The area is just not as popular these days as Atherton and Palo Alto are for the h...

Automated property search systems with e-mail alerts are one of the most valuable tools many agents offer as a free service to their clients.  These MLS search systems have been around for years, but recently many have been upgraded with mapping features, open house notifications, listings for homes recently sold, and more. Here are five simple tips that will help buyers and sellers to benefit from use of an automated search and e-mail alert system. 1.    Research your parameters.  Before setting up your search parameters, check out school boundaries, shopping areas, commute routes and times, areas that show potential for appreciation, and whatever else could influence a buying decision.  Look at the search tool to see what search fields it offers and focus your research on those fields...

Today's Los Altos/Los Altos Hills Real Estate tour consisted of 14 single family homes priced from $1,290,000 to $5,195,000.  Eleven of these homes are new listings and 3 are properties being re-toured.  Below are some of my thoughts on today's tour. Highlights 1142 Lisa Lane - Listed by Brandon Schaeffer of Coldwell Banker.  This is an original 3 bedroom 2 bath home on a large lot.  The hardwood floors are quite nice and the spacious yard make this a home to buy and, within a few years, do a major expansion.  The list price is $1,290,000. 932 Parma Way - Listed by Marc Roos of Intero Real Estate.  This also is a home in original condition on an over-sized 14K+ lot.  The front part of the lot is smaller than the back, so someone will need to have a good architect to design a good floor ...
