Judy Graff's sublime-to-the-ridiculous (well, mostly ridiculous) take on real estate for east San Fernando Valley and North Los Angeles communities. This includes Hollywood Hills, Burbank, Studio City and Toluca Lake real estate and homes for sale, and also covers Valley Village, North Hollywood, Glendale, Atwater, Highland Park, Silverlake, Sherman Oaks and other L.A. areas too. General news and musings as well.

It's not just us.
I just returned from a week in Paris. Yes, I know; I'm a lucky, lucky person and we had a great time. Anyway, when I was last there eight years ago, I saw maybe one real estate office the entire time I was there. And now, there's a real estate office on every block. With beautiful pictures of apartments and flats for sale in the window. And they're not cheap -- studios in nice neighborhoods seem to be listing for $450,000 and up. I read that real estate has increased in price in Paris by 79% since 2005! I also understand that the Paris real estate market has slowed quite a bit (I have no knowledge of lending, title or mortgage issues there). So we're not the only country/state/city that had a real estate run-up and is now having problems, it seems.

Some years ago I sold my first home without any Net resources. But it was very difficult for me. I heard that some services can publish ads about my home in the Internet. Can you help me to choose between http://www.fizber.com/ and http://www.trulia.com/ ? Do you know anything about these services? My friend said that "Trulia" better than "Fizber". But maybe he wasn't right. So I need help.
ReplyDeleteYura, I haven't heard of Fizber.com, but Trulia is quite well-known. Please contact me off-line if I can help you in any way.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Judy I'll check this out.
