Another scammer trying to take your money! My mom told me of a recent call (but an old scam) from a young person starting with "Hi grandma!" The scam is to pretend like they're a relative in trouble, out of the country maybe, and need money wired to get home. Preying on the elderly in so many cases!

WARNING! SCAM ALERT!!
I just got a very convincing call from SDGE, because their customer service number, 800-411-7343, displayed on my screen. They threatened cut my service off if I didn't pay my bill by tomorrow, of $400+. Long story short, I was able to check my current and previous bills, current and paid automatically, and called SDGE on this same number, where the message states they are aware of such scams. Be careful! Let your friends, parents, relatives know, anyone that might be susceptible to these dirtbags!

Some tips on renovating, whether it's in preparation for selling your home or if you want to renovate to fit your own needs and desires.
If you're planning to sell, ask me about the Compass Concierge product. It's a loan that provides you with funds up front to renovate, or to use in other ways to prepare for selling. And it's paid back at closing, if you list with me, your Compass agent!
No costs, no interest charged. It's a great program!
More updates on the housing market. If you're on the fence about selling your home, give me a call and I can help you make a plan. Depending upon your circumstances, it may be a great time to sell, but not necessarily! Give me a call!

An unorthodox view of my newest listing, which will hit the market this week. The views are of the back of the home taken from the hiking trails in the hills above Los Coches Road (east side). The home is in the Wildflower community, you can see many of the homes and the community park. This is an open space area owned by the county, I remember it being a dairy many years ago, and there are still remnants of a building and perhaps a water cistern. Anyhow, the home is in a nice community, with nature at your back door!

For sale... look at all that free space behind!
Here's an answer to one of those questions I've been asked of late, "What will happen with the real estate market in 20201?"
NAR (National Assoc. of Realtors) Economist Lawrence Yun concluded that 2020 was a recession year, but in 2021 with the vaccine discovery and availability, it will be positive. The interest rate environment will continue to be low and inflation not really a problem. Mortgage rates should remain stable near 3% all the way through 2021. He predicted 2020 would end with a 20% increase in new home sales and a 3% increase in existing-home sales compared to 2019. In 2021, he expects new home sales to rise a whopping 23% and existing-home sales to rise 9%. After a 6% rise this year, he expects home prices will rise a more modest 3% in 2021.
I don't have a crystal ball, but I do predict I'll have the time and experience to help you with all of your real estate needs in 2021! But you'll need to contact me!
A good day, time to go home and keep it going!

The view from the MLS detail sucked until last week. Truncation, formatting issues, missing fields, and more. It's better now, BUT, you need to change your default detailed view to "Agent Preferred 1." "Client Preferred 1" is also very cool. Go through the Preferences Wizard and change the default reports.
In this competitive, seller's market, here's something we at Compass offer to our buyers!
Buyers: contact me and we'll get you into that home! I'll lead you through all the steps!
Sellers: it's a great time to sell, let me provide you with a market analysis for your home!
