Announcement

After years of laboring in the fields at the RB Sun, I have agreed to write as a regular columnist at the Pomerado Newspaper chain -- the Poway Chieftain, Rancho Bernardo Journal, The Corridor, etc.

Basically, my column will be published twice as often, and have six times the readership each time.

While this is a good "career move" for me, it is with some regret that I leave the RB Sun who published me for many years.

A new chapter has been opened...

December Real Estate

The real estate market is not getting any better, or worse for that matter. It is stable at "bad."

The good news is that other areas are selling, and in fact some are selling pretty well considering this is always the slow time of the year. Even in the meadows, a few REALLY well-priced homes continue to sell, although at a $50,000 or more reduction than last year or the year before.

Still, if you must sell, you can do so. My opinion is that the maket is stable, just at a lower rate than previously.

AFTER the Christmas Holidays, we can better analyze the market. Nothing much happens at Christmas -- although I did once sell a home on Christmas Day. If a Buyer really needs a home, no day is sacrosanct.
