The Crazy Burro is gone (I always loved that name) and the La Costa Grill is in. Just about two weeks into existence, the La Costa Grill is doing a booming business here in South Carlsbad following the remodel of the Burro, just a couple of minutes up the road from the La Costa Resort and Spa.

The Carlsbad Beach with the Hole in the Fence - 05/30/09 12:01 PM
Carlsbad's coastline is one long beach, uninterrupted from the northern boundary at Oceanside to the seamless merge to Encinitas, and much of the Carlsbad beach is State Beach. 
But there are a number of different beaches, designated as such by name, parking area and even the jetties where the lagoons join the ocean. Apart from the official names (like South Carlsbad State Beach) there are some interesting unofficial names of beaches that appear on certain maps, or used by locals in the know.
My personal favorite is Hole-in-the-Fence Beach, named for, you guessed it, the hole in the fence (I assume). … (3 comments)

Oceanside Real Estate - The Condos at Windward - 05/29/09 06:52 PM
The Oceanside real estate market, like other North County San Diego communities, has undergone dramatic changes in the housing prices in the last several years.
Oceanside remains the most affordable coastal community with a wide range of housing available to buyers.
Oceanside buyers seeking condos with a budget of under $400,000 have a number of options, although not many west of the 5 freeway and even fewer west of the coast road/Route 101.  Those interested in recently built condos within sight of the downtown area may find Windward to their liking. 
The condos at Windward were built beginning around 2005 and … (17 comments)

The Question Used to Be...How Much Less Will the Sellers' Take?? - 05/28/09 10:49 PM
It seems that the typical question we hear in the "buyer's market"...how much less will the sellers' take (or some variant)...is being replaced. The new questions are:
Will an offer at the asking price be good enough? Should I make an offer over asking? How much over asking should I go?  While this is not the commonplace question for your typical sale, it IS for the REOs and the short sales these days. Buyers are competing with 5, 10 and more offers on the typical distress sale (I heard of one with 45 offers just yesterday), and while they don't all … (10 comments)

Twitter: What Does the Future Hold? - 05/27/09 10:54 PM

No, the article was not a doomsayer, predicting a failing. But it did raise the question of what lies ahead in Twitter's future in terms of their ability to mange growth and their business model.

Why the San Diego County Recorder’s Office Matters to You: Potential issues to Be Aware Of - 05/25/09 09:24 AM
The Recorders Office in San Diego County plays a critical role for new home owners - the recording of the documents, including the deed, that signal the home you are buying is now yours...the official Close of Escrow. The recording of documents is also essential for folks who are refinancing. 
Once escrow verifies that all the required documents are in place, and title notifies them that the loan had been funded by your new lender and the monies received, escrow will authorize the recording. Often this happens on the same day - the lender wires the money in the morning and … (4 comments)

Carlsbad Things to Do - Attend the Carlsbad Cannon Art Gallery's May 2009 Exhibit - 05/21/09 10:43 PM
The Cannon Art Gallery, Carlsbad's city-owned art gallery, continues to impress with the caliber of its exhibits.
The current show, which officially opens tomorrow and run through  June 13, 2009, is the 5th biannual National Arts Program exhibit which showcases works by city employees and their family members.

Carlsbad Area Summer Camps and Programs 2009 - 05/21/09 03:36 PM
Summer is about here, school is almost over, and it's time to get your kids enrolled in day camps or other programs during the summer, if you haven't done so already. 
The number of variety of programs to choose from in the North County San Diego area (especially Carlsbad) is mind boggling - surfing, sports, academics, religious, art, music and so much more. Here is just a sampling of opportunities to fit a wide range of interests, schedules (some are short term so you can fit in several of them this summer), and budgets to keep the kiddos busy, learning and having … (5 comments)

Those are pretty heavy words to say to someone. But clearly Bruce Marks had no compunction about saying this (actually yelling on the phont) to a high-level banking official at BofA. 

