Pleasanton Schools Continue to Exceed

Again, all Pleasanton schools exceed the state’s goal of 800 on California’s API. Attached is a report from the Pleasanton Unified School District on the success of Pleasanton schools. Not only did every school in Pleasanton exceed the 800 API mark, but seven individual schools had API scores above 900. Pleasanton schools are one of [...]

I think I’ll wait until the market picks up.

“I think ill wait until the market picks up.” Obviously a great idea because we never want to buy something and see it lose value the next day. The only problem with this thinking is that we do not know when the market will pick up or even what “pick up” means. Does pick up [...]

Why invest in real estate?

Since 1968 real estate values have increased 6.3% nationally. Nationally real estate values have never experience a year to year decline in values. Compare it to the stock market which has experienced no less than a dozen year to year declines in the same time period. Where will your investment be more secure? Real estate. [...]

Investing in top appreciation areas.

If you have a rental home in the East Bay you probably wont see more than a few percentage points of appreciation this next year.

Now is the right time to buy a home

This is a follow up to a recent post from Monday. Timing the market is not a possibility, yet so many people are trying to do it. I became fascinated with the idea that people can actually think they know how to do so. So I wrote an article to the editor of the Pleasanton [...]

For Quick Condo Sale, Make it Stand Out

In areas of the country where the condo market has been on overdrive, sellers can face major competition for buyers. The challenge is especially tough if several similar units in the same building or complex already are on the market.

When is the right time to buy a home?

With reports of a busted market or soon to get even worse market. Is there ever a right time to buy a home? The answer is no. There is never a right time other than right now. If it is a ‘sellers’ market people are always saying “this can never last”, and did so for [...]

Sales and prices soften, but rates are falling too

Total existing-home sales – including single-family, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops – dropped 4.1 percent since July 2005, and were 11.2 percent below the 7.13 million-unit level in July 2005 to 6.33 million units. Not only are we seeing a softening in the prices of homes due to rising inventory, but the rates buyer will be [...]

Paying Room & Board? It may be cheaper to buy.

Money Magazine recently reported that college tuition is increasing faster than the rate of inflation. If you have high school-aged children, buying a condo could be less expensive than paying for room and board for the next four or five years – especially with the tax break and charging rent from your children’s friends. Perhaps [...]

  They knew how to market my house for sale very well and had good connections to other agents so that the house would gain full visibility in the market during the first week of sale. Multiple offers had achieved shortly and they ensured that the best offer would be accepted.
