$5 Million Jade Buddha in Escondido 2010  Way back in early 2010 I just happened to stumble on a $5 million Jade Buddha, after visiting my Escondido listing a short distance away. Numerous cars on a hill in the field that shouldn't have been there, and multicolored flags, caught my attention, so I had to check it out. After my visit and some great photo ops, I did a little research and learned that what I had seen was the Jade Buddha of Universal Peace on a world tour, making an appearance at the Phap Vuong Monastery in Vista. The gemstone-quality Jade Buddha was created from one 18-ton stone (it weighs about 4 tons), and is the largest of its kind in the world. I felt blessed to have seen it!! 04/06/2017

Black Friday had over 2 billion in online sales and they hadn't even tabulated what on-site store sales were but it wasn't looking too good. The reality is that this is nothing new. In house store sales have been suffering for the past decade or so while online sales i.e. Amazon have been soaring along with the stock.  What would happen to RE values in your particular neighborhood should m... 01/06/2017
