Ever wondered what your neighbor’s kitchen looks like? Now you have a chance to see six beautiful kitchens in Burlingame. This year’s Burlingame Classic Kitchen Tour is scheduled for Monday, October 8, 2007 from 10:00 AM until 3PM. All proceeds benefit BCE (Burlingame Community for Education Foundation). This foundation ensures that Burlingame Elementary School students enjoy critical programs like Music, P.E and a Library program. Good schools reflect in high property values.

Reading this week’s headlines about the mortgage crunch, one is not surprised that even our local Burlingame market is effected. There are plenty qualified home buyers out there who want to move to Burlingame but we need new, fresh inventory. Sellers are holding back thinking this is not a good time to list. If you are thinking of selling your home, drop by any of the open houses this weekend and listen to how frustrated buyers are with the low inventory. As of today we have only 27 single family homes listed. This includes 6 homes carried over from last year. In this market there is no room for overpricing your property or not marketing your property correctly. I have clients who have been looking for that special new home since last fall and quite frankly there has not been much to show them. So I say thank you to the owner of 1520 Los Montes Dr for giving us at least one new property to look at this week!

Are you 55 or older and always wanted to live in a chateau in France? Here is your chance to live at the Versailles right in the center of San Mateo County and enjoy resort living without leaving the country. The first luxury models will be available for showings at the end of August. These 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom condos are being build at the corner of Crystal Springs Road and El Camino Real in San Mateo.
