Now these are some numbers that look familiar. The housing market has spent a couple of months in the wake of the holidays stretching out of hibernation. But March’s nearly straight run of surges brings us back to very familiar territory. Maybe painfully familiar for buyers. It was a month that saw neighborhoods surging further […]
Are you having deja vu? We’re having deja vu. But it’s understandable; Spanish Colonial Revival architecture is awfully similar to Mission Revival architecture, which we covered in our Los Angeles Architecture 101 series last May. And somewhere, an architect is fantasizing about strangling us for the oversimplification. In our defense, experts will surely agree that […]
All photos: Top Billing Entertainment One could be forgiven for wanting to lapse into song and dance when strolling down the topiary-lined streets of Glendora Village. But despite its splendor, Glendora is far from a Hollywood musical (literally about 35 miles give or take). Yet, there is one hallowed building where you’re not only free […]
As technology-based as our industry can be, it’s no wonder we found a way to hop on the artificial intelligence craze. But could AI feasibly replace flesh-and-blood real estate agents? It’s a question you may want to pose to Luxora. That’s the name Las Vegas’s Luxury Realty Group gave one of its newest recruits: a […]

But these ceilings bear a closer resemblance to cottage cheese… maybe […]
Going nuts is all part of the Las Vegas experience, but one bark scorpion seems to have taken that message literally. It’s a nightmare that, at least until last December, was likely too wild for imagination. A scorpion finding its way into a lofty Vegas Strip resort with a different kind of jackpot in mind. […]
We’re ending JohnHart’s 12 Skills for Exponential Growth in Real Estate series strong with the often misunderstood art, or should we say science, of persuasion. Persuading others is an integral skill that transcends a profession in real estate. And it’s easy to confuse it with influencing, the skill we previously explored in this series. While […]
February’s come and gone and we have to say it wasn’t quite the expected mad dash deeper into seller’s territory. Typically, when we see a nearly unanimous drop toward the buyer’s favor like what we witnessed in January, it’s just the beginning of the slingshot being pulled back. The next month is almost always a […]
Featured image credit: Los Angeles In our ongoing series about LA’s diverse architecture, we’ve focused on clear styles that have been fairly easy to identify through their distinction.
