As I came into the office today, I noticed that it seemed exceptionally quiet. Where is everyone at?? What's going on??  I visited one of my clients who has a business in town earlier, he was so busy!! Everyone was there at his business, it was crazy! - What's going on? - It's not Saturday? It's not a Hol...
Oh Yea! It is a holiday weekend! - It's the last vestige of this years summer - Labor Day! How did I miss that one? So then I was thinking - YAYYYY!!! It's a holiday weekend! MUAHAHAH!!  What can I do - Four Luscious Days - Well at least three for most people. What to do... what to do...

It is almost football season...Hmmmm

I can go to the lake! I can go fishing. I can laze away in the backyard...THUMP! - Who in the heck do you think you are silly girl! I have appointments all weekend - OH YEA! I sell Real Estate! Actually, It's really cool with me - I'm not down on crowded Lakeside picnics, I HATE to fish. My backyard is there everyday. So, this is what fun thing I will do this weekend. Hang out with awesome people, hang out in awesome houses and have a great time!

In other news, that I'm sure I will address at a later post - Baby Girl has moved home. Turns out the big city was't all it was cracked up to be. Now, I have a new cat... Let's leave that there for a while.

On the Redding Real Estate front - I'm proud to say that my new listing in the last post is now in escrow. Under contract in like 5 days - crazy amount of calls on the property. NOW is really a good time to list your home. The market is severely under inventoried right now. 

Only 748 Residential listings available on Shasta MLS, only 264 of them in Redding. Today, 14 new listings came on the market and 16 listings went into escrow. So, if you're sitting on the fence about selling - it's time to jump - Deals are getting harder and harder to find - the lower end of the market is like a shark Frenzy. And -  If you have an affordable, well maintained, updated home - watch out - there will be a stampeded to get in. Call me and I'll give you a Competitive Market Analysis FREE!

Life is Good!

              New Listing!

       

This Immaculate 3BR/2.5BA 1962sqft home is just waiting for YOU. Beautiful kitchen with Granite counters, Stainless Steel appliances and 16'' tile. Vaulted Ceiling in Great room area. Beautiful lighting fixtures throughout. Covered patio and Hot Tub in this manicured back yard. Separate Laundry area and office (un-permitted) cap it off. - Regular Sale!

So - Here it is! My newest Listing. This is an awesome house really - I love - Love the back patio - completely covered - just enough yard to play in or enjoy without too much work - Flower beds and a Hot Tub. We used to have a hot tub at my home in Manteca and even though we had a pool - we spent way more time in the hot tub!. There are so many jets on this thing... The master Bedroom has a huge walk in closet with shelves. There is so much storage room in this house. Plus with that fantastic kitchen really - I just might buy it myself! Haha - It also has a small office which is perfect for working from home or just as a crafters room.

My sellers are moving to be closer to their Grandchildren - something I can totally relate to. It's awful to be so far away - now I know why my mom dropped everything in San Diego to move to be closer to me in Manteca years ago.

It has just been so busy around here lately. Redding must have some really positive press out there somewhere. We are seeing a lot of people re-locating to this area. Even though it's pretty hot right now - that
s really only like one month out of the whole year. - I went to San Francisco last month and forgot where I was going. - FROZE!  Every time I talk to anyone about Redding they mention the heat. Get over it! It's supposed to be hot in the summer!

So - let's talk about Dogs. No, just kidding - this isn't a blog about dogs.

Shasta MLS has 755 residential listings on the market right now. 269 of those are in Redding. There are 15% fewer active listings than one year ago. So - I at the least am hoping for a temporary reprieve from the housing crisis.

Just a pretty picture I took at the Bridge.

   

    

 

Where Oh Where Has My Summer Gone?

Today's Featured Listing

This west side home has a great view of Mt. Shasta.  It is situated in a cul de sac location. With an above ground pool and lots of patio space . This home features 4 bedrooms, one with it's own entrance.

At 1941 SqFt it comes in at less than $92 per sq ft!

Summer - *Sigh*   I love Summer - Have I mentioned that before? I hear we are in for a heat wave here soon along with the western half of the United States. It's cool with me. Bring it on! Shh...

So the last week has been nerve-racking! It has to do with my son. - The one who goes to Humboldt U. He's not living on campus this semester. He starts his job there tomorrow! Haven't found him a place to live!! AAUUGH!. It's good. I have faith. He has friends to stay with and thats just the way it's going to have to be right now.

Kinda ironic huh? Here I am a REALTOR and I can't find a place for my son to live - don't think this hasn't been lost on him at all. In my defense - I don't live in Humboldt county - I don't know anyone there - and I don't handle rentals - all really good reasons but Moms are never excused. Craigslist is really fun though to sift through. I love the way people talk about what they are looking for in a room mate - One said that they may have Satanic rituals sometimes in the living room. NEXT! One said they have 9 cats - NEXT - On and on it's kinda funny. I may just keep reading those for entertainment value.

This just in - BB Girl wants to work here! Click the Link -   Where people go to get EATEN   Actually - probably NO one really gets eaten there - but I'm a momma and I worry.

So the business of real estate is buzzing along quite buisily - is that a word - hold on - The business of real estate is humming along like a hummingbird - no, the real estate world is spinning  - , Oh crackers, its just busy!

Here is a look at the stats this week - as of today at lease - 757 listings overall in Shasta County MLS. 262 of them are in Redding. only 13 of those in Redding are under 100K - OUCH! - In Redding,  35 of the 262 are REO's or Foreclosures and 19 are Short Sales.
