Tourist attractions

A ghost town is one that as been abandoned because the economic activity that ensured its existence has failed, or due to man-made or natural disasters like war and epidemics. However, there are some ghost towns, which survive only due to tourist activity, like Oatman, Arizona. Still other ghost towns are tourist attractions, especially if some interesting feature of the town, like the architecture is preserved.

Other ghost towns may be overgrown, inaccessible and dangerous or illegal to visit. One such ghost town is Holy City in California. In fact, the whole of California is dotted with such ghost towns. They are not in much demand today due to lack of opportunities, however they serve as a good security. But due to the tourist attraction investing in these ghost towns can be very profitable.

From the Ohlone to Silicon

The Ohlone were the first recorded residents of the Santa Clara Valley, and lived in Coyote Creek and Calaveras Creek, in 8000 BC. The European presence in California began with the arrival of famed English explorer, Sir Francis Drake, on July 17, 1579. Drake claimed the land for England and after his departure it took 200 years for settlers from any other European country to establish themselves. However, California was soon swarming with the Spanish and the Russians.

The county acquired its current name in 1777, when Father Junípero Serra came to California in order to establish a chain of Franciscan missions. He named the valley “Clare” or “Clara” meaning “clear”, and the land extended from present-day Palo Alto to Gilroy. San Jose was California's first town, founded by nine Spanish soldiers, five settlers and one cowboy, on orders from the Spanish viceroy of Mexico on November 29, 1777, and named after St. Joseph.

The Santa Clara Valley, more popularly known as the Silicon Valley, has since grown from the small township it was in 1777, to the massive, industrialised tract of land it is today.

In order to tap growing talent in golf at an early age, the state has encouraged the organisation of an extensive local tour for juniors as well as amateurs, in order to develop the necessary infrastructure.

The tour operates throughout California and Nevada, and some tournaments are held in world -class golf courses like Torrey Pines and Mission Hills, while others are held near small localities like Willow Glen and Los Gatos.

Buying a house?

Buying a house is one of the biggest decisions that one can make in their lifetime. It not only involves a lot of money, but in most cases, also leaves you with a place where you are going to spend a good part of your life. Hence it is important that you don’t rush into any impulsive decision. Remember the fact that you and your family are going to be living in that particular area. Check that places of regular travel such as your child’s school, your work place, departmental stores etc., are not very far. If you are not able to locate such a place, decide if you want to choose a location which is in close proximity to public transport.

Consider your budget properly and decide on the approximate amount of money that you would be willing to spend on the house, keeping in mind your mortgage and other payments. It is better to have at least twenty five percent of the down payments in the bank. Never go in for a house that is beyond your budget. A good real estate agent like Dale Warfel of Keller Williams Realty will be able to guide you. A common mistake that most people make while buying a house is that they decide on a house that merely falls under their affordable range, even though it does not satisfy all their needs.

Make sure that the house is the right size, with the required number of bedrooms and bathrooms. Before you make the final decision, inspect every nook and corner of the property that you are buying. With Dale, you can be sure that you are in safe hands. You can browse through Warfel’s “Dream Home Finder”, as shown on his website.

Call Dale to get the best deals

Real estate dealings are processes that not only involve a lot of legal agreements but also include huge amounts of money. It is obvious that you would want to make maximum profit out of the house which you wish to sell. Here is a list of things that you should keep in mind before selling a house. It is important that buyers become aware that you are putting your property on sale. Hence effective advertising is important to spread the word. Try simple, but effective methods such as giving ads on television, newspapers and other paper attachments.

Billboards and notices also attract a lot of attention. Apart from these, advertising online is another great way to spread awareness. A good real estate agency would be able to guide you. Prepare your house, to make it look attractive to the buyers. Spend a few dollars to get a new coat of paint for your house. Scrub the floors clean and make the entire house look clean, neat and spacious. Also take care to fix minor problems such as squeaking staircases or loose door knobs. The more attractive your house is, the higher is its demand in the market. Consult a good real estate agent like Dale Warfel of Keller Williams Realty to fix the correct rate for your property.

Fixing a price much higher than what its value is can leave your house unsold for ages and fixing a price much lesser than what it deserves to get would result in a loss for you.
