CALIFORNIA CLUSTERLILY Curb Appeal is every home's first impression.  That aside, who doesn't like sitting on their front porch or in their backyard smelling and looking at a beautiful lush landscape?  It's food for the soul and one way to reduce the stress of daily living.  When developing a landscape plan, it's not just about color and texture.  There are local growing and weather considerations to consider as well.  Here in Southern California, we are in the midst of a draught and wildfires are always a threat when warm, dry and windy conditions persist.  Using native plants and those that require little to no maintainance and watering are responsible choices.  There are many options to choose from.  In SoCal there are lots of native plants that fit the low water and low maintainanc... 07/02/2008

No matter what the market, people will continue to desire to live in Corona, as it remains one of the most active cities within Riverside County. Comparatively speaking, the Corona housing market continues to post brisk sales.  In of May 2008, 418 single family homes and a total of 22 condos/townhomes sold, up from last month.  The problem is that the number of foreclosures are greater than the number of sales each month, as long as this continues prices will continue to relax. My overall view of the market is still slipping. Click Here to view the Riverside County market report.

No budget and lots of furniture made this space a challenge.  There were 2 couches and 2 love seats stuffed into this small main living area.  All the furnishings were packed towards one area of the space creating a huge hole in the kitchen.  The huge TV left few options as there were no outlets on the main living room wall.  The back of the TV protrudes making flush against the wall not possible.  The backside of the couch in the living room created a cramped and narrow entry into the home. This house is a little over 1400 sqft.  We used only existing furnishings and pulled accessories from other parts of the house. The extra couch went to a spare bedroom being replaced with a love seat.  The other love seat was turned opposite the couch to create a small reading/sitting area.  The hut... 06/27/2008

Originally posted on my website: www.therealestatefrontlines.com I speak about Eastvale on the site quite often and it’s because I love working and being out and about in the area. But I have to let those of you out there know that it’s a battle out there when it comes to purchasing a home in the area. For sake of a better term, the area is HOT! Just to give you an idea…twenty-two homes have closed in Eastvale since the beginning of the month! And yes you read that correctly 22…in 17 days…These homes have had an average price of about 365k…considering most of these homes are in the 3k square foot range. Couple this with the fact that most of the homes in the area were built after 2000, and you understand why the area is hot. To get a home you’re going to need a few tips: • PREQUAL I’ve... 06/23/2008

This is my first blog, so bear with me and my rambling... I want to share with everyone what I know, and what I have done to help people regarding the situation with the mortgage industry and the current housing market.  Believe me, selling Bank Owned and Short Sale homes, is no picnic!  I have experienced short sales that went to bankruptcy and caused the whole transaction to freeze into limbo for 45 to 90 days.  And whatever those bankruptcy laywers are telling their clients, the foreclosure does NOT GO AWAY!  When the assets are released, the foreclosure clock just keeps on ticking, like a time bomb on their credit.  And even now, with the homes that have gone back to the bank, the bidding war on the properties is like a war zone! As fellow agents, we need to communicate and educate ... 06/22/2008

Below are some in progress before and afters as this project is nearing completion.  I am a Dunn Edwards girl so the colors I selected for this job were Dunn Edwards Alluring Umber for the main body, Dunn Edwards North Territory and Navajo White as the accents.   These photos do not do the colors justice.  The goal here was to warm up a big cold looking facade and soften with landscape improvement. New exterior lighting was added where there was none to add balance and interest.  The paved walk up and patio are nearly complete.  A beautiful wall fountain has been selected and will be installed shortly as well as mediterranean style awnings over the front door and upper right set of windows.                                                                             05/05/2008
