Sometimes it takes a few days for the listings to show up but you should contact the customer service department to inquire if you are still having problems. There are many other sites to list your rental and you might consider talking to property management companies too.

Hi Diane, Oak Park is a great area and Barry has provided you with info in the MLS about rental properties there. I would also recommend checking Craigslist as many landlords do not place the property with a Realtor. With so many people looking for a rental, they frequently do not need to pay professional fees to find a qualified tenant. BE careful, there are a lot of scams so, if a deal looks to good to be true, ask more questions. Be cautious to provide deposits unless you are sure you are dealing with the owner and it seems like everything is clear and business-like. If there are red flags, pay attention to them.
Also, If you can afford a rental in Oak Park, I would encourage you to make sure you are not in a position to buy. Rates are very good and you will make considerable rental payments towards someone else mortgage. I completely agree that there are good reasons to rent but I just thought I'd put that out there.... more
It certainly depends on the day of the week, weather and time of day -- along with 'not-so-predictable' accidents and road construction. Here is an excellent tool to study the traffic patterns over the time periods of your planned commute: http://www.sigalert.com/map.asp?region=Los+Angeles#lat=33.98417&lon=-118.22335&z=2 The traffic information comes from many different sources. In California, freeway speeds are primarily collected by Caltrans from sensors embedded in the roads. SigAlert downloads the raw speed data from them and displays it on their site in a (hopefully) easy to use format.
Los Angeles speed data comes courtesy of the Regional Integration of Intelligent Transportation Systems (RIITS) which is sponsored the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro).... more
Leo,
Going by the number of homeowners behind on their mortgage currently, it is hard to say that the market has a positive aspect to it in the future. It's hard for a Realtor to suggest sell or wait, but ask for MLS data and you can make the decision for yourself. It's difficult to determine what is expected because we are trained to base things off of what is active and sold, not what is coming.
I hope this helps, it's a tough situation.... more
I recently inspected one of Sim's listings in this area. I found just a few things and not very expensive repairs. Rare for me because I really pick a house apart. I suppose if I moved from Agoura Hills, Oak Park would be my next choice.... more
Hi Sid,
I strongly recommend that you contact Joe Nermber with Amerispec. He is the local CREIA chapter president and a resident in the Agoura/Oak Park area. If anyone knows about this issue, he will be able to assist you. You can find him here on Trulia or his cell number is (818) 292-7242
I notice that you list yourself as a home seller. If you arent already working with someone regarding your plans to sell, please contact me directly.... more
Definitely! If you do not NEED to buy immediately (due to a long commute, tax reasons, etc.), you should wait. The market will stabilize once home prices realign will household incomes. The correction will continue until home prices are affordable. We still have a mininmum 10% and up to 20-25% correction. The money you save today by paying less tomarrow will enable you to enjoy your retirement years with greater equity.... more
