escondido: Pricing Rollbacks to 2002?
- 08/01/08 10:46 AM
San Diego real estate offers ripe opportunities for discovery and information indigestion digestion. We have seen San Diego real estate prices plummet in its suburban communities of Chula Vista, National City, Escondido, San Marcos, eastern Oceanside, Fallbrook and others. After all, these communities (and other like them throughout the country) are full of newer subdivisions--many of which were financed with EZ loans and fictional incomes. Established San Diego neighborhoods with lower turnover have been largely been immune from steep price declines or so I thought--until recently. We recently had a showing of a vintage and lovely 1927 home on a large corner lot in Point Loma that was offered … (4 comments)
escondido: San Diego Wi-Fi Hot Spots
- 04/23/08 09:08 AM
As a North County San Diego real estate broker, I often carry a laptop when when showing San Diego homes to clients. And so do many of our real estate clients. These days, we avoid Starbucks because they charge for their wifi service–and instead head to the closest Panera Bread, almost any public library, or other resting points where we can easily hop online. I believe that someday this will be a useless list, because wifi will be ubiquitous. But until that day, here’s a starter list of free San Diego hot spots. Some may require that you ask for a … (8 comments)
escondido: Celebrating New Year's Eve San Diego Style
- 12/30/07 02:32 PM
Many know that our family spent a number of years in Big Bear Lake, and there began our annual New Year’s Eve party tradition. In those days, our home was large enough to accommodate not only our on-and-off-the-mountain friends, but all their kids as well. There was always snow on the ground–and the celebration necessarily remained indoors. These days, the Carlsbad, CA home is smaller, but many of the same friends–and their now-grown children–still attend the Murphy New Year’s Eve gathering. And with our usual balmy Carlsbad weather, at least half the revelry occurs outdoors (assisted by a gas heater or … (2 comments)
escondido: Southern California on Fire
- 10/22/07 02:04 AM
I stayed up late last night watching the news of fires that were raging across many parts of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and San Diego Counties. Temporary shelters were being set up everywhere and smoke was thick at coastal Scripp's Encinitas Hospital where my father was taken, (winds are blowing east to west), as well as in Rancho Santa Fe where we had gone to Milles Fleurs to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. It will be a night remembered. Early pre-dawn, we were awakened by a call from our regional Reverse 911. It was a recroding which alerted us that nearby Cal … (28 comments)

A San Diego Golfer's Dream.... Once upon a time, a renowned golf teaching pro decided to create his own practice course. The setting had to be bucolic and a magnet for wildlife. The home was to be a custom one--a sprawling single story full of gentle archways and warm, inviting hues. The climate could be nothing other than perfection: San Diego County. This Australian golf pro, who is also a noted wildlife artist, just about dropped his clubs and paint brush when he first discovered this property. The grounds, with the gently rolling terrain would be perfect for his 3-hole course and instruction … (0 comments)
