Santa Monica, CA : Another destination city for tourists and movie buffs from all over the Globe. Would you believe it, Santa Monica is less than eight miles to Beverly Hills? Most tourists head to the Santa Monica Pier to get their first viewing of the Pacific Ocean. Then from there they start branching out to the various directions. In case you did not know this is where Route 66 ends, that is at the Santa Monica Pier.I always bring our friends and visitors to the beach, but we do it in the form of visiting Shutters on The Beach and/or Casa del Mar the sister Luxury Hotels. They are the only two hotels in Santa Monica that have the beach as their back yard. Just as an interesting trivia many years ago, as in about three decades ago before it became Casa del Mar, it was the home to th... 04/30/2021

The city consists of less than six square miles and many tourist have probably walked only about two square miles of it.

Penultimate Puzzle Pieces

By Michael Jacobs, Los Angeles Pasadena 818.516.4393

Penultimate Puzzle PiecesIt’s kinda fitting in some ways. I received my first Covid vaccination on Thursday, April 1 - April Fools' Day. Was that some kind of message? And yesterday, the 29th (the next to the last day of the month) I received shot number two. I can’t describe the experience as “the ultimate” or particularly “eventful” but perhaps penultimate is just the right word. After all, it fits, right?

Now You See It, Now You Don't - Thanks for the Memories

The Encina Power Station - Soon to be Only a Memory The Encina Power Plant, with its very obvious smokestack, has been an iconic landmark on the Carlsbad seacoast for decades. It was constructed in the 1950s and was officially retired in December 11, 2018 and is being dismantled - the demolition began earlier this year. The new power station, the Carlsbad Energy Center, began operation on December 12, 2018. Whether you like the look of the plant and the towering smokestack or not, it certainly grabs attention, and can be seen for miles from the freeway north and south, and other inland vantage points. And of course beyond being a part of Carlsbad's history it's provided electricity for thousands of homes all these years. Some residents are happy to see the power plant disappearing... 05/05/2021

Cinco De Mayo - Lived Simply

By Myrl Jeffcoat, Greater Sacramento Real Estate Agent

There are days when living life simply is richer than days experienced in luxury. For me, this is one of those days.I woke at 6:30 am, and by 7:10 am, lane 1 at the California Family Fitness Pool held my occupancy for the next 90 minutes. Weather in Sacramento today is expected to elevate to the upper 80s. When I arrived back home after my swim, there was just enough time to blow dry my hair, before "The View" came on. Today, as many of you know is Cinco De Mayo. So, for lunch, I drove to Adalberto's Mexican Food, went through the drive-thru, and ordered up their great fish tacos. Once home, little was left to do, but pop the cap on a Cerveza Dos Equis Amber, sit down and dine. I suspect once this post is published, I'll observe another Mexican tradition in honor of this special ... 05/05/2021

So far this year, mortgage rates continue to hover around 3%, encouraging many hopeful homebuyers to enter the housing market. However, there’s a good chance rates will increase later this year and going into 2022, ultimately making it more expensive to borrow money for a home loan. Here’s a look at what several experts have to say. Danielle Hale, Chief Economist, realtor.com: “Our long-term view for mortgage rates in 2021 is higher. As the economic outlook strengthens, thanks to progress against coronavirus and vaccines plus a dose of stimulus from the government, this pushes up expectations for economic growth . . . .” Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist, National Association of Realtors (NAR): “In 2021, I think rates will be similar or modestly higher . . . mortgage rates will continue to... 05/05/2021

http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com: The ADP reported only 742k in new private payrolls today, which missed the 800k forecasts. However, March's data was revised higher from the initial at 517k to 565k. Also, the ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI dropped in April from 63.7 to 62.7, which forecasts called for 64.3. Both reports disappointed the Markets early on; however Stocks regained their Positive position. Most are realizing that the ADP number, even though it missed, it's still a very good number, which we haven't seen in a long while. Meanwhile, Janet Yellen clarified her remarks from the interview released yesterday that she wasn't trying to predict or influence the Fed into changing their stance on raising rates. MBS started a little lower today, but quickly went to "near" Unchanged ... 05/05/2021

What’s the Value of My Carlsbad Home? Carlsbad Market Report for April 2021 The Carlsbad real estate market continues to evolve, with some shifts from last month and 1 year ago. These data do not include private sales or manufactured/mobile/multi-family housing (the numbers are derived from our MLS and are believed to be accurate at the time they are reported but are not guaranteed). Media reports speak in general terms, and do not reflect our local Carlsbad housing market. Current data, and information, about the local market conditions benefit you so you can make well-informed purchase and sale decisions about Carlsbad homes for sale.
