Santa Monica, CA Condominium Market Report! Check out the Snap Shot of the Activity! I was asked today: How is the Santa Monica, CA Condominium Market right now? Clearly it is a very interesting question. I have not done a Market Report in a while about the Santa Monica, CA Condominiums’ activity. I have had many agents complaining that the market is too fast. I quietly had to agree. There appears to be very little inventory is the perception. So let’s eliminate perception and let us look at the facts. As of today there were: 79 Active Condominium listings on the Market in Santa Monica, CA, now keep in mind that highest priced and listed Condominium was a Pent House Unit on Ocean Ave for $7,995,000.00. 27 Condominiums are in Backup Status waiting for the Buyers to remove their Contingencies. 42 Condominiums are Pending waiting for their Closing Date! 188 Condominiums Sold in Santa Monica in the past six months. So with that said you tell me: how fast is the Condominium Market in Santa Monica CA? Clearly little inventory and pent up demand.

read moreSubway to the Sea: aka the Purple Line from Downtown LA – Santa Monica
Subway to the Sea: aka the Purple Line from Downtown Los Angeles to Santa Monica, CA After four or five years of planning, community activism the Metro Construction finally began their Phase II construction around end of March 2012. Needless to say from this point on traveling on the West Side of Los Angeles surface streets just became a bigger nightmare effective this date. If it was possible to be more of a “Nightmare” Needless to say two years later huge progress has been made. The brain child of our Politicians is slowly becoming a reality. Needless to say anything that involves politicians becomes suspect: Just to start with a couple examples: 1. Usually what they budget becomes an out of control monster. Needless to say we are resilient and accept it and just move on. So I will not even spend more time on thisJ. 2. Why did the skip Beverly Hills & Century City? I find it ironic that the purpose was to alleviate congestion and ease traffic in Los Angeles from Downtown to Santa Monica i.e.: the Ocean. The idea is great and noble. The implementation a bit more “Suspect” at best. I have remained quiet about this project because I was too annoyed to even spend a minute writing about it. After all most commuters from Santa Monica, CA work in either Century City or Beverly Hills, CA so the biggest part of the traffic will remain congested due to the politicians who oversaw this project did not consider this big fact. It is funny in a way they all talk a good game, but when the rubber meets the road they are not walking the talkJ! The good news is it will help the people who do not have cars from Downtown to Santa Monica and along the way to get to and from work easier. It will also help the Tourists who are too afraid to take on Los Angeles Traffic. Needless to say most cars that are on the road will remain on the road because of this major oversight. Anyway enjoy the pictures we are getting closer to the “Sea” i.e.: the Santa Monica, CA stop of the Purple Line! Oh and if you are wondering the “subway to the sea” is above groundJ!

OK It has been a while since I had a Rant!!! I guess it is high time! There was a time when I used to get really annoyed when Active Rain unexpectedly pulled the “Curtain” down. Most old timers know what I am talking about: “We are sorry to surprise you….but we are making things better…” allegedly or words to that affect. Well for the past three weeks it has been a challenge to sign in. No curtain just a pain in the derriere… Well as most of us we all have times we try to do certain things: better known as time blocking”J long and short last night I could not even find Active Rain on the World Wide Net not alone expect the curtain…so I missed out on my routine of Blogging and the on top did not get to do my late night post. So here we are today as nothing happened no explanation, no well sorry for messing up… and here are the “new & improved changes” nothing…. So with that said I am just curious did anyone else note any new improvements? Or any two steps backwards and one step forward??? For those of you who are New to AR this is a Private Post and only the community sees itJ also I tried getting a copy of the picture but no such luck amybe next time...

read moreMagnitude 4.4 Shamrock Shake in the Greater Los Angeles area!
Magnitude 4.4 Shamrock Shake in the Greater Los Angeles area! Well Good Morning and happy St Patrick’s Day to you all. We just had a 4.4 magnitude earthquake in Encino, CA. If I was working in the News Media I would have nicknamed it “The Shamrock Shake”J! This earthquake caught us in bed, so I told Diane just stay in bed and ride it outJ The quake was approximately around 6:25 am and we were just waiting for the coffee to signal that it finished brewingJ! Lately we have had a few small earthquakes which I have not written about, because they were very small and not really noteworthy. A few people on Facebook made a bigger thing about it, than I thought were necessary. Keep in mind 2.9-3.3 is not that big of a deal. This usually translates to the picture frames on the wall might need straightening outJ and a few of the ‘nick- knacks’ might have to be repositioned to their original spot. Often times when we are sleeping we do not even wake up to those small ones. The good news is: It appears that no one was injured. Our pets took the quake in stride. Well let me clarify “the boys” were quite relaxed. Our “little girl”, Jill who seems to be the “though one” was quite shook up and we needed to calm her down. It was another one of those “wave type” when the earth moves like an ocean wave. Needless to say I have been meaning to update our Earthquake Kit, I guess it is timeJ!! In case you missed my previous post about Earthquakes and Earthquake Preparedness you might want to check out a sampling of my Blog Posts related to EarthquakesJ http://actvra.in/4dfL (This one is one of my Preparedness Tips) http://actvra.in/49BL (This one is one of my more recent Preparedness Tips) http://actvra.in/4dfP (this one is one of my older post about a smaller earthquake) In spite of these events Southern California is a great place to cal home. Just look back what your winter was like this past year and even now!!!! So if you are considering relocating feel free to reach out to me. On a side note we had 93 degree Beach weather Saturday & Sunday!!
