Taking it for the Team, or Easter Hangover

Today's Featured Listing





Today's home is located in Prestigious Pacific Heights on a large corner lot. It has a great floor plan with plantation wood blinds. A family room and kitchen with breakfast area the  island is a cooks dream. There is a covered patio. A large master suite, three additional bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in 2700 square feet! And beautiful landscaping. All new carpeting throughout.


So now the Big Three are out of the way at my house! Yay! The Big 3 being Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Now I can relax for the next 6 months. Some times it feels to me like kind of a let down. Nothing to plan for a while. No excuse to get the family together but guess what? Now I can go back to my normal weight! Yes! Over the course of the Big 3 I usually pack on an extra 15 pounds! It's not helping any that my mother-in-law and sister- in - law are still at my house - and not that I don't love them and appreciate everything they do - which is Amazing - but they are sweet eaters. You know...candy, cookies, pies, cake, cupcakes. There are still 4 cupcakes left in my kitchen and they are just sitting there - mocking me. taunting me. I'm hoping that when I get home today they have left the house - the cupcakes - not the In-laws. Otherwise I just know that I'm going to be the one to take it for the team. I don't want my poor son to get chubby. Think of what all that sugar can do to a teenager. Its tough sometimes to be a mom.


Alrighty then - Today, there are 736 residential listings on the market in Shasta County. 281 of those are in Redding. 45 are REO's - Wow!  
212 properties sold in March 2012 with 303 Pending for March so watch out April is going to be big!


P.S. Yea - Its Raining Again!

Easter Fun

Happy Easter Everyone!

This House is cute as a Button!



This popular west Redding neighborhood home features one of the largest lots and is located in a quiet cul-de-sac! A charming home with newer energy efficient windows & easy-care vinyl siding. It has a spacious rear yard with gated RV access to upper RV parking concrete pad, a lovely deck for entertaining, two storage sheds, fruit trees, large swing set, garden area, room for pool & more!  Priced at only $149,000, it's a great opportunity!


So, I've been out of town for the past couple of days and it's great to be back home! The sun is shining and it's almost warm out today! I really missed my kids, my dogs and my deck - not necessary in any particular order though. So - Happy Easter! Whether or not you celebrate the holiday, have a great time. At my house we always have an Egg Hunt in the yard. It's fun hiding the eggs. We always put small change in the eggs and then one of them has got a Fiver in it. The kids will all be scrambling all over looking for them - no one can open the eggs until they are all  found. Sometimes I forget where they all are. So, the kids are all pretty much grown now but I'm pretty sure we'll still have the hunt Sunday.


Today there were 16 new listings and at last count 24 Pendings. Let's go find your Easter Egg!
