Even though it is April 1st, 2009, this is not an April Fools Joke. These are the actual numbers for the Month of March 2009.  As I reported last month there has been an increase of Active Listings compared to the January numbers. The trend continues. Currently there are now 60 Active Listings compared to 55 Actives Listings in February. This is an increase of by 9.2% (see last months Market Report http://activerain.com/blogsview/960983/Playa-Vista-CA-Market-Report-for-February-2009  ) As you see the inventory is continuing to get larger.  Now let us focus on the number of properties that are in Escrow and the ones that closed:  Currently there are 5 accepting back up offers vs. last month there were 4 and in January only 2. As you can see this trend is on the upswing as well.  These ... 04/01/2009

One of my clients asked why I have not been providing Market Reports for the Playa Vista community. I explained that there has been another agent who has been doing that. My client informed me that this person has not done it in three months or longer. Hence, since there is a need, let me provide it. By the way if you are interested in Market Data for any other area, feel free to contact me directly and I will be more then happy to provide it for you.  For January 2009 there were 51 Active Listings on the market in this semi private community.

A few people have written about this very unique Urban Community, One can not say enough good things. This is the first Planned Urban Development in Los Angeles for over fifty years.  What makes this neighborhood community so unique? There are about ten Parks, open space, a Library, Restaurants, coffee shops I can go on and on. Today I will talk about five of the Parks in this great semi private community.   1. Fountain Park, as the name implies, there is a colorful fountain surrounded with a patio and tables. (This park reminds me of a European center of town).  2. Crescent Park, every time when I drive by, I see residents walking their dogs, parents playing with small children, or adults playing Frisbee. No other place comes to mind where there is such a site in LA outside of Roxbury ... 11/05/2008

I find it is becoming rare to get Great, Good or just any kind of Customer Service. Many years ago we were a nation of Manufacture, and then we shifted to the Service Industry, now it appears we have shifted to No Service.  In this Global Economy, I see not just locally, but  around the world we are loosing Customer Service as well. The reason I am bringing this up, I just experienced one of the worst customer service in a while. I have been meaning to address this issue in a post, but there were other issues more pressing. It does not matter what type of business, I see less and less good service. We are becoming a nation of rude, entitled people. That cashier, that manager do they not understand that we have choices and in this economy they can not afford to be rude and not carrying? ... 10/22/2008
