laguna beach homes for sale: 1 Minute Housing Report - Homes Sell Every Single Day - 11/07/11 06:45 PM
I read statistics every day about how home sales are up or home sales are down or predictions that home sales will recover or predictions that homes sales won't recover. I'm in the business of real estate and I can't figure out what all these numbers mean. However, I did see some statistics that caught my eye and actually did make sense to me.
Everyday so far in 2011:
13,780 homes sell in the United States
72 homes sell in Orange County, Ca
500 homes sell every week in Orange County, Ca
2000 homes sell every month in Orange County, Ca

laguna beach homes for sale: 1 Minute Housing Report - How do Americans View Owning a Home? - 03/18/11 03:13 PM
1 Minute Housing Report
How do Americans view owning a Home?
Last week, Fannie Mae released the National Housing Survey. Here are the survey's more interesting findings.
96% of all homeowners said homeownership has been a positive experience. 84% of Americans still believe that owning a home makes more sense than renting. Even 68% of renters believe owning makes more sense. 64% consider buying a home as a safe investment. Buying a home was considered safer than buying stocks by over three times the number of people (64% vs 17%). 2 in 3 Americans believe that lifestyle benefits of homeownership (65%) … (0 comments)

laguna beach homes for sale: One Minute Housing Report ~ It's a Great Time to Sell (and Buy)! - 02/18/11 09:44 PM
Is now a better time to buy a home or to sell a home? The general consensus is that the housing market has hit a long-awaited neutral spot, meaning that prices have somewhat stabilized but could still go down a little or up a little.
It's a good time to sell! If you believe that the banks are holding on to a shadow inventory of homes that will be released on the market causing a downward pressure on prices then it's better to sell now before prices drop.
It's a good time to buy! Home prices have come down drastically from … (2 comments)

laguna beach homes for sale: Laguna Art Museum Exhibits Artist John Paul Jones - 12/02/10 09:34 PM
I was fortunate to attend UCI at a time when the Fine Arts department was enjoying a resurgence of attention to the arts. Every quarter we would have visiting artists come in and teach classes; there was Billie Al Bengston, Joe Goode, Ed Moses and other highly accomplished artists who would critique your work and tell stories but what we as students found most interesting was their insight into the fine art world.
The reason this comes to mind is the excellent show at the Laguna Art Museum featuring the works of John Paul Jones who died in 1999. John … (3 comments)

laguna beach homes for sale: Pink Toilet Seat, Pro Football and 41 Laguna Beach Homes - 12/01/10 07:09 PM
A pink toilet seat, pro football and 41 Laguna Beach homes - what's the connection?
My wife and I take the dogs for a walk every evening and last fall we kept seeing a pink toilet seat move from house to house in the neighborhood. Finally, we asked the question, "So what's with the pink toilet seat? Is this some form of punishment and how do we avoid getting this pink badge of honor?"
It turns out that it is indeed a punishment for losing the weekly pro football fantasy pool. Based on some obscure formula - something to do with … (2 comments)

The annual Laguna Beach Classic Car Show was held on a cool fall Sunday in October. This event is sponsored by the local Rotary organization and takes place on the grounds of the Festival of Arts, the location of the local art shows that take place every summer.
The show was like attending a class on the history of car design.
American muscle cars - Corvettes, Camaros, Barracudas, hot rods - looking like they just came off of the lot - ready to growl, eat up blacktop and guzzle 29 cent gas.
Classic Jaguars, Fiats, and Aston Martins. Elegant Rolls … (0 comments)
