. Harvard Business Review says Having a Dog Can Save Your Heart – Literally – and I agree!
Caution: If you think you may have a breed restricted dog or a few, check the particular Valencia you’re interested in first. Do your due diligence. Don’t rely on what someone told you, the listings or whatever! They are often wrong. Find out from the source. Because while the Valencias are 55+ pet-friendly gated communities, they may not be pet friendly to all breeds.
There is very low inventory in the Valencias at this time, but there are still homes to be had. Days on market are way down. If you see a home you like, grab it because it may not be there later. Read on and you will see.
Prices do vary from one Valencia community to another but, in my opinion, you can still get a great deal if you’re not looking for new and willing to do some work If you’re willing to take a resale versus new, you will do much better on price. And maybe location too. Some of the houses in the Valencias are barely 10-15 years old.
Buyer Beware
The builder has raised prices considerably in the past several years, but there are a lot of great resale homes in other Valencia communities. You need a great agent to help you find the best deals – someone who is on your side not the builder’s side or the seller’s side. Don’t make the mistake of going directly to the builder or listing agent! Big mistake!
The builder does not negotiate so you might as well take a Buyer’s Agent with you – yes, even for new construction. Same thing with a resale – the listing agent on the sign has a contract with the seller to get them the highest price possible. Although they can work with you, how can they get you, the buyer, the best deal? The answer is simply, they can’t. Caveat Emptor! Buyer Beware!

New Construction
Interested in new construction? You need a buyer’s agent – Free to you! Builders do not negotiate on their homes. You may as well take a Buyer’s Agent with you – it’s free to you and may save you some money or offer some great suggestions. A real buyer’s agent – not someone who claims to be. I can help you with new construction as well as resales in Valencia.
You need someone on YOUR side. The builder is not on your side. The nice sales people in the office are not on your side – they are there to sell houses. Neither is the listing agent on the sign on your side. Take a few moments and read that article.
If you have a certain breed of dog, check which Valencia will accept him or her. Same thing goes for number of pets. Buyer Beware! Not every Valencia may be dog friendly to your specific breed of dog or two or three. Some have changed their pet restrictions through the years.
