Looking at February’s absorption rate analysis makes January’s look downright turbulent. Perhaps the market is approaching a state of normalcy. Admittedly, “normal” for the Los Angeles housing market would still give a mechanical bull a run for its money. But our agents have learned to ride those bucks and dips without spilling a drop of […]
All photos: The Sam and Alfreda Maloof Foundation for Arts and Crafts On fertile Rancho Cucamonga ground replete with lemon trees and Mediterranean greenery stands the rustic Sam Maloof house. It may seem unassuming at first. Yet, an artist’s hands built virtually every square inch you see. In fact, it was constructed from the ground […]
