West Hollywood Halloween Costume Carnaval, The Largest Adult Outdoor Halloween Event In The World
The entire week will be filled with special events, costume contests, and, of course, the world-famous costume party on Santa Monica Boulevard Halloween night, October 31st, 2008.
On Halloween night every year, West Hollywood stages perhaps the most extravagant Halloween party anywhere. Santa Monica Boulevard, one of the busies streets in Los Angeles, is converted into a pedestrian only zone between Doheny and La Cienega Boulevards. This one mile stretch of road gets packed by over three hundred thousand partiers each year.
Further details will be posted as they become available.
Home Buyers appear to be coming back to the market in bigger numbers to take advantage of discounted prices.
"Home sales surged 22% in April in Southern California as bargain-hunters bought lower-end homes in areas hardest hit by foreclosures" according to a report by CNN.
Sales of new and resale homes and condos reached 15,615 in April, up from 12,808 in March and the highest monthly total since August, according to DataQuick Information Systems.
This is encouraging news. Prospective Buyers should no longer procrastinate their buying decision, waiting for the market to bottom. If they can afford to purchase now, they should do so.

$15,250, 000 - Another Penthouse in Century City. This condo is advertised as a 3 Bed 4.5 Bath unit measuring over 6000 sq ft.

Finally, $5,500,000 is the Asking Price for a reconfigured 1 Bed 2 Bath Condo in a celebrity filled building in West Hollywood.
HOA dues vary from $1250 to over $8000 per unit per month!
Who said Condos were "starter homes".......?
Davis-Stirling Act - Agents and Buyers are urged to read and make enquiries about an HOA's CC&R's (Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions), Bylaws and Rules & Regulations before removing contingencies in transactions.
The HOA Documents - which are governed by The Davis-Stirling Act, part of the California Civil Code - control how the HOA operates and all information should be discovered BEFORE finalizing the transaction (Examples include restrictions on Pets, Remodeling, Moving-in and Moving-out deposits).
