December rings in as the most joyful time of the year.

You will notice that a giving spirit exists, unlike other times of the year, if you look around.  | VIDEO

Unfortunately, many homeowners feel the bind of being ready to enjoy the holiday but trapped with a big task. They are desperate to exit their current loft, condo or house and give themselves a big Christmas Gift – a NEW place to call home.

Here’s how you and I can help. As a result of my team’s work with over 5,000 families over 20 years and three recessions, we have developed a unique program to quickly get an acceptable “cash” offer on any home for market value. So we are giving Home Owners wanting to make a move an extraordinary gift this holiday season. For December, we will guarantee, in writing, the sale of an area home in 30 days at a price acceptable to the homeowner. In the event there is no sale, we’ll pay the homeowner $5,000. The homeowner and I need to agree on the price. We do that starting with a simple, FREE consultation.

Here is what you can do to help!

If anyone you know, including yourself, is considering making a move, we would like to offer them a FREE, No Obligation to Sell for Top Dollar Consultation. On this call, we’ll discuss just how they can make their move, get what they want, and do it with the least hassle.

AND while we are on the phone, I will instantly send over a FREE Special Report titled “Costly Home Seller Mistakes to Avoid When Selling During the Holiday Season.” Just like we are thankful for you and your business, I am confident your referrals will be thanking you for steering them in the right direction on getting their home sold!!!

*A GREAT Guarantee: Sold in 30 Days, or I pay a $5,000.00 Cash Penalty!

*A FREE Consultation to Discuss What Price Can Be Expected.

*A FREE Special Report that details Mistakes to Avoid When Selling in Today’s Market.

AND remember, YOUR referrals help the Kids!

We are still on a mission to raise $25,000 for Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles CHLA, so we donate a good portion of our income from home sales. As you know, CHLA does a tremendous job of helping kids fight through and survive heart transplants: stuff that many times rob the life right out of young people.

Attached is a story of one child’s life being saved. CHLA survives on Sponsorships and Donations.

Why I Support Children’s Hospital Los Angeles

I grew up right here in the Los Angeles area. Born at St. Francis Hospital. When I first heard about a young person close to our family suffering from a life-threatening disease and getting treated for that at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. It was then that I began to pay more immediate attention to their work at that hospital. Since then, I have learned that it is a collection of hard-working health care professionals, most making their home right here in the Los Angeles area, all coming together for a common cause. That cause is to help young people overcome unfortunate health issues that life sometimes throws our way.

Being in the Los Angeles area, a California native, I take pride in supporting so that I can do the good work these people do at Children’s. My team rallies around our annual goal of raising money and donating portions of our income to help Children’s in their quest to heal young people when they need healing. My team and I are committed to providing outstanding results for buyers and sellers referred to us by our past clients. I have discovered that Children’s Hospital Los Angeles shares similar commitments to their patients. And since their services survive on sponsorships and donations, we are happy to contribute and proud to support them. 

Over the years our team has helped our friends, family, clients to buy, sell or lease a home, we have met some wonderful, loving, caring people. 

People like you!

So your referrals can be assured that not only will they get the award-winning service we are known for but also the guarantee to back it up, but that a solid portion of the income we receive will go toward a very worthy cause. 

Heart of Gold

A serious heart defect isn’t stopping Maceo Alvarez from playing his favorite sport—and helping other sick children at the holidays.

Maceo Alvarez likes a lot of sports—but nothing compares with his love for football. “He’s like a football addict,” his mother, Monique Esparza, says.

“You get to catch, you get to run, you get to juke, you get to spin,” says the 8-year-old Monrovia second grader. “You can also jump if they dive for your legs.”

Last fall, for the first time, Maceo got to play on a football team. At the start of the season, he set out with his mom to pick up his gear, including cleats, uniforms and one extra item: special padding to protect his pacemaker.

Monique was admittedly nervous. Maceo not only has a pacemaker, but he’s also undergone 13 surgeries, including six open-heart surgeries, as a result of being born with tricuspid atresia, a rare heart condition in which the tricuspid valve doesn’t develop in the womb. The defect blocks proper blood flow to the lungs and caused the right side of Maceo’s heart to be severely underdeveloped. The tricuspid valve can’t be replaced, so patients undergo a series of surgeries to reroute blood flow through the body. Football—even the flag football Maceo is playing—wasn’t exactly doctor recommended. In fact, it was doctor forbidden. So said Michael Silka, MD, one of Maceo’s cardiologists at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.

“Dr. Silka kept telling him, ‘No, no, no, no, no,’” Monique says.

But Maceo had a counter. His stepdad had told him about D.J. Hayden, a cornerback for the Oakland Raiders who suffered a near-fatal heart injury in college that had to be surgically repaired. So on the next visit to Silka, Maceo came prepared. “D.J. Hayden plays for the Raiders in the NFL and he has a scar just like mine,” he told the doctor. “So I’m playing football.”

Silka eventually relented and Maceo joined a team. What’s more, Maceo and Hayden developed a friendship, after Monique tagged Hayden in an Instagram photo of her son. Hayden responded, and the two have been Facebook friends ever since. This past summer, Maceo spent a day at the Raiders’ training camp in Napa, California, at Hayden’s invitation.

