Well, I made it back safe and sound from the awesome state of Hawaii! Remember I said it shouldn't take 10 days to get my sister-in Laws house prepped for sale? - It did. It took all the days, then- because of cats... we missed the flight home, it took one more day! I did have a great time at the Polynesian Cultural Center . We had a great day there, ate at a Luau and saw a fantastic show. H'a, Breath of Life.  Because no trip is ever worth bragging about without pictures - here are a few I took... Also, I will never again underestimate the amount of work - physical work - involved in getting a house ready to sell. It also made me realize how incredibly out of shape I am!

Fun day at the Cultural Center

Amazing sunset from Bellows AFB

In regular life here in Redding, I am getting ready to leave for 10 days - which, just so you know, 10 days in Real Estate is like a flipping year! I am going to Hawaii to help my sister-in-law get her house prepped for sale and even though I don't think  it should take 10 days - she's the one bringing me there so I'm not going to complain. I should have some time to R&R. Also to Blog of course!.
What if we took the property above and transplanted it to Hawaii? I think It might go for a little bit above the Redding asking price! Haha. The thing I love about Redding is that you get a whole lot of House for your Moola here and it's a great place to live of course!

The market here is still pretty hot right now. Inventory is low, buyers and investors are hungry for property still so I think it may hold for a bit. 41 New listings since the last post. 761 in Shasta MLS and 272 in Redding. 34 of those are listed as REO's

Can't name this post what I want to, so let's just call it "Sweet!"

Once in a while, and really not very often, surprisingly, I find a house that really speaks to me. Personally. I don't know what it is about this house but I LOVE IT! I did the Open House here this Saturday. I think I have kind of a quirky sense for homes. This one says "Hey - welcome home" as soon as you walk in. - which reminds me of a story -

So, it's a few years ago, I still had my own company and every day I would drive my ratty old mini van into the parking lot. My agents and employees were ashamed of my car - they implored me to get something that didn't make the parking lot look ugly. (We Realtors - some at least, are kinda into appearances - go figure)
Anyways, I had been car shopping for a car that "suited my stature" - whatever (the van was paid for!). I looked at Mercedes, I looked at Cadillac, I looked at BMW, I looked at Volvo - Every Upper echelon (snoot snoot) of the car world I looked at - 6 months looking.  Nothing was right - ya know? Right. I was at the Lexus dealer in Modesto one day, nope, not it...I noticed a lot behind the Lexus dealership - Hmmm - what's that?,,,

I saw this Little Red car calling me - I went over to it. I said "Hey"...  it said "Hey". I opened the door.  The car literally moved for me! - The seat slid back, the dashboard retracted - the steering wheel got out of the way - "Come on in" said the car... Shiznit! Wow! I thought. I got in - the sales guy came over - I closed the door. The seat moved forward, it hugged me. The steering wheel came forward... "Let's go for a ride" said the car.
Holy Crackers! - This car was better than any date EVER!  This car knew me!!!! I looked around inside. CD player, Sun Roof, Power Everything. Cool looking dash, Cool looking interior. I rolled down the window, I asked the sales guy "How Much?"... he told me... "Sold!" I said. - Drove home with that baby two hours later - only cuz hubby had to haggle of course. It was an Infiniti G35, 2005. I loved that damn car. I still do. Haven't seen anything ever like it.  I miss that car. 

This has happened to me only a few times in my life. Not counting when I saw my children and my husband for the first time. Happened once in Nordstrom's with a pink jacket I still have.

Happened Saturday with this house.  The only thing better for me would be if I sold this house. Call me - Email me I'd LOVE to show it to you. See if you feel it too. Best feeling in the world.
