We were recently called to stage this gorgeous vacant model town home because it was one of the last available units in a new building. Why wasn’t this one selling? Because there is no separate dining room or defined eating area. So when it was empty, it was very difficult for the average home buyer to figure out where they would sit down to eat. For that reason, many buyers passed on what is actually a fabulous unit. They just needed some help to see its true potential, and that’s where Stage to Sell came in!

So you think the market is down in Los Angeles' Miracle Mile? The stats are in and things are looking up.  In July 2009, the volume (total amount of sales) was $14,836,240 per the CLAWMLS.  For the same period in July 2010 the volume was $15,339,000. Up, not by much but still up. People continue to love the Miracle Mile! Further the average sales price for July 2009 was $812,000 in July 2010 it was $971,000.  With The Grove and all the great retail in Los Angeles around the Miracle Mile it's not a surprise even though prices have declined in other areas they remain strong and show signs of improving in LA's Miracle Mile 09/09/2010

I checked the MLS today as I do every day to see what is happening in the Miracle Mile Market of Los Angeles.  I get into just about every listing when it hits the market and like most people, form an opinion on the house, the price etc.  I noticed today that 2 homes that recently came on the market in the Miracle Mile, specifically the popular South Carthay neibhorhood both went into escrow this week.  One was a bit dated and listed at $1,199,000  and the other was a showplace that listed at $1,495,000 (pics http://www.postrain3.com/kw/1016alvira/mls.php .  The house listed at $1,495,000 belongs to a real estate agent I know and according to him he got multiple offers and over asking within the first 2 weeks of coming on the market.  The interesting thing is that this is a high price f... 10/14/2009

 Greetings Everyone   Things have been quite interesting as of late. The Stock Market closed at levels near the last bear market bottom of 2003 today, Gold in closing in on $1,000 per ounce and nervous investors are buying Bonds in droves in a "flight to quality" move. Can't say I blame them, can you? Also, most of us are trying to figure when/if the housing market will stabilize sometime in the future. I am not a fan of catching daggers, but with many investors buying bonds these days, there is a concern that this will push yeilds to an artificial low, or "overbought" levels.  At some point, it would make sense for traders, especially contrarians, to start shorting bonds, or perhaps even taking a position in ETF's (Exchange Traded Funds) which will allow you to play just about any mark... 02/17/2009
