

Early in the twentieth century, scorching inland heat in the summer drove vacationers to this small flat basin. Eventually, a small village rose beside the sea, its year-round residents taking advantage of a prime opportunity to live in a paradise that others can only visit. This coastal area is still complemented by a resort feeling that keeps everyone smiling. You'll notice it as you stroll through the village, or even as you huff and puff up eucalyptus-lined roadways past the magnificent homes toward the breathtaking views from the clifftops.

Amazing sunsets contribute to the peace and serenity that can only be found at day's end here, a lifestyle seldom found anywhere else. Today, Laguna's "village" character and charm still remain, in spite of growth, appreciation of real estate, and encroaching commercialism. The area continues to be the artistic capital of Orange County and a major hub of the arts community and is also home to the internationally renowned Festival of the Arts, also referred to as the Pageant of the Masters. 

Also, the relative isolation in which Laguna Beach exists, surrounded by mountains, ocean, and greenbelts, keeps the town uniquely different from neighboring cities. This geography makes it unlikely that we will ever be absorbed into Orange County's megalopolis. Concerned citizens work hard to acquire land just to have it preserved for its beauty and to be left untouched. Other groups work hard to promote laws that inhibit change. True, Laguna Beach has become a bustling resort town with locals and visitors alike strolling the new public park, exploring the coves and enjoying the sunsets much like the aboriginals, Spaniards and early artists did, but the artistic spirit prevails, and it seems likely that the area's charm will endure for a long time to come.

The universal allure is best expressed on the famous gate from 1935 that stands at the intersection of Park and Forest. It reads, "This gate hangs well and hinders none, refresh and rest, then travel on."
