Although, in my household, today is known as Mom’s Birthday (my Mom, not me!)

This is so much to talk about - Friday was a big day… and not just because it was opening day at the Americana!

So many new listings! Right off I can see that I made a typo. 839 Norton is over priced, but not by that much! The list price is, in fact, $649,000. This is short sale - so why not price it to sell ASAP?

1219 Cleveland - the agent and/or seller is either blind to the comps or the seller is motivated by what they “have to get” from the property to do whatever they want/need to do next. If 1146 Norton, in all it’s amazing yuppie cute, pool and awesome recreation room glory is listed for $749,000 - what hope do you have? News flash - the market couldn’t care less about what you have to “have”.

1410 Winchester features a very pretty picture of a remodeled kitchen… and nothing else. No text, no reason to justify this price for a 2 bedroom home. Get real.

1644 Mountain - at last! A bone fide listing. This home has great space, but a huge part of that is the cavernous and slightly creepy lower level/basement. If you need gargantuan storage space or need to house a whole lot of exchange students, this is the house for you. I think the agent did a great job of pricing it.

1518 N. Columbus - this is such a great location! Agent notes that photos will be up 5/12.

On Friday Liza, Stan and I took a field trip to the Opening Day at the Americana.

We had such a blast! I had always been personally very excited about the Americana, but reserved about the wider implications of the development to the city. Now that it is here, I can only see really positive things for the City of Glendale! This place is just awesome.

Favorite things: A vintage Good Humor truck with a uniformed Good Humor Man selling all our favorite frozen treats, a soda pop stand selling soda in a glass bottle - (they give you a bendy straw!), Lulemon for yoga wear (and free yoga classes!), my new favorite clothing store, Martin and Osa, the most amazing Panini, ever, at Cafe Primo, William, the very cheerful security guard and, of course, the computerized fountain.

The Americana….it’s a good thing.
