Have you ever gone NUTS trying to figure out a program...well I have tonight - over 2 hours on MS Excell trying to make a simple chart.

so here is the spreadsheet by itself...

Lots of good data here, broken down month by month.  If you look, you'll see the number of … (0 comments)

san jacinto: Look Out San Jacinto CA – I see Vultures Circling - 11/19/09 10:22 AM
San Jacinto, CA may be having more than its fair share of problems with the recent indictments of 4 of the 5 City Council Members - to include our Mayor and five others.  I am not here to condemn. Convict or even pardon the actions of the accused.
Let's remember, they are only accused.  Have you never been wrongfully accused at some time in your life?  I know I had.  At one point in my life I took the attitude that if the accusation is made then there must be some thread of truth to the charges.  All I'm going to … (4 comments)

san jacinto: What Flavor is Your Investor Kool-Aid? - 11/15/09 02:03 AM
I met with an investor client for the first time yesterday afternoon after spending a short time on the phone with him, after he found me through my Internet presence (can't be sure, but I think it was from here- ActiveRain).The REO property he had definitely wanted to see was a newer 4 bedroom home listed in the mid $140's.  Unfortunately for him it went into escrow on Friday.  Good for me, because it just reinforced what I told him during the week - that good house sell very quickly in this market.Once we got together, we went over 7 homes … (7 comments)

san jacinto: Do Big Box Stores have a Negative or Positive effect on Real Estate Values? - 11/12/09 11:27 PM
The Hemet - San Jacinto. CA Valley has something going for it that most people don't easily recognize or understand why it has happened.  We are a sleepy valley off the beaten path of Southern California - the closest freeway on ramp is about 15 miles - and that is hard to find in SoCal!  Our population - for the entire valley is maybe 100,000 - not a big slice considering the millions who live in the Southland.  We certainly are nor a rich or exclusive community - the average home sell for about $130,000 - far less than most other areas … (12 comments)

No matter who you are there is one universal truth that we will all be able to agree upon, once you see this raw video footage of the new listing at 133 La Boca in San Jacinto CA, 92582.Taking in the footage of the 1642 square foot home on the corner lot in West San Jacinto with it's fresh paint and new carpet does not change this universal truth for anyone.
The fact that this home has a nice concrete slab patio or new kitchen appliances won't change this one bit.It does not matter that this home has a den that … (0 comments)

The song by CLASH, with the same name as this article, may have been a hit back in 1981, when they asked the question that seems to be the question of today, "Should I Stay or Should I Go?"Today, however, the question takes on a more serious tone than the confused singer in his tumultuous love affair begging for confirmation as the chorus ends with the line...         If I go there will be trouble            An if I stay it will be double            So come on and let me know(LISTEN HERE)The tone of the question today, of course, if focused on the housing … (6 comments)
