You want what you want

One of our favorite sayings is "you want what you want".  Many times a buyer will come in with the idea that they want to look at finished homes in these beautiful communities and find a home for their family.  They fall in love with the place - natural open space, beautiful surroundings, gated community, terrific fitness facilities/pools, etc.   But as they begin to look more closely they realize that the master suite isn't quite to their taste or the location isn't exactly the one they like the best. In other words:  You want what you want. 

And that's why we sell so much land. 

It's a blank canvas allowing you to create the spaces, finishes and concept that means "home" to you.  It's a process, granted.  And you have to be committed to the idea of working with a team, designing a home and working that through to conclusion.  But if you have the disposition for a project, the rewards can be incredibly worthwhile. 

We have homesites in Monterra ranging from $400,000 to over $4 Million.    Tehama pricing starts at $724,000.  Whether you prefer a pastoral setting, an ocean view or a combination of both, we have great opportunities  in both communities -- some that are flat out DEALS. 

Let us help you get what you want!

Turning a Corner?

As the calendar has flipped over for 2012 and we rolled through January, I was quite surprised to look at my tour sheet for the month and see what a huge increase in tours I had for the beginning of the year.  Up 30% over January last year.  I think that many in the business will concur:  we've turned a corner.  The market is changing -- and for the better.  Activity is just the beginning.  It translates into offers and ultimately sales.  We've been hearing that things in Silicon Valley have been "hot" for the last 6-8 months.  I think that we may finally be seeing the increased activity moving south to the Monterey Peninsula as well.

Dare I say it, but I'm optimistic for 2012.   It's a great time to be a buyer in today's market.  Let me know if I can help turn your real estate ideas into a reality.
