MUST READ: Bay Area home prices plateau on slowing sales
The turbocharged Bay Area housing market ran out of gas in July as the region turned out the lowest annual price gain in almost two years, according to a report Thursday.

RECENT EXPERIENCES:


  • Had a home sit on the market for 3 weeks with little activity and then sold in 48 hours with multiple offers over asking price.
  • Negotiated a long escrow to accommodate finding a replacement property for a seller.
  • Explained the positives of a 1031 tax deferred exchange to an investor.


THINGS I CAN HELP WITH:
Looking for a home in a specific school district? My
website can do that for you.
Looking for a home with an “open floorplan” or “big backyard”? My
website can do that too.
Email me for these CUSTOM services.

Selling before buying can be really tricky in a market like this, but you do have options. Let me help by first
filling out this form so I can get started on pricing your current home, and then we can discuss options to prevent a double move, or worse, not being able to buy the replacement!

FORECAST: After the general slowdown was felt July came across as an absolute halt in sales. As we’re nearing the end of August I’m noticing people come back to the markets looking at properties, so I suspect sales will begin to pick back up. GREAT TIME if you want little competition on the home of your choice! If you are thinking about selling call me so we can discuss your specific situation.

RECAP: Santa Clara County
July had the largest number of homes not sell in over 2 years. I’m expecting August to be more in line with the regular trend.

RECAP: San Mateo County
Oddly enough, San Mateo County didn’t experience the same slowdown in the markets. CALL ME IF YOU NEED ANY SPECIFIC INFORMATION.