I have to say I applaud his willingness to go after the folks who seem, by most accounts, to be at the heart of the continuing problems with our foreclosure mess, the unwillingness in many cases to attempt a loan modification, and the myriad of other issues that have cropped up in the housing crisis. As many here have complained, it just makes no sense, and it appears we … (10 comments)

Cool Techie Tool - Convert Your PDFs to Word Documents for FREE - 05/19/09 11:09 PM

Valuable Lessons Learned from Relocations - Buyers and Agents, Listen Up - 05/19/09 01:38 PM
I expect like most REALTORS I learn something from every transaction, and from every buyer and seller. Sometimes it's good stuff, and sometimes not. But there are always valuable lessons that can help improve business operations, communication, marketing, and knowledge. There are times when I don't even realize how much I have learned and the difference a particular transaction can make until after the fact.

Carlsbad Real Estate – More New Construction Homes Coming on the Carlsbad Market at Avellino at La Costa Greens - 05/17/09 05:34 AM
I often get asked by home buyers in the Carlsbad real estate market about new construction homes and their availability.
We had a good amount of new construction (mostly detached homes) in the last several years, especially in South Carlsbad, and much of that is now gone, with a few exceptions (some condos at The Bluffs, detached homes in the $1 Million range at La Costa Ridge, new homes at Viridian and Trieste at La Costa Greens - prices and availability have changed since there article were written).

Ways to Spend the California $10,000 New Home Tax Credit - 05/13/09 10:23 AM
Word has gotten out, although many folks are still not aware, that California has its own tax credit. 
The tax credit of up to $10,000 is for the purchase of new construction homes (i.e., never been lived in) and is spread over 3 years, unlike the $8,000 Federal tax credit for first time home buyers. Home owners must live in the home for at least two years, and closing must occur on or before February 28, 2010. 
Time is running out, since there is only $100 million available, and once it's gone, it's gone, unless the state extends the program. According … (4 comments)

Carlsbad Art in the Village: Art Surf the Phantom Galleries, Murals and More - 05/11/09 10:59 PM
Carlsbad has once again shown its artistic spirit in the form of phantom (temporary) galleries, window murals, and other artsy happenings in the Carlsbad downtown area.
The town's commercial/retail vacancy rate has hovered around 5% fairly consistently, despite the downturn in the economy. But vacant stores and shop windows are still a sad reminder of an economy that is not exactly booming. Carlsbad shop owners have expressed their own feelings about the impression this creates, resulting in a creative art program coordinated by the Carlsbad Village Improvement Partnership to counteract any perceptions of a failing commercial area which, as the vacancy … (4 comments)

Carlsbad Convention and Visitors Bureau - A Source of Information in Carlsbad Village - 05/10/09 10:51 AM
The original Carlsbad Train Depot (The Santa Fe Train Depot) is a fascinating building in the heart of town, just north of Carlsbad Village Drive west of State Street. The Victorian-style building (my interpretation, not a historical one) was built in the 1880s and for many years was the stopping point along the train line running north and south along the coast. A period of dormancy followed before the current Carlsbad Train Station (actually one of two) was built in the 1960s. There are some old photos of the original Carlsbad Hotel that burned many years ago, among other memorabilia.

About 50 steps take you down the bluff to the sand next to Terramar, one of the rare residential areas in Carlsbad that is TRUE oceanfront - because of the coast road many homes are on the other side, still with great views but not actual waterfront.

The Buyer's Market: It's Over-Rated - 05/05/09 11:15 AM
The media has been telling us it's a buyer market for some time. The real estate community talks about it too. Everyone seems to believe it.
I think the Buyer's Market is over-rated. 
Before you get your britches in a bunch, hear me out. 
Saying it's a buyer's market, as a general rule, overlooks those markets, and niches, where this is clearly not the case.  
Calling it a buyer's market gives buyers a false sense of security. They think they are always in the driver's seat, calling all the shots, and can get homes for 10%, 20% or more off the … (99 comments)

Alt Karlsbad: A California Historic Site in Carlsbad - Club Chaos Eye Candy - 05/02/09 04:38 PM
Carlsbad, California is known for many things, in particular its beautiful beaches, terrific weather and as a place to live, vacation and retire. But many folks are probably not aware of its early beginnings. 

In 1882 John Frazier, a sea captain, was digging a well on his farm near the ocean (which is, today, much of the downtown Carlsbad Village area) and discovered the natural mineral springs that lay hundreds of feet beneath the surface. The mineral water, as tests showed, is very like the mineral springs at a famous European spa called Karlsbad in Bohemia (the modern day Czech Republic, … (12 comments)
