Crescent City is one of the most affordable coastal communties left in California!

By
Real Estate Agent with North Woods Realty, Inc.

Being a native Californian and having lived most of my life on the great North Coast, I have found that Crescent City is one of the most affordable coastal communities left in this glorious state.  From San Diego to Los Angeles to Long Beach to Santa Rosa and finally way up here to Crescent City, I have seen some pretty extraordinary homes and gardens with humongous price tags in the millions!  Currently the median home price is about $250,000, which is far less that most coastal communities.  There are oceanfront homes currently on the market starting at $500,000!  What a great deal!  The clean air, giant redwood trees and rugged coastline that surrounds us is like a slice of paradise!  Come on up here and see what I'm talking about!  A little slice of paradise right here on earth in the great northwest!

Hi Judy, it sounds lovely. How about some more details like airports and cities in proximity? And maybe some photos? Thanks for letting us in on it!

Thanks for your comments.  Photos are on their way.  I'm new to Active Rain and just need to learn how to post them!  Crescent City is located on the most northwestern part of the state about 20 miles from the Oregon border right on the coast.  We have a small airport here in town that goes to Sacramento and San Francisco daily.  The nearest "big" airport and city is Medford Oregon which is about a 2 hour communte from here.   We have a great small friendly hometown feel here.  The population is about 4500 here in town.

Hey Judy, and Welcome to the Rain!

Kevin Sandridge, here.  I joined the Active Rain community not too long ago myself and wanted to drop a line to share some of the good vibes and welcome wishes I have received already.

I'm very excited about this community - basically because folks seem so willing to help out, provide industry insight, and share their good news and experiences!

When I started out on Activer Rain, I felt a little overwhelmed.  I hope the following points and suggested sites will help bring you into the mix!  Just my way of saying that I'm glad you're here.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One:  Be sure to include a good amount of information on your profile page.  Check out the profiles on other Realtor's sites here on Active Rain who are listed as "Featured" or "Tops" in their area (look for high point totals).  You'll find that this will seriously boost your presence on ActiveRain - via the added points. 

Two: I urge you to keep blogging on this site!  You will be AMAZED at the awesome feedback you receive very soon after they hit the network!  I use Google Reader to subscribe to blogs that provide me with ideas about what I'd like to comment on - both industry wise and just for fun!  Check it out I am more than willing to step you through the site and to help you get a few more blog posts generated if you wish - as a way of adding some value and paying forward some good networking vibes!  :)

Three: Be sure to add in a good number of posts about what you think and consider pertinent regarding your area of expertise!  You'll notice that many if not all of the Featured posting bloggers here on AR do this.

Lastly, I do quite a lot of work via social networks, email campaigns, and relationship building.  If I can ever be of any assistance, don't hesitate to ask.

Here are a few great sites to visit (some of my favorites).  If you like the information they provide, be sure to let them know I sent you!

  • Bloodhoung Blog - Greg Swann, Bloodhound Realty (They also offer a FREE RE Blog Service!) Note: These guys are way, way, way ahead of the curve.  Hold on tight.  It's gonna be a wild ride!

  • Real Estate Tomato - site maintained by Jim Cronin.  A must see for new Real Estate Bloggers!

  • Seth Godin's Blog - The Reigning Permission Marketing Guru.  Check out his latest book, Tribes!

  • The Real Estate Zebra - Daniel Rothamel is a one of a kind inspiration in the Real Estate Blogging arena.  Do yourself a favor and check out his site.

  • Jeff Turner's Main Page - Jeff is always on top of what's happening in the world of social networking and media!  Absolutely make this page a part of your learning experience!

  • The Florida Mortgage Blogger - Ok - so I had to plug my own site!  Check it out.  Would love to have you on as a subscriber! 

Looking forward to what you'll share with us all here on Active Rain!  :)

Blessings,

Kevin Sandridge

I do love the Northern California coast line. It is so much better than southern California, yet that is what they always use in the movies. I would do a post with pictures of your coast and show everyone the real beauty of your coast line. Welcome to the rain and hope to see you around.

Welcome to Active Rain! This is a great website for building your business, as well as learning from others.  Pat yourself on the back, because you made a GREAT choice in joining the blogosphere!

Write often, and write whatever comes to mind.  Blogs about personal topics and non-real estate items are often the best.  It helps your readers to bond with you, and ends up bringing you a lot of business!

Good luck with your future blogging.  If you'd like more info on points in Active Rain, I wrote a blog about it (click here). Feel free to ask me any questions if you need a hand!
