Santa Cruz Real Estate Trends

Wednesday Night Sailboat Races are back! We love this Santa Cruz classic, and any excuse to go down to the Santa Cruz Harbor at sunset is alright with us. We can’t wait for many Wednesday evenings to come watching the boats go by as the sun sets. Races are held every Wednesday evening at the Harbor from 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m., April through October.

Adopt a virtual rubber ducky and race in the 31st annual Ducky Derby to raise money for charity! Adopt today, then participate in the virtual race on April 24th for a chance to win locally donated prizes and contribute to local scholarships.

 

 

Cap off the weekend with a visit to the Chaminade Resort & Spa! Settle in at The View for brunch, served 7:00 am -1:30 pm, then stay for the live music performance. The Groovy Judy will be playing groovy rock riffs from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m.

The State of Today’s Lending Standards. | The Mortgage Bankers Association calculates an index several times a year, which represents how easy it is to get a loan.

You are going to LOVE the woodburning stove in this house – and the kitchen – and the garden in the backyard.

 

Honestly, it’s all amazing! This split-level home on the Westside of Santa Cruz is on a quiet tree-lined street. The updated kitchen is so light and bright, with white cabinets and gorgeous marble countertops. The backyard is the perfect entertaining space, with a large deck and pergola begging for an evening of market lights and a perfect sunset. Four bedrooms and three bathrooms mean there’s plenty of room to spread out. The large room downstairs also has a full bathroom, kitchenette, and a separate entrance – perfect for that office, guest room, or rental unit you’ve always wanted!

Rose is amazing “Super professional, very caring, and just a great person to work with. She was very understanding of my situation and hopes/dreams, and executed everything quickly and efficiently to make sure it all came together! Rose and Gina made a great team. Timely with paperwork, would text to make sure I saw emails to sign documents and relayed all my Q&As to appropriate parties. ABSOLUTELY would work with Rose again. 100% stoked on my new place”.
