Roseville Real Estate Agent Ken Patterson explains “Why Roseville CA is a great place to Buy a Home!” I don’t know Ken, I just found this blog post and wanted to share it with everyone because he seems to love Roseville as much as I do, well almost as much =), so I asked him if it would be OK to share his post…
This Saturday, 4.19.2012, the Roseville Utility Exploration Center is putting on it’s 5th annual “Celebrate The EARTH Festival”. Free for the entire family from 1AM – 4 PM. Check out the video for more detials… ~Greg Roseville Electric’s small business lighting program has been named the Best Energy Program for a medium size utility by the California Municipal Utility Association. Roseville Electric leveraged funds received through the federal government’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant to provide rebates directly to small businesses that upgraded their lighting to more efficient technology. “Contractor-driven rebate programs benefit the customers, the utility and help support the local economy. This was the best way to get federal funds aimed at stimulating the economy into the local economy quickly,” said Electric Retail Energy Services Supervisor Marty Bailey. The program reduces small business customers monthly utility bills, reduces Roseville Electric’s overall energy demand and supported lighting contractors. By offering contractors higher rebate incentives, Roseville’s community-owned utility provided small business customers with a complete lighting overhaul for little or no out-of-pocket cost. “The California Municipal Utility Association represents the very best in community outreach and resource efficiency amongst public utilities throughout the state,” said Executive Director Dave Modisette. “Working creatively to implement new program, these award winners demonstrate clearly how California’s publicly owned utilities are on the forefront of innovative energy and water programs.” http://www.roseville.ca.us/news/displaynews.asp?NewsID=3129&TargetID=1 A Rocklin-based rain gutter company with its manufacturing in China is brining those jobs back to California. Gutterglove, which develops, installs, and repairs rain gutters recently announced that it is moving manufacturing operations from China to Southern California over the next three months. They also hope to add as many as 10 jobs in the Roseville/Rocklin area, where they already employ 25, in the next few months. Manufacturing has been in China since 2006 and that is only changing due to a request for bids last year coming back very competitive with the Chinese operation. Given the proximity of the Southern California companies and assembly improvements at the Rocklin facility, the company decided to move it all back to California. Roseville Fire Chief Marcus Reed’s first week on the job was full of new faces, moving to a new city and getting to know a new department.
A Roseville family may have been saved by a carbon monoxide detector they recently installed after the alarm alerted them to the killer gas last week in their home on Vernon Oaks Drive. When the Roseville Fire Department arrived they found all eight members of the household in their front yard. It was then determined that the detector was doing its job as there were lethal levels of the gas in the house. PG&E determined the cause of the gas leak was a fireplace that was not adequately vented. Luckily no one suffered any symptoms of any kind.

The police department’s spokesperson says property crimes far outweigh every other type of crime committed in the city combined, with theft of property inside vehicles being the most prevalent, and the majority of all crimes are committed by non-Roseville residents. Part of the deal in a higher income area. Property crimes of this nature are not limited to Roseville. All of the surrounding PD’s report similar trends as far as percentages of crimes go. While we’re still very safe here, things still do happen. Please make sure not to leave anything of value visible in your car while at places you will be for long periods of time like the movies or at the gym. That is the most likely place for this sort of crime to happen. And always bring your wallet/purse in with you, even if it is annoying or cumbersome (some advice I need to take for myself). Greg Check out this great and fun report from the “boys in the hoods”, Brent Gove and Rob Lewis of Keller Williams Roseville. I didn’t know anything about the Roseville Sports Center and I’ve lived in Roseville for almost 25 years… Now I want to go climb that wall!
(click the video to watch) The median sales price for homes in Roseville CA for the period of Sep 11 to Nov 11, 2011 was $253,000. This represents an increase of 3.3%, or $8,000, compared to the prior quarter, however median sales price simply isn’t as much of a telling statistic as most of the media portrays it to be and in my opinion tells us nothing about the direction of actual property values, only where the most activity in the market is. As you can see from this ever volitle chart. The average listing price for Roseville homes for sale was $300,389 for the week ending Dec 28 (according to Trulia.com). For what that is worth.
Average price per square foot for a sold home in Roseville has been flat all year at about $133, where it ended the year (but it was close to that all year and hasn’t really changed all that much since the big drop of 2008).
This is my first shot as detailed, hyper-local (Roseville) market data. It should get better over time but let me know how you like it in the meantime. ~Greg
Please take a minute to check out this video my friends Brent and Rob about one of my favorite places in the Roseville Rocklin area, Origin Coffee & Tea…
Any time is a great time to go see Origin, and spending money there is a GREAT cause, but it would also be awesome to see any local business owners, entrepreneurs, and salespeople active in the Roseville/Rocklin community on Tuesdays at 11:30AM for the Rocklin SUCCESSFUL THINKERS networking group. It’s 100% free to attend and is worth your time (it’s worth mine anyways) and if you buy a lunch, or even a drink, for the meeting it’s another way to support Origin’s great cause! ~Greg |
