And they're off.....Thursday, July 17th begins the Del Mar Racing season! The races include many interactive opportunities for San Diegans, including Opening Day and the Hats Contest, as well as Family Fun Day on Sunday, July 20th.

In 1937, Bing Crosby welcomed the first guest to the horse racing track and created a rival against the Kentucky Derby. Since then, the races welcomes thousands of guest every year. For the first time in history, Del Mar is ading a 15-day meet in the fall which begins on November 7th. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Hats Contest, which has five catagories, including the best racing theme and most outrageous. The grand prize include a two-night stay at the Grand Del Mar with dinner for two, and a $500 gift certificate from the Village Hat Shop.

Natural Hazard Disclosures

When you're ready to buy a home, you'll need to be sure that you receive a natural hazard disclosure report. Under section 1103 of the California Civil Code, the Natural Hazard Disclosure Act states that "real estate sellers and brokers are legally required to disclose if the property being sold lises within one or more state or locally mapped hazard areas."

The law requires six hazards to be disclosed, which include:

1. A Special Floor Hazard Area

2. Dam Inundation

3. Very High Fire

4. Wildland Fire

5. Earthquake Fault Zone

6. A Seismic Hazard

The state of California has a standard reporting format for the seller and their agent to comply with the laws, since it is their responsibility to disclose this information to the buyer. The seller and their agent can seek out a “third party” (typically a disclosure company, an engineer, geologist, or expert in the natural hazard discovery) to prepare the report.

The seller, sellers agent, and buyer, need to sign one copy of the Natural Hazard Disclosure Report proper to the close of escrow.
