Over the span of my real estate career I have had numerous Senior clients move to Seal Beach’s Leisure World (and if you’re curious, they love it there). One of my clients is planning on moving next year and was curious what her Glendale condo would sell for. While running comps (comparables) I came across some amusing MLS photos.
My home stager and friend Charis will be horrified over these….
Note the boxes stacked up in the first photo (living room). Nothing says anxious seller more than boxes in the living room. Umbrellas Continue reading post…

When it comes to Staten Island pricier real estate communities Richmondtown, Staten Island is defiantly no stranger to the luxury home segment. By the way, there needs to be a debate about whether the town is exactly 2 words or one. I frequently see it as two, Richmond Town. Being a lifelong Staten Islander I’m petty sure it’s one word… Richmondtown. Please feel free to shed some light on that fact.
The town is located on the southern foot of Lighthouse Hill, abutting the towns of Oakwood and New Dorp to its southeast. In this latest report on home sales in the area there were a few that nearly crossed seven figure territory. 273 Natick St. took the top sales number in the NYC Department of Finance’s latest report on home sales. The over

March is often considered a barometer of what the year will hold for the housing industry, and it did not offer hope for a strong rebound of homebuying in Inland Southern California in 2011.
Reporting Wednesday on Southland home sales and prices for March, DataQuick of San Diego blamed lackluster results on “a fussy mortgage market, slow job growth and a continued wait-and-see attitude among potential buyers and sellers.”
Perceived bargains are attracting investors. In Riverside County, absentee buyers who are mostly investors and buyers of second homes accounted for 32.4 percent of home sales, the highest percentage since January, 2000, which is as far back as DataQuick can check.

March almost took a photo of February home sales data and handed it in to us… March saw 187 home sales take place that’s a small bump upward from February’s 183 residential units that sold. So, what do the numbers say about the market currently, not a whole lot. The not so good news is, Staten Island has seen fewer than 200 residential sales in all but three of the last twelve months. On the other hand, actual home sales seem to have reached a post homebuyer tax rebate equilibrium. Meaning home sales have not dipped or rose in any sustained trend in the last 8 months.
In the three months ahead it will really be a tell tale sign whether the Staten Island real estate market is, in fact, improving overall. Painstakingly for many, waiting for some progress in home sales, is like watching oil paint dry on a humid summer day. As the
