Small is Beautiful - in 2010 Most Buyers Agree!

02/06/2010

No photo available!  
So recent surveys show that buyers in 2010 tend to prefer smaller homes. Well, it's about time!!! With greater efficiency, lower costs to maintain, heat, cool and less negative impact on the environment, all we can say is Hooray!!! If the floor plan is open and well designed, even a 1300 sq. ft. house can feel as spac...Click Here To Read More

Property Tax Reduction for Decline-In-Value of Real Estate

01/10/2010

No photo available!  
Under California's Proposition 8 (no, not that Prop 8 -- this Prop 8 was passed in 1978) you may be entitled to a temporary reduction in assessed value if your home suffers a decline-in-value. A decline-in-value occurs when the current market value of your property is less than the current assessed value as of January ...Click Here To Read More

Happy 2009. It's your turn!

01/05/2009

 
Congrats! You made it through the crazy boom years when all of your friends were saying "buy now, or you'll never be able to afford it." You resisted all of those great houses and all of those not so great loans. You got your credit in shape and maybe even saved some money toward a down payment. And now your time h...Click Here To Read More  

The Challenge Continues

11/18/2008

The passage of Proposition 8 on November 4, 2008, which ostensibly overturns the right of same sex couples to marry in the State of California, is not the end of the story. Protests continue to take place across the nation and multiple challenges are pending in the Courts.

Now is the Time to Look and Buy

06/18/2008

No photo available!  
Housing prices have fallen to levels not seen since 2004, interest rates are still low but creeping up steadily and inventory of modern homes in all price ranges is high. Anyone who has been sitting on the sidelines wondering when to buy, now is the time to start looking again. Finally, there is hope again on the hous...Click Here To Read More  

At Long Last - Congratulations!!!

To all of our same-sex clients, loved ones, friends and family members who have dreamed for years of the day they could legally marry, CONGRATULATIONS!!! While there are still hurdles to be cleared in California (in November) and nationally, we know and believe in our hearts that love will triumph over hatred, bigotry...Click Here To Read More  

Upcoming Valley Tour, "Spectacular Vernacular"

*This was originally posted on the Lotta Livin' bulletin board by Chris Nichols and is reposted here without anyone's permission...shhhh!*

Have you ever stood in your living room and thought, “I wonder why my house has that interesting window?” or “Why does my fireplace look just like the one I saw in that Schindler...Click Here To Read More
 

Should I wait to buy until prices go down?

06/08/2006

Subliminal message- Buy this house, or you will be sorry!  
This is the question we keep hearing from buyers lately. They see the relaxing prices combined with the greatly increased inventory and take this as a signal that prices will be going way down. They deduce that they might be better off waiting for a year until prices have gone down more and they can get a better deal....Click Here To Read More  

Torch Song for Tiki

01/30/2006

 
The Coconut Grove. Trader Vics. Don the Beachcombers. The Outrigger. Tiki Bob's. The Tropicana. And now, the Aku Aku Motel in Woodland Hills. One more Tiki relic soon to succumb to the foreboding sameness that's been steadily steamrolling our wild and wayward, beautiful past.

What are they thinking?

Future of Historic Sportsmen's Lodge Uncertain

01/24/2006

 
The future of the Sportsmen's Lodge (Coldwater Canyon & Ventura Blvd. in Studio City)is in doubt. Some residents still remember when it was known as Trout Lakes in the late 1930's to mid-1950's, when families came to fish in the trout-stocked lakes. Later, when the hotel was built, the lakes became home to Lodge's fami...Click Here To Read More
