How many times have you driven by that mess on Blossom Hill and said, "Oh yeah! Wasn't that supposed to have opened this year?'Well, you'll have to look at it for another year, as it is not slated to be finished this time until the fall of 2010. So we'll all continue to drive to Los Gatos to spoil ourselves. 08/09/2009

Currently, 1/3rd of the single family homes in Almaden Valley are selling. A pretty good number considering today's market.

The "AS-IS" title has a different meanings to different people.  When I speak with buyers and sellers about selling or purchasing a home, they rarely have the same definition of what "AS-IS" means.  If you speak with a seller they might believe that by having their real estate agent advertise the home "AS-IS" on the local multiple listing service (MLS), it will prevent them from completing any repairs that the buyer might request.  Sellers can also believe the "AS-IS" statement protects them from legal charges down the road.  If you speak with the buyer they might believe the "AS-IS" really means there is something terribly wrong with the home or more specifically, what is on the MLS is not exactly the true picture of the home itself.  Let's break this down from both perspectives.
