33rd Annual Ocean Beach (San Diego) Street Fair is Today 6/23/12 Here is a local Do Not Miss San Diego tradition, the 33rd annual Ocean Beach (OB) Street Fair and Chili Cook-off!  What started in 1979 as a small community chili cook-off has grown into a huge, fun event with Six Stages full of great music, an Artist's Alley, Beachside Beer Garden and Liquorland and much  more.  The event, which is expected to draw 70,000 people, runs from 10AM to 8PM.  Many of the main events will be right by the pier, beach and Newport Ave.  As you can imagine, parking will be challenging and locals (Obecians and Point Lomans) are encouraged to ride their bikes.  There will even be a Bike Valet on Bacon Street in front of Winstons.  Old Town Trolley is providing free shuttles to the event, pick-up point...

We’re going to review some of the common mistakes that first-time buyers make, and we’re going to show you how they can ruin your opportunity to buy your first home.  How to avoid those types of blunders?  You'll find out in our HousePro Academy online course, Home Buying 101. MISTAKE #1:  NOT KNOWING WHAT'S ON YOUR CREDIT REPORT The first mistake is not checking their credit in advance.  Some home buyers are not aware of what’s on their credit report.  When their mortgage lender pulls up the buyer’s credit report, they are both surprised when an unexpected collection account pops up for an old phone bill 5 years ago.  Unfortunately items like these can ruin your opportunity for a new home.  So don’t be surprised in front of your lender; instead, be pro-active and check your own credit ...

Ocean Beach (OB) 32nd Annual Christmas Parade Saturday 12/3/2011 Ocean Beach, situated on the Point Loma Peninsula just north of downtown San Diego, is a fun, beautiful, quirky community.  And, their 32nd annual Christmas Parade, this Saturday (12/3), will be the same!  The theme this year will be Surfer's Paradise.  Often I go to the beach at OB, sometimes with my dog because they have an awesome Doggie Beach, other times to sit on the beach or walk the pier (longest on the west coast, 1,971 feet) and watch the impressive surfers.  Ocean Beach is a very popular spot for surfers so it is appropriate that the theme would be Surfer's Paradise this year. What is really fun about this parade (scroll down for the video I took of the parade last year) is it is so NOT commercial.  It is fun, l...

What to Look for During a Home Inspection There are a lot of homebuyers out there who know home-buying backwards and forwards. They will march along with a home inspector from attic to basement, chuckling over chimney design and debating the pros and cons of in-floor heating. If that isn't your home inspection style it's perfectly fine. If you hire a home inspection professional, you really don't need to know exactly what to look for during a home inspection. Your home inspector will be able to point out anything the seller may have tried to sweep under the rug (or hold up with duct tape) as well as give you a time frame for when certain problems will need attention. If you are thinking, ôHow do I do my own home inspection?ö below is a basic list of things to look for when doing it your...

Ocean Beach Sunset What causes all the colors in a Sunset ? As the sun was dropping from view, I wondered where these colors come from and I decided to look it up and I found the answer. And it is a bit complicated but in a nutshell, here is what I found. It is caused by the earth shadow. I thought that you might want to read the more complete answer so I have added the link here. I took this photo from the furthest point of the Ocean Beach Pier which is the longest pier on the West Coast.

  As an  active full time San Diego, CA Real Estate Agent, I want to point out how a buy now or later decision effects some but not all.  Many people are moving in to the area, marrying/divorcing/expanding their family, etc and they may need to buy now regardless of what may be happening in the market.  For those that are contemplating but don't have a specific requirement, it's a question of trying to time the market similar to the stock market.  The problem with that is, the general public info lags behind on both up and down swings.  For example, previous market reports I posted, 6 weeks ago have changed.  It was slower than average as was April but Jun & early July have picked up steam again in the San Diego.  Builders have burned off some of the new home inventory that was buildin...
