Reba Vanderpool is an interior designer who wondered what her role would be in the post 9/11 world. Discovering the answer to that question has proven to be an interesting and incredible journey … in fact, almost unbelievable.
Following her intuition and answers that came during meditation and journaling has led to many synchronicities that have developed into businesses that she would never have dreamed for herself. Yet, almost magically, they are perfect for her, and are leading to even greater opportunities.
Reba is an advocate of letting go of trying to control your life, and instead, asking how we can be of service. If we are brave enough to follow whatever is presented when we ask that question, the sky is the limit and work is no longer … well work! It is our passion. Reba’s advice: When the universe calls, say YES!
Come hear Reba explain how her life has dramatically changed by trusting the universe. She’s beautiful inside and out – you won’t want to miss her amazing story in words and pictures.

San Mateo Real Estate In July
Six months’ inventory is the differentiation between a buyers’ and sellers’ market. Looking at July, Hillsborough, LaHonda, Portola Valley, and Woodside are the only four cities in the county reaching that.
Redwood City’s First-Time Buyers
I’ve been working with first-time buyers in Redwood City. The city as a whole has a relatively small amount of inventory; the first-time buyers are fighting investors for those houses. A recent sale on Marlborough priced at 299k – definitely designed to get multiple offers – received 12 last time I checked; probably more!
A house on MacArthur also priced to generate multiple offers ended up receiving nine offers. Surely it was an investor who won out on that house – they paid all cash to win it.

Absorption Rates
The absorption rate is a quick way to see if the number of homes for sale in San Mateo County is going up or down. It’s just one of the statistics used to evaluate pricing.
What you’re looking at is how many months’ inventory there is on the market. The assumption is that it will take X number of months for all of the houses currently on the market to sell. More inventory = longer to sell.
You can also see if the area is a buyer or a sellers’ market. The National Association of Realtors defines a balanced market as one is which there is 6 months of inventory. More than 6 months, it’s a buyers’ market; less is a sellers’ market.
