relocation: What the Heck are Story Poles? - 07/09/07 09:09 AM
Have you ever driven around one of the coastal communities and noticed a series of tall white poles, or perhaps 2 X 4s, in a vacant lot or in the yard of an existing home? You may also have noticed ropes or wires running between them and they may have had a series of different colored flags or ribbons hanging from them.

These are known as Story Poles (a local company in Encinitas, C-Story Poles does much of the story pole installation in the area and you will see their signage everywhere you see the … (13 comments)

relocation: Smart Growth in Carlsbad, California - 05/19/07 04:44 PM
Carlsbad has a very good reputation as a desirable community for a variety of reasons. One is the excellent school system which has won awards a number of times and most recently had elementary schools that were voted the Best of the Best in California.
Carlsbad also has excellent arts programs, which include the Cannon Art Gallery (with a number of shows each year and family day activities for each show that are free to the public), the Museum of Making Music, and the TGIF Jazz in the Park series (9 shows) on Fridays in the summer, also free to the … (1 comments)

relocation: Want to Impress Your Relocation Clients? - 05/17/07 05:40 AM
Many of us work with folks who are relocating to our respective areas. I do, and I particularly enjoy doing so. Part of the reason is personal - I have relocated a bit myself and I take some pride is understanding what it's like and being able to assist others with their relocation more effectively as a result.
I probably don't need to preach to the choir - those of you who are experts at relocation clients already know what to do and how to best assist these buyers. And maybe you will share your secrets to success, too.
Here are some thoughts … (32 comments)

relocation: Rancho Santa Fe Real Estate - Luxury Homebuyer's Paradise in San Diego - 04/24/07 10:11 AM
Rancho Santa Fe (downtown, shown left), in San Diego's North County, is a bucolic and affluent residential community on rolling hills filled with Eucalyptus trees and orchards.
 
Years ago thousands of Eucalyptus trees were planted to be used for the railroad, but the wood turned out to not be appropriate, but the thousands of trees remain and add to the beauty of Rancho Santa Fe and the countryside.
 
Located about 5 miles inland from the ocean (adjacent to and east of Del Mar, Solana Beach and Encinitas) and perhaps 20 miles from San Diego, the Rancho Santa Fe community offers the best … (7 comments)

relocation: Market Data for FEBRUARY 2007 - Carlsbad, CA - 03/09/07 01:32 AM
Here are the summary MLS statistics for February 2007 for Carlsbad(all 4 zip codes).
An important caveat - these data are based on only 2 months of information (YTD), so with a limited sample the statistics (e.g., median, average time on market, etc.) can shift. It is best to watch the market over longer periods of time to gain a good idea of what is happening.
There are some trends that are worth noting here, and the next few months will likely reveal the direction that the market is taking.
First, the inventory in Carlsbad has dropped a little from the previous month (and … (1 comments)

relocation: Want to Live in A Musical Community? Try the Composer District - Cardiff - 03/06/07 04:33 PM
Nestled on the hill facing the grand Pacific Ocean, just north of Birmingham Avenue, lies an area of Cardiff (Cardiff-by-the-Sea - links to the city website) known as the Composer District.
 
This neighborhood of detached and attached homes and condos was developed in the early 1900s by Victor Kremer, a music publisher and land developer.
 
Because of his fondness for music, the streets in this area are all named after composers (Rubenstein, Gershwin, Bach, Mozart, Liszt, Verdi, Chopin, Vivaldi, Haydn, Schubert, Rossini, and Brahms).
 
There are several other streets in the Composer District area that migrate from adjacent areas (Summit, Westminster, Stratford, San … (7 comments)
