Goats on the Payroll in San Diego Renting goats for clearing brush has been a pretty popular thing to do for years. I first heard about renting goats to clear land from a buyer client way back in 2010. She was looking at rural properties with lots of brush, and we were discussing how to deal with it, goats being one solution. Turns out renting goats for clearing land is pretty popular. A quick Google search will yield all kinds of resources these days, like Rent a Goat that covers the state of California. We "met" this goat at the Surfing Goat Dairy in Kula, Maui Turns out our utility company, San Diego Gas and Electric (SDGE), a subsidiary of Sempra Energy, now has about 220 goats "on their payroll," so to speak, and is using them to clear flammable brush from areas around electric inf...

Most of you know that since the Pandemic Diane has been working from home as well. So what does that mean to me? Well there is competition who can walk Holly. There are times she is busy and other times I am busy. Well lucky for me she was busy so I walked Holly for her late afternoon stroll. As we stoped at this tree I did a double take and was wondering what kind of tree this was I never seen such a 'fruit tree' before.  So with that said can you tell me what species of tree this is? Maybe Ron and Alexandra Seigel would know they are good at naming exotic flower and fruits. Feel free to share what you  think in your comments:))))    Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, focused and goal-oriented Realtor in the ...

The Encina Power Station - Soon to be Only a Memory The Encina Power Plant, with its very obvious smokestack, has been an iconic landmark on the Carlsbad seacoast for decades.    It was constructed in the 1950s and was officially retired in December 11, 2018 and is being dismantled - the demolition began earlier this year. The new power station, the Carlsbad Energy Center, began operation on December 12, 2018.  Whether you like the look of the plant and the towering smokestack or not, it certainly grabs attention, and can be seen for miles from the freeway north and south, and other inland vantage points.  And of course beyond being a part of Carlsbad's history it's provided electricity for thousands of homes all these years.  Some residents are happy to see the power plant disappearing...

     April was much like March in the Elk Grove market so I am tempted to just say, "ditto," but I will do my best to add something new and intriguing.  Home prices are up 20% year over year.  Homes are going pending very quickly and there is not much supply.  The only difference from March is that prices are up in Elk Grove just over $10,000.  What does it take for buyers to get into contract?  Offers above listing price, cash or conventional loan offers, great terms and possibly a free month or two rent back period for the seller.      Is it possible to get an offer with an FHA or VA loan accepted?  It is a challenge, but my eXp Realty colleague, Marquita Ward-White, recently had two offers with VA loans accepted.  Her secret, all of the items above and great communications with the l...

 For many investing in real estate, the qualification requirements of traditional banks can be cumbersome.  Income documentation for self employed real estate investors can be a challenge.  Credit requirements can be difficult to overcome.  The speed of the transaction can be a hindrance.  The current condition of the property can be an issue.Getting a loan from a bank can be a trying experience; even qualified borrowers struggle to secure loans for financing their investment property.  When traditional loans will not get the job done and you need to close quickly and with certainty, hard money loans can be the most practical solution. What are the Benefits of Using Hard Money Loans?Usually, the interest rates are higher on hard money loans when compared to more traditional loans.  Whil...

http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com:  There are no data to report from the Economic Calendar.  We do have a 3 year Treasury Auction, but it doesn't have much impact on the Markets.  Tomorrow could have some catalysts to push the Markets one way or another.  We have the 10 year Treasury, which can have some impact with Mortgage Rates; but the BIGGIE is the CPI report.  Stocks are Down this morning on renewed concerns over inflation, which the CPI will report it's inflationary data for April.  It's expected to rise from 1.6% YoY to 2.3% tomorrow.  If we can stay below 2%, then the Markets may calm a bit.  If it hits above 2%, then they may snowball with their selling.  There are several Fed Members speaking today, so it's possible they may share their thoughts on this topic today too.  Mean...

What’s the Value of my Vista Home?Vista Home Sales for April 2021 The community of Vista is inland in North San Diego County, and borders Carlsbad, Oceanside and San Marcos.  You'll find diverse housing in tract home communities, rental complexes and 55+ communities, as well in rural areas. There are mixed use and agricultural areas, plus a growing and changing downtown offering a wide range of shopping, dining and services.  Major commuting routes (the 15 and 78 freeways) are nearby, and there is the wonderful Vista Farmers Market on Saturdays at the Courthouse Complex – it's definitely worth visiting regularly. It’s important for buyers and sellers in the Vista housing market to understand recent trends, and current local market conditions, in order to make informed decisions about bu...

Housing Market Predictions 2022 | Housing Market 2021 Dusting off my Econ degree from college, let’s talk which way the market indicators are pointing. We’ll take on each of the indicators, compared to the 2000's recession, which we helped hundreds of people through, and the thing was the biggest indicator right before the huge price drop in home prices in the 2007-2012 recession. There are two main things: Supply and Demand of houses, and Affordability. Supply of houses in California is out of whack. It’s a Seller’s market – when a Seller puts a home on the market at a price that is in the range of value for that home, and 15 or 25 buyers make offers over the asking price and appraisals are coming in low. On a basic level, that means there are not enough houses available for the number...
