*Absorption rate is the number of months it will take to sell the existing inventory. 6 months is a balanced market, over six months a buyers’ market and under six months a sellers’ market. The absorption rates above are based on the last six months sales.Not surprisingly, single family homes under $5 Million and condos under $1 million are doing quite well for Beverly Hills home sellers as is the $2 to $5 Million range for single family homes. The other brackets favor buyers, especially the over $5 Million single family market.

Happy belated 2012! It’s been a while since I have hit the sheets (of paper that is) and posted new entries. After a well earned Christmas in London and an awesome New Years in Berlin, we are all back in full force. Although in truth, we never stopped. Paperwork on Christmas, signatures New Years Eve...a Turbo Rich Kid Agent is there for you and ready to go...any time, any place, any country.
This week, Rich Kids has a new sale closing in the prime Hollywood Hills off Queens Road with some of the most amazing panoramic views you have ever seen. Also on tap is a short sale condo that received 6 offers within the first day it was open to be shown accepted well above list, and a killer lease in a West Hollywood architectural gem that you would sell your mother for!
All that and some insight into investing overseas: my day with a West London Foxton’s Estate Agent. It’s a lucrative market for investing, but make sure to clench because if you aren't careful you could be “Gazumped” by another buyer right at the end (to be explained). With the Olympics and Queen’s Jubilee Anniversary on tap, there could be some interesting investment opportunities. Side note: for those of you new to the Rich Kids blog, I am not English but will get a case of the “Madonna’s” from time to time and I certainly have a fondness for both London and Hydrangeas.
“Do you want more? Well I’ll give you more”. This is just the teaser. Stay tuned...killer sales, new ads, events, and lots of market info to come. The Rich Kids blog is juicer than ever this year! Strip down and cool off because it’s going to be a hot winter in Beverly Hills (literally...it was 80 degrees today).

Most common question:
Why am I being charged $ 285.00 for the Kitchen Faucet I want, when I can get the same Kitchen faucet at my local home store for less than that, and still charge me an additional amount for the installation?
A:
Plumbers usually purchase supplies from a plumbing supply company. The plumbing supply store sells at a wholesale contractor's price, and has a list price at what the item sells for retail. The plumber purchases at the wholesale price and sells it to you at the list (retail) price. The price difference covers for time, purchasing and delivering the fixture. That's not mentioning if for some reason the item has to be returned because the customer decided on another style or color.

It's quite simple, Home store chains buy their fixtures in very large quantities and get a huge discount from the manufacturers and distributors, therefore they can pass on some of the savings to you. There are times when the home store prices will be lower than the contractors price at the plumbing supply store.
When I get calls like this, I often recommend to the customer that he/she buy the fixture and supplies for the new installation themselves, they could be saving more money this way. However, if this sounds like a good idea, use caution, make sure your buying the right fixture and the supplies necessary for the new installation. You might want to call the Plumber before buying the fixtures and supplies, just to make sure your not buying the wrong items, or you might just loose your savings by making two or three trips back and forth to and from the Home store.
