When I received the “swing by to discuss listing our house” call, of course I was excited. Not only because 12 Silverbreeze is in one of the most prestigious tracts in Woodbridge, Irvine, (The Landings), but also because I have a lot of experience in listing and selling real estate in both Landing I and Landing II.    My sellers spent about $100K upgrading their back yard alone... and it's gorgeous. Need TWO stainless steel built-in BBQs? No problem. And the outside fridge & sink are stainless steel too. The rest of the outside area is just as appealing, for example, the outside fireplace, the brick, tile & slate hardscape, and the custom spa. Like Brazilian Cherry Wood flooring? How about top-of-the-line appliances in a beautifully upgraded kitchen? Or stunning custom Travertine stonew... 11/02/2013

As a Woodbridge homeowner and Realtor, I’m excited to see that prices and sales activity have increased substantially. This is true in all areas of the Woodbridge market, including condo tracts like Lakeside and Seasons, and detached SFR tracts like Landing I & II. These two Woodbridge listings of mine close escrow this month:   Speaking of the “Landings”, so far this year 11 homes have sold, (4 sides were mine), one is in escrow, and two are "active". That's up quite a bit from the 7 sales per year we saw each in 2012, 2011 & 2010. See details of Landing I & II activity here. Many homeowners who were delaying listing their homes for sale a year or so ago, saw the improvement in the market, and are now cashing in! That said, unless the homes are marketed incredibly well, thereby maximiz... 10/04/2013