It was Monique’s instinct to say no to her son’s football aspirations as well, but when she saw his excitement at finally being healthy enough to play the game he loves, she couldn’t.

“He’s determined,” she says. “He wants to do everything you tell him he can’t do.”

Although Maceo is doing well, his battles aren’t over. A few months back, he was suffering from a severe lack of energy and sleeping all day. “He just wasn’t himself,” Monique says. “He didn’t want to play football. Didn’t even pick up a football for a few months.”

Maceo had developed pulmonary hypertension, and was put on a new medication to control it. If the medicine doesn’t work, he may ultimately need a heart transplant. Monique says outward signs are positive, though she can’t be sure until another catheterization is done.

“I can’t say 100 percent it’s working, but ever since he’s been on this medication, I can look at him and tell you that he’s in a way better place than he was a few months ago.”

That’s good news not only for Maceo and his family, but also for other heart patients at CHLA, who can expect to again be the recipients of Maceo’s kindness this holiday season. Two years ago on Halloween, as he was being discharged after an inpatient stay, Maceo spotted someone bringing Halloween costumes into the hospital. Happy to learn that the kids in the hospital would be able to have Halloween, it got him thinking ahead.

“How is Santa Claus going to get into the hospital if there’s no chimney?” he asked his mom.

Maceo declared that he would be Santa Claus and bring presents to the hospital. Monique quickly organized a toy drive and returned with Maceo in December with gifts for every child in the Heart Institute. That began what is now an annual holiday event.

“They’re stuck in the hospital, like I was,” Maceo says. “So we’re going to bring Christmas to them.”

What motivates him to do the toy drive each year? He has a succinct answer: “Because I’m helping the kids.”

Real Estate Market Report: Downtown Los Angeles – October 2023 vs. October 2022 | Prices Up

The real estate market is a dynamic entity, constantly evolving and influenced by a myriad of factors. Downtown Los Angeles, a hub of commerce, culture, and residential living, is no exception. In this report, we will delve into the data from October 2023 and compare it with the same month from the previous year, October 2022.

Overview:

The data provided offers a comprehensive look into various aspects of the real estate market, including listings that were withdrawn, canceled, expired, sold, pending, on hold, under active contract, and those that are currently active. For the sake of brevity and relevance, our analysis will focus primarily on the sold listings and the duration on the market (DOM) statistics.

Sold Listings:

October 2023:

  • Number of Listings Sold: 38
  • Lowest Selling Price (SP): $353,000
  • Median SP: $550,000
  • Highest SP: $1,555,000
  • Average SP: $685,202
  • Average Price per Sq.Ft.: $683.55
  • Total Volume: $26,037,687

October 2022:

  • Number of Listings Sold: 27
  • Lowest SP: $360,000
  • Median SP: $560,000
  • Highest SP: $1,132,000
  • Average SP: $648,685
  • Average Price per Sq.Ft.: $699.40
  • Total Volume: $17,514,500

Analysis:

  1. Volume of Sales: There was a noticeable increase in the number of properties sold in October 2023 (38) compared to October 2022 (27). This indicates a more active market in 2023.
  2. Selling Price: The lowest and median selling prices saw a slight decrease in 2023 compared to 2022. However, the highest selling price in 2023 ($1,555,000) was significantly higher than in 2022 ($1,132,000). This suggests that while the general market might be slightly more affordable, luxury properties or those in prime locations are fetching a higher price.
  3. Price per Square Foot: The average price per square foot decreased marginally from $699.40 in 2022 to $683.55 in 2023. This could indicate that buyers are getting slightly more space for their money in 2023.
  4. Total Volume: The total volume of sales increased substantially from $17,514,500 in 2022 to $26,037,687 in 2023, further emphasizing the heightened activity in the 2023 market.

Duration on Market (DOM) Statistics:

The DOM statistics provide insights into how long properties typically stay on the market before being sold. A shorter DOM can indicate a seller’s market, while a longer DOM might suggest a buyer’s market.

October 2023:

  • 0-30 Days: 44.74% of listings sold, with an average of 99.03% of the list price received.
  • 31-60 Days: 21.05% of listings sold, with an average of 97.62% of the list price received.

October 2022:

  • 0-30 Days: 33.33% of listings sold, with an average of 99.15% of the list price received.
  • 31-60 Days: 33.33% of listings sold, with an average of 97.96% of the list price received.

Analysis:

In October 2023, a larger percentage of properties (44.74%) were sold within the first 30 days compared to 2022 (33.33%). This suggests that properties in 2023 were moving off the market faster, possibly due to increased demand or more competitive pricing. The numbers pertain to Downtown Los Angeles and nearby loft neighborhoods in MLS Areas 23,42 and 1375.

Market Improving for Home Sellers:

The Downtown Los Angeles real estate market in October 2023 showed signs of increased activity compared to October 2022. With more properties sold, a higher total sales volume, and a shorter duration on the market for many listings, 2023 seems to have been a more dynamic year for real estate in the area. Whether you’re a buyer, seller, or investor, understanding these trends can offer valuable insights into the market’s direction and potential opportunities in the future.
