Camarillo Promenade A Big Disappointment So Far!

Camarillo CA Real Estate Agent/ Mana Tulberg (Beach View Real Estate) — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 19:34:43 -0500

On Thursday April 16, 2009 Camarillo celebrated the grand opening of its long anticipated Promenade. However, not all Camarillo or Ventura County residents welcome the expansion, and have some suggestions for stores that provide a better fit with the younger portion of Camarillo.

On an article previously written by yours truly about the Camarillo Promenade E.J comments:

Mana, it may seem nice for all the shoppaholics, but we definitely need much more for the family entertainment. How about a Dave and Busters! Our college age young people would love it and there is definitely nothing like it in Ventura Co. Kids, families and singles would sure make use of it.

How could this be promoted?
E.J

Another frustrated reader writes:

These new developments are so disappointing (so far). I was born and raised in Camarillo, but have since opted to move to Ventura about 2 years ago. Why? Because Ventura has fun things to do. There is nothing better than small, non-chain restaurants where you know the food quality is good. Camarillo and their lack of vision burns me up. All of this land and more retail space…what for? The outlet mall isn’t even that great…unless you live out of town because its a novelty. Why would we want to expand upon that with more nonsense stores! I’d like to see a Cheesecake Factory or PF Changs if we have to go the chain route. Like someone said earlier, a Dave and Busters would be ideal. In case the old folks running this city forgot, Camarillo has become a college town…even though you wouldn’t know it since all of the college students go to T.O or Ventura to have fun. How about keeping the revenue in Camarillo and create, even a small scene, for college kids to congregate and have a fun time at. Just my thoughts…

The city of Camarillo claims that the new Camarillo Promenade will provide 400 new jobs. What city officials have failed to see is that the same number of jobs could have been provided for employees of stores in the new Promenade that served the local residents rather than the visiting shoppers. When city officials proposed a promenade in Camarillo many residents were under the impression that Camarillo’s promenade will be some what similar to that of Westlake’s Promenade.

A large chain book store or a few restaurants would have served the families and students of California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI) better than an extension to Camarillo’s Outlet Mall.

With the Promenade adding another 28 stores to the existing Camarillo outlet, Camarillo now houses the largest outlet center in California. Why? That is the million dollar question…

It Snowed in Camarillo, California

Camarillo CA Real Estate Agent/ Mana Tulberg (Beach View Real Estate) — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 21:14:37 -0600

Snow In Camarillo, California

At about 9:30pm last Thursday night my husband left the city of Camarillo (elevation; 165 above see level) for a Christmas adventure due north. The Camarillo Christmas Truck drove for 2 hours to Pine Mountain Summit (elevation; 5160 feet above see level) and was back in Camarillo with a bed full of snow by 2:00am.

Friday morning our children and their friends woke up to a white (almost) winter wonderland.

The joy and laughter was priceless. The snow fights ended without injury, but a life long memory was etched in everyone's mind and hearts.

I am married to one of the best fathers alive and thank God everyday for the blessings we enjoy, even if it is a truck full of snow.

Camarillo 2008 Christmas Truck

Camarillo CA Real Estate Agent/ Mana Tulberg (Beach View Real Estate) — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 11:19:17 -0600

Say Hello To Camarillo's Christmas Truck

Christmas has always been the most splendid celebrated holiday in my family. My husband and I have not only embraced the holiday traditions we both grew up with, but have also created a few traditions of our own. My family’s celebration of the Christmas holidays involves more than just the members of our household. We love Christmas and especially the joy the holidays bring to children. Throughout the years we have come to a conclusion that no matter how rough life gets, there is no room for sadness during Christmas Celebration.

For the past four years, my husband has been decorating his baby-blue, 1968, Dodge truck with Christmas lights. Each year he adds or improves just a bit. This year, old-Betsy (the name our daughters gave the truck) has a light up Santa hood-ornament, low-power LED lights, and a musical Christmas snow globe. We really enjoy this simple, joyous means to celebrate the beauty of the Christmas holidays with others. We especially love to see the children’s reactions when they notice the Christmas Truck, the big eyes, smiles, and waves are adorable. Every year a group of us, which seems to be growing year after year, climb in the truck and spread the joy of the season by singing Christmas carols. Our Final Destination is the beautifully decorated Gemini Street in Camarillo, also known as Camarillo's Candy Cane lane.

