A Simple Matter of Supply and Demand

From today’s Los Angeles Times, and this is certainly the primary reason behind the high cost of local housing right now. Another more underlying factor, in our experience, is that we see a lot more buyers moving here from other places, namely NYC and the SF bay area.

Believe it or not, our market is “a bargain” compared to theirs.

As frustrating as this is — don’t be frustrated. We can help, and will show you around pockets throughout the Eastside communities that we serve where prices are more attainable for many buyers.

We work on Sundays and also find time to play. The Tracy Do team at Compass woke up extra-early yesterday to run for a terrific cause, the scholarship fund at the Silver Lake Conservatory of Music.

Special mention to Victor and Tracy who finished 1st and 2nd among team members (we’re competitive by nature, okay?)

Here’s the event t-shirt, we’re proud to have our logo featured as a co-sponsor. Rock on SCM!

Sprawl is Bad and Smart People Don’t Like It

lead_large

The Atlantic’s excellent CITYLAB website has a pair of articles that matter to us, as we support sensible urban growth that increases residential density and accessibility in the neighborhoods we serve.

We have seen firsthand that educated young people are moving to urban centers in droves, in fact many of our clients put “walkability” on the very top of their wish list. Which is great for many reasons, one of them being that sprawl is extremely expensive. Oh and it’s horrible for the environment too.

To find your ideal urban dwelling, contact us at tracydo.com.

Off the Grid in Los Feliz

76488_02Our new listing in Los Feliz is sublime in so many ways. Those solar panels you see on the roof are actually quite discreet, you likely won’t even notice them when you’re standing in front of the house. And they provide an electric bill that looks a lot like a goose egg.

Off-the-grid is great, and views are even better. Stretching from the nearby Griffith Park Observatory to the lights of Century City, you’ll get vistas and sunsets from nearly every room in the house.

2400 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms. This is a lot of house! And there are lots of great photos plus many more details. Shown by appointment, contact Tracy Do.
