Real Estate Market Watch
Despite a tough economic market, Beverly Hills real estate still is attracting buyers. There has been a decline it property value, but that seem to be attracting buyers that have been waiting on the sidelines. Example in point a home at 333 South Roxbury Drive was listed for $2,495,000. The seller relocating out of state needed a quick sale as homes are taking on average more than 90 days to sell. After being reduced to $2,195,000 just 30 days on the market the home received 3 offers with more to follow. Multiple offers tells me that there is still a demand for Beverly Hills real estate. As history has showed BEVERLY HILLS is a unique market that over time have always maintained its value. This is the best time to be buying real estate as there seems to be a sale going on. So if you want to get into the market this is the time.

B for Betsy has identified a need in the marketplace for high-end, fashion-forward team-wear for women. Now women who want to show their team spirit, can to do it in a classy, stylish way.
Founder and CEO Betsy Hoyt Stephens started her company more than three years ago out of her garage in Pasadena, hand-making belts with suede, leather and Swarovski crystals.

In 1993 she made a purple suede and Swarovski crystal belt to wear to a Lakers play-off series game. It attracted such attention that the owners of the Phoenix Suns asked her to make similar belts to give to their owner’s wives and player’s wives as Christmas gifts. Again, the belts were as much a hit in Phoenix as they were in Los Angeles.

The media frenzy surrounding the swine flu has sent people into mass hysteria. Sales of facemasks are ramping up, and antibacterial cleansers are flying off grocery store shelves in record numbers. But the fact is, it's difficult—if not impossible—to get an accurate handle on the real impact of the swine flu.
The news media is reporting skyrocketing cases in Mexico, but the figures are unreliable—and the number of laboratory-confirmed cases is small in comparison to suspected cases. As of today (April 30, 2009), there has only been one reported death in the U.S.—a toddler from Mexico in Texas.
Even in these changing times, people need to come together for a common cause. Children and their education can build a real sense of community. That is what is happening at El Rodeo Elementary School in Beverly Hills as El Rodeo gets green and clean.
