San Diego Earth Fair 2010

April 18th, 2010

Earth Fair in San Diego 2010 EarthfairSan Diego Real Estate Blog

San Diego April 18 2010

The San Diego Earth Fair was held at Balboa Park in Downtown San Diego. This Earth Fair marked the 20th year of the event and the 40th anniversary of the first Earth Day. This event usually attracts about 70,000 visitors and covers the entire park. The Downtown San Diego Fair had over 350 exhibits and was spread out nicely across Balboa Park making the crowds seem less than there really was. Some vendors and exhibitors had better real estate than others but the Fair from my experience was a smashing success.

I was expecting to see the event taken over by the GREEN AGENDA but was pleasantly surprised to see most of the booths about nature and many about San Diego nature, wildlife, beaches, oceans and back country. We had to park about 2 miles way and walk in but the day was quite pleasant and who doesn’t love Balboa Park on a nice day. This is an event I would recommend if you get a chance to see it in the future.

An excerpt from the EarthDayWeb.org web site:

Our exhibitors form the heart of EarthFair. They represent every type of environmental organization, governmental program and commercial enterprise with goods, services and causes that address our environment and quality of life. Our exhibitor fees are graduated to allow everyone to participate, from the smallest organization to the largest corporation.

It’s impossible to list everything you’ll find at EarthFair: traditional conservation organizations, wildlife Earth Fair Earth Day San Diego 2010preservation groups, products made from natural and organically grown crops, organic gardening information, alternative energy vehicles, ecotourism opportunities, many alternative and traditional health care products and services, pet adoption services, clean air and clean water products, rainforest preservation groups … the list goes on and on.

Christmas in San Diego 2009 Hotel Del Coronado

December 26th, 2009

Hotel Del Coronado Christmas 2009 San Diego CASan Diego Real Estate Blog

Christmas in San Diego wouldn’t be complete without a day at the Hotel Del Coronado. The Hotel Del Coronado located on Coronado Island which is one of the most precious pieces of real estate in San Diego County, always goes all out for the holidays. 2009 was no exception and the Hotel Del was a shining lighthouse in a sea of holiday things to do in San Diego. Parking was $25 at the hotel so we decided to park out on the street which was surprisingly easy to find. Some in our party parked at the hotel and paid the $25 which might seem steep but if you spend the whole day it’s well worth it.

Once we walked onto the hotel grounds the sounds and sights of the holidays were everywhere. The Christmas music from the ice skating rink filled the air and the sight of ice skaters at the beach under the palm trees with the Pacific Ocean in the background was unbelievable. We watched the skaters for a while and then went inside to meet others in our party in the Hotel Del lobby. The lobby was decked out with a huge Christmas Tree and covered with decorations. The lobby itself is impressive with its old world craftsmanship and fine woodwork from an era gone by. It was like stepping back in time 100 years. Once our party arrived we went outside and watched the ice skaters more and then strolled on down to the Coronado Beach.

It was a warm day in Sunny San Diego and surfers were surfing and even a few swimmers dared to take a dip. I thought of the rest of the country and how most were under snow or way too cold to be out walking around in a T-shirt, shorts and flip flops. Oh well, that’s San Diego and how we spend our winters. We went up to the Hotel and ate lunch and were lucky enough to get a seat for all of us overlooking the beach. We spent 4 hours eating, talking and having a great day. Then of course we had to have some Moo Time Ice cream to complete the perfect day.

It was a great day at the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego and a Christmas outing we’ll never forget. Christmas 2010 we’ll be at the Del again. Hope to see you there.

Here are some videos and movies of the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego California in December 2009.

2010 San Diego Real Estate Market

November 12th, 2009

2010 San Diego Real Estate MarketSan Diego Real Estate Blog

2010 San Diego Real Estate Market

I know it’s still 2009 November and it might be a little early for 2010 San Diego Real Estate Market predictions but I think I’ll give it a shot. 2010 in the San Diego Real Estate Market should show more foreclosures than we had in 2009. In 2009 many foreclosures were held off of the market due to the moratoriums. Now that many of the foreclosure moratoriums are lifted the banks are gearing up to get the REO’s off of their books. 2010 in San Diego and many parts of the country will be known as the year of the “Last of the Foreclosure Market”. There will be more foreclosures after 2010 into 2011,  2012 and 2013 but 2010 will be the last big year for foreclosures.

There will still be more short sales and some banks are moving faster on them. There’s lots of talk about the short sales being streamlined and moving through the system faster. In 2010 it might just be a lot of false hope in this area. I hope I’m wrong and we see the short sales as a whole (not just select banks) move through the system fast and to a sale but it might just be a lot of hype. Systems like REOTrans are setting up to do short sales but I’ll believe the push towards short sales over foreclosures by the banks when I see it.

For homebuyers in 2010 it should be a delight with more inventory coming into the San Diego Real Estate Market. In some price ranges like the lower end first time home buyer prices under $400,000 there still will be a fight with other buyers to get the homes. There are way too many buyers and investors in the under $400,000 range in many areas of San Diego County that will keep this price range in very short supply in 2010. The upper end in non-coastal areas will still slide a little lower in 2010. We’ll see how this worked out in 2011.
