I enjoyed seeing so many of you at our Office Open House this past Sun., Aug. 7th .
When you are in the neighborhood, please give me a call to say “hello”. I am happy to show you the beautiful location, technology and teaching resources at my new Keller Williams office! I’m at 20230 Stevens Creek, Suite #E, Cupertino (right across from the fire station at Torre/Vista, between Blaney & De Anza). My number is still the same, so you can Just Call 408-252-8900!
I enjoy sharing resources and helping people improve their lives. Most of the time my consulting skills and knowledge are applied to real estate needs, other times I feel God wants to use me to help someone because it’s just the right thing to do for that person at that time.
Here is what I learned and/or blogged about this week:

Vote in the next 30 minutes, by Midnight 2/28 to Support Cupertino High kids for SuperProm! Proceeds to fund Kenya Dream school
Support Cupertino High kids for Dell Computer's SuperProm contest! Contest ends soon, so vote in the next 30 minutes, by Midnight 2/28! Proceeds to fund Kenya Dream school.
Support Cupertino High kids for SuperProm! Proceeds to fund Kenya Dream school
If you think today's students are completely self-centered, check out this video and vote by midnight on Feb. 28. Dell Computer is holding a contest with the most deserving school receiving a $100,000 prom.
However, check out what the students of Cupertino High plan to do with the money if they win - help a school in Kenya upgrade their facilities!
Cupertino is an overall wealthy area. The parents, teachers and community should be very proud that a class of students would forego a fabulous prom to help improve facilities at a school on a different continent-a goal the class of 2010 has had for 4 years.
IT IS TIME TO VOTE. It doesn't matter what school you or your children go to, PLEASE vote for Cupertino in this. This senior class has raised funds all 4 years to support their goal of helping deserve it. http://delllounge.com/superprom/justinjieli/default.aspx
In the Cupertino High students' words...
In high school, it is the norm for classes to fundraise for both junior and senior prom. However, Cupertino High School's Class of 2010 wanted to do something different. Instead of spending our time raising money for prom, we wanted to use that money to make a difference in the world. In our freshmen year, over 90% of our class signed a petition to give 100% of our fundraising to help Nthimbiri Secondary School in Kenya upgrade their school facilities. We called this project Kenya Dream.
By winning SuperProm not only will our class have a prom like every other school, but in addition we will be able to gain media attention for Kenya Dream so we can complete our goal of raising $100,000 by June of 2010 and make a difference in the world.
Together we can turn this dream into a reality...

