THINGS I CAN HELP WITH:
Know someone who needs a bigger house? Let me help them through all the options of moving up in this fast market. Have them
fill out this form and I’ll get started on pricing their current home. Once we know how much they will net from the sale we can then start targeting suitable replacement homes. Now is the time since the market is so lacking in good homes to buy!

To have me get started on finding your next home
go here and tell me what you are looking for.

If you are at all considering selling property in the next 24 months talk to me about your goals.  I will make suggestions that pay my commission.

FORECAST: There are 2-3 times the number of buyers than sellers, so finding a buyer for your well-priced home is easier today than it has been for the past 3 years! It’s also a great time get into your first property or move up to a larger property. People’s sentiments about the economy are improving, so the trend will likely continue, but there is no way to know for how long.

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.
