Record-low Housing Inventory
Redfin: record-low housing inventory is ‘freaking us out’
Source: CNBC
The number of homes for sale in America has been falling steadily for the past year, but the situation is apparently getting much worse as spring demand heats up.
“The inventory is reaching historic lows. It’s never declined faster than it did last month. It’s freaking us out — it’s affecting our business; it’s limiting our sales,” said Glenn Kelman, CEO of Seattle-based Redfin, a real estate firm. “We’re going to be fine in terms of market share, but I think the overall industry for the first time is seeing sales volume really limited by the inventory crunch.” Read more

Real Estate Termite Inspections
Real Estate Termite Inspections
Here in San Diego California where the average residential resale prices now over $500,000, most homeowners realize the value of maintaining their property and so any landscaping maintenance or peeling paint is usually addressed quite quickly. But when it comes to one of the most destructive conditions that face homeowners, the vast majority elect to go with the out of sight out of mind philosophy.
Sure, but I’m talking about here is termites and dry rot. These are two main things that San Diego pest control companies look for when doing a home inspection. I don’t think that there’s many homeowners who haven’t seen houses that are tented to eradicate termites. It’s unfortunate but this usually occurs because the home entered escrow and the purchaser requested a termite/pest control clearance. Read more
Shopping malls closing
The reasons why malls across the US are closing down more than ever
The American shopping mall is in crisis. We explore the variety of reasons why malls cannot keep their stories afloat and are becoming vacant wastelands. Some insiders are saying that a third of all U.S. shopping malls are projected to close as ‘Space Available’ signs go up all over the U.S.
It’s not about laziness. Going to the mall eats up half your day. Going online and buying what you need can be done before breakfast. And you don’t have to fight for a parking spot. People have busy lives. They don’t have time to mess around at an overpriced mall and fight the crowds.
Two important points I think were missed in the video: Class B and C malls account for most of the closings – elite class A malls are doing just fine, and are expected to out live the others through the next 10 years. Also, outdoor malls are faring better than indoor malls. I’m guessing it is the more prestigious shops that wish to more fully control the customer experience. Read more

A unique visitor is one visit from a unique IP address within a 24-hour period.
