I was pleasantly surprised that one appraiser in Whittier, CA that was referred to me by a listing agent is working full-time on July 4th and is even appraising properties in Riverside. His business is terrific as he works 7 days including weekends and holidays. I didn't ask him if he works on religious holidays as well.
So, there is still good business out there for FHA appraisers especially in Riverside County where flippers are roaming and buyers are multiple-bidding for homes less than $150,000 ranges.

Riverside is crazy as investors from all areas around it are buying investment properties. We have Chinese buyers coming in purchasing 10-20 at a time. CA cash flows again!
Picked up condo for $61,000 and it gets $1200/mo rent - $220 HOA, not bad! |

I am doing one purchase in Perris on a house that was listed for $114,900 and buyer lost his job to close escrow. Now this property has been re-appraised by the same appraiser for $123,000 today based on new closed comps. This illustrates that the value has bottomed out and this property has increased in value by $9,000 since last March 09.
My realtor is telling me that although demand is hot but it skewed in that it concentrates on good properties with move-in condtions between $100,000 to $150,000 only. More than 90% of the listings are still not moving. Those few good properties evoke multiple offers that drive up the prices beyond the realistic appraisable values.
