Anne Fashauer Anderson Valley Real Estate

We've been home from Cabo for about two and a half weeks now and it seems worlds away.  We came home just before Christmas to a bit of madness - last minute shopping, a few delayed meetings and decorating the Christmas tree.  We did that last on Christmas eve itself!  We had family here for the holiday which was really nice, ...

It seems as though Mother Nature wanted us to make sure we knew that the season was changing as she brought in a slight rain storm just as we passed through the autumnal equinox.  The air and the light have changed; the mornings are cooler, crisper, the afternoons filled with a golden tint and the last warmth of the year as the sun moves away ...

According to a recent article in Fortune magazine, the answer is Yes!  Shawn Tully, in an article entitled "The Return of Real Estate" in the April 11, 2011 edition of Fortune, calls real estate "The most attractive asset class in America."  The article focuses on the shortage of new home construction but he also ...

As promised, I have spent a little time looking at the sales figures for the past year in Anderson Valley and have it ready to share with you.  I also have the figures for the previous two years for a little comparison. 2010 saw eleven residential sales, with one currently in escrow, and ten land sales, with three currently in escrow.  ...

It's that time of year when it seems everyone is having a party or there's some kind of gathering to attend.  It's fun to see everyone out and about and often dressed a little differently, perhaps with a little more flair, than the rest of the year.  Two recent events included the Boonville Big Band at Lauren's and the ...

The past few weeks have been busy!  I had several clients come into town to look at property and it looks like two of them have found the places they want to buy.  Have they made offers yet?  No.  And I think this is indicative of our current buyer's market.  The buyer's now know that the clock is on their side; ...

This weekend is jam-packed with stuff to do!  There's the Cops N Robbers ball in Anderson Valley, blues in Point Arena and too many choices on the Mendocino coast to name.  One is going to be hard-put to decide what to do - unless you're me and you are headed to Puerto Vallarta.  Last fall I had the opportunity to purchase a ...

The two home buyer tax credits are expiring at the end of April.  To take advantage of them, besides meeting their general requirements, you need to be under contract to buy a home before the last day of April.  This should also be a wake-up call to anyone thinking of listing their home for sale - if you want to attract buyers who ...

You know how you can live in a place and still not take advantage of all that there is to offer?  For years I lived in San Francisco, but other than the first trip to Alcatraz when I was a freshman at USF I never went there again.  Well, this past weekend I took a walk for the first time on the Haul Road in Fort Bragg.  What a ...

We often get this little break in the weather in February that reminds us that Spring is coming.  It's been beautiful - in the 70's at my house and 59 this morning early.  I hope it was beautiful wherever you are also. Things continue to be on a better course in the real estate world.  Looking at the recent activity, ...
