Home Loan Interest Rates Are Going Up! Here Is Why!  The Federal Reserve revealed in the minutes of the last Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting that it has decided to implement a "balance sheet reduction program" of its estimated $4.5 trillion balance sheet. This will increase the  supply of mortgage backed securities, treasury bonds and other debt obligations which we believe will decrease the price and thus increase the yield of the instruments which home loan interst rates follow.As median income continues to not keep pace with the increase in real estate prices, interest rates and other increases to the overal cost of ownership, real estate market values could suffer. Potential home sellers may want to take advantage of this opportunity to sell their home now before prices... 06/26/2017

$5 Million Jade Buddha in Escondido 2010  Way back in early 2010 I just happened to stumble on a $5 million Jade Buddha, after visiting my Escondido listing a short distance away. Numerous cars on a hill in the field that shouldn't have been there, and multicolored flags, caught my attention, so I had to check it out. After my visit and some great photo ops, I did a little research and learned that what I had seen was the Jade Buddha of Universal Peace on a world tour, making an appearance at the Phap Vuong Monastery in Vista. The gemstone-quality Jade Buddha was created from one 18-ton stone (it weighs about 4 tons), and is the largest of its kind in the world. I felt blessed to have seen it!! 04/06/2017

"How does having a mall close to your neighborhood impact RE values?" I asked the question below in a previous post right after this past December's "Black Friday" and was surprised to realize how many folks were relatively Pollyanna and/or indifferent about what is starting to look like a looming reality.   "I'm seeing the numbers coming in from Wall street already about this holiday's sales numbers. Black Friday had over 2 billion in online sales and they hadn't even tabulated what on-site store sales were but it wasn't looking too good. The reality is that this is nothing new. In house store sales have been suffering for the past decade or so while online sales i.e. Amazon have been soaring along with the stock.  What would happen to RE values in your particular neighborhood should m... 01/06/2017
