What began as a relatively modest $575,000 remodel project, soon snowballed into a $3 million dollar renovation for Jim and Jerilyn Shaw.

Wow! What a ride–the Term Auction Facility Program
December 13th, 2007 categories: Real Estate Finance, Real Estate News
We’re up, we’re down…are we up or are we down? The last two days have offered quite a wild ride in the markets.
At the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), the Feds announced a 0.25% reduction on both the Discount Rate and the Fed Fund Rate. Traders were anticipating a 0.5% Fed Rate Cut and yesterday’s news caused traders to panic and to sell off stocks (Good news for mortgage rates).

Electra - BOSA’s Newest Highrise
December 12th, 2007 categories: BOSA Development, Buying, Columbia District
If you’ve spent much time on my blog, then you know that I’m a huge fan of BOSA and what they build. And while I have yet to set foot in Electra, I have a feeling that this is going to be their best condo tower, here in San Diego – possibly surpassing Park Place’s warm, classic feel.
Originally built in 1911 to accommodate the San Diego Electrical Railway company, SDG&E purchased and expanded the building to meet San Diego’s growing needs, turning it into what we know as Station B. Today, Electra sits inside of the restored SDG&E building, located at 700 West E Street. With 43 stories and 248 homes, Electra is now Downtown San Diego’s highest residential building.

Navy Broadway Complex on the Move
December 6th, 2007 categories: Marina District, Real Estate News
According to the December 4th, 2007 edition of the San Diego Daily Transcript (SDDT), Douglas Manchester still has the green light to move forward with his self-proclaimed Pacific Gateway Project. The San Diego Navy Broadway Complex Coalition (SDNBCC) is a group of local residents who oppose the proposed development and recently contested that a 1992 environmental review of the area was too out dated to be used for current development. The City Council voted 6–2 in favor of Douglas Manchester however and will continue to move forward…for now at least.

To Lock or Not to Lock
December 5th, 2007 categories: Buying, Real Estate Finance
Being relatively knew to blogging, I have tried to think of many ways to talk about mortgages in a more exciting way. So far, I have realized that I have now fallen into a category that I never thought I would: now closer to 40 than 30, with 3 kids, a husband, a mortgage, and yes a dog. However, with this new category comes a healthy desire for stability and security.
