Article Paints Uneven Picture of Housing Market - Once again - 01/30/07 01:43 AM
Regarding "2006 housing decline paints uneven picture" (A1, Jan. 16): The San Diego Tribune ran an article once again painting an inacurrate picture of what is really happening in today's real estate market. Had this story been written by a Realtor or a professional in the field such as a mortgage lender, a title rep or escrow officer, I would lend it more credence. The story reports that "housing prices turned negative last year for the first time since 1995." But read a little further, and you learn that the magnitude of the drop was 0.8 percent, or less than 1 percent. … (0 comments)

Welcome to my real estate blog! - 01/28/07 01:50 AM
I think that it is time for some truths to be told to all the buyers and sellers out here in the Ventura and Los Angeles area about our current real estate market. It is not as bad as the media keeps telling us it is - at least not here in Ventura County and LA County (Agoura, Malibu, Westlake Village, and portions of the West Side). We are now experiencing a housing shortage and rising home prices. I would not go so far to say that it is a sellers market again, but we are close to it. If sellers … (3 comments)
