Great Green News!!!, This week’s Go Green Initiative School of the Week, Walnut Grove Elementary School in Pleasanton, became the first solar school in California just last week to go green! Principal Bill Radulovich flipped the switch and turned on the solar energy! Perhaps not surprisingly, it's just the latest step they've taken as the folks at Walnut Grove Elementary School have been transforming their campus from a "gardening, composting, recycling" school to one that's focused on saving energy while helping a school around the world do the same. GO WALNUT GROVE ELEMENTERY, PLEASANTON!!!!

Here’s why: Pleasanton, San Ramon, Dublin, Livermore, Danville, Blackhawk, and Ruby Hill homes will be affected by this new legislation… These cities are in a high cost area. What does this mean to you? If you are thinking of selling or buying a home, now more than ever, is the time to act! This means more activity for entry-level homes in our area priced to a million dollars. ~Gail My Site Question: Can you explain the new "economic stimulus" plan and what it will mean for homeowners? Answer: The stimulus plan - which passed with huge bipartisan support in both the House and the Senate -- will distribute cash to more than 100 million households in an effort to stave off recession. Most importantly in terms of real estate, the stimulus bill will raise both conventional and FHA loans limits for the remainder of 2008. The conventional loan limit will increase from $417,000 to $729,750. The top FHA loan limit within the continental U.S. will go from $362,790 to $729,750. With higher loan limits, buyers will be able to obtain larger loans at lower cost. This should encourage sales in high-cost areas, plus it is hoped that inventories will be reduced and that borrowers with toxic loans will refinance with fixed-rate mortgages.
If you want to know what your house is worth,contact a local Realtor who will research the very latest data to come up with the closest estimated price your home should go on the market for. Realtors do not only use the latest comps, but also takes into account current market activity, supply and demand, and uniqueness of the home. Zillow.com is a free resource on the internet that estimates the value of homes. Unfortunately it will never represent current market value. The data from this web site lags the market by up to six months or more. Zillow.com does not take take into account (or know) if your home has been remodeled. If you rely solely on Zillow.com to price your house, you may give thousands of dollars away. If you rely on zillow.com to tell you how much to offer on a home, you will see it sold to someone else. Today's market in the Tri-Valley area of Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin, San Ramon, and Danville is very fluid and changing daily.
