We Need More Homes For Sale! Multiple Offers Are Back

Welcome back to multiple offers on homes. It has been a few years since Pleasanton real estate has seen this level of multiple offer activity. Not only Pleasanton homes, but Dublin real estate, Danville homes and homes in Livermore are seeing higher levels of activity and offers.

As Realtors in Pleasanton selling homes from Livermore to Danville, we see the trends as they are happening. Our sellers are seeing higher levels of buyers looking at their homes. Our open houses are seeing increases in foot traffic and our website is even seeing higher levels of activity!

Our family has been in real estate for 4 generations and we have seen shifts in the market. From 18% interest rates (see chart below) to buyer’s markets and in some areas of Pleasanton and Dublin Ranch, now seller’s markets.

I took some time to look back over the past year at the number of homes for sale in our area.

Livermore homes- Homes For Sale in Livermore

Pleasanton Homes- Homes For Sale in Pleasanton

Danville Homes- Homes For Sale in Danville

Dublin Homes- Homes For Sale in Dublin

Lets not forget that interest rates helping with the multiple offer situation. Rates are around 5%. I stole this chart for a Realtor friend of mine in San Francisco at Paragon Real Estate. Inventory is low, interest rates are low, prices are low, demand is up and now homes are receiving multiple offers. Ill add a days on market chart next week, that should be surprising data too.

Pleasanton Housing Cap Ruled Invalid

Pleasanton Housing Cap Ruled Invalid

In 1996 Pleasanton voters approved a 29,000 cap on Pleasanton homes. This came at a time when home construction was moving fast in surrounding areas. Pleasanton voters decided they wanted to limit the number of total homes and only allow 350 housing permits issued per year. Move forward to 2010, we are close to the 29,000 cap with about 27,000 units built and not everyone is happy with what Pleasanton has.

Alameda County Superior Court Judge Frank Roesch ruled the Pleasanton housing cap is in violation of state law. With 27,000 units built or approved, the number of affordable units could not be built under the 29,000 units.

The recent ruling ordered the city to rezone land to meet the need under state law. This case Urban Habitat v. City of Pleasanton was brought by Public Affairs Inc. on behalf of Sandra De Gregorio and regional environmental justice organization Urban Habitat.

Ruled invalid by Roesch because the housing cap does not allow Pleasanton to meet the Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA) under state law. Under the state law, 3,277 housing units, including 2,524 affordable homes be built by 2014.

Since 2006, Pleasanton has identified potential sites for housing such as the Hacienda Business Park near the BART station. Developers have been working on plans for mixed-use development aimed at transit-oriented development. Since 1999, 20 homes for very low income families earning less than $40,000 units have been built.

More information will come after the city council meets tonight in anticipation for future council meeting.
