Here are the Burbank home sales for September, October and November. If you look at the chart below, you’ll notice a few things. First, the number of new listings, while showing a brief spike in October is down. Average days on market is trending higher and the number that went under contract, or pending increased, most likely to all those buyers that were trying to get in before the initial November 30th deadline for the home buyer credit. Average list price is down and the percentage of sales price over list shows that homes are selling for very close to the listed price. This tells us that properties, for the most part, are being priced well and we’re not seeing huge discounts over the list price. Average sales prices are down from September levels, and seem to be adjusting back to t... 12/10/2009

Escrow is a process that evolved to ensure protection for all parties to a real estate transaction.  A "neutral third party" or "stakeholder" was nominated to hold the funds until the purchaser received appropriate assurance that the property had been transferred.  An escrow may also be created for other purchases, although it is most commonly used during the transfer of real estate.  Today the escrow is overseen by an escrow officer employed by an independent escrow company or title company.  All parties are protected because the escrow holder will retain funds and document until all of the instructions are fulled. An escrow is created when money and/or documents are deposited with the escrow officer.  The escrow Officer's authority is strictly governed by written instructions, mutuall... 11/16/2009

We are in a recession, wait I think they are saying we are out. Doesn't really matter on an individual basis because you can choose to participate in a recession or adapt and go about living your life. I choose to adapt.

The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) ruled this week against the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena (Bob Hope Airport) Authority's application for a mandatory curfew from 10pm-6:59am.  The news released this week, for those of you, like me, who have been following this issue for many years is disheartening, but not surprising. To give you some background, Burbank, Los Angeles and Glendale residents have been advocating for this curfew since the 1970's.  There is currently a voluntary curfew in place, but residents would like to make it mandatory as they see a risk of increased air traffic in the future. On the good news front, this was the first application ever to make it through the entire FAA review process.  The problem is that if the FAA rules for this curfew, then other smaller airpor... 11/06/2009
