Los Angeles County Water Shortage

As I was watching the news this morning, I had some thoughts that created some concerns. The residents of Los Angeles County will only be able to turn on their sprinklers before 9:00 A.M. and after 4:00 P.M. on Mondays and Thursdays beginning June 1, 2009. We are currently experiencing a spring heat wave, what will our summer be like?

Imagine our local golf courses, you will no longer be hitting your ball on "the green" anymore. We have had our share of wild fires in L.A.  What will be the penalty for using the water? What about our local crops and our plants if we go through a heat wave? How long will this new ordinance stay in effect?

We have witnessed several brown lawns this year. It is depressing. The cities of Palmdale and Lancaster have bought several of these forclosed homes and are creating a desertscape motif  to help solve the problem. It has made a big difference in the appearance of these homes and our community.

As a whole, if we all cut down our water usage by 15%, I believe we could make a huge difference.  Artificial turf is becoming popular these days. It's durable, very manicured and clean. I have seen it, and looks better than most lawns. We all need to take action to save our county from what I believe could be a devastating disaster. Please send us your ideas and suggestions. We would love to hear your thoughts!

Let's all work together to conserve our water. Please view some of these water conservation tip sites:

Real Estate Gone Wild!

For some this quote is so true! There is a substantial amount of homes being sold at the lowest prices we have seen in years. According to todays MLS "24 hour watch" we are showing the average home is selling at 89.87 price per square foot. Multiple offers are back and now the guidelines for loans are lightening up. Fixed rates are back, interest rates are staying at a steady 5 percent margin.

First time property buyers with adequate savings and excellent credit will be in a position to take maximum advantage of the housing market changes anticipated during 2008. These buyers will be able to negotiate some excellent deals, especially with property owners who need to sell their homes quickly. 

According to Realty Times today:

Wild, Wild West: California Prices Hit Hard, Market Leveling

California's housing market may be dragging along the bottom.

That could mean it will be one of the first statewide markets to recover from the housing hangover.

Home prices were in free fall in the Golden State in February, but home sales showed signs of improvement, according to the California Association of Realtors (CAR).  

Are you waiting for the bubble to burst? According to "NBC Today" on March 25, 2008 " Last month sales on existing homes actually went up! Surprise rise. Home sales increased last month 2.9 percent nationally. This is the first time in 7 months. Some say the  free fall may be over and many believe that the fall may be shorter than previously expected.
