Grounded a Coffee Establishment with Wi-Fi in Sherman Oaks, CA The landscape of Coffee shops has changed in the Greater Los Angeles area. I can remember when there were hardly any good coffee establishments anywhere in Los Angeles. Then there was the assent of the big green chain from Washington State. All of a sudden it was ‘cool’ and ‘hip’ to have a latte or a cappuccino in the Greater Los Angeles area. Now this then morphed into which neighborhoods could have the best coffee shops and competition just grew. All of a sudden business was being conducted in every coffee establishment that had Wi-Fi. On a side note I remember in the 1980’s conducting business with Martini’s with side carsJ. The good news is we do not drive to endanger ourselves nor our communities now days.  Then again s... 05/25/2014

The Lobsta Truck: an impromptu meet up in Sherman Oaks, CA Diane and I were spending time with her dog and all of a sudden Diane was in the mood for a cup of coffee. Needless to say as most of you know I am always on the lookout for new coffee shops. I pulled in front of a Coffee Establishment (a blog for later) and Diane said did you see the Lobsta Truck? Well how could I miss it? I was focused on coffee establishments.    Five car lengths behind me there was the Lobsta Truck   http://la.lobstatruck.com/  well needless to say we had to stop all activity and head over there. Reluctantly we both decided we wanted just a quick cup of Clam Chowder before our coffee.  We have often had their Lobster Roll, clearly brings us back to our East Coast Days. The Lobster Roll is overflowing with Lo... 05/25/2014

Greedy Home Sellers + Cautious Home Buyers = Flat Market    More & more indicating factors are leading us to a cooling off of the crazy hot market we experienced in Southern Cal for all of 2013. Recent surveys show that over 40% of Home Sellers this spring are planning to price their homes ABOVE market value! This strategy is not wise folks! Buyers in today's market have very little tolerance for over-priced homes this year and will likely pass them up letting listing after listing sit on the market stagnant until the Seller is forced to take action by lowering the price, or removing it from the market all together. Several Sellers are deciding to lease their unsold homes for the time being as well.    Greedy Home Sellers + Cautious Home Buyers = Flat Market   If Sellers do choose to o... 05/19/2014

Affordability Vanishing in Prime Markets! If you want to live in one of the major metro areas across the country, you might be noticing that buying into the most popular neighborhoods is no longer feasible as the market has now corrected itself to the point that affordability is now becoming a major issue in many major markets. Some families have begun to dedicate huge portions of their monthly income to housing nowadays! Over the last several years when prices were up to 30% lower in some areas, people were able to purchase homes in areas they could only dream of only a few years prior. But now, as home prices have appreciated tremendously at a rapid rate, people's incomes have not increased along with property values so many people find themselves priced out of the market and begin lo... 04/11/2014

SPRING HASN'T QUITE SPRUNG IN SUNNY SO CAL!? No April fooling....Generally, the spring selling season is the prime time in Residential Real Estate because most families with school aged children like to do their home shopping, close escrow, and get all settled in before school starts! In the Los Angeles area, schools are starting earlier the last couple years in mid August, so it has seemed to push the buying rush forward as well! Last year in February & March of 2013 I was seeing 30+ offers on some of my listings, and competing against even more than that on some of the hottest listings. One home my clients bid all cash $30k over asking, only to get beat out by much higher offers and that particular home sold $130,000 over asking!! SPRING HASN'T QUITE SPRUNG IN SUNNY SO CAL!? This year... 04/01/2014

The 2014 Disappearing Distressed Market I'll never forget the weekly office meeting in 2007 when my first short sale emerged and all of the more experienced agents in the office who had dealt with short sales in past markets began to cringe and brace themselves for impact.  All I could say was, "what is a short sale?"  I was 5 years into my career at the time and I thought I had a lot of deals under my belt and considered myself experienced yet had never heard the term short sale. So from that day on up until recently, my business grew to consist of approximately 60% distressed sales and foreclosures.  Needless to say, I have become an expert on short sales in the last 7 years.  I am not sad to see them go, LOL! The 2014 Disappearing Distressed Market California's distressed housing mar... 03/14/2014
