1 Share of Berkshire Hathaway Will Buy You…

In 2014 alone, the price of shares in Berkshire Hathaway has increased more than 15%. With Berkshire’s stock breaking the $200,000 barrier, it got us thinking. How much would one share of Berkshire Hathaway buy out there in the real world?

Using the latest data from the National Association of Realtors, we did a little math. And as it turns out, one share of Berkshire Hathaway buys quite a lot.

In fact, with the proceeds from one Berkshire share, you could buy the average house in a whopping 120 of the top 175 housing markets in the U.S.

Check out this list for all the cities where you could buy the average house for less than it would cost you to buy into Berkshire Hathaway.

Great Article About #LosOlivos& #SantaYnezValley

#SellingLuxuryHomes

Is the solution to selling a home quickly, renting it out? One strategy to get homes off the market faster is enlisting a resident to live in and take care of the home while it’s on the market. By matching vacant properties with residents, this adds energy to a home that can’t be achieved in a traditionally staged home.

#SantaBarbaraCA Named One of America’s Top #SmallCities

 

Locals know Santa Barbara is a great place to live. But others around the country are now taking notice as well.

The website "Conde Nast Traveler" has ranked Santa Barbara the sixth best small city in America.

Here's what the article had to say about why Santa Barbara is a great place for visitors and residents:

"Blessed with an unbeatable location—between the Pacific and the foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains, a mere hundred miles north of Los Angeles—this capital of the American Riviera is as easy on the eyes as can be imagined. Add a balmy climate, a multitude of wineries, museums, nature preserves, and beaches, and there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Book well ahead for guided tours of the 37-acre, 1940s Lotusland estate—filled with topiary, exotic plants, and lotus ponds."
