- 0:00well we're Friday here in Santa Clarita we are at March 14th, 2025 good day everybody we're gonna talk about Santa Clarita Open Houses right now there's about 163 that have been posted up at Santa Clarita openhouses com you can see all of those and you'll be able to walk through the entire property look at the virtual tour the photographs in addition on there you'll have a mortgage calculator because it is kind of important to figure out where your payments are going to be in conjunction with the prices that the properties offer not just a listing price but the prices of the homeowners associations also you'll be able to see some ideas with regard to property taxes and also melarus representations there but always always when you into escrow as a real estate buyer make sure you do get a verification and explicit verification as far as what those melarus and additional taxes maybe or actually are on that particular property not maybe you need to know going in and I would find that out very close to the beginning of an escrow process so you know how to best plan financially for the property because in some cases depending on where the property is located in Santa Clarita those melarous could be more than paying double taxes we do have some areas out here that are that high in the melarus amounts and those melarus they do continue for a very long time in some cases 20 30 or more years you wanna know that going in so you know how to best plan financially and if in fact that's too much to bite off for a particular purchase you can come back and say you know what I'm not interested and a lot of this can be done beforehand but sometimes time of is of the essence some people really need to move a lot faster and that research there's not a lot of time to get it done it's hard to foresee that kind of a scenario but it's gonna depend on the property some things move within hours so just ask your agent and fall back on their expertise and knowledge and understand this is going to give you a lot of relaxation a lot of confidence if in fact it doesn't happen it wasn't meant to be and that's something that I have to rely on with every client because you just never know if it's going to work and if it's meant to be there's nothing that's gonna stop you from getting it and in fact we see properties coming around a second time after a client might have lost out on the first bid because the seller got over anxious and chose maybe a buyer that wasn't or didn't pack the to actually finish the escrow process pulling out for whatever reason not because of a seller issue but because of their own financial misgivings actually pulling out of the real estate the property comes back on the market and because it was meant to be for my particular buyer boom they get it there in escrow they close and there happy as a clam I'm Connor with honor that's your advice today be well look at Santa Clarita openhouses.com to see everything
