Open house yesterday Sunday April 13, 2008

I advertised and held an open house at 548 Feather River Way in Vacaville yesterday, I have 2 listings on this block, people looking at this open house also asked to see the other home for sale on the same street. I was happy to comply and went from one house to the other for 3 hours, bringing the groups of people back and forth and finding groups of people waiting at the front door of the other home.

This is a healthy sign of buyers being out and about, looking at homes again. Both of these homes are absolutely gorgeous homes in a fabulous location near Genentech and Alza in Vacaville in the Vacaville school district and are worth the attention they are getting.

Dixon approves recycling bins

Starting March 28, 2008 citizens of Dixon will be using new blue toter bins when dumping their trash each week. They will also have to learn a new way to park their toters, sideways, so they can dump the things into the trucks. Soon the new toter will be delivered to your home.

Dixon stops trains

City of Dixon unanimously approved a breath of life for downtown businesses and the city in general by accepting a grant to install the needed platform to bring in Amtrak station as a commuter train stop downtown Dixon, this will generate traffic and business to the downtown Dixon area and improve the home values in the area as commuters from the bay area can consider this city when shopping for a home.