So next time you see a baby-blue dodge truck all lit up like a Christmas tree don’t be shy, wave, honk, or even stop to say hello. Don’t be shy, Christmas is about loving each other and sharing the gift of love.

Camarillo Home Sales: First 9 Months of 2008 Compare to First 9 Months of 2007

Camarillo CA Real Estate Agent/ Mana Tulberg (Beach View Real Estate) — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 21:01:53 -0500

There have been many reports regarding an increase in Southern California's 2008 Real Estate activity compare to 2007's Real Estate trends.

This summer, 2008, I was much busier with home buyers' inquiring about properties in Camarillo than last summer. This could be correlated to an increase in bank owned/REO homes for sale and the lower pricing of bank owned/REO homes.

Below is a Comparable Real Estate Market Analysis for Camarillo. The table below demonstrates the number of homes sold and median home prices in the first 9 months of 2008 compared to the number of homes sold and median home prices in the first 9 months of 2007.

Also, the median price of homes sold in Camarillo in the first 9 months of 2008 decreased by 19.75% compared to the same period last year.

Twitter and Twitter Tools

Camarillo CA Real Estate Agent/ Mana Tulberg (Beach View Real Estate) — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 19:20:27 -0500

Twitter Tools For Twitter Users

It has taken me nearly a year to finally take the plunge and join the most talked about social network of our time, Twitter. Not because I did not believe the words of my fellow Active Rainers, but because I was troubled by the thought of spending more time on my computer. As it is my family complains about the amount of time I spend on my blog and the Rain, but I think the paychecks every now and then keep them happy. :0)

Anyway, I digress. Like any other adventure in my life, after joining Twitter (one month ago) I had to jump in and learn all there was to learn about this new phenomenon. What's so great about this place? All I see is a page with my picture and a brief bio I have created to the right? So now what?

After being on Twitter for an hour I found some AR members. Within 2 hours of my membership I had made a lunch date with Elaine Hanson!!! Wow, this place is pretty cool.

My quick search of Twitter Tools directed me to some of the most amazing sites dedicated to Twitter and third party developers who have created applications for Twitter. As a Realtor I am more interested in the business aspect of Twitter and the tools that make my discussions on Twitter easier.

So with no further ado here is a list of Twitter tools and applications I found helpful as a Tweeting Realtor:

Plugins:

Twitt-Twoo: Allows you to update your Twitter status right from your blog's sidebar.
Twitter Update: Sends an automatic update to your Twitter account when you post, edit, or update a Wordpress post.
Google Toolbar button: Allows you to see your friends tweets on your Google toolbar for IE.

Maps:
Know where your followers and people you are following on Twitter are twitting from:

GeoTwitter: Google map Based.

Mibazaar: Google map Based.

My Tweet Map: Google maps and twitter integration.

Twitt Earth: A fancy spinning globe that shows tweets.

TwitterMaps: google maps based.

TwitterVision: google maps based.

Web Services:

CrowdStatus: Allows you to organize your contacts into any group you like.
GroupTweet: Allows you to send private messages to specific groups.
PingTwitter: Allows you to automatically update your Twitter account when you publish a new post to your blog.
Timer: You can set up an alarm for things you need to remember, e.g. my birthday.
Twitzu: Allows you to broadcast your events to your followers. I think this would come in handy for open houses!!!
Twitabit: Allows you to store your tweets when Twitter is down and posts them when Twitter is back up and running.
TwitThis: Allows people to tweet about your blog posts or website.
TwitterShare: Allows you to share files less than 10 MB with other members (pictures, music, and videos).
Twist: Allows you to see trends in Twitter.

Visual Aids:

MobyPicture: Allows you to post pictures from your cell phone to your Twitter or Flicker acount.
TwitPic: Allows you to share pictures on Twitter from your phone or computer.

Widgets:

BeTwittered: A Google Widget for Twitter.
Spinlets: A Widget that displays Tweets.

And many, many more. The list above is just a few tools that I thought I would use for my business. If you want the 411 on Twitter tools please take the time and visit Mashable where you can find all that is new on the web, not just Twitter.

Happy Tweeting.

