Tita and the twins

Last weekend I went up to Tahoe to visit my daughter who attends college in Incline, NV. We have certainly had our moments over the years but I am finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel! She and I went out to dinner and then she came to our condo while her boyfriend went to a meeting. When he was done he came over too. About 30 minutes after she left my pohne rang. She was in the parking lot and decided to come and spend the ngiht with me so I wouldn’t be lonely. Did I mention she also has 2 chihuahuas which borught with her. Of cousre, my first thought was that she and Josh had had a fight but that wasn’t the case. But she did honestly admit that sometimes it is nice to have teh whole bed just to yourself. A girl after my own heart. And who do you think the dogs slept with? Me, of course.

Saturday both she and Josh stayed with me and the dogs slept with them. So, I got the bed all to myself. Now that takes on a whole new meaning. Sweet dreams. www.sandyvickrey.com

Country property in the Winters Area

Last Saturday I was out in the morning before it got too hot showing country property to a very nice couple from Davis. It was very interesting as Mr. Looker works at UCD in the vet school and works with wildlife. I love learning things from my clients. We talked about his research with bobcats and mountain lions in the Vacaville foothills. On the 20 acre parcel I showed them, we found a bunch of wild turkey feathers that he picked up as he uses them with his research with bobcats. We looked at three different parcels all west of Winters each with its own special view. One parcel is close to Putah Creek, the other is further up Highway 128 towards Lake Berryessa and the third is closer back to town in the Golden Bear Estates area. If you know anyone who is looking for country property in the Winters, CA area there are some really pretty parcels for sale out there as well as ones with homes on them.

Winters, CA Real Estate

New listing

Well, it looks like Buyers are back in the market and buying. There are a lot of good deals out there and Buyers are taking advantage of this market, are you? There is a lot of activity with homes for sale under $300k. I have sold three homes in Winters, CA this month so far. So, if you are a Buyer consider getting yourself approved for a loan. I am hearing that REO lenders and short sale lenders will not look at an offer that is not accompanied with a Loan Approval Letter. I just listed a house at 900 Suffolk Place, Winters, California. It is a an awesome location as it backs up to Dry Creek and has no rear neighbor and a great view of the Vaca mountains. It is listed for $325K so make an appointment to see it. Winters, California is a great place to live and real estate is hot! Call me at 530-681-8939.
