The past fire season brought havoc to areas throughout the state, from Bonsall to Los Angeles, Ventura and up to Paradise in northern California. Erosion control i...

Buyers are ready to take over the steering wheel, but sellers are having a hard time giving it up. Let’s first look at the components that have brought us to this point of transition. We have an affordability problem. The affordability is directly related to lack of supply. Lack of suppl... Full story
