Get your Sushi on! Sushi Bar Nippon in the Gaslamp is a great place for raw fish.
February 21st, 2008 Categories: Health and Fitness, San Diego Events
Sushi Bar Nippon is located on 532 4th Ave, San Diego, CA 92101 and only serves sushi. This precision focus makes it one of the best sushi bars in the Gas-lamp.
My wife and I sat at the bar and asked the sushi chef for the fresh stuff. He recommended the halibut, Spanish mackerel (aji) and the toro. We ordered all of his reccomnedations plus oshinko maki, natto maki, seafood salad and a few other things. We also ordered some unfiltered sake, which was served in the traditional sake box.
The halibut was exquisite - thinly sliced to near-transparent with a dab of chili sauce and ponzu sauce. Spanish mackerel was delicious as well. It has a tendency to be too-fishy fish for my liking but here at Nippon the flavor of the fish was just right and not too pungent.
The food and the service is top notch. The ambiance of the restaurant makes you feel like you are in Japan. If a trip to Roppongi, Japan is too far then I recommend Sushi Bar Nippon.

Great time to buy property Downtown San Diego.
February 11th, 2008 Categories: Buy San Diego, Landon Jackson Real Estate, Real Estate News, San Diego Housing Statistics
My clients from Arizona took Advantage of this great opportunity.
Time to get out there and get your slice of the Downtown San Diego market. My clients sent me this article from the Arizona Republic and it makes perfect sense.
“For Zonies with serious San Diego addictions, there could be an upside to falling real-estate prices.
A condo-market meltdown has put the dream of owning a piece of downtown San Diego within the reach of more Valley residents.
Tightening credit and pain caused by rising payments on subprime loans have put the brakes on new-condo sales, While still lofty, prices for some units are now more than 30 percent below previous highs and still falling.
A new 725-square-foot “bank-owned” studio, two blocks from the San Diego Padres’ ballpark, is listed at $189,900, down from $289,900 at the end of September. Read the rest of this entry »

When does it make sense to Refinance your mortgage? A simple way to determine how much money San Diegans can potentially save on their home loan.
January 31st, 2008 Categories: Financial Trends, Sell San Diego
I have pondered this very question numerous times and after finding this article on bankrate it all make s a little more sense.
Q: How do I decide whether it makes sense to refinance?
Q: Is it true that it is not really worth refinancing a 30-year mortgage unless it is to go down a full point of interest?
Q: At what point is it worth it to apply to refinance a mortgage? We have a 30-year fixed rate of 5.75 percent. We have good credit and would love to reduce our monthly payment. But will the fees and hassle outweigh the cost benefit?
Q: I am in the market looking to move into a larger house. I haven’t seen anything I like at this point, but mortgage rates are low enough that I could refi and save some money. If I refinance now, and then want to purchase a home down the road, am I hurting my chances for getting that mortgage?
Holden Lewis: Give a manicure to those old rules of thumb that say you shouldn’t refinance unless the rate has dropped by a certain percentage. To figure out whether it’s in your best interest to refinance, you need to calculate your break-even point.
The break-even point is the time it takes to make up in monthly savings what you paid in fees. You calculate it by dividing the mortgage fees by the monthly savings. For example, let’s say you would save $100 a month by refinancing, and the closing costs would be $3,000. Your break-even point is 30 months from now: the $3,000 in fees divided by the $100 a month in savings.
In this case, if you expect to continue living in the house for more than two-and-a-half years, you’ll save money in the long run by refinancing. If you plan to sell the house before then, it’s probably best to stick with the mortgage you have.
How do you figure your monthly savings? You’ll have to get an estimate of the rate for which you’ll qualify. A mortgage broker or loan officer can tell you that. Ask the loan officer, or consult a mortgage calculator, to determine what your principal and interest would be with the new loan. Look at your payment coupon to find out what your current monthly principal and interest are. Now you can figure out how much you would save every month.
It is safe to say depending on the cost of your refinance it looks like an opportune time to consider getting a lower interest rate on your loan. There are many lenders out there so be sure to choose wisely.
