  Beethoven turns 250 and the South Valley symphony will be holding a belated commemoration on December 11th by holding a performance in Morgan Hill at the Advent Lutheran Church.     "A Holiday Happy Birthday to Beethoven" will be presided over by Maestro Anthony Quartuccio.  Opening the evening's performance will be Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5, "Emperor", which was written in 1809 and is a giant of the classical repertoire.  It will be performed by guest soloist Kristal B. Kim who will be on the Piano.   The symphony had planned for this last year, for the 250th anniversary of the birth of Beethoven in 1770, but was postponed/delayed last year due to the pandemic.

There is a pumpkin patch in Morgan Hill, CA that serves the residents of this South Santa Clara County (Silicon Valley) very nicely.It is located on the corner of Main and Condit, just east of the 101 overpass.  Morgan Hill is a wonderful bedroom community of San Jose, sought out for a slower lifestyle, less traffic and not as crowded as its neighbor to the North, San Jose.  A wide mixture of housing opportunities from condos to large, executive type homes, some on large lots, make this a truly wonderful place to live.The eastern part of Morgan Hill is largely suburban, and the Western part (west of the 101 freeway) is suburban as well, with some larger lots as well as homes in Holiday Lake Estates surround Anderson Reservoir and Jackson Oak, a community in the hills offering spectacula...

What is my home worth during COVID-19?This is a question I am asked more than once. The market is still hot here in the Silicon Valley. I sold my listing on 1502 Keoncrest Avenue in San jose during COVID-19. My clients walked me through their home virtually while I provided a staging consultation. Within days they finished the staging recommendations and a few more accessories where dropped off to finish the staging. Virtual open house was a success and the property sold in days.Your home hasn't lost value during the Shelter in Place. During this period the homes that were on the market generally sold with multiple offers. Serious buyers were shopping during this time while there were fewer buyers competing with the listings in the market place. As a matter of fact there were fewer list...

As a realtor who specializes in Probate sales I have recently been involved with a number of families were trying to sell homes they thought they inherited or had title to, but wound up in Probate instead. Since the Probate courts are backed up, this can cause delays, heartache, and tension for the families and were problems that probably could have been avoided.I want to say firmly, I am not a lawyer. I am a Realtor who specializes in selling homes in Probate and this is not legal advice. If you are going to be involved in intra family title changes PLEASE get the advice of a lawyer. This is complicated stuff.I just want to give you a few examples so you can see that you should not assume anything when it comes to Probate sales.

This is a question I get asked all the time. When an owner has passed and has rental property should the heirs sell the Morgan Hill probate or trust home with the tenants in place, or wait until the lease is up? While most years I would say wait until the tenants are gone, but with the uncertainty of how the new tax laws  will effect prices and what will happen to the Morgan Hill market that has already shown signs of appreciating with very tight inventory, the answer is not clear cut. Sell Morgan Hill Probate or Trust Home With Tenant: Pros:       Morgan Hill school Priority 1 Registration starts in Jan.
