Can I really buy a house at the San Bruno Farmer’s Market?
Karin Cunningham-"Your San Bruno real estate specialist at your service!"
Lee Ginsburg-"San Bruno residential and investment specialist!"
Lee Ginsburg and I worked a booth at the San Bruno Farmer’s Market last Sunday and had such a blast! We are always trying to think of ways to promote our buyers and sellers and when we heard that the San Bruno Chamber of Commerce was offering booths to promote businesses, we thought it was a great idea for us! Since our office, Prudential California Realty, is in San Bruno, I live in San Bruno, I do a good portion of my business in San Bruno, not to mention my kids go to school and play sports here, I knew a good amount of people that walked by! It was a really great experience!

How much higher do I offer?
About one & a half year ago, often I was asked “How much lower can I offer?” It seems like those days are gone. Last week I wrote 3 offers for 3 of my clients. And yes, you guessed right, I was asked every single time, “how much higher do I offer?” Real Estate market has clearly changed, I’d say, since 2 months ago. Many properties receive multiple offers after only a short number of days on the market. Most offers are over the asking price. One of my clients offered $530,000 on property listed for $499,000, and his turned out to be one of the 14 rejected offers. From my experience and what I hear from my colleagues, offers may need to be over 10% of the list price to be considered a strong offer. What has been your experience recently?
San Bruno 4th of July Dale Wilson All Star Tournement 2009
Bruno All Stars 4th of July 2009The San Bruno Dale Wilson 4th of July Memorial Tournement was an awesome event! The 7-8 year old “Bruno” team came from behind in two of their games and won the championship title undefeated! San Bruno has always had a passion for Pee Wee leagues and All Stars. It’s a great American feeling in San Bruno when you mix BBQ, legal “safe and sane” fireworks and lots of baseball games at San Bruno Park!

It’s not what they offer, it’s what you walk away with that counts!
When it comes to buying or selling a property, the conventional wisdom is that it’s all about the offer price and that certainly is a big part of the picture. However, a seller really needs to think about what they will walk away with, or rather, what they will NET; after all selling expenses are paid out. As a seller you have to make decisions that in the long run may end up costing you money. Read more

San Bruno Farmer’s Market is a GREAT success!
If you haven’t heard, the San Bruno Farmer’s Market started on Sunday, June 21st and is continuing every Sunday through October from 10-2pm! Downtown Sundays will have live music, fresh fruit and vegetables, flowers, specialty breads and international food.
If you haven’t checked it out, I highly recommend swinging by! I was there on the first day and enjoyed picking out a variety of strawberries, blackberries and blueberries. I also bought some carrots, all kinds of summer squashes, and peaches! They were all delicious!
There was also a kettle corn booth, a booth for coloring and laminating commemorative pins, and a featured business. This event is put on by the San Bruno Chamber of Commerce so a featured business is an appropriate and great way for a business to promote themselves! (That means you’ll see me there one day, for sure!)
If you don’t have plans on a Sunday this summer, try to make it to the San Bruno Farmer’s Market! It’s a great local event you won’t want to miss!
We’re Getting the Job Done
Conservatives will say government has done too much, while liberals will say government has done too little. No sense in debating the argument; the differences are irreconcilable. But what isn’t debatable is the recovery, which will fully bloom because of the efforts of the private section.
Former junk-bond king Michael Milken noted as much in the Wall Street Journal. One of the more pervasive myths is that money is in short supply, but it’s really not. Milken noted that corporations worldwide have raised nearly $2 trillion in public and private markets this year, a clear sign the economy is improving. The fact that non-investment-grade companies, such as Harrah’s Entertainment, Warner Music Group, MGM Mirage, and Rite Aid, are now paying down bank debt with newly raised funds shows the capacity of our financial markets to re-capitalize, thanks mostly to the efforts of private financiers.
