So I woke up the other day with a head full of crazy (as you can see from pic #1) From that moment on I made it a priority to get the locks coiffed. I had been wanting to go old school barbering for a while and found Jesse's Barber Shop in San Marcos, CA. What a find! I had been going to one of the big chains where you kind of feel like a number. As soon as I walked in I felt at home, It was a total throwback shop, right down to the spinning barber pole. That's all well and good I thought but the cut is where the rubber meets the road, right? So I put my faith in Mercedes and she did not let me down! Best haircut in ages to go along with great conversation! If you are in need of a great haircut this shop should be not only considered, but frequented! Check it out, Jesse's Barber Shop, 902 W. San Marcos Blvd. Just west of Bent Ave.

North County just got a lot more convenient to the rest of the world.

Is this an example of when it rains it pours? Carlsbad's McClellan Palomar Airport, fresh off the maiden voyage's of Cal Jet's new service to and from Las Vegas is slated to welcome a new old airline with multi city service. California Pacific Airlines. California Pacific was scheduled to begin operations in 2012 but a series of setbacks delayed operations till April 2018.

This is a game changer for North County travel. If you've ever flown out of Palomar you know how convenient it really is. From parking to TSA screening, you know it's a breeze. If you haven't you're in for a treat. These are not Jumbo Jets but they are jets and California Pacific's initial route list includes Oakland, San Jose, Sacramento, Phoenix Las Vegas and Cabo San Lucas. Cal Pacific promises this is the tip of the iceberg, we shall see. Good Luck to both our new air carriers! A new dawn is breaking for North County travel.

Yes, it most certainly is a seller's market.

The supply crisis is hitting housing hard, as strong demand quickly eats up what few listings there are.

Green lawns are awesome, unless you live in irrigated desert. There are other options

Per a 2010 U.S. Census study, the average size of a lawn was reported to be 0.225 acres or 9,801 square feet. That's nearly 400% larger than the actual Average home!

Beyond the Credit Score:

It's not an uncommon experience: you didn't close old accounts, avoided unnecessary hard inquiries to your credit report and even made sure you never exceeded 30% of your total credit limit. Your credit score was on fire - you did everything right. And yet, ready to apply for your first mortgage, th...

SOLD! All Cash/ Full Price

NEW LISTING, Stone Canyon Oasis.

Located in the gated community of Stone Canyon, high above the San Marcos valley you will find a rare gem. Locations and yards like this rarely become available in modern tract housing. Sweeping views that reach to Palomar and Big Bear along with a yard big enough to create your dream. Large enough to fit a pool and all the extras, the only thing that limits you is your imagination. A slope on the south side creates the perfect launching point for a custom slide.

Interior features of this 3,389 square foot home include, but are not limited to a downstairs master bedroom with a huge spa like bathroom. A true gourmet kitchen with Kitchen Aid appliances and an island you need to see to believe. 4 bedrooms all with en suite baths. Bedroom 2, which could also be a second master bedroom has a large private balcony with views. An upstairs bonus room large enough for a multitude of uses, again, let your imagination run free. Bedroom 4 has absolutely the largest walk in closet that I have ever seen for a secondary bedroom.

Schools, this home feeds into some of the best schools in the county, featured by the crown jewel, San Marcos High School. An award winning school before the rebuild you will think you are on a college campus as you stroll the halls. Athletically the baseball team just won the CIF Championship and Girls Volleyball was the CIF Runner up.

This home will not last long, don't miss out.

Could there possibly be an end to the lack of inventory on the San Diego real estate market? The leader of our company, Steve Rogers, came into our office yesterday. Typically we should have 500 listings active or pending for our office this time of year. Last month we had 210. So far this month we are op to just over 300.

What does that mean to you? It means there is more to pick from and the you (the buyer) stand a better chance of purchasing a house without having to pay above appraised value. There is still a long way to go but the trend is there folks.