How Martin Luther King Jr. Can Help Silicon Valley Buyers Negotiate (and GET!) a Great Home Value
How Martin Luther King Jr. Can Help Silicon Valley Buyers Negotiate (and GET!) a Great Home Value
By Michelle C. Carr-Crowe, ABR, ALHS, ASP, CDPE, PME, RECS, SRES
Did you know Martin Luther King Jr. can help Silicon Valley buyers negotiate (and GET!) a great home value in 2010? With the three-day weekend to honor the civil rights hero, Santa Clara County buyers are getting an opportunity to get ahead as well. It’s estimated about 30 percent of the population in Santa Clara County leaves the immediate Valley during most three-day holiday weekends.
Even in this fiscally conservative environment, people still plan to visit friends or relatives, as well as get away to the snow, campgrounds, beaches, theme parks and pre-paid timeshares. What does this mean for the Buyers who stay in town?
Do You Qualify for the New First-Time Home Buyer or Existing Home Buyer Tax Credit?
First and foremost is OPPORTUNITY due to temporarily reduced competition among buyers! Especially in the more competitive market segments, such as under $1,000,000 for single-family San Jose homes in Lynbrook High, under $600,000 for detached homes in Willow Glen or under $400,000 for almost any single-family investment property throughout Santa Clara County, including Sunnyvale, Milpitas and Morgan Hill.
Or even see and buy a home such as our Warm and Welcoming Westwood Oaks Beauty with Cupertino High that's open on Saturday and Sunday - before it even goes on the Multiple Listing Service! How's that for a great opportunity?
Opportunity Knocks! Buy Now Before Home Hits MLS!
Essentially this three-day holiday weekend effectively removes about one-third of your potential competition. Those on holiday are likely "taking a full mental break" and also unplugging from the phone and Internet. (Some may just be traveling to areas where Internet and phone service is poor or intermittent.)
Don’t underestimate the competitors still here. The flip side is those who remain in town during a holiday weekend are the most committed and/or motivated to buy in the near future.
Second, Sellers and Agents holding open house this weekend are committed to selling. It means the Sellers and their Representatives also gave up a three-day weekend to achieve the goal of selling that home.
Thirdly, a three-day weekend gives you as a buyer that extra third "weekend" day. You have more time to review and fully process the data, disclosures and reports provided, perhaps re-visit the home(s), sleep on the decision Sunday night and go over the pros and cons and think things through one more time without immediately rushing back into your usual work and school routine.
And with the current limited-time government tax incentives for first-time and existing buyers, home buying is definitely worth a careful look.
Last, for Buyers who are truly prepared (pre-approval letter already on file, clear goals and a defined plan), it's a chance to leap ahead by making an offer while others are relaxing.
As in Aesop's Fable, this is that window of time when the turtle can sneak ahead of the hare. In wise Aesop’s morality tale, the hare had run so far ahead of the turtle that he relaxed and stopped to take a nap. While the confident hare slept, the perseverant turtle crept ahead and reached the finish line first.
The moral of the story is a three-day weekend allows the “slow but steady” Silicon Valley home buyer a chance to get ahead of the competition and win the real estate race by completing a contract while competitors are “asleep” to the opportunity. If you're pre-approved, prepared and know precisely what you want to buy-and see it available this weekend, this may be your big chance to hop ahead of the competition and secure a great home buy in 2010.

Did you know Martin Luther King Jr. can help Silicon Valley buyers negotiate (and GET!) a great home value in 2010? With the three-day weekend to honor the civil rights hero, Santa Clara County buyers are getting an opportunity to get ahead as well. It’s estimated about 30 percent of the population in Santa Clara County leaves the immediate Valley during most three-day holiday weekends.
Even in this fiscally conservative environment, people still plan to visit friends or relatives, as well as get away to the snow, campgrounds, beaches, theme parks and pre-paid timeshares. What does this mean for the Buyers who stay in town?
Do You Qualify for the New First-Time Home Buyer or Existing Home Buyer Tax Credit?First and foremost is OPPORTUNITY due to temporarily reduced competition among buyers! Especially in the more competitive market segments, such as under $1,000,000 for single-family San Jose homes in Lynbrook High, under $600,000 for detached homes in Willow Glen or under $400,000 for almost any single-family investment property throughout Santa Clara County, including Sunnyvale, Milpitas and Morgan Hill.
Or even see and buy a home such as our Warm and Welcoming Westwood Oaks Beauty with Cupertino High that's open on Saturday and Sunday - before it even goes on the Multiple Listing Service! How's that for a great opportunity?
Opportunity Knocks! Buy Now Before Home Hits MLS!
Essentially this three-day holiday weekend effectively removes about one-third of your potential competition. Those on holiday are likely "taking a full mental break" and also unplugging from the phone and Internet. (Some may just be traveling to areas where Internet and phone service is poor or intermittent.)
Don’t underestimate the competitors still here. The flip side is those who remain in town during a holiday weekend are the most committed and/or motivated to buy in the near future.
Second, Sellers and Agents holding open house this weekend are committed to selling. It means the Sellers and their Representatives also gave up a three-day weekend to achieve the goal of selling that home.
Thirdly, a three-day weekend gives you as a buyer that extra third "weekend" day. You have more time to review and fully process the data, disclosures and reports provided, perhaps re-visit the home(s), sleep on the decision Sunday night and go over the pros and cons and think things through one more time without immediately rushing back into your usual work and school routine.
And with the current limited-time government tax incentives for first-time and existing buyers, home buying is definitely worth a careful look.
Last, for Buyers who are truly prepared (pre-approval letter already on file, clear goals and a defined plan), it's a chance to leap ahead by making an offer while others are relaxing.

