Julie & the three bears

I recently read an article about real estate blogging which made the point that people only read your blog to get information on real estate and author’s who make the mistake of venturing off into other topics will lose readership. I hope that is not the case as there are days I am thinking about other things besides real estate and I feel like writing about them. Today is one of those days but I’ll toss is some real estate tidbits too.

Bears: Michael’s daughter Kevyn is a Park Ranger in Alaska at Lake Clark National Park. Part of her job is monitoring bears and making sure the occasional visitor to her area of the park are aware of the bears and know what to do when they encounter one. She just sent us a few pictures and I couldn’t resist posting this one of the three cubs.

Cinco de Mayo: We had a long day yesterday and since it was Cinco de Mayo I was thinking about some good Mexican food. We ventured off to the Hacienda Del Roble on Granite Drive in Rocklin. We have not been there in several years because the last time we went the food was not very good. It is close and we thought some of the other better know restaurants might be very busy. It wasn’t busy, there was no indication they even knew it was a special day and the food was just the same as our last visit. All the dishes we had had Mexican names but none tasted that way. Very disappointing!

New prices: We just lowered the price on two of our listings. Check out the beautiful home in Granite Bay on Ebony Oaks, now offered as a short sale with an asking price of only $775.000. In addition, our Latigo Court listing in Roseville which is a very nice home in a great neighborhood has now been reduced to $428,000. Check these homes out and if give me a call if you would like to arrange a private tour of either home.

New listing: This may be the finest home in Auburn’s most desirable neighborhood, Deer Ridge. Check out this stunning home with six bedrooms, loft study and loads of upgrades on large private lot that feels like a first class resort. This brand new listing is located at 11309 Rain Tree Court in Auburn.
