Blog for Tiffany Wilson, the Green Real Estate Queen in the Greater South Bay

For Sale Vs. Sold In the last 15 months, inventory levels topped out nearly a year ago in June 2008.  Since then, they have been on a steady decline, fueled by seasonally consistent and steady sales.  April's pending home sales are also high, indicating that May's closed sales will be in line wit...

I am very excited about the upcoming Assisted Housing Stability and Energy and Green Retrofit Investments Stimulus program (phew, that's a mouthful), and I want to start by thanking Tiffany Humsfeld for pointing it out to me!  But I can't horde this information for myself, because for those of yo...

I am VERY proud to announce that I have recently earned the GREEN designation from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), demonstrating my dedication to environmentally conscious matters that affect our planet.  Many of my clients, colleagues, and friends don't know this about me, but I grew...

In February, I created the first "Top 10 Investment Opportunities in the Greater South Bay" report.  That was such a hit that I was asked to create the same reports for Riverside, Long Beach, and Palmdale/Lancaster.

As a surfer myself, I have tried several...

For Sale Vs. Sold Last month, numbers were indicating that we would see continued high sales in November, the likes of which we had been seeing for the prior few months.  We see now that November sales were only half of what we anticipated. So, is this all bad news?  Not really.  Though sales wer...

I remember the first time I bought a home.  I wouldn't necessarily say that it was stressful, but I must admit that I knew NOTHING about buying a home.  Well, let me clarify:  it was easy to find a home, but every step after that was unfamiliar.  I look back now and am SO thankful that I had an e...