Calif. Gov. Schwarzenegger proposes extension, expansion of $10,000 home buyer tax credits
Calif. Gov. Schwarzenegger proposes extension, expansion of $10,000 home buyer tax credits
By Michelle C. Carr-Crowe
Did you miss it? Amongst the numerous proposals for 2010 in Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s State of the State address today one stood out to benefit buyers of both new and existing homes in 2010.
During his State of the State address, Governor Schwarzenegger included in his proposals a recommendation to set aside $200 million for a new round of $10,000 state tax credits for first-time home buyers.
If passed, it increases housing affordability for first-time home buyers throughout Santa Clara County, from Morgan Hill and San Jose to Los Gatos and Saratoga, including Palo Alto and Los Altos to Cupertino and Santa Clara.
The Governor’s new proposal expands upon the initial $10,000 state tax credit by including both new and existing homes.
The 2009 tax credit from last year applied only to buyers of newly constructed homes.

It’s Raining Blogs…I Mean Meteors…Catch God’s Big Show at 1:00 am, Nov. 17 & 18
By Michelle C. Carr-Crowe
Tonight and tomorrow night, God and nature are putting on a free show, the Leonid meteor shower. Like me, try to take a nap during the day so you can stay up to see the fun.
Created by Comet Tempel-Tuttle, the Leonids are an annual event, usually seen in late fall. (Note: Some earlier Internet postings incorrectly attributed it to the Comet Swift-Tuttle.) Each time the Leonid meteor shower passes through the inner solar system it sprinkles debris, (mostly ice and rock), varying in size from as large as a standard marble to as small as a grain of sand.
"We're predicting 20 to 30 meteors per hour over the Americas, and as many as 200 to 300 per hour over Asia," said Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office.
According to experts like Cooke, the best time to watch will be from 1:00 am PST through dawn each day. The good news is this year it occurs close to the New Moon phase, enhancing visibility.
Meteor showers are named by the constellation from which meteors appear to fall, a spot in the sky astronomers call the radiant; for example, the Perseid meteor shower’s origin appears to be located near the Perseus constellation, the Leonid’s near Leo (aka the Lion).
This year’s Leonids are reputed to be especially interesting due to its various colored hues, ranging from the usual white or silver to aquamarine or blue.
Tips for viewing:
1) Take at least a 1 hour nap during the day.
2) Go to the bathroom before you leave for your stargazing destination.
3) Find a safe, dark place to watch, one not subject to an onslaught of headlights.
4) Dress warmly with several layers, as well as gloves, hat and overcoat.
5) Bring a bottle of water, and a thermos of hot chocolate, coffee, tea or soup, plus a small snack.
6) Bring a blanket (preferably with a waterproof layer on one side to put on the ground) or a comfy reclining camp chair, PLUS a blanket to snuggle under.
7) Sit or lay back and relax your eyes to maximize your peripheral vision.
8) ENJOY!
For maximum enjoyment, allow at least one hours for viewing; the first 15 minutes will be spent acclimating your eyes to the darkness, then give yourself at least 30 minutes to view. If meteors are falling at 20 per hour, that’s about 1 every 3 minutes; at 30 per hour, that’s 1 every 2 minutes. Assuming you may miss about 20 percent due to looking in the wrong direction or closing your eyes, that means you may see as few as 8 or as many as 15 in 30 minutes.

