What's the market like in Belmont CA 94002?With the Labor Day weekend behind us, kids back in school, vacations winding down I'm often asked about the real estate market, and whether or not houses are selling. Today, we'll take a look in Belmont California where there are:

san mateo county: Holiday Season--People Still Looking for Homes in Sunnyvale CA - 11/26/10 10:55 AM
Holiday Season--People Still Looking for Homes in Sunnyvale CA
Not long ago I helped our last tenants find a home to buy. They moved out of this nice two-bedroom townhouse in Sunnyvale California last month, and we were concerned that with the holidays upon us the rental market might be slow. However, just days before Thanksgiving a couple who are renting an apartment not far away came to take a look, and knew it would be a great place for them to call home. And we're happy because we think they'll be wonderful tenants, which our background check substantiates. They'll be … (6 comments)

san mateo county: Early morning beauty - San Mateo County, CA - 08/21/10 10:15 PM
Early morning beauty - San Mateo County, CA When days get busy--in the life of a Realtor or in most anyone's life--it's all the more important to step aside for a few minutes, still the mind, and be aware of the beauty that surrounds us. I snapped this picture with my BlackBerry while on an early morning run yesterday with my friend and colleague, Pooneh Fouladi. We've discovered that 7:00 AM is a lovely time at the Sawyer Camp Trail, not as crowded as it gets on a weekend or later in the morning, and the morning light is gorgeous.

san mateo county: Celebrating the Long Summer Evenings - 06/23/10 01:20 PM
Yesterday my husband and I took advantage of the long hours of daylight by engaging in one of our favorite activities: hiking, this time at Windy Hill Open Space Preserve. Ending our work day around 5:00 PM, a 20-minute drive had us at the trailhead in Portola Valley, where we headed up Hammes Gulch Trail, across the undulating Lost Trail, and down Razorback Ridge trail and eventually back to our car. View from Hammes Gulch Trail, looking down to Stanford University and Palo Alto, CA Trail shot heading up Hammes Gulch Trail. At the trail junction at the end of Lost … (12 comments)

san mateo county: What to Do--Before, During & After an Earthquake - 05/06/10 10:20 AM
My thanks to colleague Mike Martin in Fontana, California for taking the time to post the information here about the increased earthquake activity this year in California. The links he gives to suggestions of what one can do before, during, and after an earthquake give some good advice for all of us living in California, including San Mateo County and the Silicon Valley. Thanks, Mike, for allowing me to share your words!
Earthquake Preparedness is Essential! There has been a significant increase in the number of earthquakes that were of a 4.0 or greater magnitude this year in California according … (6 comments)

san mateo county: Wordless Wednesday:Jalopy in the Woods - 04/28/10 09:56 AM
When hiking along the trails in some of our steep canyons, one occasionally rounds the bend and comes across a remnant of the past that makes you pause and reflect for a moment. This old car is right off the Peter's Loop Trail in Portola Redwoods State Park in San Mateo County. So close to the urban areas of the Peninsula like Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Redwood City, yet eons away in feel. … (15 comments)

san mateo county: A Hike in Portola Redwoods State Park - 04/27/10 08:57 AM
Our San Francisco Peninsula is a delightful place in which to live, full of places to explore and enjoy. One of the lesser known gems is Portola Redwoods State Park nestled down in the bottom of the canyon. The park is located about 45-60 minutes from San Carlos or Palo Alto, and makes a wonderful destination for picnics and short hikes, as well as longer ones. As stated on the park's web site, "Portola Redwoods has a rugged, natural basin forested with Coast Redwoods, Douglas Firs and Live Oaks. There are eighteen miles of trails, a 53 site campground, four group … (4 comments)

san mateo county: A hike on Montara Mountain, San Mateo County, CA - 03/24/10 11:06 PM
Last Sunday my favorite hiking buddy (my husband, Gene) and I broke away from the busyness of life and real estate to enjoy a fast-paced hike from San Pedro Valley Park in Pacifica to the top of nearby Montara Mountain. A scenic drive of about 30 minutes lead us from downtown San Carlos, up beautiful Interstate 280, to Highway One along the coast, and then to the park. This hike, roughly 10 miles in length, gains perhaps 1,000 ft. While the trail is steep, the beauty of the blooming wildflowers, flowering trees and shrubs, views of the Pacific Ocean, and the … (6 comments)

san mateo county: Assessment Appeals in California - 03/10/10 12:05 AM
Good information for those of us in California posted by our colleague, Ron Largent. I've found San Mateo County and Santa Clara County to be quite proactive in reassessing properties; San Francisco (in my one experience) was very reasonable, too.
Via Ron Largent at Keller Williams Realty Commercial Group:
New information on Assessment Appeals*** - The State Board of Equalization developed a video designed to provide information to taxpayers regarding the appeals process. The video is entitled Your Assessment Appeal and was developed as a collaborative effort between the Board's Taxpayers' Rights Advocate Office and the County-Assessed Properties Division.

san mateo county: Peninsula Living: Answer: The Pulgas Water Temple - 01/19/10 09:40 AM
Peninsula Living: The Pulgas Water Temple
Located in the hills behind Woodside and Redwood City, CA, you'll find the stately Pulgas Water Temple. It was built by the San Francisco Water Department in 1938 to commemorate the completion of the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct, which brings water from the Sierra Nevada Mountains, across the state of California, to Upper Crystal Springs Reservoir, near which the Temple stands.
Many of our mid-Peninsula cities, including San Carlos, get all or part of their water supply from the Hetch Hetchy system, so the inscription near the top of the monument is especially appreciated, "I give waters in … (7 comments)

san mateo county: Peninsula Living: San Mateo county Parks and Open Space Preserves - 12/09/09 11:34 AM
We pay a premium to live on the San Francisco Peninsula. Compared to many parts of the country our houses are older and smaller; lot sizes, too.
However, the benefits are many--good weather, vibrant communities, top-rated universities, world headquarters for numerous bsinesses and on it goes.
Our nearby Open Space preserves and parks are a huge bonus. These pictures were taken in a few of the San Mateo County parks and Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District preserves, that are within a 10- to 45-minute drive from my downtown San Carlos office.
(Many thanks to Rainmaker Carra Riley for introducing me to the Slide program!)

san mateo county: Do you work with Seniors? - 09/25/09 12:23 PM
Yesterday I attended another Senior Roundtable meeting, and came away feeling so fortunate to have this resource available. And happy that fellow Active Rainer Skip Frenzel introduced me to this group. On a monthly basis professionals who work with Seniors in some capacity or other meet to network, share information and learn from a featured speaker and each other. I've met professional organizers, lawyers specializing in Seniors issues, accountants, representatives from mobility companies, a designer of clothing created for disabled or elderly persons -- a wealth of services that can be of benefit to my Senior clients. I'm developing a great list of … (11 comments)
