Tony & Darcy - The C Team's Blog

This is getting to be addictive.  I haven't even opened the MLS this morning!  Today is day 4 of spending time with family and not really doing a lot of Real Estate.  It is true, that sometimes to move forward, you have to take a step back.  I can't really speak for Darcy, but it has been refreshing to take a short Real Estate break.

Today is another day to spend with family, we are driving from Victorville to Riverside to meet with Darcy's Aunt and her family.  It is going to be fun, we are meeting at the Old Spaghetti Factory for lunch.  It should be good.  I know I hate Italian food.  (Sarcasm intended)  Anyway, I hope that if you are working that you're successful!  If you're taking a break, Have fun!  Be safe and have a great Weekend!

Darcy and I are taking the day off, now that everyone is showered and getting moving.  It is our wedding anniversary and we are planning to just spend the day together, away from Real Estate.  It helps that we are in California with family.  Tonight we are planning on going to dinner, Darcy is surprizing me, so I can't say where, because I don't know.

To those that braved or are braving Black Friday, Good Luck!  I hope that everyone enjoyed a Happy Thanksgiving!  Anyway this is enough time for today on Active Rain.  Have a Great Weekend!

Yesterday, Darcy and I decided to look around at the houses for sale in Victorville, California.  We looked online prior to setting out.  I can say that I wish that I had money to invest!  There were some incredible bargains!  Not all of the houses that we looked out were REO's either, some still are owner occupied.  It was eye opening, having my inlaws living here, we have an idea what the high point was price wise.  To see some of these nice newer homes priced where they are now, makes me realize how lucky we have been so far.

There were so many that looked like great deals, we compared it to a liquidation sale on a store that was going out of business sale.  I feel for the people that have lost their homes.  I just really wanted to say, eventhough this isn't our market, nor even our state, it is a great time to buy!  I don't know what other markets are like here in California, but in Victorville, it sure appears to me an outsider, that it is wonderful time to buy or move up!  Anyway, have a great day! 

California, here we are!  We drove most of the night, and made it safely to Darcy's parents house.  It is always a good thing to spend time with family.  I comes down to priorities.  Making money is always a priority, especially with the market being what it is.  There just are some things that are more important.

It was a good uneventful drive at least after we got through Las Vegas.  I just don't understand narrowing Interstate 15 south bound to 1 lane for construction, especially on a week like Thanksgiving which is typically the busiest travel week of the year.  I hope that it was so that they could get it open for today's traffic!  Anyway, I am not really complaining, just wondering.

I really enjoy spending time with family, and realizing why we do what we do!  Again have a safe Thanksgiving and enjoy yourselves!

Darcy and I are getting ready to go to her parents house in Victorville, California.  We will be leaving tonight, so there is much to be done.  The packing, cleaning and getting things ready to go.  In all, we are looking forward to this.  Darcy will be much happier to be on our way.  She over stresses trips.  This is just a blog to wish everyone a safe trip if you do have to travel and Have a Great Thanksgiving!
