It's the end of the first week of September 2009 and in North San Diego Coastal zip codes there are 2060 available properties attached and detached single family homes with 1509 Contingent and Pending. I must tell you the ratios represented here are considerably better than a year ago. We have a new category that we did not have in MLS system last year as well, the Contingent Status.  So what effect will this new status have on the numbers over time? The contingent status right now has a large number of short sales, many of which will not close successfully.  

I hope everyone had a nice long holiday weekend! While I was watching my kids play this weekend, mainly my daughter, I was thinking about some of her expressions she would use when she was a bit younger.

One was "I don't Give a Care" and the other one came into play when she was upset with someone. Once she was upset at her brother and she called him a "Little, Little". It came out more like "yoooouuu Little (pause, pause thinking of a word to call him & when nothing came to mind) Little!"

These phrases have gained a life of their own in our family and show up from time to time in conversations.  So this week my goals are simple, not to be a "Little, Little".  And more importantly, in all of my conversations and interactions with family, friends, clients, and associates, let my actions show I   do "Give a Care".  If you are not a client yet, I welcome the opportunity to spend some time with you and show I do care. We can discover together how to best reach your goals.
