Malibu Real Estate - Friday 07-30-2010 - Record Lows for Mortgages - 07/31/10 12:55 AM
I just found this article on the Wall Street Journal Real Estate website....
U.S. mortgage rates fell again in the past week, with the average rate on 30-year and 15-year fixed-rate mortgages furthering record lows, according to Freddie Mac's weekly survey of mortgage rates.
Rates have remained at or near record lows as the Treasury market has rallied amid stock-market volatility. A rally in Treasurys pushes yields lower, and mortgage rates generally track those yields.
"For the sixth week in a row, interest rates on fixed-rate mortgages eased to all-time record lows during a week of mixed housing-data reports," said Freddie … (0 comments)

Malibu Real Estate - Sunday 07-25-2010 - 7 Smart Strategies for Kitchen Remodeling - 07/25/10 11:57 PM
If you're contemplating a kitchen remodel, you're also weighing a considerable investment. But a significant portion of the upfront costs may be recovered by the value the project brings to your home. Kitchen remodels in the $50,000 range recouped 76% of the initial project cost at the home's resale, according to recent data from Remodeling Magazine's Cost vs. Value Report. To make sure you maximize your return, consider these seven smart kitchen remodeling strategies.
1. Establish your priorities
Simple enough? Not so fast. The National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) recommends spending at least six months planning before beginning the work. … (0 comments)

Pacific Palisades Real Estate Blog - Sunday 07-25-2010 - Turf Grasses - 07/25/10 10:29 PM
We love our lawns. Turf grass covers nearly 47 million acres in the U.S., according to the Lawn Institute. But that's not very green. The average household dumps 60 gallons of water per day on conventional lawns. Toxic lawn herbicides and pesticides run off into lakes and streams. Gas-powered mowers spew pollution. And then there's the watering, weeding, seeding, sodding, thatching, and mulching commitment.
 
If you're looking for an alternative, consider replacing some or all of your high-maintenance turf with innovative grasses that require little or no water or mowing once established, or ground covers that form walkable "carpets."

Pacific Palisades Real Estate Blog - Tuesday 07-13-2010 - Save Money By Growing Fruit Trees - 07/13/10 07:39 PM
Investing in a fruit tree is a win-win-win-win proposition. You'll save money on your grocery bill; you'll improve the health of your family by assuring an ample supply of healthy produce (which you can grow organically if you want); you'll enhance your landscape with a pretty spring-flowering tree; and you'll have the satisfaction of growing your own food. As a bonus, the whole family will learn a delicious lesson about nature and gardening.

Pacific Palisades Real Estate Blog - President signs bill to extend tax credit deadline - 07/08/10 07:49 PM
President Obama signed a bill this morning extending the closing deadline for the federal home buyer tax credit to Sept. 30, 2010. The bill is retroactive and covers the lapse period from June 30, 2010 to the date of enactment of the extension. Congress passed the bill earlier this week. Nearly 180,000 home buyers would have missed out on the tax credit had Congress and the president not taken action to extend the deadline to close escrow. Estimates from NAR show as many as 17,700 home buyers in California would not have received the tax credit without the extension. More info: … (1 comments)

Pacific Palisades Real Estate Blog - Kay & Dave's Restaurant - 07/08/10 06:32 PM
What use to be a hidden town secret is now becoming a local household name on the Westside for traditional Mexican food. Kay 'n Dave's Mexican food is absolutely amazing! Here is some information I gathered from their website:
We Began in 1991 when Dave bought a run down cantina on P.C.H. in Malibu.  Other locations followed:  Pacific Palisades in 1992; Brentwood in 1995; and Culver City in 2009.  Before starting this business, Dave was a lawyer who didn't enjoy wearing a tie, sitting behind a desk, or dealing with stacks of papers.  So he decided to give business a try.  … (0 comments)
