I received a call today from Pedro Morlet in regards to Vineyard Place in Napa County, CA.

According to their website, Vineyard Place, located in American Canyon, is a charming new home community of move-in ready and fully upgraded homes priced from the low $500,000s. And unlike other communities in the area, there are NO Home Owner Association Fees! With a four bedroom and three bath layout, this community features the options and amenities you're looking for and, and a premier location that puts convenience just outside your door.

Pedro and I are talking about how we might increase exposure for Vineyard Place on the Internet and in Napa, CA. Developers and new home builders often find it difficult to obtain good search engine results for key real estate search terms.

This is because Realtors, Brokers and Real Estate Agents are responsible for some of the most prolific sites on the Internet vying for local search results. Getting a new site like Vineyard Place to rank high on Google for terms like:

• Napa REal Estate
• Napa California Real Estate
• Napa CA New Homes
• Napa California New Homes
• Homes for Sale in Napa California

Will be almost impossible for a new home builder or developer because it takes time to build power under a site or “Google Juice” as it is often referred to.

When I moved out here and joined Craig and Tracey in their real estate business, I was given one prime directive – Get our site to the top of Google. We’re getting there. I just Googled – san ramon real estate – and see that our site comes up in the #2 spot.

It’s taken two years of consistent effort to accomplish that and build our traffic to the point it is today – 6000+ unique visitors a month.

I don’t see anyone in Napa, CA or American Canyon employing our Internet marketing strategy for real estate. There could be a real opportunity for a motivated savvy Realtor or real estate agent that wants to dominate Google for real estate searches in Napa, but it will take time to build it.

This is a race where the tortoise wins not the hare.

I look forward to hearing more from Pedro Morlet about their hopes and plans for Vineyard Place in Napa. It looks like a nice new home development and the prices look appealing.

Craig and I were up in Napa this morning to hold our new listing at 22 Glory Court open for the North Bay Association of Realtors brokers tour. The NorBay Realtors meeting was well attended. We had a couple dozen agents come by 22 Glory Court and had some good interaction with Napa Realtors and affiliates.

John Tuteur, Napa County Tax Assessor, talked to the local real estate agents and affiliates about the current Napa real estate market and some of the guidelines around transfer of the base tax value when you sell a proeprty and buy another.

John mentioned that in 1998 there were 101 foreclosures for the year in Napa county. In 1999, the number of foreclosures for the year was 46. In 2008, there have been 40+ foreclosures per month in Napa county! John, like many other professionals associated with the real estate industry, was quick to note that this is unchartered territory for us all as the underlying dynamics are not historic.

John Tuteur also mentioned that if you are going to sell and move up, and you want to leverage the transfer of the base year value tax – sell first. When you sell first, you can realize a 5% adjustment for inflation. If you wait a year and a day, you can realize a 12% adjustment for inflation. Check with John’s office for the specifics.

John mentioned that every evening he reads the local paper and when he sees anything that might effect a reduction of a local taxpayer’s tax base, he clips the article and gives it to his staff to follow up on. John Tuteur impressed me as the type of civil servant we could use more of.

We asked many of the Napa Realtors their opinion of the Napa real estate market and most replied it is still faily sluggish. Hopefully, the warmer weather will bring some liveliness back to the market.
