Testimonials
""I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent service you provided when you assisted me in selling my home and purchasing another home. Your knowledge of the housing market enabled me to sell my home for a fair price in a very short amount of time. My home was on the market less than 2 weeks when I received a cash offer for it. Your professionalism in handling each transaction of the selling and buying aspects went far and above my expectations. Both your work ethic and willingness to put in long hours, is very appreciated. When I had questions or concerns, you were available even late at night. When I accepted the offer on my home, I needed to find another home in a short amount of time. You located many homes in my price range with the features I was looking for. You kept in close contact with my lender and offered suggestions to me to make for a smooth transition. With your assistance, I was able to find the exact kind of home I was looking for in less than 3 weeks. Your efficiency in setting up all my appointments for home inspection, roof inspection, plumbing inspection, etc. with your network of companies is amazing. This experience is one that I will never forget and am truly grateful. Your house warming gift to me was very thoughtful and I am enjoying it with my friends and family! You have continued to check in periodically to ensure that my relocation is going well.
Thank you again!""

Chris & Maria Jeantet answered:
We relocated from southern California almost five years ago and haven't looked back! You'll love it here, especially if you have a family. To answer your question, there are some well maintained neighborhoods throughout Redding, specifically on the NE, SE and West part of town. I recommend houses in the following communites:
1. Country Oaks (NE) - affordable and very family oriented, homes w/character, built in late 80's, early 90's
2. Ridgewood Estates (NE) - convenient location, houses on hills, built in the 1990's, nice area
3. Gold Hills (NE) - Golf community built in the 1990's with some newer homes
4. Alder Creek (NE) - newer homes built in 2004/2005, walking distance to Mountain View middle school and walking trails, great location.
5. Ravenwood (NE Redding) - smaller size homes (1500/1600 avg.sq.ft.) - 1990's, much more affordable than the above 4 areas ($250,000).
6. As to my favorite SE neighborhoods, I recommend Carriage Glen, Silver Creek, Western Ranches, Saratoga Estates and Copper Creek.
7. The West part of town is very desirable (a little more pricey), although you can find some incredible deals in some pocket areas that hold their value over time. Look for houses in Mary Lake, Sunset Terrace, Sunset West, Lake Side (new development), Ridgeview and Riverpark Highlands.
There's a house in Riverpark Highlands for $299,000, 3/2, 1,600 sq.ft. just a few streets over from another house listed at $925,000 - that's the kind of neighborhood I look for when representing clients.
I hope this was helpful.

Hi Jill,
The house on Valparaiso is located in the Grant School district. The closest high school is Shasta High. Also, there is another house on that street (16287 Valparaiso) that is currently for sale. It's a mediterranean-style house with 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom house build last year and 3,212 sq.ft. (and great views of Mt. Shasta), seller wants $749,000 for it and it's been on the market since February. It is vacant by the way if you wanted to drive out there. We are available to show it to you also. If you get a chance, our website has a list of homes on the west side of town with similar features.
Let us know if you need any other information (530) 510-8880

One thing to keep in mind is that it never hurts to go back and resubmit an offer if your first written offer was rejected. Many times, sellers reject offers if they're too low (especially if they just put the house on the market) so it's good to give it a few weeks even up to two months and if they haven't had any offers they may just reconsider your original one. Your Realtor should be able to walk you through all this.

Hi Gerald,
You ask a real good questions, one most people are wondering about. While our market didn't get over-built (like Sacramento) and other areas, Redding is still facing a down-trend on home values and it doesn't look like it's going to stop just yet. We expect prices to continue declining through 2008 and into 2009. We predict a plateau sometime in mid to late 2009, making 2010 the turning point. While this is good if you're a buyer (better deals), you also have to keep in mind the interest rates are slowly rising, at the end you have to ask yourself if it was worth waiting. If you haven't bought but you're planning on it, do it while interest rates are at low levels (assuming you're not paying cash).
We hope this was helpful to you. Feel free to contact us if you have further questions.
