If your home is on the market in Sacramento and you're not getting any offers, the problem might not be price. It might be price range. The Trendgraphix report for January 2009 shows that only 5% of the home sales closed at sales prices exceeding $400,000. Wow. I looked at older Trendgraphix repo...

Sacramentans' perception of Galt -- especially those who have never been to the city -- is that it's a long way from downtown, but it's really not any further to drive than to some parts of Elk Grove. Lots of law enforcement officials live in Galt, too. It's only 32 minutes from downtown Sacramen...

The success of a short sale depends largely on the listing agent. Fact: If that listing agent is not a short sale specialist, the escrow will take a long time to close, if it closes at all. Over the years, I've pretty much streamlined my short sale process in Sacramento, and I don't "farm-out" th...

OK, I didn't really fall asleep, I just felt like I was sleeping or perhaps wished I was sleeping, all snug and warm in the comforts of my own multi-cat infested bed instead of sitting at Mondavi Center in Davis to see the Punch Brothers. That's not to say the Punch Brothers are awful, because th...

My husband and I finally found time to check out the new buffet restaurant that just opened in Sacramento. The World Seafood & Sushi Buffet is located south of Land Park, past Fruitridge on the east side of Freeport near Claudia.  It's a non-descript building. We showed up for lunch last Wednesda...

Many first-time home buyers for Land Park think they cannot afford Land Park prices; however, that is not necessarily true. The secret is to hire an experienced Land Park real estate agent who can find them for you. Some homes in Land Park are overpriced, but only a Land Park real estate agent c...

I talked with Paula Swayne this morning who managed to make it to the Land Park Community Association meeting last night. She reports more than 150 people were present, some with proxies in hand, no doubt. The sides appeared divided, and the meeting went on for three long hours. I tallied the vot...

My grandmother was born in Hungary in 1903 and passed away in 1988. She told me shortly before her death that she was tired of living and was ready to go. I've never really understood that concept but perhaps I'm not old enough yet to reach that conclusion. I can't fathom it. But then I'm in rela...

Having a large presence on the web for a Sacramento real estate agent can be both a blessing and a curse. The benefit from being everywhere online is my phone rings a lot. The drawback is some of those callers are, to put it politely, insane. But as any veteran real estate agent will tell you, ev...
