Home Builders Seek Workers as Demand for Homes Increase

 Written by: Samantha Guarderas

  According to CNBC, homebuilders are currently experiencing a rise in demand for homes. This progress has been consistent over the past year and provides hope to homebuilders who suffered after losing 70% of their business in the housing crash. Now, with this boost in new orders for homes the main problem in executing homes in a timely manner is a lack of workers. After the housing crash, many workers left the home building industry in search of jobs with higher demand.

Due to the shortage of these workers, more specifically, framers, concrete workers, plumbers, roofers and painters, the cost of labor is greater. Homes that previously could be finished in 6 months now take 9 months. To replace these workers isn’t nearly as easy as it seems. These jobs require highly skilled workers and on the job training is undesirable. Time is money and in today’s market it can’t be wasted. They need workers that are already trained and prepared to begin the job.

       In the month of September alone, Eklipse Real Estate has had over $4 million dollars worth of real estate in escrow!

Topshop Ready to Top Los Angeles

Written by: Samantha Guarderas

The Grove has become more than a shopping center to Los Angeles residents and visitors alike, it’s become an escape to a world full of high fashion, entertainment and fresh produce. Now, to add on to the countless stores that cater to shopaholics everywhere, the Grove will now host a Topshop, estimated to open in February of 2013. Topshop is a British fashion store with a dedicated following of shoppers. Nordstrom is pairing up with Topshop and will have items from the store displayed amongst their own high-end collections.

Both companies are seeking to benefit from this collaboration as Nordstrom has become synonymous with class and Topshop with hip. This merge will expand both companies audience base and allow for new shoppers to explore all that they have to offer. Topshop will be taking advantage of this merge because they plan to open 20 new sites within the next 5 years, so in a way, this opening serves to understand how U.S. customers will respond to its new accessibility. Right now, Topshop has 319 stores in Britain and only functions in three U.S. states—New York, Chicago and Las Vegas. These limitations to Americans have made Topshop the object of desire for American travelers in Europe. With a new shop in Los Angeles, Topshop is expected to attract not only its most devoted fans, but gain the favor of shoppers all over the city. This merge is dream come true for

Los Angeles shoppers.

Eklipse Real Estate is offering a front row seat to experience the opening of Topshop at The Grove through our future listing on 7561 Clinton Street, located just one mile away from The Grove off of Melrose. The development of Clinton Street will be finished within the next month.
