It’s why JohnHart chose it as the site of our biggest office yet, the JohnHart Village. A good portion of our staff and […]
When Was the Last Time You Met a Valley Girl? Featured image credit: Warner Bros. Does the term “valley girl” still hold meaning in a post-internet, post-9/11, post-COVID, post-MAGA America?

The summer selling season was winding down in August as kids returned to school and the summer cranked its heat in earnest (a Southern California specialty).

Featured image credit: Afpeach It would be a passably snappy intro to drop a statement like, “There’s only one Broadway”, but it’s not exactly true, is it? Of course, there’s Broadway in Manhattan, a concrete river veritably flowing with theatre. That would be the Broadway that everyone knows. But what about the Broadway in Chennai, […]
July was a bit more predictable than June in the Greater Los Angeles housing market. For one, we sold even more homes, indicative of the summer surge we experience every year at this time as families take advantage of the break from school.
