We’ve translated the video here:
Anchor Woman:
Although the economy has not shown significant improvement, U.S. new home sales in March increased by 27%, the highest in the most recent 50 years。For example, Palo Alto new homes sales remains hot because of its great school district and living environment here in the Bay Area.
Let us take a look.

Reporter:
Palo Alto’s Altaire townhome community launched the seventh and eighth phase of new homes release on May 1. It attracted a lot of people who wished to buy homes. Here is the interview with the sales manager Kim.

Kim:

Reporter:
The Altaire townhome community was developed by the Regis Homes building company. During this weekend’s new release, three new homes were sold. Altaire is close to Freeway 101, convenient transportation, nearby shopping centers, adjacent to Stanford University, in the Palo Alto School District, and is the ideal location for many home buyers. Obviously the Palo Alto real estate market remains the hot spot for the Bay Area home buyers.

Palo Alto Year Round Farmers’ Market

March 1st, 2010 by Altaire Townhomes

It’s hard to beat the experience of a Farmers’ Market….the sights, the smells and colors are all a welcome escape from our daily, hectic lives.  Altaire is very fortunate to have a year-round farmers’ markets right here (every Sunday) in Palo Alto  California Avenue Farmers’ Market. This wonderful venue is run by Urban Village Farmers’ Market Association, a Non-profit Mutual Benefit Corporation providing “the best possible opportunity for farmers, food vendors, and community members to preserve, enhance, and enjoy regional fresh quality foods.”*

A leisurely day at the market followed by a meal prepared with fresh picked ingredients makes for the perfect Sunday!  Stroll the aisles for produce, baked goods, fresh meats and crafts.  The good people at Urban Village have taken the time and compiled this very helpful resource list to aid in making your shopping experience a memorable one:

  • Use the market as a place to plan your meal. Go to the market, and get inspired. Learn to shop and eat “seasonally.” Produce harvested and picked vine or tree ripened always taste better and will enhance any meal.
  • Talk to the producer. Get invaluable information on even the most common fruits and vegetables.
  • Buy a new item every once in a while. Ask the person next to you or the producer to give you some ideas on how to use it. Or trust your intuition and take it home, taste it raw, steam, roast, grill or stir-fry whatever is in season. This is one of the keys to creative cooking.
  • Get the kids involved. Give them a few dollars and let them buy whatever produce they want and will eat. It’s a great way to make them responsible rather than you for eating fruits and vegetables.
  • Take your favorite basket or cloth bag. It’s sustainable and environmentally friendly.
  • Recycle your plastic bags. After each market, tuck them back into your market basket. Again, it’s an environmentally friendly thing to do.
  • Use your senses to find the best items. Smell, touch (gently) and taste.
  • Bring a friend to the market. Turn someone else on to the rich satisfaction that can be found through the food and community at the Farmers’ Market.*

California Avenue Farmers’ Market has an excellent selection of fresh items sure to please all shoppers.

Don’t miss this nice collection of market photos to put you in the mood -> here.

Happy Shopping!!

Location:
California Avenue (at El Camino)
Palo Alto, Santa Clara County

Open:
Sundays
9:00am – 1:00pm
Year ’round

What’s Tweeting Palo Alto?

February 25th, 2010 by Altaire Townhomes

We are always on the hunt for an insiders scoop on upcoming art events, restaurant recommendations, happy hour deals and fun things to do in Palo Alto. More than ever, consumers are communicating in real-time via smart phones linked to Twitter about their first-hand experiences at local lunch spots, art galleries and entertainment venues by posting reviews on Yelp and check-ins with feedback on Foursquare or Gowalla. These local tweets can provide insight, feedback and even recommendations on a variety of topics.

Interested in what people are tweeting about near Altaire?

Take a look at our new, custom umapper map.  You can zoom in and out (top left) and recent tweets will load automatically in the new map.

Search keywords in twitter by using the search tab in the bottom right of the map.
Try typing keywords like SVRE, Altaire or real estate to see what locals are saying about the housing market. An interesting trend is to see tech-savvy real estate agents and brokers use their smart phones to check-in to each open house on Broker Tour days and provide feedback via Twitter or leave feedback on those communities listed on geo-tagging sites like Foursquare and Gowalla. A great real-time client service!

Recently, SF Beer week was on twitter and it was fun watching nearby tweets recommend different ales and brews or pairings and tasting locations. Interested in art, music or wine? Try those keywords…you may hear about something new in the neighborhood!

You can even view the map and tweets in full screen mode by clicking on the full screen tab (top right).
