To best serve buyers and investors, builders are interested in what amenities are most sought after currently.

Buying your first home can come with mixed emotions. It can be exciting, fun, scary and also be stressful. Not only is applying for your first home loan a learning experience it can also be a slow process. That’s okay, if time is on your side, but in many cases, it simply is not.

private money loan: An Increase in Buyers is Changing the Real Estate Market - 1.20.2012 - 01/20/13 01:23 PM
 
Buying patterns impact any market.
As I have posted in previous blogs, the real estate market looks different from last year. In most cases, healthier. Today I found a Union Tribune San Diego article that further confirms this sentiment. The article includes one report of their being twice as many buyers this month, than in January of last year.
Regardless of the industry, it always comes down to supply and demand. The number of buyers and their activity level determine the price and the health of a particular market.

Hooray for Hollywood!

Lately, I’ve got Hollywood on the brain! I started producing comedy and music shows in San Diego a little over two years ago. Later this month I will be producing my first comedy show in Los Angeles. Hollywood to be specific.

Another thing that’s different about California.

You never know who will be a star.

Tonight we learned that San Diego sweetheart, Jessica Sanchez was the runner up and  Phillip Phillips of Leesburg, Georgia was crowned the winner of American Idol.

Although neither won the show’s title, they remain two of the biggest household … (0 comments)

Mom's take on unbelieveable challenges, but the rewards are so worth it!

Sunday is Mother’s Day. Being a parent is, in my opinion one of the most challenging jobs on the planet. With all challenges, also come rewards. I am certain if you talk to any involved mom or dad, they would tell you how rewarding their role is. They would undoubtedly share how every challenge they have had to face with their children has been worth it.
I’m not a parent, unless you count my beautiful dog Ginger. Then I am a very involved mom for sure! I … (2 comments)
