Today I came across an excellent article via Twitter; Missy Caulk directed me to it and I'm glad she did because it is another wonderful piece on Selling Your Home in a Buyer's Market by Bill Gassett of Massachussetts. One thing I particularly find interesting is his advice on selecting an agent....

It doesn't happen often but when it does, it's breathtaking. Saddleback Mountain is the backdrop for South Orange County. If you live in Mission Viejo or Rancho Santa Margarita, the views are spectacular. Here is a rare glimpse of Saddleback with snow sent to me this morning from a wonderful past...

This week Jonathon Lansner did his recap of the Dataquick report on the Orange County real estate market. Where are we today? And what does it really mean? The Median Sale Price as reported by Dataquick for a home in the OC was $400,000 - which brings us back to May of 2003 if you're tracking the...

The '60 Minutes' piece speculates that we are about halfway through this housing crisis. According to the show, the first wave of this crisis was made up of sub...

When I was a kid, and while in college as an adult, it was not unusual to get bundled up, carry hot cocoa in thermoses (might not have been cocoa in college....but I digress), and head out into the woods to cut down our Christmas Tree.

If you need a Realtor in the Boston, Massachusetts area, Mike's your guy. His suggestion to agents -be the third agent - first. My suggestion ...

In the latest Zippy's Report, Orange County Register's Jonathon Lansner's ranking of Orange County zip codes for housing performance, showed that the hardest hit zip codes for the 3rd quarter were some of Orange County's most affluent zip codes.  Included in the worst performing areas were Newpor...

My last post had quite a heated debate on Active Rain (which I dig BTW).  How do you educate clients about when to buy? I did some research for a client tonight. The findings are important to share with readers here.  If you are a serious buyer or seller, this information is telling.  Please stic...

Last weekend, I went into an Open House with one of my buyers that is really struggling with the 'Rent versus Buy' decision.  The listing agent handed us an article by Orange County Register's Jonathon Lanser that shared the good news that home sales was up nearly 60% from a year ago.  In the wor...

Every now and then you see a headline touting the increase in sales in Orange County.  Less than a week ago, Orange County Register's Jon Lanser posted '1-in-3 O.C. ZIPs See Homebuying Doubling or Better'.   I love good news but it's important to drill deep into what these statistics are telling ...
