Okay - I know I was going to feature only Italian inspired homes this week, but this one is so pretty! With Mt. Shasta and Lassen Views! 4,800 sqft, 5 Bed,5 Bath, 6 Car Attached Garages! Stunning, Quality Home on 5+ level, private, gated, fenced, acres! Granite counters w/backlit onyx trim, soaring ceilings, 4 Heat & A/C Units, Thermador stainless steel 6 burner stove, double ovens, great room, fireplace in master suite. Area for an elevator. Per PG&E 12 month avg. bill is $146 / month total gas and electric! - Just the Electric bill alone is reason enough to buy this home! Doesn't it kinda remind you of Tara? From Gone with the Wind? Classic American style, in my opinion.

It's 7 days till I am on my way to beautiful Rome, Italy. - It's going to take me 22 hours total travel time to get there but so worth it! Can you tell I'm a little bit excited? I took the kids to the Sundial Bridge here last night, the Sundial Bridge is 217 Ft high. My first planned stop in Rome is Saint Peter's Basilica at the Vatican. The Dome at the Basilica is more than 450 Ft high. So, I was looking at the Sundial Bridge and just trying to imagine how high the ceiling is in St. Peters. I can't really grasp that so I just have to wait and see. I'll be sure to tell you all about it.

St. Peters

Sundial Bridge

Now, all of us here in Redding treat this Bridge with much respect and awe. We bring all our tourist friends here and show it off.  So, it's really not fair at all to compare it - I was just using the reference from the perspective view - in case anyone got snippy.

Alrighty, back to work - List your home for Sale NOW! - Call me! If your are looking to buy - DO IT NOW! - like that? 

Sellers! - We have a huge shortage of homes right now! If you want your home to get all the attention it deserves now is the time - you have no competition out there! 

Here are some stats that might sway you... Average sales price in Dec 2011 for Shasta MLS - $165,174 - Average sales price in Dec. 2012 - $189,693 - 14.8% increase. These are just averages but take it from the girl in the trenches - Things are looking real good for sellers right now.

Buyers! There are proposed changes rumored out there that will impact your ability to get financing! If you thought it was tough now, wait and see how tough they can make it. Rates are awesome right now but who knows how long that is going to last. If you were waiting for the bottom, you missed it. Get in now! - I'm not saying there will never be a downturn again, I'm not saying that the "shadow inventory" isn't lurking out there somewhere. But, if you find a home that you love and it works for you, don't think that there is something better out there. (It's like a Spouse - Once you find one - Stop thinking there's a better one.)