Savings for Cupertino Seniors-the Tax Credit for Move-DOWN Cupertino Buyers
Savings for Cupertino Seniors-the Tax Credit for Move-DOWN Cupertino Buyers
By Michelle C. Carr-Crowe
Lost in the hoopla about extending and expanding the “up to” $8,000 credit for new homebuyers is the credit for existing homeowners. In my opinion, this can be “Senior Salvation” - a tax credit for move-DOWN Cupertino sellers and buyers.
I called my broker, my local real estate board, the California Association of REALTORS®, and even the IRS to ask my question: does this credit apply for move-down buyers?
So far the answer is, “As long as they qualify and have a tax to apply the credit to, it looks like YES.”
To summarize:
1. A first time homebuyer is one that has not owned a home for at least three years.
2. A repeat homebuyer must have owned their current home for at least five consecutive years out of the last eight years.
3. The maximum purchase price for the new home is $800,000.
4. If single, your earning maximum to qualify is $125,000; if married, it’s up to $250,000.
5. There's no gap between the prior deadline (November 30th) and the new credit period, which ends April 30th.
6. While you must be in a contract to purchase your new home on or before April 30th, you have until June 30th to close the transaction.
7. To prove you qualify, you'll need to attach proof of purchase to your tax return (most likely a HUD-1 or final closing statement).
Caveat: please, please check with your tax professional and attorney before making any real estate commitments.
However, this may finally be a tax credit that helps seniors who’ve lived in their homes for more than five consecutive years of the past eight.
For example, a senior couple selling a $2 million dollar single family home in Cupertino Monta Vista they’ve owned for the past 8 years, then buying a new single-level 2 bedroom condo in San Jose for $650,000 not only get to keep their $500,000 tax-free capital gains benefit and transfer their tax basis, they can also now use up to $6,500 as a tax credit.
And as the capital gains $500,000 tax-free credit is set to EXPIRE as of December 31, 2010, now is a huge window of opportunity for seniors seeking to maximize their benefits.

The Best $2 Show I've Ever Seen-Cupertino's Debut Choir Concert
The Best $2 Show I've Ever Seen-Cupertino's Debut Choir Concert
By Michelle C. Carr-Crowe
When I was younger and low on cash and seeking inexpensive entertainment, I remember people suggested seeing high school games, musicals or performances as a reasonable option to higher-priced professional events. Current economic times are causing me and others to get back to basics and re-visit this money-saving habit.
So when my daughter invited me to see Cupertino High School's Debut Choir Concert tonight, I said yes. I was even more thrilled once I heard the price!
Tonight I enjoyed a fabulous show featuring talent, poise and professionalism produced by the students at Cupertino High School-and it only cost $2! I have to compliment the students' director Andrew Aron for his good-natured but firm and no-nonsense direction-to the audience to actually shut OFF their cell phones, behave appropriately (no "shout-outs") and remove loud talkers from the auditorium.
Each of the four groups (Cantabile, Chorale, Cantos and Capella) performed a selection of classical, touching and at least one crowd-pleasing number. Cupertino High also boasts the only male choir in all of the Fremont High School District. Especially notable were Justin Li's cello and guitar features and Cody Scott's solo.
Cupertino High School Debut Choir ConcertStarting in Latin ("Music Spread Thy Voice Around" by Handel), bouncing through "Lydia, The Tattoed Lady," hypnotizing with "The Seal Lullaby" and culminating with the Grand Chorus' uplifting rendition of Moses Hogan's, "I'll Make a Difference," the students demonstrated skill in technique, affection for their director and "the world's greatest accompanist" Dr. Valerie Stark, and love of music. It was a celebration of joy in music.
Grand Finale of Cupertino High School Choir ConcertNext time you're looking for reasonably-priced yet real entertainment, I recommend you look at your local middle and high school sports, band and music programs. You may be pleasantly surprised. As advertised, you could "see your students and friends in a new light."

