FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

January 21, 2010

Welcome to the Westside of Los Angeles!  Happy New Year and a Fresh New Season as it rains down on Southern California.

The interest rates are still historically low and to the frustration of many of my buyers so is the inventory of Westside homes (from Santa Monica to Hawthorne).

As we are being washed by the recent rain storms, our mild weather cannot be appreciated until it clears.  However, convenience to your work or play places is why many make their home here on the Westside of Los Angeles.

The low supply of available properties have kept prices some what stable as has the extension of the Federal tax rebate if you qualify.  Entry level in all areas are the hottest especially those that are in move-in condition. An entry level home can be $1.3 million in the prime section of Santa Monica or $600,000 in West Los Angeles.  We are fortunate in Los Angeles to have so many micro climates and micro villages/communities. To find the most comfortable for you, call Keith Endow with Coldwell Banker Westside DRE#00481697 (310)442-6189 or e-mail:  keithendow@mac.com.

Keith's 2010  motto is

            Vision  Action  Celebration!

Your "Vision" and desire for us to obtain

"Action" to obtain what you hope for

"Celebration" when you enjoy the benefits of acquiring your hope for property.

P.S. Here are some general questions I believe are important for you to ask yourself on buying a single family home:  1) Why do I need a new home/new primary residence(condo,house)? 2) How long am I planning to stay in this next home? 3) Are there any known uncertainties with my life (school, job, business opportunity, relationship)?  4) What do I expect from purchasing this new place?  Do want more space or more security or less people around you or make money through appreciation or need a tax write-off or ??? Whatever your answers are, they will enable you and your real estate agent to better strategize what will give the highest return and satisfaction.

There are other specific questions I would have you answer on your own personal forecasting, so feel free to call me at (310) 442-6189. Also, if you want the questions I would ask if you are looking for a real estate investment, please call me or e-mail me and I will share this with you.
