IB Pet in Imperial Beach San Diego is the only place I go to for pet supplies including dog and cat food, dog and cat toys, dog beds and everything else for all of my pet needs. I recommend IB Pet because I'm a big fan of customer service and that's what I get at IB Pet. They're located right off of Palm Avenue in Imperial Beach and easy to get to from anywhere in South Bay San Diego including Chula Vista and Coronado Island.

Escondido Renaissance Faire San Diego 2009

Escondido Renaissance Faire San Diego 2009

Escondido Renaissance Faire San Diego 2009 Green Man

Escondido, CA. November 2009

We decided to go checkout the Escondido Renaissance Faire at Felicita Park in Escondido in North County San Diego. The Renaissance village known as "Village of Falconbridge" had an admission price of $16 per adult. I thought it was a little steep for a ticket but after seeing how much it took to put this event together I thought it was well worth the admission price.

Felicita Park itself is covered with large oaks and Sycamore trees and is great outdoor park in San Diego. This event had a true feeling of a Medieval Village complete with knights, Ladies, and everything you would expect. Most people were dressed up in medieval attire and really looked good. There was entertainment, like sword fighting, battles, singing, shoes and lots of other festivities. Lots of merchants and food too.

If you missed it in 2009 make sure you visit the Escondido Renaissance Faire at Felicita Park in 2010.

Some Videos from the event.

La Jolla Birch Aquarium in San Diego

Birch Aquarium at Scripps in San Diego

Birch Aquarium San Diego WhalesSan Diego Real Estate Blog

I've been going to the Birch Aquarium at Scripps in San Diego for years. Recently I decided to take my 1 year old granddaughter there to see the fish. She first saw the huge whale fountain when you walk up from the parking lot towards the aquarium and her face lit up with excitement. What a day we had. She loved it. The Birch Aquarium is located at 2300 Expedition Way, La Jolla, CA 92037 and is very easy to find off of Route 5. The Aquarium is part of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

At the lobby of the aquarium is a large cylinder tank of fish, I believe they were anchovies and they swim in a circle and are really cool to watch. There are many tanks of fish and other sea life and the main aquarium is huge. There is a really neat area in the back of the aquarium where you can touch the sea creatures in the tide pools. If you're looking for a great way to spend the day in San Diego make sure you visit the Birch Aquarium.

Extended First-Time Home Buyer $8,000 Tax Credit

Extended First-Time Home Buyer $8,000 Tax Credit

US Government 2009

The First-Time Home Buyer $8,000 Tax Credit was just extended until April 30, 2010 by the U.S Congress.

It expands the credit to grant up to $6,500 credit to current home owners purchasing a new or existing home between November 7, 2009 and April 30, 2010.

Here is more information about how the Extended Home Buyer Tax Credit can help prospective home buyers become part of the American dream.

Who Qualifies for the Extended Credit?

First-time home buyers who purchase homes between November 7, 2009 and April 30, 2010.

Current home owners purchasing a home between November 7, 2009 and April 30, 2010, who have used the home being sold or vacated as a principal residence for five consecutive years within the last eight.

To qualify as a "first-time home buyer" the purchaser or his/her spouse may not have owned a residence during the three years prior to the purchase.

If you or you have purchased a home between January 1, 2009 and November 6, 2009, please see: 2009 First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit.

Which Properties Are Eligible?

The Extended Home Buyer Tax Credit may be applied to primary residences, including: single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and co-ops.

How Much Is Available?

The maximum allowable credit for first-time home buyers is $8,000.

The maximum allowable credit for current homeowners is $6,500.

How is a Buyer's Credit Amount Determined?

Each home buyer's tax credit is determined by 2 additional factors:

The price of the home.
The buyer's income.

Under the Extended Home Buyer Tax Credit, credit may only be awarded on homes purchased for $800,000 or less.

Buyer Income

Under the Extended Home Buyer Tax Credit, which is effective on November 7, 2009, single buyers with incomes up to $125,000 and married couples with incomes up to $225,000-may receive the maximum tax credit.

These income limits have changed from the 2009 First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit limits. If you or your client purchased a home between January 1, 2009 and November 6, 2009, please see 2009 First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit.

If the Buyer(s)' Income Exceeds These Limits, Can He/She Still Get a Credit?

Yes, some buyers may still be eligible for the credit.

The credit decreases for buyers who earn between $125,000 and $145,000 for single buyers and between $225,000 and $245,000 for home buyers filing jointly. The amount of the tax credit decreases as his/her income approaches the maximum limit. Home buyers earning more than the maximum qualifying income-over $145,000 for singles and over $245,000 for couples are not eligible for the credit.

Can a Buyer Still Qualify If He/She Closes After April 30, 2010?

Under the Extended Home Buyer Tax Credit, as long as a written binding contract to purchase is in effect on April 30, 2010, the purchaser will have until July 1, 2010 to close.

Will the Tax Credit Need to Be Repaid?

No. The buyer does not need to repay the tax credit, if he/she occupies the home for three years or more. However, if the property is sold during this three-year period, the full amount credit will be recouped on the sale.
