Greetings from B & A Realtors
"Come for a Day and Stay for a Lifetime..." 

 

Enjoy the Beauty of Autumn!  

 

They astound. They awe. They amuse. They are the leaves of autumn!  Here is a great way to enjoy the leaves as they begin their transition and turn from verdant green to a blazing, beautiful fall palette.

 

 

 

 

 

There's nothing like nature to provide endless ways to enhance our homes, inside and out. The myriad colors and textures of fall leaves can make stunning collages, table arrangements, and other expressions that blend your creativity.

Get in the Holiday Spirit!

Mark your calendar for Thursday afternoon, November 21 from 3 to 5pm and join Walter Howald, World-class Pastry Chef, in the Cribari Auditorium.  He will be demonstrating how to make beautiful creations with chocolate with a special emphasis on flowers...of course, all calories will be left out of the ingredients!

The class will be $10 per person and you will be treated to dessert and coffee and/or tea following the demonstration.
Prices are at the high $200's offerings!

Now is the time to purchase, don't let an opportunity to purchase with low interest rates and lower prices pass you by.   Prices are rising in The Villages so don't wait...today is the BEST day to purchase!  

 

We have Villas and homes currently being offered from the
high $200,000's to $700,000+.  CALL today  (408) 274.8766 for a tour and to find your home in this "hidden gem" in Santa Clara Valley.

Inherited real estate from your Parents?

 Have you inherited real estate from your Parents?     Now, you can't afford the property taxes on the property.    Here is a law which may help...Prop 58.   The law permits a Prop 13 property tax base of a primary residence to be transferred from a parent to a child.  This can make the difference - if you inherited the property within three (3) years of your parents death, file a claim with the County of Santa Clara requesting the application to determine if you can receive your parents Prop 13 property tax base.   

SAFETY TIP
Photoelectric Smoke Alarms will respond quicker to smoke. Please check all your alarms today and add at least one to protect your family.
