To buy or not to buy a home in Pleasanton, California? If you’re on the fence about buying a new home, there’s no time like the present to take the leap! While no one can say with absolute certainty that Pleasanton real estate prices are as low as they’re going to go, national real estate experts are predicting they’re not going to drop much lower. Prices dropped 18.6 percent nationwide in February from a year earlier and have since leveled off. More foreclosures mean more homes on the market, and with new tax incentives for first-time buyers, sales are picking up. We’ve seen a leveling off in prices in Livermore and Pleasanton as homeowners are more realistic in their asking prices. And with interest rates at historic lows, it’s truly buyer’s market right now.   Still unsure? Give us ...

Yesterday I did a Market Report on Home Sales in Pleasanton, CA.  The Alameda and Contra Costa Counties some of the most upscale communities in the country.  Pleasanton California is one of those upscale communities with many homes priced over $1,000,000.00. Today I have some charts comparing home sales above and below $1,000,000.00.  These figures were pulled from the MLS on May 1, 2009. Right now in Pleasanton there are 121 homes on the market above $1,000,000.00, but on 119 homes below $1,000,000.00.  This is a very good ratio of high end homes.  This will help all homes to hold their value. Obviously there are a lot more home sales under $1,000,000.00.  When looking at these charts be aware that the small number of sales, both above and below $1,000,000.00, can vary dramatically due...

The Alameda and Contra Costa Counties some of the most upscale communities in the country. One of those communities is Pleasanton California. Recently I took a look at the Pleasanton Market. I was surprised at the trend I was seeing and went back over 6 months of sales to look at the trends. These figures were pulled from the MLS on April 29th & 30th, 2009. Looking at the numbers we can see the Pleasanton market took a little dip at the end of the year, but bounced back. I look primarily at the cost per SF. Sales for December are generally reflected by escrows closed in January and February. For Sellers the number that should be of concern is the number of homes on the market vs. the total number of sales. It is about an 11 month supply which indicates a Buyers Market. However, the low ...

  One of our favorite things about Pleasanton – aside from its top-ranked schools, well-planned housing and abundance of beautiful parks, of course – is downtown. It’s Main Street U.S.A. Charming, quaint and pedestrian-friendly; it’s a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. With the Farmer’s Market every Saturday of the year, and a plethora of outstanding restaurants and locally owned businesses, Downtown Pleasanton keeps the small town charm of our growing city alive and well. In these tough economic times, even our beloved Main Street has taken its hits and now has a handful of empty storefronts. But we are pleased to report there’s good news on the horizon. Little Valley Winery of Sunol plans to open a wine tasting room at 739 Main St. that will include outdoor seating; R...

IS YOUR LOAN WITH WACHOVIA? If you or someone you know has a Wachovia Home Loan and has a hardship and can no longer afford their mortgage you could qualify for a short sale or loan modification. I'm in direct contact with Wachovia's Loss Mitigator and he encouraged us Realtors to spread the word that they get  and know that time is of the essence when selling a home. TIME FRAME FOR AN APPROVAL WITH A WACHOVIA SHORT SALE The time frame that was quoted to me after listing your home and getting a qualified buyer to purchase your home is approximatley 7 days, and an average of 45 days to close depending on if there is just Wachovia as the first lien holder and if there is a junior lien involved as well. YES YOU CAN LIST YOUR HOME AND TRY TO GET A LOAN MODIFICATION AT THE SAME TIME The Los...
