For a day of sporty leisure, head on over to Coronado.  Whether you arrive by car or ferry, you can easily rent bikes from one of the several rental shops on the island - Holland's Bicycles, Bikes & Beyond or Wheel Fun Rentals.

If your arrival point is the Ferry Landing, you can start your circumnavigation here.  Grab rentals from Bikes & Beyond and head out.  If your navigation starts in the southern direction, you will find yourself riding along a path, right next to the bay.  As you cruise on, downtown San Diego sparkles across the bay and sailboats float on by.  The path will bring you by Tidelands Park and heads under the bridge.  As you ride under the massive structure, the Coronado Golf Course pops up just on the other side.  Continuing...

Driving over the Coronado bridge will give you a 360 view of San Diego and a spectacular lookout point at sunset. But that only lasts a few seconds. Plus, it is challenging to drive and look at the scenery at the same time. So instead, plan ahead and get to Coronado early enough to see the sun descend. Winter is the best time to watch a sunset from the Crown City because it sets over the water.

The Crown City has several locations to offer for sunset gazers.  If you feel like treating yourself to a fancy somewhat pricey drink then head over to The Hotel Del Coronado.  Not to worry, they have beer too.  The Del has a huge deck built right on the edge of the beach - the patio includes comfy couches and fire pits.  It's no doubt a luxurious way to watch the sun set.

Electronic Marketing a Benefit to Buyers and Sellers for Coronado Real Estate

According to Stephen Leatherman, aka “Dr. Beach,” there are approximately 650 major public recreational beaches in the United States. Only one, though, can be No. 1. What strand of sand earns that designation? This year, the honor goes to Coronado Beach near San Diego, which tops Leatherman’s 2012 annual list of the Top 10 Beaches in the country. Released on Friday, the full list includes:

1. Coronado Beach, Coronado, Calif.
2. Kahanamoku Beach, Oahu, Hawaii
3. Main Beach, East Hampton, N.Y.

At a recent Women’s Council of REALTORS® luncheon I attended, Leslie Appleton Young, Chief Economist for the California Association of REALTORS®, reported that according to Pew Research Center’s “Home Sweet Home. Still. Five Years After the Bubble Burst” 8 in 10 Americans agree buying a home is the best long-term investment a person can make. Rent or Buy is the question of the day.  “…renters are hardly immune to the allure of homeownership, even in the face of the five-year decline in prices.  Asked if they rent out of choice or because they cannot afford to buy a home, just 24 % say they rent out of choice.  According to Pew Research Center, “17% of the current renters would like to continue to rent and 81% would buy a house at some point.”

According to CAR’s Chief Economist,...
