  Christmas At The Hotel Del Coronado Christmas time in San Diego is never quite complete without a visit to the famous Hotel Del. Their Christmas displays are simply amazing and they have many things going on for their residents as well as visitors.   One of their really big draws is Skating by the Sea in it's 6th year. An outside ice skating rink was set up on the Windsor lawn right on the edge of the ocean. The enormous tree in the lobby is of course the main draw as the decorations are in themselves, each works of art. The Christmas theme this year is "Sweetness Season" and the decorations throughout the hotel and grounds add so much in the way of holiday spirit. Everywhere you look you will find sugarplums , peppermint sticks and lollipops. The stately buildings and details are com... 12/14/2010

Victorian architecture in Coronado It is often said that things start in California and move east across the country — real estate collapse, real estate recovery, etc. However, when it comes to architecture, it's pretty obvious that things started back east and moved west across the country. San Diego doesn't really have an architectural style of its own, certainly nothing like Santa Fe's adobe, or San Francisco's Victorian, or Chicago's prairie school. Instead, San Diego is a conglomeration of lots of styles, more prevalent in some areas than others. For example, if you go to Coronado, you can find just about any style that interests you. Following is one of my favorite houses in Coronado, a beautiful and well-maintained house that I want to say is Victorian architecture, but I really... 10/17/2010

Should Ghost Hunters Come to The Hotel Del Coronado? If you are anything like me, you can not wait for Wednesday night and the next episode of Ghost Hunters. I love to see the locations TAPS are going to visit and what they may find. I love how they visit so many historic places with years of reported haunting. I have a few personal experiences with the paranormal, and find it fascinating. In a recent episode, TAPS was doing an investigation at the Orleans Inn in Cape Cod. I said to my husband who hates loves the show as much as I do, "Wouldn't it be great for TAPS to investigate The Del?" He mumbled something that sounded like "I could give a  That would be cool!" The Hotel Del Coronado is one of San Diego's greatest tourist attractions.

Most Realtors and home owners agree that it is still a buyer's market around the country and here locally in Coronado and San Diego.  However, sales are increasing and home prices have risen in some areas in 2010. Even though the qualification process for home loans is more stringent these days, money is still being lent and interest rates remain at all time lows. If you already own your dream home it might be time to consider a second home or real estate investment in San Diego. In addition, it's still a great time to sell a home.  As a seller, one of the first things you must evaluate is the desirability of your location. While the national economy and housing market are important to a certain degree, the market conditions you should be looking at are localized statistics. Markets an... 08/01/2010

San Diego Real Estate Photo Blog- Coronado Island   The city of Coronado was established in 1888. It is home to the world famous Hotel Del Coronado and is accessed today via the Coronado Bridge.

Way back in the 1960s and 1970s, a condo developer (probably from Florida) decided that the City of Coronado needed ten 15-story luxury condominium towers overlooking the city and its famous beaches. At the time there were no zoning laws to prevent the developer from doing what developers like to do: develop! While the first tower was being built, the City tried to enforce a 40-foot height limit, but there was no law in place stating such a limit. The City lost, and the first tower was completed in June 1971. While subsequent condominium towers were being built, the City and its 26,000 citizens were deciding that never again would a developer come into Coronado and build monster towers in its domain. Buildings now are limited to a height of 40-feet or three stories, which is part of wh... 02/05/2010

Nine Coronado Island real estate listings closed in January 2010 per the Sandicor MLS. The sale prices ranged from $540,000 to $2,100,000. Sale price/square foot ranged from $462.50/sf to $1,627.02/sf. Six of the nine closed Coronado Island real estate listings were detached homes (the other three were condos. Six of the nine were transactions in which each side had it's own agent (a seller's agent and a buyer's agent). Three of the nine were possible dual agent scenarios. These three transactions had one brokerage representing both the buyer and the seller (interestingly enough, it was the same brokerage for all three transactions). Sandicor lists the selling brokerage and the buyer's brokerage as the same brokerage, but it is unclear whether the brokerage was working only for the sell... 02/05/2010

One of the great tourist traps in San Diego County is Coronado Island, although technically it's a peninsula. One of the great little museums to visit in Coronado is the Coronado Historical Association Museum of History and Art at 1100 Orange Avenue.

Frank Baum was born in Chittenango, New York, and oftened wintered in the San Diego area, usually in Coronado and La Jolla. He owned a home in Coronado overlooking Star Park: Back in 1886 when Star Park was dedicated, the star you see in the picture were flowers.

Glen Bell Jr., founder of the Taco Bell restaurant chain, passed away Sunday in his home at Rancho Santa Fe, California.
