Fiesta Hermosa offers good time vibes and small town charm.The weather is finally getting warmer and it feels like summer, but summer in Hermosa Beach unoffically kicks off this weekend with the return Fiesta Hermosa.    One of the best aspects of Hermosa (I'm a long time resident) is the small town feel and Fiesta Hermosa always feels like a small town party as  you bump into endless friends and neighbors. The events and activities take place around the pier and pier plaza with an abundance of food, shopping, music, carnival rides and more.  Shuttle buses operate from 10am -8pm each day as there's not much parking anywhere nearby.  There's also a bike corral that's open from 10am-6pm each day. The Buses will run between the Northrop Grumman Lot and the Fiesta Hermosa from 11:00 am to 7...

How's the Market?Whether that question is coming from a prospective buyer, or an owner in the community curious to know if homes are selling....it's certainly the question I'm asked the most.It's surprising how many people assume that the market is slow.The short answer as to how is the market or what's happing with home sales is that the real estate market in Three Sixty is pretty much on fire.   More listings than not don't last more than a week on the market.    4 of the most recent listings all went into escrow after only a few days on the market.  They recevied offers after just the first weekend open houses.That's not the case for every home unfortunattely.....That said there are also a few homes that have sat on the market for quite a while which is an interesting contradiction t...

Buying a home in Oakland, California, is an exciting opportunity—but it helps to go in prepared. Whether you're a first-time buyer or relocating within the Bay Area, here are five key things to know before you start your home search: 1. Oakland’s Market Is Competitive—but Still More Accessible Compared to San Francisco or Berkeley, Oakland often offers more square footage and yard space for the price. That said, demand is high, so be prepared to move quickly when you find the right home. 2. Neighborhoods Vary Widely—Explore First From the historic craftsman homes in Rockridge to the hills of Montclair and the energy of Temescal, Oakland’s neighborhoods have distinct vibes. Spend time in a few areas to see what fits your lifestyle, commute, and budget. 3. You May Qualify for Local or Sta...

 About NineteenOn The 19th. . .      Some of you may know my story: How for nineteen years, I worked as a manager for a tire plant in Alabama. And some of you may have lived a similar story:  Lilly Ledbetter    The above quote is longer but there is no need to share those additional words in this post. Some may be aware of Lilly Ledbetter who is attributed with those words, but I assume many are not. Information can come to us in non-linear ways. Well, that's been true-for-me.     I also assume few will know that a movie titled Lilly inspired by her has been newly released. I saw the film last week. This is not a review of it nor am I sharing anything else about it or her.  However, I will say life, perhaps in 19 ways (maybe more, perhaps less), continues to be an interesting experience...
