Encino, CA

Last week, we had the great pleasure of staging another beautiful home in Encino for my favorite builder. We moved the furniture and our accessories from a different Encino home we had staged for him which sold. I love working with this builder because the quality of construction is excellent, his attention to detail is amazing and his homes are always so well designed.



Both houses are similar in style, and while the square footage of each house was different, we staged the same number of rooms (except for one bedroom, a wine cellar and media room). The furniture fit in the new house perfectly.

For more information about this beautiful Montecito Spanish style pool home South of the Boulevard in Encino, contact the Listing Agent, Kevin Driscoll (818)398-0797.

Times are tough for many people. Job losses are at their highest since the end of WWII, retailers are going out of business left and right, and the average American family is lucky if they can afford health insurance. But for those of you who are fortunate enough to remain relatively unscathed, now is one of the best times in decades to purchase a home.

First of all, thanks to the FED 's attempts at stimulating the economy, interest rates have been on a steady decline. While lenders have definitely tightened their guidelines, for those with good credit, it's not unheard of to lock in a 30-year fixed rate in the 5 percent range. The cost of borrowing money right now is better than ever, and an excellent time to upgrade.

Second, because there has been such a slowdown in home purchases coupled, with the unfortunate rise in foreclosures, there is an abundance of inventory. Home values have come way down in some areas and many people are relieved to be able to jut sell their home, regardless of profit. For buyers in the market right now, this means there are lots of deals to be discovered.

If you have been tossing around the idea of a new home, but are still unsure of the timing, I have been in the business for more than 30 years and have the experience to help you make your decision. My name is Carol Wolfe and nobody does it better.

Many of us have made the resolution to lead a healthier lifestyle in 2009 and there is no better place to do that than in the year-round gorgeous climate that we offer here in Encino, California. And while most people typically join a gym, there are numerous options here that allow residents to venture outside for their exercise needs.

One growing trend among fitness circles is the "boot camp," such as Backyard Boot Camp and Valley Boot Camp. Instead of heading to the same gym, staring at the same television, while climbing the same imaginary stairs, sign up for one of these courses and let a variety of activities, with nature as your backdrop, be your inspiration. There's nothing quite like climbing a real mountain to get your heart rate up and the pounds down!

And don't forget about about our miles of trails at the Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area. With over 2,000 acres, this gorgeous outdoor wonderland is sure to have something for you to help get back in shape. There are biking and hiking trails, tennis courts, a Sports Center, three 18-hole golf courses and numerous other activities sure to get you out of the house and on the way to a healthier you!

While this Chinese method of organizing or balancing energy has been around for at least 3,000 years, it remains misunderstood or dismissed by many as a mystic or metaphysical belief that holds little to no value whatsoever. But it's hard to believe that a wisdom that's been practiced for so long and has so many avid followers could be completely without merit, which is why a brief explanation might illuminate some of its benefits.

At its root, feng means "wind" and shui means "water" (pronounced fung-shway) and is symbolic of its close ties with nature. Good "wind" and "water" meant a good harvest, or in today's terms, good fortune. Practitioners use scientific calculations, a special compass, astronomy, and the Five Elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, and water) to determine how best to arrange a home to maximize the good energy.

Using the elements in their proper places, with their proper colors and making sure that objects such as mirrors, lights and furniture are in the right position, according to some, can bring everything from wealth to love into your life by allowing good energy to flow. These days, some people hire feng shui experts before a home is even purchased to make sure that there are no major misplaced elements of the prospective residence like a fireplace or stairs.

No matter what your beliefs, it is my privilege to help you find a home you feel comfortable in. My name is Carol Wolfe and nobody does it better.
