I'll be at Burbank's planning board tonight (May 14) at 6:00 pm. A 20-unit apartment complex is planned for Harvard Road, right behind my house, and I have filed an appeal against it. How many more people can we shoehorn into this neighborhood?! I know this is not politically correct for a Realtor to be opposing a developer, and I'll probably lose, but I want to have my say. I think this will be televised on Charter channel 6. 05/14/2007

May 1st the Daily News business headline reads "Valley Median Home Price Dips".  Guess how much the median price "dipped"?   One thousand dollars.  Can we say, "Wow"?   No, we can't.Let's look at the city of Burbank's results, comparing March to April.  What picture will the numbers paint?I measure the overall market with a Market Index, which is composed of key market variables we can measure.  If the Market Index is greater than 1.20, then it's a seller's market.  If it's between 1.20 and 0.80, it's a balanced market.  Below 0.80, it's a buyer's market.  Burbank's Market Index at the end of March was 0.53.  At the end of April it was 0.38, a fifteen point drop, or 28%.  If the stock market dropped 28% would you be worried?Let's look at what makes up the Market Index and see if we can ... 05/09/2007

For those Burbank and Toluca Lake residents that have not been checking in with Caltrans or the Transportation Department at City of Burbank there’s a 134 Freeway project that may impact your commute.  According to Caltrans, the State Route 134 Ramp Project will construct a new westbound Onramp to Route 134 (Ventura Freeway) at Hollywood Way. This new ramp is needed to reduce congestion at the busy Hollywood Way / Alameda Avenue intersection and improve access to the 134 Freeway from the Media District. The project will begin April 9, 2007 and will last three years. During the construction period, be on the lookout for lane closures and detours for portions of Hollywood Way, Alameda Avenue, and Pass Avenue.   Plan accordingly, as your morning commute will probably be affected during th... 05/02/2007

If you are looking for a slice of suburbia within the confines of a big city, then Magnolia Park might be right for you! Magnolia Park is a quaint and beautiful area of Burbank California.  Blocks from the Media Center District, the community is made up of over 3000 homes and hundreds of businesses.  This neighborhood is located between Hollywood Way, Buena Vista Street, Clark Ave. and Chandler Blvd.  I have spoken to residents, however, that believe the true boundaries go as far east as Pass Ave. and as far south as Verdugo Ave.  However you define the boundaries you are looking at tree lined streets and small town charm.  The area offers homes of all types and is a great place to raise kids.  It is home to a diverse community and literally minutes from hip and trendy restaurants of H... 05/01/2007

I've been fortunate enough to call Burbank California home for 14 years.  I first moved to Burbank to take advantage of their public schools for my child.  I quickly realized it was a very special city filled with small town charm.  Let me just say that this community has changed much in some ways and little in others.  Johnny Carson would periodically refer to our city as "Beautiful Downtown Burbank" on the Tonight Show, Starring Johnny Carson.  This was funny as there was not much of a downtown at that time and I'm not sure beautiful is an adjective I would have chosen to describe the area. Growth is inevitable and the powers that be have managed to incorporate a pretty good balance between projects that have an economic benefit and those that enhance the overall beauty and charm of l... 04/19/2007

The landlord must store any belongings left behind by the tenant after the eviction for exactly 30 days, charging the tenant a reasonable storage fee. An example of a unreasonable storage fee would be a full months rent for a week or less for the storage of their belongings. After that time, a public sale may be held and the proceeds of the sale used by the owner to pay for the costs of  the storage and the sale. Any balance remaining after payment of these costs must be returned to the tenant.  Termination of a Lease :Expiration of the TermsMutual AgreementViolations of Terms and ConditionsDestrcution of the PremisesEviction Eddy MartinezBest Rate Funding - Direct Lender - Wholesale RatesSenior Loan ConsultantDirect Line: 1-888-702-2225 x. 115E- Fax :1-310-943-6551bestrate Funding"A bu... 12/30/2006
