High Speed Rail Coming to Burlingame

chrismolnar — Tue, 11 May 2010 01:04:21 +0000

The city of Burlingame will be directly affected by the High Speed Rail plans. The project which was approved by voters in 2008,� will have significant impacts on Peninsula communities. The High Speed Rail service construction is scheduled to begin in 2010 and will connect San Francisco and Los Angeles. Tracks will run along the Peninsula Corridor. Burlingame residents love their train station which was built at the end of the nineteenth century and recently received a face lift. How will our station look with an elevated track behind it?The city of Burlingame has asked for an underground solution. But less expensive plans call for an elevated track and sound walls. Burlingame residents are concerned. The High Speed Rail tracks will affect the value of Burlingame Real Estate in general, not just Burlingame neighborhoods close to the tracks.
Next Public High Speed Rail Meeting 5/12/2010 @ 6PM, Burlingame Recreation Center, 850 Burlingame Ave

Saying Goodbye To Traditional Burlingame Homes Built In The Twenties

chrismolnar — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 18:31:01 +0000

There used to be a 4 bedroom/2bath home here with 1850sqft of living space�that was built in the twenties. It was sold in July 2009 for lot value of $ 995,000. Located at 1441 Balboa Ave in Burlingame� this is just one example of how our neighborhoods are changing. Other construction sites that I have noticed just walking around the Easton Addition in Burlingame�are located on these streets: 1100 block of Cortez Ave, 1400 block of Benito Ave, 1300 block of Columbus Ave…..I am sure there are more. If these are spec homes,�they will be�offered anywhere from $ 2,2 to $2.7 million in the very near future.

California Tax Credit for First Time Home Buyers may go fast

chrismolnar — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 17:42:22 +0000

The C.A.R. (California Association of Realtors) predicts that the California Tax Credit of $ 10,000 for First Time Home Buyers might run out within 10 – 20 days. This is based on estimated May sales. However many first time home buyers have extended their closing date into May to take advantage of the $ 8000 Federal Credit and the California Credit. This might deplete the $ 100 million allocated for first time home buyers even faster. Applications can not be filed before May 1, 2010 with the Franchise Tax Board and require that escrow has closed. $ 100 million have been set aside for this program. An additional $ 100 million have been allocated for qualified principal residence purchases that have never been occupied.
