You Enjoy Breaking the Law, Don’t You?
By Michelle Carr Crowe, Selling Homes in San Jose and Cupertino Schools
The Parking Saga continues. For those of you who missed Part 1, here is the link, You Can't Park Here!
Like most neighborhoods in Santa Clara County some people feel they “own” the parking spaces in front of their homes-especially in the “nicer” neighborhoods of Saratoga, Los Gatos and Willow Glen. They believe it to the tune of leaving nasty notes on the windshield claiming, "You can't park here!"
Then you look around, and you don’t SEE any "No Parking" signs.
Everyone knows you can't park at a red curb, or in front of a driveway, or too close to a fire hydrant.
But when none of those apply and there isn't a “No Parking” sign, it makes sense to park at a gray curb on a residential street, doesn't it?
As a refresher, this happened to my daughter while parked in front of a Los Gatos home.
Now I could understand if they were holding an open house or had guests coming. I'd expect they notify the neighbors and nicely ask them to leave the space open for that particular occasion.
The note cleverly addressed the lack of “No Parking” signs issue by stating, "You are parking illegally. The signs are wrong, you can't park in this space.”
She’s a smart girl. She checked with the DMV, Los Gatos and Santa Clara County websites, and with other people nearby. Yes, it’s okay to park there.
My daughter is one of the most honest, compliant, and perfectionistic people. She truly wants to do everything, and I mean everything, exactly right.
So when she told me that today’s note said, “You Enjoy Breaking the Law, Don’t You?” I burst out laughing.
Tomorrow she’ll put a note of her own on-“I checked and it’s okay to park here, sorry.” Hopefully there won’t be a part 3.

Who in Santa Clara County hasn't received one of those nasty notes on the windshield claiming, "You can't park here!"
Then you look around, and it seems the only "No Parking" sign is somewhere behind you, saying, "No parking to here," which means you are parked legally, right?
We all know you can't park at a red curb, or in front of a driveway, or too close to a fire hydrant.
But when none of those apply and there isn't a no parking sign, it seems logical to park at a gray curb on a residential street, doesn't it?
Surprise! Someone (likely the person whose Los Gatos home you parked in front of) bestowed a note saying, "You are parking illegally. The signs are wrong, you can't park in this space." (Side note, yes someone just did write this to one of my loved ones.)
Sadly, the No Parking topic websites in Santa Clara County, San Jose, Los Gatos and Saratoga were vague, e.g. there were no "must post a No Parking sign every 100 feet" for example. What's a person to do?
Should a person accept an anonymous (of course) note claiming that the appearance of a legal parking space is in fact, an illusion? An illusion that could result in a car being towed away?
Any insight from colleagues in Santa Clara County, especially Los Gatos, Saratoga and San Jose, would be appreciated.

It's the beginning of the year so time for the round-up of last year's distressed property sales in Los Gatos. So here's what happened:
Single family and condo townhomes :
Total sales: 421
Short Sales: 42
REO: 24
Distressed sales as a percentage of total sales: 15.7%
Compare to 2010
Total sales: 489
Short Sales: 36
REO: 38
Distressed sales as a percentage of total sales: 15.1%
My conclusion:
The percentage of distressed properties in Los Gatos is virtually the same between 2011 and 2010. Also a 15% distressed property sale percentage is absolutely probably not enough to affect values. What is interesting is the the number of short sales in 2011 went up as the number of REOs went down from 2010 as banks have been more wiiling to approve short sales.
If you have any questions about short sales or bank owned homes please feel free to contact me.
