With the holiday season here I thought you might want to take a little break from the cleaning, cooking, shopping, shuttling people to and from the airport, and the million other tasks we find this time of year.
There have been some great articles out lately outlining the unique place our market is in, so get your fireplace ready and get ready to relax with some good reading!
--Santa Monica's Simon Salloom speaks on the differences between our market and that of the rest of the country, as well as specifically outlining the fundamental difference of opinion we see between buyers and sellers on the Westside (and what it means to you).

Tip of the Week: Clean out your refrigerator and freezer! By now some of those Thanksgiving leftovers are starting to get a bit funky. Time to clean up and reclaim those Tupperware you will need for any holiday baking! Minimize those extra ingredients with handy sites like Allrecipes.com and Cooks.com that allow you to search ingredients you have already to give you ideas for fun meals to throw together.

Things are looking up!
My Christmas present came early this year in the form of documented reports showing what I have seen to be true... there is positive movement in the Real Estate world here in Western Los Angeles!
While the rest of the country looks at our beautiful homes, impeccable weather, well-known neighbors, and healthy environment- we know there is certainly a cost to living here. Where a moderately large home in a nice neighborhood costs as little as a tenth of what we pay here... I think Angelino's are the first to admit whatever we pay is worth it.
Check out this article about our market, specifically noting the significant decrease in turnaround time for homes over $3M... I think you will be fascinated!

Tip of the week: Take a minute to clean out your gutters and remove the debris that may have collected on the rooftop during the crazy wind storm we had last night. You may be putting up holiday decorations, or adjusting your satellites after the storm, but make sure your roof is free and clear of debris so you can easily spot and fix any damage before it becomes a large problem!
