San Francisco is home of the famous Golden Gate Bridge and a healthy 2013 real estate market!

If you have been following my blog, you have seen me mention Trulia and Trulia.com. It’s a great real estate resource. In keeping with my recent theme of sharing what experts are predicting for the new year in real estate, I found an article by Jed Kolko, the Chief Economist of Trulia.

In his article, Kolko highlights his opinion of the ten healthiest housing markets for 2013. He cites Houston, Texas as the owner of the number one spot. In the number two spot is northern California’s San Francisco!

You can read Kolko’s article in its entirety on the Huffington Post website at the link below.

Remember when gas prices were this low? One day we’ll be saying that about house prices.

Now that we are just days away from the new year, I feel it is time for some reflection and some predictions. The real estate market seemed to be ever changing throughout 2012. Although there are no guarantees of what the new year will bring, according to a CNBC.com article I found on Yahoo! Homes, you can expect prices to rise. Perhaps as much as five to seven percent from 2012. That is quite a jump!

If you have been following this blog, you have heard me reiterate time and time again that the current market status is temporary. If you want to get the most for your dollar, it is recommended that you buy as soon as you can. We have already seen prices rise in 2012. It is expected that they will continue on upward, as predicted in the article at the link below.

Yahoo! Homes and CNBC.com predicts higher home prices for 2013.

When you are ready to buy, whether now or in the future, you will of course need financing. If traditional banks are unable to help you with your real estate needs, consider a trust deed loan from San Diego based, Source Capital Funding, Inc.

Rock stars need a place to call home too.

Have you seen those sections of entertainment magazines that include photos of celebrities buying groceries, taking their kids to school and walking their dogs with statements confirming that they are just like us? Well, here’s another item to add to the list of how celebrities are like us non-celebrities. They buy and sell homes too!

Because of how they are portrayed in the media, sometimes we forget that celebrities are going through every day life happenings, similar to our experiences. Some mundane, some joyous and some stressful. Often their every move is recorded and magnified, which can make celebrities seem almost non-human, or at least super human. In reality, they are people. People that have chosen careers that can cause them and their life choices to be highly publicized.

Below is  a link to an article highlighting what singer Rihanna, actress Jennifer Love Hewitt and photographer Annie Leibovitz are doing in the world of real estate right now.
