San Dimas Market Watch - May 24-30, 2013 Okay, so I know I have been away for a couple of weeks, but I was visiting my son in NoCal. It was his birthday and he was commissioned as a youth pastor at a church while we were up there.  Such an exciting time in his life! Now, let's get down to it.  This week in San Dimas only 5 new listings came on the market.  Not very many considering the huge jump in prices we have seen in the last couple of months.  It seems like more people in San Dimasshould be ready to do that move they have been waiting to do for the last few years.  Especially folks who are ready to retire and move closer to their kids or downsize.   There were 2 homes that went pending (into the escrow process) and 4 soldhomes this past week.  One listing expired and 2 more have go... 05/30/2013

San Dimas Market Watch - May 8-14, 2013 Okay, so the last statistics have proven to you that it is definitely a SELLERS MARKET. But the trend is continuing here in this week's San Dimas Market Watch.   Last week, there were a total of 4 new listings.  Less inventory means higher prices and makes it a sellers market in San Dimas.  When you compare this week's 4 to the 1 sold homes it doesn't give you much of a picture.  But when you add the numbers together shows, that this is definitely still a sellers market in San Dimas, CA.     What does this mean to you if you want to sell?  This means that your home will be sold in a short period of time and many times will sell for more than the asking price.  Naturally, this doesn't mean that you can price your home high and expect the same resul... 05/15/2013

IS It Still A Seller Market in San Dimas, CA   Okay, so the last statistics have proven to you that it is definitely a SELLERS MARKET.  But the trend is continuing and even growing here in San Dimas, CA.   Last week, there were a total of 5 new listings.  Less inventory means higher prices and makes it a sellers market.  When you compare this week's 5 to the 9 sold homes you can see that there aren't going to be many homes on the market for very long and will be sold for higher prices due to supply and demand.    What does this mean to you if you want to sell?  This means that your home will be sold in a short period of time and many times will sell for more than the asking price.  Naturally, this doesn't mean that you can price your home high and expect the same results.  But that's an... 05/08/2013

San Dimas Market Watch April 24-30, 2013 Okay, so Times, They Are A Changin'!  (Found Bob Dylan's Song Here!)This week in San Dimas things are begining to move and shake.  There were 12 new listings coming into the San Dimas market for sale.  It goes along with an article I read earlier on the Redfin blog about seller confidence booming.   Four homes had price changes this week in San Dimas.  I don't think we can blame this on the banks any longer.  In fact if I read it correctly now, this is probably due to the rising home values and people need to get that last dollar from their home.  This I completely understand having been on the selling side not too long ago.   When you compare the 12 new listings to the 4 sold and 5 pending, it is still a tad bit upside down.  However, when you a... 05/01/2013

Summer Reading Programs in San Dimas CA Okay, so when I was a little girl I loved summertime as I'm sure most of you did too.  But I really loved the summer reading programs at the library.  My mom would sometimes drop me off and let me stay for a couple of hours and I would check out books and listen to records (ya, we had records back then) of The Osmonds, The Jacksons and so on.  (And my son says my first boyfriend was a dinosaur.)
