I'm not sure if they're all "Northern" California. Mostof them are located around San Fransico.1. Stockton-Lodi, CA 23.5%2. Modesto, CA 21.4%3. Salinas, CA 21.2%4. Santa Rosa, CA 18.3%5. Vallejo-Fairfield-Napa,CA 17.4%This data came from: http://www.homestore.com/Finance/HousePriceIndex/TopFive.asp?gate=homebuilder Outside of those five, the top five cities in the area you specifiedare:1. Chico-Paradise, CA 14.8%2. Redding, CA 9.6% 3. Medford-Ashland, OR 9.3% 4. Bremerton, WA 8.4% 5. Tacoma, WA 7.7% This date came from: http://www.homestore.com/Finance/HousePriceIndex/msa_ranking329.asp?gate=homebuilder For some reason, the links on that website do not work properly. Theyhave some sort of ASP error. However, you can see the cities andtheir appreciation rating.You should be able to look the HPA value by City/State at the belowwebsite, but it also gives an error. You may want to check back inthe future. They will probably have fixed the errors. http://www.homestore.com/Finance/HousePriceIndex/default.asp?gate=homebuilder Please note that this data is all based on the Home Price Index, whichis published by the government. The current reports show home priceappreciation through the second quarter of 2001.I found this information by searching Google from "home priceappreciation".

HOME LOAN? The two

Veteran Home Loans from the VA Mortgage Center 800-405-6682 Contact Why a VA Loan? Pre-Qualify VA Loan SHOULD I GET A VETERAN HOME LOAN? The two main reasons for using your eligibility to obtain a VA home loan are because it can save you a great deal of money and it is much easier for you to qualify for one of these loans at a low rate. Pre-qualify now for a VA Loan A VA Home Loan can save you money by giving you an excellent rate, with no monthly mortgage insurance. And since it is easier to qualify for a VA military loan as compared to a conventional mortgage, individuals with poor credit are given a large advantage by using their eligibility for a VA Loan. BENEFITS OF VETERAN HOME LOANS There is zero down payment required when purchasing a home. If you have bad credit, you are likely to get a much lower rate with a VA loan compared to a conventional loan (and if you have been improving your credit history for the past year, you may be able to get the same low interest rates that are available to those with good credit. Even with a Loan-to-Value of 100%, there is no monthly Mortgage Insurance required for a VA home loan. The VA mortgage loan is guaranteed with no money down for any loan up to $359,650. VA mortgage loans are often assumable. VA has released a hybrid ARM product. Veterans now have a choice of a Fixed rate or an Adjustable rate VA mortgage. Individuals with poor credit are more likely to qualify for a loan and, most of the time, you will see significant savings as a result of a lower rate on your loan (the VA also offers extra benefits for disabled veterans). Find out how much you can save with a VA Loan. ARE THERE ANY FEES FOR A VA MORTGAGE LOAN? There is a Funding Fee required by the Department of Veteran Affairs that varies between 0-3.3% of the amount of the military loan depending on your current Veteran Status. The funding fee is added into the total loan amount, so the borrower is not required to pay this out of pocket. To determine the exact funding fee, see the funding fee chart . Benefits for disabled veterans dictate that if you are 10% or more disabled due to active military service, you will not be required to pay a funding fee. Those which are required to have a funding fee may lower their fee by putting money down on their VA home purchase. WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO GET A VA LOAN You will need a certificate of eligibility to qualify. Whether you are a first time user or you have used your eligibility in the past, you must have your certificate. A certificate can be mailed directly to you if you fill out this short form . If you have your Certificate of Eligibility, you can Pre-qualify for a VA home purchase VA LOAN SPECIALIST If you have questions or if you want to determine if a Veteran Home Loan is actually the best financial decision for you, you may get advice from a VA mortgage specialist online or call 800-405-6682 .
