RECENT EXPERIENCES:


  • Counseled a seller about the benefits and drawbacks of taking an off-market offer on their home.
  • Successfully negotiated through a potential deal-breaker problem that popped up in the middle of a sale that was caused by the city discovering some unpermitted work was performed on the house.
  • Gave a first time seller valuable advice on how best to improve the curb appeal of the home.

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: Although we are seeing slightly less activity, there are still plenty of buyers out there, all looking for a good deal. The most attractive homes, both in condition and price, will sell the fastest and with multiple offers for the unforeseeable future.

RECAP: Santa Clara County
The May/June slowdown seems to have leveled off as people are returning from their first break of the summer. What is important to pay attention to is the differential between new listings (yellow) and pending listings (red). Currently that figure is 473 which is consistent with previous months. Any change in this number by greater than 10% in either direction could be signs of a market shift. If the graph below does not appear, click here to view it.

RECAP: San Mateo County
San Mateo County only has a differential of 153, and it looks to be following suit with Santa Clara and San Francisco. CALL ME IF YOU NEED ANY SPECIFIC INFORMATION.
