CALIFORNIA – The National Weather Service has canceled a tsunami watch for the California coast following a 7.9-magnitude earthquake that struck off the coast of Alaska. An initial tsunami watch covered the coast from the California border with Mexico to the Washington border with British Columbia.

The earthquake struck at 12:31 a.m. Tuesday – 1:31 a.m. Pacific Standard Time – about 175 miles southeast of the city of Kodiak, the main city on Kodiak Island, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The earthquake had a preliminary magnitude of 8.2, but officials have since downgraded it to a 7.9-magnitude quake. A series of aftershocks followed the quake.

The tsunami watch was canceled for the California coast, as well as the coastal areas of Washington and Oregon, at 4:16 a.m. A tsunami was generated as a result of the earthquake, weather officials said, but it does not pose a threat to California. Some areas may see small sea level changes, according to weather officials.

LIVERMORE, CA — A winning ticket in Saturday night's SuperLotto Plus drawing worth $18,282 was sold at a Livermore gas station, according to the California Lottery. The winning ticket was sold at the Chevron station located at 909 Bluebell Drive in Livermore with the numbers 3, 24, 28, 33, 40.

The purchaser of the ticket has not yet come forward. SuperLotto Plus winners have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their money. Of the 103,611 winning tickets sold, no one won the jackpot.

Tri-Valley residents seem to be on a winning streak lately. In August of 2017, Dublin resident Sandra A. won $1.6 million after she placed a $5 bet playing a Wheel of Fortune slot machine in the McCarran International Airport's C Concourse in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Months before, Dublin resident Albert Tirnetta became $1.2 million richer after winning the California Lottery's "Set for Life Scratchers" game with a ticket he bought in Dublin in late July. Tirnetta bought the winning ticket at Earl Anthony's Dublin Bowl where he visits three times a week.

Pleasanton 2018: Soaring to new highs

So much detail about Pleasanton in this article by Jeb Bing / Pleasanton Weekly.

Pleasanton has changed over the years and to be ranked as the country's 3rd wealthiest city in earning - that's something to brag about.

Another year of records in city revenue, property valuations, household income, housing prices.

New records set last year continue to soar unabated in Pleasanton as 2018 gets underway.

Starting the new year, Pleasanton saw a 3.9% growth rate over last year with a current population estimated at 82,270.

The city's general fund revenues came in at $115.7 million, a 3.6% increase over the $111.7 million realized in the 2015-16 fiscal year.

At approximately $145,000 in median household incomes, Pleasanton now ranks near the top among U.S. cities with populations from 65,000 to 249,999 and has been named the country's third wealthiest city in terms of earnings in its category.

Median home prices are now $1,090,000, which is $246,000 or 29% greater than they were in 2005, the highest pre-recession year for Pleasanton's home values.

Although not the third largest city in Alameda County, Pleasanton starts the year with the third highest property valuation in the county, ranked behind only the much larger cities of Oakland and Fremont.

Pleasanton's unemployment rate stands at 3.3%, down from a high of 8.8% in 2010. Office vacancies are 6.3%, down from a high of 18.5% in 2011.

The city's general fund finished the 2016-17 fiscal year with a nearly $6.5 million surplus due to higher revenues and lower expenditures than originally estimated. The extra funds are being allocated this year to the worker's compensation reserve ($1 million) with the remainder split evenly into general fund reserves, pre-fund pension liability and capital improvement program reserves.

Tips for Pricing Your Home To Sell

Tips for Pricing Your Home To Sell

You've decided to sell your home and embark on a new house to make your home. Either growing your family or downsizing due to empty nesting. 

How do you price your home to sell?  Here are 5 tips for pricing your home to sell.

"If you price it right, it sells overnight. If you price it wrong, it stays too long."

1. Scope the Neighborhood  🏠🏘
Compare prices with houses in your area (in the past 3 months)

2. Time is of the Essence⌛
If you have "time" then price at your leisure. If you need to close the sale quickly, be smart and competitive.

3. Is it Worth it?  💲
After mortgage fees, notary fees, and advertising costs - are you still making a profit?

4. A Numbers Game  🖩
Avoid round numbers ($499,000 sounds better than $500,000, right?)

5. Rely on the Pros  (most important)
Agents do all the research so lean on them for HELP.
Your HOME is your baby but try not to take things personally.
They KNOW the market. LISTEN to them. 👂

Don't try to take all this on yourself. Allow me to work with you to create a pricing strategy that will attract the right level of interest.

Top 8 Tricks to Do Before Selling Your Home

Top 8 Tricks to Do Before Selling Your Home

We all want the best return on our investment.
Here are Top 8 Tricks that you really want to take a look at before selling your home:

1. Make a First Impression
Front yard/Curb appeal can easily get a 100% return on the money

2. Price is Right
Shave 15-20% off what your home is worth. Builds excitement with buyers!

3. Squeaky Clean
Be ready for Drop-Ins. House needs to be Buyer-ready at all times.

4. Kitchen is Where It's At
It's the most important room in the House, trust us! Spend the money to remodel, if need be.

5. Keep the Pets Out
Not everyone is a cat or dog lover. Keep in mind.

6. Lights On! 
Maximize all the light in your home - remove all drapes, clean windows, turn them on. Makes your home bright!

7. Come Out of the Closet
Keep closets half-full. Buyers will snoop and if they see over-crowding, not a good sales point.

8. Find the Right Agent 
Be in sync with him/her. Make sure they are on top of your property.
