Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong completes his award winning Piedmont Luxury Home

Thursday, July 8th, 2010 at 2:34pm. 641 Views, 0 Comments.

A while back I was blogging about the Oakland Mansion in Rockridge of Green Day's Billy Joe Armstrong, which was quickly sold for 4.8 million. After viewing it, many I'm sure wondered where he might be moving on to?

Where does one go from an already amazing Rockridge home, in one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in the East Bay?

Well, it turns out that Billy Joe has built a Luxury Home in Piedmont, and not just any home. It actually won top honors for new construction in Piedmont, by the Piedmont Planning Commission's 2010 Design Awards held May 10. When one thinks of Piedmont, stately vintage homes come to mind, not new construction for Rock Stars. Where does one find a lot/tear down to even endeavor such a project? Well, in Billy…

Piedmont High School ranked in top 100 in Nation for 3rd Year in Row.

Thursday, July 8th, 2010 at 2:13pm. 106 Views, 0 Comments.

The U.S. News & World Reports recent rankings of America's best high schools names Piedmont High among the top in the nation for the third year in a row, winning gold medal status. After analyzing 21,000 public schools in collaboration with School Evaluation Services, Piedmont High was ranked among the top 100 in the U.S. at number 73. Honors given to other East Bay schools included Campolindo High in Moraga, Miramonte High in Orinda, and Lionel Wilson College Preparatory Academy in Oakland, to name a few. Nice to see some good news regarding schools and the quality of education here in the Bay Area!

When buying a home in the East Bay, buyers may need to consider what school district they are buying into. Even buyers with no children may benefit from future…

The Oakland Zoo's Walk on the Wild-- A great East Bay event

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010 at 5:27pm. 133 Views, 0 Comments.

Not to miss this month is the Oakland Zoo's Walk on the Wild,
an"epicurean escapade", which is truly one of the best summer events in
the East Bay.
An adults only affair, it's really like one big party where you stroll
the gorgeous grounds of the Oakland Zoo, whilst sampling food and drink from
over 90 Bay Area restaurants, caterers, breweries, wineries and
bakeries. Start with the stroll, don't forget to take the sky ride at
sunset, and finish off with dessert, live music and dancing under the
stars. This is the zoo's largest fundraiser of the year, 18th annual,
and guarantees to be a fabulous time. Cost is $125.00
for members, $150.00 for non- members, patron packages $250-5000, but
what a great way to support our beautiful zoo, and discover and support

Oakland's Greek Festival next Weekend in Lincoln Heights--See you there!

Thursday, May 6th, 2010 at 5:28pm. 247 Views, 2 Comments.

With lots of great events happening here in the East Bay, sometimes it is hard to decide what to attend, and what to pass on until next year.
Well, one event not to miss, is the upcoming Oakland Greek Festival. Taking place at the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Ascension on Lincoln Avenue in the Oakland hills, this fantastic celebration takes place May 14, 15, and 16.  So many great things to enjoy: live music, Greek dancing, imported goods, an incredible view of the Bay Area, and food, food, food. One definite item to indulge in, the Greek sausage. Still thinking about it from last year. And of course, the pastries. Eat some in the kafenion with a Greek coffee, and then grab some pre-wrapped on the steps of the church on your way out. …

A brief explaination of the 2010 California Tax Credit for First Time Buyers and New Home Purchases

Friday, April 23rd, 2010 at 4:41pm. 223 Views, 3 Comments.

2010 California Tax Credit for First Time Buyers and New Home Purchases

California has a new tax credit for New Home and First-Time Buyers who buy a home that closes May 1, 2010 to Jan 1 2001. A more realistic end date is until they run out of the $100 million budget. This might not be very long as the 2009 credit ran out of funds quickly. The credit could stimulate some home purchases in the lower-end Oakland real estate market but I am not sure if it will have much effect on Piedmont homes for sale.
The state credit is slightly different from the $8000 Federal Tax Credit that will expire at the end of this month. The refundable federal credit went directly to the buyer when they filed federal income taxes. The non-refundable California credit will be a…
