About the Historic Plymouth, California Area |  | | Sutter Creek |
Known as the "gateway to the Shenandoah Valley"--Amador County’s wine district--the lovely small town of Plymouth is home to many wonderful wineries. Plymouth is situated in the heart of the Sierra Nevada Gold Country, where there are many historic towns and interesting places to visit as well as many recreational opportunities such as fishing, boating, hiking, and more. Amador County, one of the most beautiful recreation areas in all of California, boasts many beautiful forests, rivers, and lakes. A wonderful place to live! Residents of the Sierra Nevada foothills enjoy not only a high quality of living but a low cost of living--good reasons the area is one of the fastest-growing in California. Through the 1990s, Plymouth's population has grown by about 21%, and it is estimated that its population has been growing at the rate of 2.2 percent a year. Today, Plymouth’s population is 980. 
Location The city of Plymouth is located on the northern edge of Amador County in California on historic Highway 49 near the El Dorado County line, about 35.8 miles from Sacramento and 43.6 miles from Stockton. Amador County in beautiful Northern California is nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. The Sierra Nevada (Spanish for "Snowy Range") is a mountain range in the eastern portion of California. Gold Country (also known as Mother Lode Country), famed for its mineral deposits and gold mines, lies along California State Highway 49, stretching from Mariposa County in the south to Sierra County in the north. It includes parts of Amador, Butte, Calaveras, El Dorado, Mariposa, Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, Sierra and Tuolumne Counties. Mother lode is a term associated with the mining of gold and silver. The area contains hundreds of mines, and was one of the most productive gold-producing districts in the United States during the famous gold-rush era. Brief History The California Gold Rush began when particles of gold were first discovered by foreman James W. Marshall while building a lumber mill for Sacramento pioneer John Sutter along the American River. As rumors spread, waves of fortune seekers, to the tune of about 300,000 people, fled to California from all over the world. Called "forty-niners", seekers from everywhere traveled across the United States to California by ship and by covered wagon, often with great hardship. And unfortunately, though billions of dollars worth of gold was discovered, only a few became wealthy. In the process, San Francisco, which had been a tiny settlement before the gold rush, soared from a population of about 1,000 residents in 1848 to 25,000 by 1850! Plymouth was settled by Green Aden and others in search of gold, and the town grew because of the good mines there. Plymouth was established in 1871 and took a sudden jump in population when the mines were purchased by Hayward Mills and company in 1873. Amador County (Spanish for “one who loves”) was created in 1854. The county is named after Jose Maria Amador, who in 1848 created a gold-mining camp near what is today Amador City. |  | | | Plymouth | |

Accepting An Offer >Purchase Negotiations
If you are selling your home, you should be prepared for the day your first offer comes in. When your real estate agent calls to say there is an offer on your home, you will naturally get excited. When your agent describes the offer, you will probably experience an adrenaline rush. Whether the offer is good or bad, you should just remain calm--and discuss a counter-offer with your agent. The negotiations of a purchase begin with the buyer's ideal terms and a counter offer that communicates the seller's ideal terms.
A good agent will look beyond the price when evaluating an offer. If the buyers' financial qualifications are shaky or the offer includes potentially problematic terms or conditions, your real estate agent should be there to minimize any risk to you and to address these items in your counter-offer. Your agent's job is not to make a decision for you, but to be sure that you understand fully what the offer includes and what is expected.
