Steps for Buying a Home and Placentia Homes Market Update from Placentia Real Estate Expert Nic Petrossi

As of July 13, 2009 below is a list of all homes in Placentia that are regular sales, not short sales or bank owned. 

Call Nic Petrossi (714) 272-3646 with Prudential or email npetrossi@yahoo.com

Step #1:  Contact a Bank or Mortgage Broker to run (not ruin, run) your credit and get a Pre-Qualification Letter.  (these are sometimes referred to as a “Pre-Approval” letter). 

Step #2:  Contact Nic Petrossi to have him search for homes in the price range you have been pre-approved to buy in.

Step #3:  Buy a home in Placentia, Yorba Linda, Brea, Fullerton, Anaheim Hills.  (These cities (east side of Fullerton when you’re talking about Fullerton), have very few foreclosures and have been insulated from the “foreclosure anchors” that have been pulling down home prices all over the nation and even in other cities in Orange County.  Northeast Orange County is, in my opinion, one of the safest places to buy, physically, but also economically.

Placentia Schools & Yorba Linda Schools (Middle / High) API Scores for 2007

Although there are several important factors when deciding on a school for your children (location, demographics, calendar, etc.), the Academic Performance Index (API) standardized test is a measure of school performance and progress. Scores range from 200 to 1000.  A score above 800 is considered very good comparatively, and a score above 900 is considered extremely good or excellent in comparison to other schools statewide.

 

API ranks by school:

 

Bernardo Yorba Linda Middle  831

Travis Ranch Middle  No Accountability Report on Website

Yorba Linda Middle  841

Kraemer Middle  749

Valadez Middle  No Acountability Report

Tuffree Middle  822

 

El Dorado High  802

Esperanza High  837

Valencia High  758

 These scores are from each school’s Accountability Report posted on PYLUSD’s website…as a Placentia Realtor / Yorba Linda Realtor and Area Specialist, I make it my goal to be educated and informed on the boundary areas, schools and miscellaneous school info for my clients’ sakes.
