Another gorgeous week in paradise with crystal blue skies, cool breezes and so far not a drop of oil in sight. The headlines haven’t kept the buyers at bay and we remain busy in the real estate business with buyers taking advantage of some of the great investment opportunities around. ...

After two back-to-back weeks with no sales we finally had a closing this week. The new contracts kept rolling in at a good pace with three news ones being penned. Five each new listings and new price tags. Our inventory remains basically unchanged, down only one since last Saturday, to ...

I hope everyone had a nice Valentines Day last Sunday. The romance lingered here in our area as a number of buyers fell in love with coastal properties and bought them for their sweeties. One went to closing, three others went under contract, and we had six new listings and ...

Greetings from the frozen south. What a topsy turvy weather week when Atlanta is brought to a standstill because of snow while Vancouver’s having to truck snow in for the Olympics. Locally we’re still running about 15 degrees below normal with day time highs hanging in the 40s. Our market ...
