I just read a great blog on the Mission San Luis Rey on Oceanside and I don’t want you to miss out on it.

Mission San Luis Rey in Oceanside - A Bit of California History (LOCALISM FEATURED)

When I moved to California from Kentucky and Florida I learned about the Missions.

My very first mission experience was in Lompoc. Mission La Purisma. I heard about the candlelight tour and signed up. It was one of the absolute TOP things I have ever done -over Disneyland, any theme park, even Shamu!  And the opportunity is coming your way.

October 10-11 they are having the candlelight tour. It sells out every year.

Imagine. walking with a small group led by a little lady with a lantern to the sunset pouring through the mission openings. As we walk we see a group of Indians at their fire and a pony and rider gallop by.  The bell, the experience is truly a reenactment of the olden days. The window vignettes show many themes of the mission. The Lovely lady with a Spanish mantilla, a family making chapatas…at the table, the military men talking at a roaring fire. Finally a big finale with a friar tuck and food tables laden with food made by locals. Have I tempted you yet to say 40 dollars a ticket is worth it for each of your children and for the child in you? Check out the details and email me with thanks if you love it like we did.

Tax Relief  if you or your spouse is age 55+  California allows a transfer of original taxes in Prop 60/90.

Example:

One client bought his home 30 years ago and tax of 1.2 % of 40 Thousand dollars.  He sold it for a million dollars and moved to Oceanside buying another home for 800K and pays the same tax!  That is the example I saw of the power of proposition 60/90

That is the deal. To check out the details ask and it shall be given. By the city, a Realtor, most tax people should know and so forth.

I told one lady about it at an open house in Redondo Beach. And she said..”Oh that will never pass” Well, it did. Years ago. However, Santa Barbara opted out.

So think about moving.
