vallejo: A Vallejo Mountain Range? Can you name it? - 09/07/10 12:08 PM
Several years ago there was a lovely home for sale in North Vallejo.  Out the backyard was a panoramic view of some rock outcroppings and rugged hills/mountains.  The agent who had the home for sale said she had a bet with her seller as to what was the name of those hills/mountains.
As my husband worked for the city of Vallejo for many years and knew everything, I called him.  His immediate answer was Sulphur Springs.  So the agent won her bet and advertised the home for sale with view of Sulphur Springs Mountains.
People hike the area and in the … (0 comments)

vallejo: Where Oh Where did the Listings Go? - 08/02/09 10:18 AM
Where oh where did the listings go?  SOLD is one way and there is very little coming on the market.
I was updating my website last night for some July numbers from our local Bay Area Real Estate Information.  OF course it is a point in time for posting what is happening in the Vallejo, CA real estate market.  So that means some Realtors do not post a listing SOLD quickly or at all.  However the source gives a very good picture of what is happening in today's world.
As of last night, in Vallejo there were 252 homes listed for sale (single family … (1 comments)

vallejo: Collective Market Conscience or CMC - 07/21/08 11:33 PM
Our owner of Coldwell Banker Solano Pacific coined the word "Collective Market Conscience".  This means that everyone else at the same time wants to buy the same house.  Now most of you may say "multiple offers in this market?".  And I say YES and YES again.
With the home prices being at the price point they are, buyers are starting to realize if they do not want to miss out they best put an offer in.  Early in the year some buyers would not even look at any new homes coming on the market.  They just thought to wait it out.  … (3 comments)

vallejo: Holiday in The Park...Six Flags Discovery Kingdom-Vallejo - 12/14/07 09:31 AM
My daughters are past that giggly girly phase where they wanted to visit Six Flags Discovery Kingdom all the time.  We live close enough to get season tickets.  It was wonderful to go for a few hours and know we did not have to fight traffic or a long drive home from Vallejo.
That was when the park was known as Marine World.  Marine World had moved from Redwood City, CA eons ago.  At least it seem that way. It has since changed names and gone through reconstruction with new rides and events, ever evolving to provide a worthwhile destination point for … (1 comments)

vallejo: How many foreclosures in Vallejo? - 12/08/07 07:11 PM
Foreclosures are a hot topic in addition to the mortgage subject.  Solano County certainly has its share of foreclosures.  When misfortune happens and people lose their homes for what ever reason, something has to happen to the homes.  The banks are not in the rental business nor want to own homes.  They are in the business of lending.
So how many foreclosures are there in Vallejo?  Our local multiple listing service as of 12/07 indicated there are 302 single family homes or condos that are now owned by the bank and listed with a Realtor to sell in Vallejo out of a … (0 comments)
