Is Summer Really Almost Over?

I'll bet you've been wondering where I went - havent you? I have been working my bumm off! So, you know when you go on vacation and everything piles up while your gone and then you come back all nice and refreshed and ready to go - sometimes the universe is with you on this. The Universe has definitely been on my side keeping me busy - but not only that, a ton of really fun things are going on in my life right now.  Some are Real Estate related and some are personal.

I AM A GRANDMA! 

Yup, Baby Girl made me a Grandma.  Of course, I have the most beautiful 3 week old Grandson on the planet - How could he be anything but beautiful?

His Momma is Gorgeous!

Yup. It's absolutely the coolest thing to ever happen to me. If or when your a grandparent - you'll get it.

You could say, I've been a little pre-occupied.

Add to that, I have a new computer. It's a Mac. I've been getting used to the new keyboard. It really is hard to get used to a different feeling. Also, I'm having some issues uploading Pics and Videos of listings onto the blog here. Sorry. I'll get it worked out but not in time for this post.

Real Estate is Hopping! - Inventory levels are up but we are still a little short. Shasta County MLS has been averaging around 200 sales per month. We currently have 844 Active listings in Shasta County. That's up considerably from the last blog post but at our average rate - its only around a 4 month supply and an average healthy market has a six-month supply.  The real interesting thing is that in Redding we have 316 Active listings, only 12 are priced under 100K. - 29 are between 100-150K and 78 are from 150-200K. Prices are going up - a lot. Some sellers, as usual, are pricing their properties a little on the optimistic side I think, but homes priced right, SELL.

Well, I'm going to figure out what's wrong with my uploads and get back to you later. Have a fantastic day!

Call me  or email me for more information about the Redding Real Estate Market or for a Personal Real Estate Consultation.

Getting Back To Work!

Awesome Featured Listing Today!







This is a beautiful home set in the hills of Ranchland Acres. Breathtaking views from every room.....Lassen during the day & city lights at night. This house is set up for the whole family to enjoy downstairs or upstairs in the bonus room on game night. Entertainers dream kitchen w/granite countertops, custom cabinetry, open floor plan to family room & outdoor patio/pool area. Gated entry for privacy, 4386 Square Feet with 4 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms.

Okay, so I toured this house the other day and I can tell you this house is Gorgeous! The views really are incredible and the pictures cant begin to accurately portray them! The smell of the Jasmine when you get out of the car and walk to the front door is intoxicating. I loved it!. The kitchen is a gourmet cooks delight, storage everywhere! - I wanted to start cooking and note - and I hate to cook.

Well, Real Estate in Redding has truly picked up a full head of steam. It's crazy busy out there as you may have guessed. Several flattering pieces have appeared on the Redding.com site about Real Estate and it turns out that Redding, CA has one the the largest shares of new home housing starts in the state! 

Also, in the news lately was that Real Estate Agents have one of the most satisfying jobs and are happier than other professions! I like that - I think its true.. I am very happy.

604 Active Single Family homes today on Shasta MLS and 240 of them in Redding.

Here's a cute little house I listed - got it into contract in 4 days! Didn't even have time to blog about it! Sorry!


                                              

Well alrighty, Have a great day!  In case your wondering... Rome pages coming soon. (still under construction)

Back to Real Life

Evidently, while I was on vacation - all the houses sold. Yup, it's true. No more homes. I guess I should just go back. Seriously though, there are only 558 active listings today on Shasta MLS. WTF??? stands for What The Fudgesicle?

I have a new listing coming soon, it's a 2 bedroom, 2 bath home in Shasta Forest Village in Shingletown. Cute as a button - I'll be getting pics and details to ya on Friday, this week.

So, a few of the things that I have noticed since I've been back: 1) Jet-lag is a very real phenomena. Man - that is NOT fun at all. 2) Americans (me) eat way too much processed and junk foods. 3) We all (me again) really need to stop rushing around! The day is so much more enjoyable when you actually notice it! and 4) I'm really happy to be home in Redding. Not that I can compare it at all with Rome - Rome is a huge city, full of History and people and art and churches. Redding is quiet and peaceful you can hear the sounds of the river and of the wind, the views of the snow capped mountains.  Nature shows off here. I love my home here. I missed my other kids. I know after 17 days, they REALLY missed me!

My blog of the Rome trip is going to appear on a separate page available by a link on the top of this blog. There was just too much to say and too much to write about to split it into this little blog. So look for it coming soon and when you have nothing to do for a while you can read all about it.

Some Homeowner advice: Spring is almost here! If you were thinking about listing your home this year do it now! I would love to help you do it! One, two hour, open house this weekend yeilded 17 buyers and resulted in a sale!
Buyers advice: Don't give up! Your house is out there! - Call me and together we will find it.

This is just too good not to share:
