Long Awaited Supermarket Opens Today for Sun City Residents

Kimberly Jones Realty Source Beach — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 03:16:00 GMT

Residents have waited for over a decade for todays opening of a supermarket just out side of the gates of the community at Washington & Varner Street. After many failed attempts to secure a supermarket for this location, the developer was finally able to secure Stater Brothers as an anchor store for the new shopping center. Stater Brothers calls this a blue ribbon store, as it is a bit more upscale than the La Quinta store.

Walgreen's will soon open in the same center. Rite Aid opening will follow shortly across the street. A buzz of excitement filled the air as the parking lot was full the entire day. This store will service over 10,000 homes on the east side of the 10 FWY as well as the growing numbers of residents in Sky Valley. Washington Street is the commuter road to East Thousand Palms as well as Sky Valley.

Officials looking into Snow Creek as location for wildlife sanctuary

Wildlife sanctuary with valley plans Suzanne Somers and husband Alan Hamel may be able to help.

Submitted by Wildlife WayStation

The largest great ape center in the western United States could be located in Palm Springs if the Wildlife WayStation relocates here from Los Angeles.

The 160-acre nonprofit entity, home to rescued tigers, cougars, lions, monkeys and more, is looking to relocate because the county of Los Angeles wants to develop in its area.

"Dave Baron, an attorney representing Suzanne Somers and husband Alan Hamel's 500 acres of property in Snow Creek, at the corner of Interstate 10 and Highway 111, said he has been talking to the mayor for two to three months about developing the WayStation on a portion of his client's property."

Are Open Houses Still Worth It?

Kimberly Jones Realty Source Beach — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 04:22:00 GMT

Industry watchers evaluate the practicality of holding open houses in today's market. In this age of "virtual tour," "talking houses," and practically every real estate client using the Internet during some segment of their new home search, is the practice of hosting open houses becoming impractical?

Data Provided by Lowes

"Now the Open House serves as a showcase for the home, and highlights differences to the buyers who have
many more options."

Are Open Houses Still Worth It?

By John Voket

RISMEDIA, Jan. 16, 2007-In this age of "virtual tours," "talking houses," and
practically every real estate client using the Internet during some segment of their
new home search, is the practice of hosting open houses becoming impractical?
While precise figures on the exact number of home sales directly resulting from open
house visits remain elusive, it is clear that real estate professionals and industry
watchers from across the nation believe the "open house" still plays a vital role in the
overall strategy of marketing homes for sale.

Sharon Luther, a Realtor, mediator, and member of the Professional Standards
Council, Bay East Association in Castro Valley, CA, bemoaned the lack of hard data to
substantiate whether or not open houses serve any relevant purpose.
She suggested in the current market situations where time on the market is
increasing markedly and buyers are driving hard bargains, sellers want to see their
Realtor "working."

"I think this may be one of the primary reasons why many agents are forced to hold
homes open," Luther said. "But in this day and age, most people are hooked in (to
considering certain homes) by the Internet, and almost everybody seriously looking
to buy a home is pre-qualified, so many of the reasons why we used to hold open
houses are no longer applicable."

Delores A. Conway, Director of the Casden Real Estate Economics Forecast at USC's
Lusk Center believes that in a hot market a seller has a lot of power because houses
don't stay available for long.

"But in a slowing market, houses are staying on longer," she said. "Now the Open
House serves as a showcase for the home, and highlights differences to the buyers
who have many more options."

Conway believes if Realtors don't hold open houses, their clients will be at a
disadvantage. While she concedes that buyers are doing a lot more homework on the
Internet, she said open houses still provide a lot more information than the Internet
listing.

"Open houses are typically used in normal times, and the cost to hold them is
justified because of the competition in the market," Conway said. "While percentages
of sales from open houses vary widely, some areas attribute a significantly higher
number of sales (to the pratice)."

John Ansbach of RECON Intelligence Services agrees that in recent years, agents
have been shying away from open houses as a networking and referral tool.
"None of our clients are stopping it, but it is no longer the consumers' exclusive
experience. While in the future, it might be challenging to prove their value in the
larger scope of the overall transaction, I think today open houses still earn their
keep," Ansbach said. "For a vast majority of professionals it is still a viable
experience, and an exhibit of value to both the seller and the buyer."

According to a 2004 survey by the National Association of Realtors, 87 percent of
home buyers found open houses very or somewhat useful in their home search.
A 2003 NAR survey showed 72 percent of 3,000 buyers, "…drove by or viewed a
house for sale as a result of an Internet search. While 46 percent walked through a
house visited online.

Ann Garti, CEO of the Orange County Assoc. of Realtors said judging from the open
house announcements in weekend papers in her region, she believes the practice still
has purpose.

"However, I have no way of knowing the amount of traffic generated," Garti said.
She pointed out that Prudential Douglas Elliman do full page ads in the NY Times,
and Weichert Realtors also use the full-page print advertisement to showcase open
house opportunities extensively.
Ann Guiberson, President/CEO of Pinellas Realtor® Organization in Clearwater,
Florida agrees with Garti.

"There has been a huge up-tick in open houses; however for years my members
have said they are not really effective in helping to sell the home" Guiberson said.
"They do it because it makes the seller feel good, and sometimes the Realtor who
sits on the open house gets some leads."

Guiberson observed that overall, the real estate industry seems to be returning a era
where they are trying to, "go back to the basics. But at the same time, (the industry
is) resurrecting tactics that were not especially effective in the last transitioning or
buyers' market," she added.

As far as Sharon Luther is concerned, open houses in a world providing a wealth of
other electronic options potential buyers can access from the comfort of their own
home or desk heavily weigh against this "old school" marketing practice.
