A prelude and promenade to the “Once Upon a Dream” show begins at 7:45 pm with the show beginning at 8:15 pm and ending each evening at 10:00 pm. at Strauss Island by the lake.
I personally have never attended the festival but I hear that everyone would be surprised that these are not professional dancers . Having danced and taught dancing before my years of being a Realtor ®, it’s amazing that I haven’t attended one of Elk Grove’s finest…perhaps this year.
Bringing to life the sounds of Johann Strauss with a professional orchestra the Strauss Festival brings over 30,000 people each year since 1987. After each performance there are fireworks. This is a favorite of many and perhaps this year, I will make the time to be enchanted with the flavor of the waltz, the costumes, the music and the ambiance.
Bring your blanket to reserve your seat early along with your picnic dinner. There is food there to purchase.

Elk Grove CA Home Buyers
November 19th, 2008 categories: Elk Grove
Are you a home buyer in the Sacramento area and thinking about buying a house in Elk Grove, CA? There are some fantastic neighborhoods in Elk Grove which has three zip codes (95624, 95757 and 95758). There are many homes to chose from along with a variety of price ranges.
One of the reasons I like Elk Grove is the close proximity to major freeways. Highway 99 and Interstate 5 are both quick accesses to Downtown Sacramento which takes about 20 minutes in traffic, Tahoe along Highway 50 or Highway 80 and of course the Bay Area. Just a hop, skip and a jump to almost anywhere.
The homes in Elk Grove for the most part lend themselves to larger yards than most of the other areas with a variety of homes from more established to newer, gated, bordering golf course and more. Elk Grove also has had a City Council who has monitored the spending and is one of the few Cities that is fiscally solvent.
There is an exceptional 5 bedroom home for sale in Elk Grove with a pool that has 2617 square feet and offered for $318,650. Take a tour and see and if you are ready to start decorating and entertaining in this home for the holidays.
Did I mention that this home has a bedroom downstairs with a full bath? Any home buyer buying a two story home should know that a bedroom downstairs is a MUST for resale value.

DataQuick has complied a list of cities by county showing the number of Notices of Default for each area. Check to see how your County compared to all the rest.
Supposedly there is a slowing of banks taking over homes due to a new law, Senate Bill SB1137 that passed in July telling banks that they must make 3 telephone calls to borrowers having trouble paying their payments before filing a notice of default. Is this lip action or is there any substance to these calls?

Elk Grove Real Estate
October 12th, 2008 categories: Elk Grove, Real Estate
Elk Grove, CA real estate is selling. September 2008 real estate market report shows the home sales in each of the 3 zip codes, 95624, 95758 and 95757 are up. Since Elk Grove, CA experienced a high boom in new home sale, there have been quite a few foreclosures in Elk Grove.
In the above video, I unfortunately made a mistake a said, the Elk Grove stats for the “month” instead of saying the Year-to-Date stats. Please excuse the error.
In my opinion as an Elk Grove Realtor, since Elk Grove has the highest number of foreclosures in the Sacramento area and also had the biggest new housing boom it tells me that new home builders were not looking out for the home buyers interest in getting them good loans. That’s just another good reason to make sure as a home buyer looking to buy a new home from a new home builder that you are represented by an experienced Realtor. Not only will we make sure you don’t over pay but we can help to refer a home buyer to a reputable lender so that you don’t loose your home to a foreclosure.
Be sure to check out Sacramento Real Estate Voice for Monday’s article on Getting Pre-Approved…
