Yes Cameron, that's the total number of single family homes for sale in our city. Now we do have condos & "attached" homes that brings it up to about 90 for sale.  Not many at all compared to other cities around.

I say "attached" homes because not all of these in the City of Brea are zoned as condos, yet most home buyers think of them that way. Some are actually PUD"s so when you search sometimers thery show up under the single family catagory, but you may have someone on each side of you and association dues that are comparable to most condos. That's why I lump them together with condos when doing a report.

Thanks for the drop by visit!

I love your video market report!  I really got to get more into the video side so I can do some great market reports too! Our are the same....attached homes show up as single family.  We have the 'attached' with both sides having occupants and then the single family attached like duplex style. I would lump those both side ones with the townhouse style units.

Aloha Sally ~ Thanks for the info, I think at times it can really be confusing for consumers trying to identify the different types of property.

Bill ~ Yes I am, thx!

Lynda -- I have to add some interest to my market reports.  What I liked here was the added interest of having a video but also that you kept the video short and still informative..  Nicely done.

Hello Richard,

Thank you so much for the visit and lovely comment.

I've been trying to creat a virtual transaction for both home buyers and sellers, when it comes to various aspects of buying and selling a home.

Yet there are many other topics including the one that speak for themselves, and do not require my face...IMHO sometimes less is more.

Thank you again!
