Affordable Housing Available in San Dimas Okay, so more good news for the region I live in!  The Grove Station development just south of downtown San Dimas is back in business!   After falling into bankruptcy, the original plan which consisted of 110 residential units and more business spaces has been finished!  The original plans had to be revamped to a smaller development, but the idea behind this project was to create a "main street feel next to the historic downtown" and I truly believe that has been accomplished. The condo units which are affordable consist of 2 bedrooms and are currently being offered for the low, low price of $243,000.  There is a huge list of people who are currently interested in purchasing one of these spectacular condos. You can read more about it by reading ... 12/27/2011

The Unveiling of the San Dimas Veteran's Memorial   Finally, after seven long years, the vision of San Dimas residents Janellen Graef and Gary Enderle is almost completed just south of downtown San Dimas.   Hundreds lined the streets for the unveiling of the San Dimas Veteran's Memorial which was unveiled on Vetran's Day 2011.  Although the project was not complete as of yet, it was the signifigance of the day that prompted the early unveiling. Among those attending were Sherriff Lee Baca, Mayor Cort Morris and many World War II Veterans.  Veterans as young as 35 and as old as 86 were recognized during the special ceremony. San Dimas Avenue and Commercial Street is where the monument is permanently located.  To read more about this amazing event, please read this article. 11/14/2011

In the City of SAN DIMAS this past week, there were 13 price changes.  It's tough when a bank takes a long time to make up it's mind about sales.  The prices locally ... 09/30/2011

San Dimas Rodeo and Western Days 2011 Okay, so coming up in the City of San Dimas, is the  44th annual WESTERN DAYS AND 17th annual SAN DIMAS RODEO!  This year the events will take place on October first and second. If you've never been to downtown San Dimas, it's like something out of Gunsmoke or any of those old early westerns.  And it boasts intersting shops and businesses such as the old hardware store.  (I can remember going there when I was a little girl with my dad and buying a handful of nails out of a bin.)  And Roady's diner has been there literally forever (since before I was born and my kids say I dated dinosaurs, so it must be true!). But I digress, again.  These events are joined by many local participants from the cities surrounding San Dimas, including but not limited to... 09/23/2011

Ten new listings means that people are gaining confidence in the SAN DIMAS REAL ESTATE MARKET.  And it seems to me to be picking up as well.  And four have actually made it through the sale process and become closed sale.  This is also good news, especially for a holiday weekend.  Pending homes mean four homes are now in escrow and on their way to becoming closed sales.  There are also five expired listings which means that the home did not sell in the time allotted by the seller.  This c... 09/07/2011

SAN DIMAS - HOME OF THE SAINTS Okay, so if you're just moving into the area for SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL, you're in for a treat.  If you've been here for a while, this blog will be useful for you. San Dimas is home of the SAINTS.  And their website is done by the students.  Which is all well and good, but there are no school sports calendars YET.  That's okay, so I'll write about the SCHOOL CHOIR CALENDAR.  I found it a very interesting calendar as they have performances right from the get-go!  September 9th begins with a choir retreat and that very next Monday they have auditions for some of the small choral groups. I loved my years in choir.  We had the BEST director and the BEST singers.  And naturally we had the BEST choir retreat ever!  We went to San Francisco and sang with other sch... 08/18/2011

Anyway, there were 14 new listings on the market.  Moving along at a great clip.  Seven have sold which means ... 08/12/2011

So here we go again, and let's start with the most important thing - THE PRICING!  Yet again, there are many price changes (fifteen is a lot!). I can't believe that people are STILL using agents who don't know what they are doing!... 07/29/2011
