Rare 1-story 4+4 Calabasas home on 2+acres in guard-gated community

2009-11-09T22:40:30Z

Contact Shelly Slovin at 818-887-3107 or go to . Note from Shelly: Calabasas is known for large lots and for guard-gated communities, however these two things are not often found in the same property. Lot size is usually sacrificed in the gated communities, and Calabasas homes with large lots are mostly found out in the "country" and custom built with varying degrees of skill and taste. This home has it all! Located in the prestigious Mont Calabasas guard-gated community, this incredible lot has a beautiful spa and pool, spacious lawns, a barbecue center, patio, and a shaded pool-side retreat. Must see.

Don't Pay for Property Tax Reviews

2009-10-21T22:20:42Z

Today's mail brought another official-looking letter from an entity called Homeowners Property Tax Board. The letter tells me it's likely that I can save over $1000/annually on property taxes if I send them $189. It bears repeating: Never pay to have your property tax assessment reviewed.

These companies are not the local tax assessor.
Although the letter looks like property tax bills, the senders are not affililiated with or approved by any government agency (read the fine print).
The county tax assessor will reassess value at no charge to you.

I have provided comps for my clients who have applied for a "Decline-in-Value Reassessment Review" through the Los Angeles County Tax Assessor's office. Your agent can do the same for you. Go to the LA tax assesor's site to find out:

if you qualify (we don't),
if the city has already reviewed your property for a reduction, and,
ahow to apply for a review if you think you do qualify.

Southern California home sales inch up; median price steady October 13, 2009. Dataquick reported today that Southland home sales inched higher in September, boosted by late-closing summer sales, low mortgage rates and buyers hoping to get the federal tax credit that expires next month.

Last month 21,539 new and resale houses and condos sold in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, Ventura, San Bernardino and Orange counties. That was up 0.2 percent from 21,502 in August and up 5.1 percent from 20,497 a year earlier, according to MDA DataQuick of San Diego. September marked the 15th moninth in a row with a year-over-year sales gain, although last month's was the smallest of those increases. Sales for the month of September have averaged 24,873, ranging from a low of 12,455 in September 2007 to a high of 37,771 in 2003, based on DataQuick's statistics, which go back to 1988. Last month's sales were the highest for a September since 2006, when 24,195 sold. From Dataquick
