Paso Robles is another city in North San Luis Obispo County that seems to be enjoying an increase in sales of single-family homes.  Since 2008, the number of home sold has risen by 8% to 550 sales and by another 6% to 585 homes in 2009.  It is also encouraging to find that the number of days needed to market a home fell from the high of 100 days in 2007 to 56 days in 2009.   Conversely, sale prices are still declining, like the rest of the County.  Like Atascadero, there is a cummulative loss of 40% in median sale price between 2007-2009. Notes:The above data is based on sales of all single-family residences, including mobile homes, condos, stick-built single family homes, etc., in Paso Robles, CA for the period from 2005 to 2009.  Data is culled from the Central Coast Multiple Listing ... 11/14/2010

Five Principles Of Home Staging   By   Amie H. Chaney   Home staging is economical and a well-proven benefit to Realtors and home owners alike. Here are some basic staging principles every home seller can use.   Become a Seller, Not a Dweller Homeowners must make the mental shift necessary to become Sellers, not Dwellers. It is only then sellers are able to realize they own a commodity to be sold and no longer their home.  The way we live in our homes is different than the way we sell our homes. With this mental shift in place, the next step in the process may begin.     Clean and De-clutter De-cluttering is the first principle used in home staging.  Clutter is defined as those items in a room that are not necessary for its function or beauty. Clutter can be too many books, knickknacks... 02/26/2010

After much talk over the last year of Bed, Bath & Beyond pulling out of the Golden Hills Plaza project, it is clear now that this much anticipated retailer plans to open by May.  I say it is clear based on the fact that there are "Now Hiring" signs on the 25,000 sq ft building they plan to inhabit next to Lowe's Home Improvement store off of Highway 46 east. El Pollo Loco, Sky Nails & Spa, Me-n-Ed's Pizza and Circuit City are tenants that were slated to occupy the Golden Hills Plaza but have since cancelled; Circuit City because it claimed bankruptcy and closed nationwide. The Golden Hills Plaza is located at the corner of Highway 46 East and Golden Hill. I, for one, welcome Bed, Bath & Beyond into our city.  It will definitely fill the void for luxury bed, bath and kitchen accoutremen... 02/26/2010
