Then Maria Palma presents Pricing for Success in Selling Your Home, posted at Home Solutions San Diego Blog. Her good advice can help sellers work their way through this process a bit more easily.

As for buyers, Brian Brady recommends that we Select a Mortgage Like You Would Buy An Outfit posted at Mortgage Rates Report. His innovative approach certainly makes financing sound a lot more sexy than I remember it.

With San Diego real estate prices declining, Peter Toner presents an article by Sally Kimble, entitled The perfect San Diego home deal .. posted at San Diego real estate blog - Peter Toner. Whatever the deal, if you can afford it, it’s pretty close to perfect, as long as it’s in San Diego county, isn’t it?

Tim Schenck advises,

“Never again find out about a cool event after-the-fact. San Diego based Eventful.com is the go to source for events before they happen.”

In another article Hey Matt Vasgersian! I Got Your Back, As Well, Brian Brady notes,

Brian takes a stand as well, and you can read about it at World Wide Wealth Advisors.

This month, we welcome a new San Diego blogger, T. Dalia, as she presents Time for a Change posted at Daily Dalia. She describes her blog as “Enlightenment with a hint of Sarcasm.” That sounds about right.

We welcome back Arun, who brings us more of his latest antics at Rowdy Ropin’ Rodeo posted at Arun is Bringing You…Your Daily Remedy. He says,

Well, as long as Arun is there, I have the feeling there’s always some fun.

sports

Geoff Young’s article at Ducksnorts is entitled Everything in Its Right Place, which he describes as,

“Coverage of Padres Opening Night game against the Astros at Petco Park.”

Having Geoff tell us about it is almost like being there - with an baseball expert and Padres historian!

san diego bloggers

My contribution for this month is San Diego Blogger MeetUps, from right here at The San Diego Traveler. I’ve been fortunate to meet many of this month’s contributing writers as well as other San Diego bloggers at the monthly meetups, and Wow! What an impressive, diverse, and talented group! (They’re fun too!) If you’re a San Diego blogger, I hope you’ll participate in the next monthly issue of The San Diego Special Edition, and maybe I’ll see you at a MeetUp too.

That concludes this edition. You may have noticed that a couple of our bloggers submitted more than one article this month. This is perfectly acceptable, as long as each post they submit is from a separate blog. If you write more than one blog with articles about San Diego county, feel free to submit a post from each.

You can submit your blog article to the next edition of The San Diego Special Edition using our carnival submission form. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page.
