Planning, planning, planning!  That’s my mantra.  The home construction business is a mine-field of unpredictable events.  Only proper planning, scheduling and purchasing can help you avoid the common pitfalls of home remodeling and new home constructions.

I’m often asked, when is the best time of year to start our remodel project?  It’s a good question as weather and holidays certainly can affect the progress of any remodel.

Real estate has taken a major hit nationwide and Southern California is not exempt from the downturn.  While our property values have fallen, they have not reached the depths of some of the more desperate western markets like Las Vegas and Phoenix.  Comparatively, real estate values have held fairly steady in our market.  Beach and beach city residential property has remained solid and continues to be a great place to invest in real estate.
