I read statistics every day about how home sales are up or home sales are down or predictions that home sales will recover or predictions that homes sales won't recover. I'm in the business of real estate and I can't figure out what all these numbers mean. However, I did see some statistics that caught my eye and actually did make sense to me. Everyday so far in 2011: 13,780 homes sell in the United States 72 homes sell in Orange County, Ca 500 homes sell every week in Orange County, Ca 2000 homes sell every month in Orange County, Ca I speak with buyer's and sellers nearly everyday who are on the fence about buying or selling a home.

One of my most favorite things to do not just in Orange County, CA. but something you can do wherever you are at is find your local Starbucks, Coffee Bean Tea Leaf, Pete's, etc. get your coffee drink of choice (which mine is usually one of the three.. Just a coffee, sometimes hot sometimes ice based upon the weahter outside, an iced Americano, 4 shots of espresso over water and ice, or a skinny vanilla latte, fat free milk, sugar free vanilla over 2 shots of espresso). Today I am just chilling out at a Starbucks in Huntington Beach, CA. and it's a cold rainy day outside and I couldn't think of a more perfect place to be to do my work.
