Muirlands, La Jolla 92037

Muirlands is a large, primarily residential neighborhood located in south-central La Jolla. The natural wonders of its hilly woodland terrain echo its namesake, conservationist John Muir. Although this is a quiet locale, the dining and entertainment of the Village and the beautiful Windansea Beach are only a couple of minutes away. La Jolla Country Club to the north provides residents with both golfing and beautiful scenery.

Muirlands Homes & Schools

Muirlands is also a prime area for education: it’s home to Muirlands Middle School and The Evans School (pre–6th), while La Jolla High School lies right on its western border. The main thoroughfares are La Jolla Scenic Drive, Muirlands Drive and Nautilus Street. Because its lofty vantage point makes for spectacular ocean views, prices tend to be somewhat steep, but those seeking luxury are sure to find it here in spades.

Congress Failed To Act on extending the conforming loan limits that determines the maximum size of a mortgage that FHA, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) can buy or guarantee. Because Congress failed to act the maximum FHA, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac conforming loan limit in San Diego County will decline to $546,250 from $697,500. This means that the Federal Government will not guarantee a loan that is one dollar over $546,250.  

This Means that more than 30,000 California home buyers throughout the State will be effected by the change to the conforming loan limits.  Since Congress failed to act these home buyers will have to get a Non-conforming or jumbo loan that typically carry's a higher mortgage interest rate than a conforming loan. Now they will be required to have a higher down payment and it will increase their monthly payment. This will negatively impact the housing affordability for these and other California home buyers and will probably cause them to not buy a home. At a time when the housing market needs help Congress failed to act.

Before The September 30th Deadline  Congressmen Gary Miller, Brad Sherman, and John Campbell as well as Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer all introduced bills that would of either made permanent or extended the loan limit and Congress failed to act.

What We Will Need To Do is stay active and work with our Congressman to continue to fight and get the loan limits back to where they were. I know the National Association Of Realtors and the California Association Of Realtors will continue to remain vigilant in the fight to turn back the loan limits. We cannot afford to let our Congress fail to act again.

La Jolla Community Raising Money For Kids is one of the most important events we can have. The weekend of October 1 & 2 of 2011 was the La Jolla Art & Wine Festival that was held to raise money for the three La Jolla area public schools. Like many other communities around the United States, raising money for the community schools is the norm now a days. It is hard to believe that the State of California is willing to cut public education, but that is another subject that I will not get into.

The Important Thing Here is that the La Jolla community raising money for kids to help fund programs such as art, music, science, physical education and technology. This event donated all the proceeds to the three area public schools - La Jolla, Torrey Pines, and Bird Rock Elementary. These three La Jolla public schools receive the least amount of funding in the financially troubled San Diego Unified School District. So lets be thankful that the La Jolla community is raising money for these kids.

The Event Was Excellent with art works that were just breath taking. With over 100 established and emerging artist the event had everything a home would need. There was a “gourmet food court," that offered a variety of foods to choose from as well as live music, a family fun center, and of course beer and wine gardens. There were 20 wineries as well as 6 differant breweries that donated their products and time to make this a wonderful day well spent.

I Do Not Know how much money was donated to the schools but the most important part of the event was that the community came together to help the kids. So, you would have to say, the La Jolla Art & Wine Festival was a total success and a big thank you to the La Jolla community  raising money for kids.
