There Is No NFL Stadium Coming to Chula Vista

By David Cardenas - October 09, 2026
If you've typed "Chula Vista stadium," "Chula Vista NFL stadium," or "new stadium Chula Vista" into Google this year, you've landed on a confusing pile of headlines spanning three different decades.

By David Cardenas - October 05, 2026
Walk into almost any Chula Vista open house in October 2026 and you'll notice something that wasn't standard practice three years ago: before an agent unlocks the front door -, there's a one-page buyer-representation agreement on the clipboard, waiting for a signature. That requirement isn't a Chula Vista quirk or a Realty ONE Group policy — it's a nationwide rule that's been quietly reshaping how

By David Cardenas - September 29, 2026
Your best mortgage offer may not have the lowest advertised rate. If you’re learning how to prepare to buy a house in San Diego, start with a consistent loan scenario so you can compare lenders on equal terms, including loan type, fees, and estimated monthly payment.

If you miss a deadline, the seller may issue a Notice to Perform that gives you 48 hours to act or risk contract cancellation. San Diego real estate contingency clauses involve a practical tradeoff: you need tim

This Question Hits Self-Employed Homeowners Even Harder

By David Cardenas - September 19, 2026
As of September 17, 2026, the average 30-year mortgage rate climbed to 7.37%, according to Zillow data reported by CBS News. That's about two full percentage points above where it sat in early March 2026, when the average rate for a 30-year term was just 5.75%.

Typing "Condos For Sale in the Bayfront"? Here's Why Your Search Results Are Lying to You If you've been Googling "condos for sale in bayfront" and coming up with a confusing mix of listings — some near the water, some ten minutes inland, some that aren't even in Chula Vista — you're not imagining it.
