The Pacific Palisades, CA Single Family Market Trends Report is published. It has been a while since I wrote about this market, so one of my clients called and asked why I have not written about it in a while. So with that said let's look at the Market:Not wanting to sound repetetive, but if you looked at my previous five market trends report tonight, you would notice there is one common trend. The number of homes on the market are paralleling 2016 when it comes to listed properties.The Days on market keep decreasing, that is also very simmilar to the other pockets of Los Angeles. Hence with that said I might go out on the limb and say that prices have increased. Now let's look at the real numbers instead of my guess: Well I am not surprised. If you are considering selling your home in ... 10/14/2018

While in California during the month of June, I've been providing private Feng Shui consultations and workshops, I also made sure to save time to enjoy the great outdoors to hike. This time around, I swung by the Will Rogers State Historical Park in Pacific Palisades, CA. I prefer not to write too much about what I saw, and instead provide you with just a couple of photos because it really deserves your in-person presence. I will say this, the land was once occupied by the Gabrielino/Tongva Nation until the 1800s due to colonization from Spain. Over the years this area remained untouched until the early 20th century, when Hollywood Actor, Will Roger's family called this 200-acre ranch home for about 24 years. After Mr. Rogers passing, his widow, Betty Rogers, deeded the ranch and its la... 06/23/2018

Why is the Pacific Palisades, CA Real Estate Market so hot? The answer is so easy you have a small town feel to it. Can walk around to the restaurants and boutiques and are of course near the Pacific Ocean. Unlike Malibu from the Palisades to go to Beverly Hills is not a communute it is a skip hop.Most importantly it is far enough away to be almost suburb of Los Angeles. Hence if you are one of the ones who have to go to work and can not work remotely Pacifi Palisades is your home.Now with that said let's look at the Market statistics: Clearly the prices are an idication of the desirability of living in Pacific Palisades.As you can see it is still a very fast market when the median home is around $2.7million plus and the median days on market is 20 days. This is clearly a seller's marke... 07/10/2016

  I enjoy visiting the Lake Shrine (The Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine). It is a breathtaking place to come to relax, regain focus, clear the mind, and lift the spirit. The lake and grounds are beautiful and serene. But I particularly love watching these two white swans swimming in harmony and peace...       If you have a chance, I truly encourage you to come and experience this gorgeous sanctuary.   With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things. ~ William Wordsworth   03/09/2015

Fed Lays Out Plan to Taper It began as a decent week for mortgage rates. Ahead of Wednesday’s highly anticipated Fed meeting, mortgage rates were a little lower on a week-over-week basis, as reflected in the weekly survey from Freddie Mac. Investors, however, pushed rates significantly higher after the Fed statement and press conference.   The Fed’s massive bond buying program has greatly increased the demand for mortgage-backed securities (MBS). Since mortgage rates are mostly determined by MBS prices, the added demand for MBS has been a major factor in the decline in mortgage rates to historically low levels. Wednesday’s Fed statement and follow-up comments from Bernanke provided the clearest signal yet that the extra demand from the Fed will soon begin to shrink. The Fed’s forecast ... 07/05/2013

Mortgage Rates Soar to 4.46% Rising interest rates have hit mortgages big time. Rates on 30-year, fixed-rate home loans spiked 0.53 percentage points to an average of 4.46% this week — the largest weekly increase in more than 26 years, according to mortgage giant Freddie Mac.  The 30-year loan, which stood at 3.35% as recently as early May, is at its highest level since July 2011.  Rates for 15-year loans, popular with homeowners refinancing their mortgages, jumped 0.46 percentage points to 3.5%. An extra percentage point will cost homebuyers with 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages $56 more a month for every $100,000 they borrow.  If sustained, the rate increase will take some of the steam out of the housing market. The sudden jump in rates is driven by uncertainty over whether the Federal R... 06/28/2013

Secret Stairs Webwalks, Castellammare, Pacific Palisades, CA Looking for an urban escape this holiday weekend? This could be the perfect adventure to work off the weekday stress and holiday food. Los Angeles has a network of secret stairs. Long forgotten stairways once used to create access the beach, and parts of the city not easily reached on foot. Charles Fleming wrote the book on the Los Angeles' secret stairway. His story is inspiring on how he used these walks to improve his well-being. Back to the walk itself. It's a beauty, and not as busy as the work out/gym stairs found on Adelaide. Castellammare is perched above PCH, is just North of Sunset and neighbor to The Getty Villa. You will have Pacific Ocean Views, ocean breezes, and a bit of old Hollwyood film history. You'll start ... 03/31/2013
