So Cal Real Estate News

UPDATE: Katelyn Elizabeth Newman checked was born at 3:16 a.m. Wednesday morning, 5/28, weighing in at 8 lbs 6 oz, 20 inches. Mom, Dad, baby, grandpa Dave & others all tired but doing well. Film or at least photo at 11. Hopefully.

Guess I’m getting a little first-hand help with that whole keeping real estate in perspective thing we’ve been posting about periodically. (See “A Memorial Day perspective on our housing market,” “A little perspective,” or “A little more perspective.”)

Although Blair & I had been expecting his wife & my daughter Beth to go into labor this week with their second child, I was still caught a little off guard when Kaiser checked her in after her weekly check-up this morning.

It’s now over 12 hours since they started the ptosin to induce her, & she might be working on it all night. Meanwhile, after visiting Beth at the hospital, moving cars, & taking care of some preparation work on a new listing this morning, good old “Papa Dave” has been providing day care for Beth’s two year old daughter & her almost two year old cousin.

So that promised “Tale of Three Listings” post is still in my head rather than on this blog. Sorry.

Don’t even have time to post about all the interesting real estate news today, although it’s pretty much what we’ve been predicting all along.

Hopefully we’ll have some posts up shortly. Maybe a baby picture too.

Just more evidence that, regardless of the market’s crazy cycles, life does go on.

And there really are things in life much more important than real estate.
