    Why Everyone Loves Alameda

    BySusie Wyshak February 10, 2026March 5, 2026

    Alameda is the Bay Area’s coastal living town that’s close to San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, and Silicon Valley.  Alameda may be the most coveted East Bay city. Most of my San Francisco clients mention Alameda as their #1 place to buy a home. Many of these home buyers weren’t sure where they wanted to live when…

    How does home flood insurance work in California?

    BySusie Wyshak October 4, 2023February 16, 2026

    Do you fully understand the importance of being prepared for flooding in their homes…or outside of your home? The California Association of Realtors points out that homeowner’s insurance does not cover flood damage. After the record-breaking wildfires in California, the risk of flash flooding and mud flows increase significantly until vegetation is restored — up…

The college-priced sushi dream is alive at @manpuk The college-priced sushi dream is alive at @manpukuberkeley - so much fun reading public notices in the @eastbayexpress (what no  personals?!)

Just today, I was thinking that low riders would be a great high school or community college class where the class converts an old junker into a low rider. There are untold lessons to be learned!

King Ranch Farms and all the other vendors here at King Ranch Farms and all the other vendors here at the market today are bursting with specialty fall produce - ready for a mixed roast with new harvest California OVOO. 

Gotta say I was proud that I knew those were cipollini onions that I am very sure I spelled incorrectly! The honey nut squash look perfect with brown sugar and pecans. 🍁
It's hard to choose which of the many full festivi It's hard to choose which of the many full festivities are going on this Sunday, starting with the Gilmore Girls event in Danville. 

Most communities around the East Bay are hosting Fall / Halloween events today. 

Here are a few that caught my eye...what's caught yours?

The @oaklandmuseumca annual Day of the Dead  festival is like a trip to Mexico. Dancing, crafts, altar  building, food, and exhibits are just a few of the soulful event's activities to help us honor our loved ones.

@rockridgeoakland rolls out the orange carpet for its annual Halloween parade, which is always a riot of costumes and characters roving the streets and gathering candy from the local merchants. It's a perfect day for a parade!

@reapclimatecenter is a very cool place to learn about the environment, and today get interactive with bees and honey!

The @ucbgarden invites "kids of all ages"'on this Animal Day. It's the perfect excuse to wear your favorite animal costume and get close to snakes and other critters (as well as rove the beautiful gardens, like a trip around the world).
Lovely day for an open house! 5215 Fleming, Oakl Lovely day for an open house!

These employees at the new @lakemerrittgroceryoutl These employees at the new @lakemerrittgroceryoutlet had no idea they would be wiping rain off of carts on the grand opening day! Spirits are high, and I am coming back after excitement has subsided. This store is going to do so well here. 

I spoke with several customers who are living on Social Security, who were excited having access to more food in the neighborhood.

Rockridge home owners tend to invest in high-end kitchen remodels which reflect the average home prices of over $1.5 million here in our neighborhood.

But after checking prices with local contractors for a "traditional" kitchen remodel, this couple decided to assemble an Ikea kitchen on their own with some help from a contractor for gutting, plumbers and an electrician, and a company that fabricated the countertop after they had assembled the Ikea cabinets (while watching TV).

The creative use of upcycled street signs for back splashes was a big hit among everyone who passed through on the Rockridge Kitchen Tour.

As a fan of stick figure iconography, I loved them!

The biggest investment for the kitchen remodel was the "servery" folding window that opens up to the patio. It opens on a rail instead of some folding windows that have a large lip at the bottom. So the maximum amount of space and light is exposed. They said the window was an $8,000 investment (and worth every penny...remember pennies?)

Got questions about real estate, kitchen remodeling to sell, investing outside of California or home ownership? Just ask.
