Izabella Lipetski's Annual Holiday Drive helps foster children
This newspaper article of Izabella was on the front page of the Real Estate section in the Contra Costa Times on November 25, 2011.
Last year's holiday toy drive held by Izabella Lipetski, Realtor with Harbor Bay Realty, at Alameda South Shore Center was an outstanding success. "Thanks to the generosity of the community, a wonderful assortment of toys was offered to the children in the oncology department of Oakland's Children's Hospital. I'm truly grateful," said Lipetski. "This small holiday gesture put smiles on the children's faces and brightened their holidays."
"Izabella's commitment to the children in our community is commendable," said Dennis Pagones, president of Harbor Bay Realty. "Her energy and generosity are to be applauded."
This year, Lipetski's kind efforts reach out to foster children in the San Francisco Bay Area. Help make a child's holiday season bright by bringing new toys, games, arts and crafts, dolls, sporting equipment and clothes.
If you would like to make a donation, please drop it off at the Harbor Bay Realty office located at 885 Island Dr, Alameda by Dec 10th, Izabella Lipetski can be reached directly at 510-506-2072, or at her website: www.IzabellaLipetski.com.

SF is Best City to Trick to Treat
Hope you all had a safe and Happy Halloween. Zillow produced a list of the Best Cities to Trick or Treat. This year, San Francisco is #1 in the country trailed by San Jose at #6 - Bay Area, you should be proud.
Zillow has produced the list for three years now and for three years straight San Francisco has prevailed. It makes sense though, based on Zillow’s methodology, San Francisco has it all when it comes to best places to hit the candy jackpot on Halloween. San Francisco has the least amount of walking (key for those trying to hit as many houses as humanly possible like most people under the age of 10) and with the least safety risks (key to the parents of the candy-ravenous ghosts and goblins) .
Here are the stats:
San Francisco
Median Home Value: $660,494
Walk Score: 84.9

Enjoy Helping People Get The Home They Love
I recently helped two families find homes they love. One house I recently helped my clients close is 530 62nd Street in Oakland, CA. It is a two bedroom, one bath single home. I also helped another client close a condo on 4331 Fitzwilliam Street in Dublin, CA. This is a three bedroom, two and a half bath condo. Bringing personal warmth and caring to each transaction. I enjoy making people happy by helping them get the home they love and also selling their home at top dollar. Look forward to doing the same for you and/or anyone you know.

U.S. Cities Where Homes Sell the Fastest
U.S. Cities Where Homes Sell the Fastest
September 20, 2011
Provided by:
Although the U.S. housing market continues to struggle, many local markets are doing significantly better than the country as a whole, with some places virtually missing the housing bust altogether.
While shifts in home values are important in any market, it's important for sellers to determine the length of time a property can expect to be on the market before it will be sold. The faster that homes sell, the faster an inventory backlog can be cleared, suggesting heightened demand and an upward trajectory in prices. Additionally, if a home is on the market for an extended period of time, it may may turn off prospective buyers and force sellers to accept less-favorable offers.
To find the cities where this trend is the most extreme, real estate website Zillow.com analyzed the numbers to identify the cities where homes sell the fastest, according to the median number of days on the market. The numbers presented here are representative of home sales between mid-April and mid-July 2011.
During this time, the national median for time spent on the market stood at 117 days, while New York (168 days), West Palm Beach (175 days), and Indianapolis (180 days) were the cities where homes sold the slowest.
Also included in the analysis is the Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI), which represents the median measure of home valuations covered by Zillow. The information presented here also includes the proportion of listings with price cuts, the average amount those listings were reduced, and the “final discount from list price,” which is the average amount that was negotiated off the original list price before the sale.
So, where do homes sell the fastest? Read ahead to find out!
