Clink!!… my favorite sound right after “Cha-Ching”. It’s that time again! We’re only ONE WEEK away from our second episode of Cocktails & Deals. Valentine’s Day has us feeling festive, so the star of this month’s signature cocktail is my adult beverage of choice, champagne! Known for being a delicate and sophisticated 21 and older […]

For some people, February is a month filled with of love and celebration, for other it’s a time for discounted chocolates and wine (which can also be a reason to celebrate). But if you’re like me, you’ll agree that this month is the perfect time to celebrate your love for chocolate and wine! See what I […]

Sweet potatoes are my new obsession! Right after shoes, handbags, and working half-day on Friday’s…. But we’ll save that for a different day. Sweet potatoes are sweet enough to curb sugar cravings while also being a good source for protein, Vitamins A & C,  and antioxidants. They can be roasted, toasted, and even deep fried. […]

We are only ONE DAY away from our very first episode of Cocktails & Deals! To celebrate we are going to be giving away a copy of “One Word: that will change your life” by Jon Gordon, Dan Britton, and Jimmy Page. This book is not only incredibly motivational, it holds a special place in […]

 Although the market is beginning to slow down, we closed out 2016 in a Seller’s Market. The number of homes on the market decreased by nearly 25%, but the number of homes closed during the same amount of time when nearly unchanged. Compared to last year, the number of homes placed under contract in the […]

Sacramento is being hailed nationally as an up-and-coming culinary hot spot. The city’s Farm-to-Fork movement has made incredible waves across the region, and is getting the attention of foodies across the country. In a semi predictable turn of events (we are an agricultural powerhouse after all), people are traveling to us to see what our […]

Our Citrus Heights remodel is ready to hit the market! We loved watching this house become a Home, and are SO pleased with how everything came together. The home will be open this Sunday from 1:00 – 4:00 PM. If you’re in the area, stop by and check it out! 🙂

As 2016 comes to a close, many individuals have their sights set forward on 2017.  People everywhere are thinking about what they want and need from the upcoming year. Whether it be personal, professional, or even financial aspirations being set, there are different ways we set out to reach our greater potential. At NorCal Homes, […]

All of us at NorCal Homes & Development want to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas!   Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting. It is happiness because we see joy in people. It is forgetting self and finding time for others. It is discarding the meaningless and […]

Our East Sacramento new build is moving right along! Check out the pictures below. You can almost picture someone already calling this home! 😉  

Here are the “after” pictures for our project at 2664 Wentworth Road in Cameron Park, CA! The project turned out FANTASTIC! What do you think!?!?

Thanksgiving marks the beginning of holiday-instigated mass food consumption. I don’t know about you, but when I walk into my aunt’s house and smell the aroma of warm spices, meats, homemade breads, and everything in between, I can’t wait to get at least one of everything onto my plate. After having two-servings of my mother’s […]

Despite California year-to-date sales being down 3.7%, October is still being hailed as a Seller’s market. California single-family home and condominium sales were 35,842 in September 2016, a decline of 10.4 percent from August and a decline of 6.7 percent from 38,397 in September 2015. Year-to-date sales (January through September 2016) totaled 318,757 properties, down […]

The K Street ice rink in downtown Sacramento has synonymous with the holiday season for as long as I can remember. Growing up, everyone waited for the ice rink “to go up”. It signified the holiday celebrations, family, and winter recreation. For the 25th consecutive year, the ice rink will be making its temporary home […]

I am determined not to let the cold weather and my impeding desire to stay inside and bake all afternoon, ruin all of the effort I put in to eating healthy over the summer. If it’s not my overwhelming desire to sit at home, it’s holiday parties and get-togethers, threatening my progress. With our ever-increasing […]

Here are updated pictures for our project in Cameron Park! We are moving right along! Can’t wait to see this one done!!

The 2016 Real Estate market is becoming a recurring theme, giving seller’s the upper hand, but the numbers are starting to slow down. From August to September, the number of homes being listed is down 1.1%. Although the decrease is minor, it’s a noteworthy change in direction from previous months. Despite the (slight) decrease in the […]

Sacramento and Munich, Germany may be two very different places, but that isn’t going to stop us from having a beer (or three) and pretending we’re there! This weekend, The Sacramento Turn Verein will hold its 49th Annual Oktoberfest, a celebration patterned after the world-famous Oktoberfest in Munich, at Turner Hall. The largest folk festival in […]

It’s the calm before the storm at NorCal Homes! Since the last time we checked in, we’ve purchased five new projects, including our first home in Cameron Park. As I am writing this, we have ten active projects in the greater Sacramento area, all at different stages in the rehab process. Also, we are excited […]

We are very happy to report that 256 San Antonio Way in East Sacramento is pending after 6 days on the market…at full list!

That master bathroom was a hit!! #norcalhomes #norcalhomesanddevelopment #flippingnorcal#flippingnorthernca #flippingsacramento […]

It’s FINALLY starting to cool down in Sacramento. I know I’m not alone in saying it’s about dang time! Since the beginning of the month, it seems I haven’t been able to get in my car without hearing a “pumpkin spice” sales pitch… as I sat there and baked in the sun (insert pumpkin pie […]

The trend continues! August 2016 continues to bring good things to Seller’s in the Sacramento market, and word is starting to spread. There is a nearly 3% increase in the number of homes on the market compared to last month (but still down from this time last year). The increased supply isn’t slowing down sales, […]

The place that Oprah has in her heart for bread, I have reserved for all things that are Asian Cuisine. Which, unfortunately, is often pumped full of sodium and laden with carbs… two things that are counterproductive for someone who is trying to fit into the pants already hanging in their closet. During my never-ending quest to find […]

July 2016 is a Seller’s Market! Sacramento’s real estate market continues going strong into the second part of the year. Still a seller’s market, the number of homes for sale in the metro area is up 9.5% from last month, but down nearly 11% from this time last year. Although the number of homes placed […]

The fourth project, is located in the Land […]

Let’s get real for a second… I’m tired of salads. I’ve learned that summer is basically the balance of eating and drinking while still trying to look decent in a swimsuit. Even if you stay on top of your workout regime, hamburgers, Coronas, tacos, and Margaritas will catch up to you. If I have to sit at the […]

Sacramento residents, just like most other Americans, look forward to the beginning of July because with it comes America’s Independence Day. Fourth of July celebrations mean fireworks, BBQ’s, social activities, and fun in the sun! Yet, when the firework smoke settles and all of the leftover hamburgers are gone, July starts to become less of […]

When you’re a kid, Summer is magical… staying up a little later, eating lunch outside instead of being stuck inside a cafeteria, and the pool parties that you spend all week looking forward to. As we get older, Summer doesn’t lose its charm, but all of the activities that seemingly threw themselves together as a kid now […]
