Fresno Meet in the Middle 4 Equality Rally May 30th, 2009 Off Topic: Meaning this has nothing to do with the Fresno Real Estate Market. I went downtown on Saturday to check out the Revfest at the Fulton Mall and on the way there I saw huge crowd gathered so I decided to check out what was going on. What was going on wast the Meet in the Middle Rally. I figure I better post these pictures before they become obsolete.

listings: Fresno Ca Real Estate Market Bleet - 04/29/09 12:16 AM
Was busy doing showings this afternoon in an area where sales have been brisk. The volume of REOs in this particular neighborhood has been so high that I noticed prices drop 10% in a matter of about 2 or 3 months. I noticed a lot of homes with non-mls lock boxes --- meaning that the homes are being foreclosed on and will be coming to market soon. Looks like another wave of homes is set to hit the market soon. I spoke with my insurance agent today who told me there were 6 pages of NODs (Notice of Default) in the

listings: More on GREEN LIVING - 04/27/09 06:44 PM
This is a follow up to my last blog. There is an article in the Wall Street Journal today title The Green House of the Future in which four architects provide illustrations of what Green Homes of the future might look like. The article concludes with all four architects in agreement on one thing (when you see the pictures you will agree it certainly was NOT design..lol) and that is Americans need to learn to live in smaller spaces if we are going to make an impact on the environment. When I look at the designs I wonder who is going to

listings: Fresno California Real Estate - Market Update - 12/11/08 05:30 PM
As I have I have reported in previous blogs the Fresno California Real Estate Market has hit a bottom and at has, at least for the time being, turned UP. The banks have been more aggressive in their pricing of foreclosed homes and sometimes have the homes priced so reasonably that MULTIPLE OFFERS are made. Investors who were sellers at the top of the market are now back scooping up homes at bargain prices. The chart below shows the year over year improvement in sales from Sept of 2007 through Sept of 2008. ______________________________________________________ . If you are an

Here are the 24 hour market stats for the Fresno California Real Estate Market: Its fairly a apparent from the stats (as in Price Reductions) that prices continue to decline but you have to understand that many of the listings with price reductions were WAY over priced to begin with and either the banks or the owners are just figuring it out. Our monthly sales figures are improving. As priced drop buyers continue to move into the market. I just closed an escrow for a first time home buyer and have an offer out for another young couple seeking to

listings: Huntington Lake -- California - 10/13/08 10:51 PM
A good friend of mine just purchased a cabin in Huntington Lake (photo left). NO, I did not participate in the transaction; he bought the property for-sale-by-owner directily from the owner. From what I know of the transaction though, it appears he got a screaming good deal. This weekend a group of us when up to help him do a little work on it. I'll admit I didnt do too much work but my son Joshua made up for what little I contributed. Another friend of ours happens to also own a cabin up there and she we gracious enough
