Update

Earlier this year, C.A.R. began the historic effort to address California's unprecedented housing supply crisis as well as to increase homeownership opportunities for Californians by gathering nearly 1 million signatures—enough to qualify the Property Tax Fairness Initiative for the November 2018 General Election Ballot.

The initiative would eliminate the "moving penalty" for seniors 55 and older, the disabled, and victims of natural disasters, allowing them to carry their current Proposition 13-protected property tax assessment level to another home of any price, anywhere in the state, any number of times.

Yesterday a group of decision makers, including C.A.R.'s Executive Committee, Regional Chairs, Committee Liaisons, and Key Committee members provided input to the Leadership Team, which decided to keep the current initiative on the November 2018 ballot and file a revised initiative with the Attorney General for preparation of title and...

Watermelon Avocado Spinach Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing

I usually crave cookies, but not since I created this Watermelon Avocado Spinach Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing. I only want to eat this simple summer salad. It is my everything.

Strawberry spinach salad is a classic. I make it all of the time during the spring. I wanted a summer version of the classic, so I made a spinach salad with watermelon. I am SO glad I did because the watermelon is EPIC in this salad. I also added in avocado because we all know avocado makes everything better, including this salad.

So here is a little rundown of the most perfect summer salad:

• spinach
• watermelon
• avocado
• red onion
• feta cheese
• almonds

Oh, and we can't forget the poppy seed dressing. This easy homemade dressing is essential to making the salad perfect. It only takes a few minutes to make and is SO good! It is in my fridge at all times now, since I am making this salad every single day.

Promise me you will make this Watermelon Avocado Spinach Salad this summer. And don't wait long because you are going to fall in love after one bite and you too will want to eat it every single day.

However, the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) will expire on July 31, denying necessary insurance coverage to homeowners and home buyers in more than 20,000 communities nationwide. Tell Congress it must act now to reform and extend the NFIP. 

Over 5 million homeowners in 22,000 communities around the country rely on the NFIP to provide flood insurance. If Congress allows a lapse in the NFIP, NAR estimates that 40,000 real estate transactions would be at stake each month the program is shut down. We can't allow any more uncertainty in our real estate markets – it's time for Congress to pass a long-term reauthorization that includes much needed reforms to...