Attention Camarillo October 8 Is National Walk to School Day

Camarillo CA Real Estate Agent/ Mana Tulberg (Beach View Real Estate) — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 16:33:13 -0500

National Walk to School Day, October 8, 2008

In Case you missed the notification from Pleasant Valley School District (PVSD), I am here to remind you that Wednesday October 8, 2008 is National Walk to School Day.

In 1997, the Partnership for a Walkable America sponsored the very first National Walk to School Day in Chicago. Since then, all 50 Stats have joined this annual event to promote one main cause, a more Walkable America.

In our City of Camarillo schools such as Las Posas Elementary School will honor all students who participate in National Walk to School Day by presenting those students with a National Walk to School Day tag!

So, residents of Camarillo, I encourage you to join the rest of the country by walking your child to school for a healthier lifestyle, less traffic, cleaner air, and most importantly a chance for some bonding time.

Also, if while on your walk you happen to see a house that you wish to know more about, please don't hesitate to contact me, Mana Tulberg, your Camarillo Realtor: 805-443-8898.

Camarillo Unification Battle Continues...

Camarillo CA Real Estate Agent/ Mana Tulberg (Beach View Real Estate) — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 18:31:49 -0500

While residents of Camarillo get ready to vote on Measure U in November 4, 2008, both Pleasant Valley School District (PVSD) and Oxnard Unified High School District (OUHSD) continue their spending on their lengthy legal battle.

Payment records from the PVSD and OUHSD show that both districts have spent more than $411,000 in legal fees related to the unification issue. The PVSD has outspent OUHSD by paying $273,034 to their attorneys in the last 18 months. This all happens while school budgets are being slashed and programs are being canceled in the district. (Source: Camarillo Acorn)

In our recent conversation with the OUHSD superintendent, Dr. Dunlap, we were informed that OUHSD has retained the land in Camarillo (adjacent to Camarillo Library) and has every intention to build a high school site on this location. OUHSD has postponed building Camarillo a new high school due to unification issues. In March of this coming year, 2009, the proponents of Camarillo Unification have a standing court date which accourding to Dr. Dunlap will again delay the promissed new high school in Camarillo by OUHSD.

Measure H will allow to construct, rehabilitate, modernize and or replace school facilities. This measure has already accepted 2 high schools for OUHSD one to be build in the city of Oxnard and the other in the city of Camarillo.

Dr. Dunlap declares that OUHSD has every intention of building two high schools. Which one will come first will be decided when the Unification issues are put to rest and Measure H Bond can be disscused by the OUHSD committee. Perhaps both high schools can be built at the same time, Dr. Dunlap stated, but those are issues to take up when Unification is off the table.

If you are interested in listening to Dr. Dunlap or ask her any questions regarding Camarillo Unification you are urged to attend the OUHSD Council Meeting at Adolfo Camarillo High School's Cafeteria on Wednesday October 8, 2008 at 6:30 pm.

My question to you is: Do you really think after spending some of our Tax Dollars on legal fees do any of these Districts, OUHSD and PVSD, have enough money to deliver what they have promissed.

Also, I would love to hear your thoughts on Measure U.

The poll below is designed so your thoughts (anonymously) on Camarillo Unification can be calculated and published before November 4, 2008.

Neat Receipts: A Must Have Tool For Every Realtor

I consider myself a pretty organized person. However, between all the business related receipts and business cards I collect each month, my organized system can fail me occasionally.

Most of us keep those business receipts tucked away until time allows us to organize them into necessary categories for tax time. And who hasn't found a few receipts faded and/or torn?

Business cards are another stack I try to attack and organize when time allows. I just returned from Blog World 2008 and with the number of business cards I brought back with me, they'll need a new Rolodex of their own!

Neat Receipts to the Rescue:
Neat Receipts is a software and a handy scanner that can help organize and simplify your life. You can scan all your receipts, bills, and business cards into your PC while Neat Receipts stores everything in an appropriate folder on your PC.

"NEAT Receipts is the ultimate tool to manage your business and personal finances. It scans, reads and organizes your receipts, bills, business cards and more - then stores everything in a database on your PC. Get ready for an organized, digital life!"

The price of this nifty tool: $149.95 for Neat Receipts Version 3.0
