INTERESTING READ: Bay Area foreclosures down in November as banks cancel auctions
Banks auctioned off fewer foreclosed Bay Area homes in November as the holiday season began, a foreclosure tracking company reported Tuesday. The decline, which followed an increase in October, comes as five major banks turn from foreclosing on those behind on their mortgages to


RECENT EXPERIENCES:


  • 4 out of every 5 homes that I've seen on the market have received multiple offers.
  • Counseled a past client who was pondering selling versus renting.
  • Helped a referred buyer identify school district boundaries to aid in their search.


THINGS I CAN HELP WITH:
Know someone considering upgrading their home or investment property? Let me help by guiding them through a comprehensive market analysis and pre-market consultation. I will make suggestions that pay my commission. Fill out this
form telling me a bit about the property in question and I can get to work on it immediately. You are less likely to invest money where it won’t give you a good return when you sell! Start now or forward to your family, friend or co-worker who lives in the area that I know best.

My buyers WIN in multiple offer situations! Be a hero and forward this email to your friends who are struggling to get their offers accepted in this ultra-competitive market.

FORECAST: Inventory levels are at a 5 year low. The holidays will cast its normal slowdown in sales, and I predict the first quarter of 2013 will be a very strong seller’s market followed by a possible cooling off period if interest rates rise.

RECAP:
The chart below shows that cities east of highway 880 are still experiencing a very high demand for housing. 

For Comparison: Sales in the cities west of highway 880 are slowing down slightly.
