Out here in CA we have Mt. Solidad. It over looks the ocean and the mountain itself has a large cross on top and is a vetran memorial ( which has had much controversy over the years ). Most of the homes on Mt. Solidad are multi million dollar homes. Last year in October, a portion of the mountain was subject to a landslide. Some homes were lost and others sustained or are currently sustaining damage due to the unstable geology of the land. I did an appraisal on a home a few blocks from where the landslide took place ( appraisal for listing purposes ). The immediate area of my subject property was not affected however it is unknown by me or anyone else that I have spoken with as to the stability of the land on this mountain. There were prior landslides in the 60's as well. I commented on the landslide and stated that I am not an expert in the field of geological stability and that an expert should be engaged if required. Am I missing something with this?