Treats Not Tricks - Grandma Judy's Tips for a Fun & Safe Halloween in Lynbrook
Treats Not Tricks - Grandma Judy's Tips for a Fun & Safe Halloween in Lynbrook
Grandma Judy's Rules for Halloween—Making sure You Get Treats not Tricks
My mother Judy Carr, like most children, LOVED Halloween. Most parents like me endure it. Combining an abundance of sugar-rush-inducing candy, the exuberant freedom from inhibitions due to make-believe and costumes and the often opposing ideas of "Halloween fun" between younger and older children can result in a disappointing feeling of being tricked when you expected treats.
Grandma Judy had the usual rules: walk, don't run; have at least 1 partner; only go to houses you know (or at least ones that are well-lit); don't touch the pumpkins or displays; don't eat any candy you received along the way, and listen to your chaperone. Also, keep in mind the potential for rain, and plan accordingly. There’s nothing worse than wet shoes, a torn costume or a hard fall to spook youngsters and spoil the fun.
Grandma Judy's Tips for Halloween
1) Wear the right shoes! Maybe rain boots don't look right with Ariel's tail but they can help keep little ones from getting wet feet and catching cold.
2) Wear a turtleneck and leggings or thermal shirt and long-johns under costumes. Most commercially-made costumes are made of thin polyester or nylon. It's easy for children's body temperature to dramatically drop when they get cold. Even if you realize it right away, it's still a long trek back home with you looking like a ghoul, dragging along an uncooperative or sobbing child.
3) Make glow sticks and snap-together glow tubes part of the fun. We distribute a few glow sticks to each child – a necklace with one glow stick hanging in the back and one in the front at a minimum. The best way to make it fun for children is to incorporate them into the costume’s design – such as weaving it around the princess crown, making it into “jewelry” or attaching them to the costume or treat container.
4) Use reflective tape in costume and container design. Reflective tape wound around the pirate sword and pieces cut into the shapes of eyes, ears and mouth for the plastic pumpkin help a child be seen. Even better is to streamline – tape along the sides of legs and the arms of children. Or make a design on their backs – spell out BOO, for example.
5) Make a stopwatch part of the fun. If the total time allotted is 1 hour for trick-or-treating, the leader (adult or teenager in charge), sets it first for 30 minutes, then 20, then 10, then 5, then 3 then 1.
6) Plan out and map route in advance, leave it with the adult at home and stick to it. That way if someone does get hurt or lost, the parents know right where to go.
7) Bring at least 2 flashlights, 2 cells phones and 2 watches. Someone always ends up with a dead battery at the worst time, so doubling up is a good idea.
8) Bring along at least 3 pieces of your OWN candy so you can safely snack along the way. Have a safe & fun Halloween!

Cupertino Area High Schools Increase Already High API scores
Cupertino Area High Schools Increase Already High API scores
By Michelle C. Carr-Crowe, ABR, ALHS, CDPE, RECS, SRES
San Jose, Calif.—All five Cupertino area high schools of the Fremont Union High School District recently increased their Academic Performance Index (API) scores.
Cupertino High School led the way with a 39-point increase from 840 to 879—the highest in the district. Cupertino High also distinguished itself by earning the largest growth of all comprehensive high schools throughout Santa Clara County.
Fremont High School saw a 2-point increase to 741. Lynbrook earned a 6-point increase to 926. Homestead increased 7 points to 853. Monta Vista saw an 11-point increase to 935. Combined with Cupertino High’s stellar 39-point increase, the overall district increased 12 points.
Many new home buyers with children consider API scores heavily in their decision-making process when purchasing a home. With the continuing rise in API scores throughout the Cupertino schools in the Fremont Union High School District, both current and future homeowners can feel confident their children are benefitting from a consistent educational advantage.
Congratulations Students Staff!
High School Name Total API Increase New API Score
Cupertino 39 Point Increase API = 879
Fremont 2 Point Increase API = 741
Homestead 7 Point Increase API = 853
Lynbrook 6 Point Increase API = 926
Monta Vista 11 Point Increase API = 935
District Total 12 Point Increase API = 869
