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 Nothing from me today but check out this article in the Roseville Press Tribune… I don’t know how much they make a difference but little things like this are awesome in my mind and are just another way to support our HEROES after they come home from serving our country!
At the end of October there were 6.3 million homeowners currently behind on their mortgage in the US. A big number, right? However the data shows that this number has been on a steady decline for the last two years. In just January of this year that number was closer to 6.9 million. The January before (2010) the number was 8.1 million!
We’re seeing the benefits of this already in the Sacramento/Placer markets as housing inventory is at about a 2 month supply. A more “normal” or healthy market has about a 4 month supply of homes at any given time. I’m also seeing the home values of many of my clients, from midtown Sacramento to Roseville, see the values of homes they bought in the last year or so RISE (not a huge rise, but that is better than declining or even being just flat). This doesn’t mean a reversal of fortune, that people who bought in 2006 are going to see the value of their homes rise to the level it was back then any time soon, but it’s a start. Bringing you the good news, with real numbers, that you don’t get anywhere else! Greg Cowart
The 24,000 sq ft former Circuit City location on Fairway Drive opens at 9AM next Friday (11.18.11) with a ribbon cutting ceremony and a financial donation to Thomas Jefferson Elementary School located right across the street. Like all of its locations the Roseville Big Lots will sell name brand products in categories from food to furniture to TVs and seasonal goods for what they say is 40-70% off of what other retailers sell the same item for. |
