It’s official. We’ve had a month of colder than usual weather interrupted only by a four day stint of hotter than usual days in the middle of May.

Last I heard there were four offers being submitted.       MIDWAY AV, Daly City 94015 (Daly City)$500,000 Bed...

We thought this home was the best deal this week. It's in a great area of the Belmont hills on the west side. Carmelita is known for having a warm micro-climate. For $699,000 this price is hard to beat. It has a larger than normal rear yard which is level--a rare find in the Belmont hills. Call u...
