I must say I am surprised by the latest stats for Tri Valley homes sales in December. Not because they are low, but because Pleasanton homes sales put market time at under 4 months and San Ramon home sales and Danville home sales had similar numbers. In my opinion these were not bad numbers given the coverage of what some are pointing to the sky falling.
Lets be honest where else can you find amazing schools like San Ramon Schools, Pleasanton Schools, and Dublin and Danville schools, Stoneridge Mall, Promenade at Dublin Ranch, Alameda County Fair, Downtown Pleasanton and Downtown Danville? The answer… not too many other places. I could go on about why Tri Valley homes are so desirable, but I think you get the point. The Tri Valley is a great place and that is why we still see better than average sales figures.

Not too many Pleasanton homes or tri valley homes are sold by auction, but a home in the Jensen Amador Estates of Pleasanton sold for $478,500 by auction. Over 100 people showed up on the day of auction and a starting bid of $299,000 was bid up by about 12 bidders and in the end came down to two people as many auctions do. The Jensen Amador Estates in Pleasanton normally see homes selling or between $550,000 and $650,000 with a few reaching over the $700,000 mark. So who was the winning bidder? Well in this case it was not an investor looking for a fast flip, but someone who plans to stay in the home for some time. Some of the reasons this homeowner chose this location and neighborhood were the proximity to Downtown Pleasanton, great Pleasanton Schools (Alisal Elementary and Amador High School are just minutes away) and ease of commute to both 580 and 680.
We all know schools have a huge impact on the value of real estate. From Pleasanton Real Estate values in the Pleasanton Valley neighborhood to Dublin Real Estate values in the Villas at Dublin Ranch, school are one of the first things buyers look at, and they should. A recent report from U.S. News & World has released the results of the Nation’s best High Schools, and yes in the Tri-Valley we have some of the best High Schools. Do a search for schools in your neighborhood to see what comes up. View the full article on the Nation’s Best High Schools and see how they determine the score.
As buyers of homes in the Dublin Real Estate and Pleasanton Real Estate market become even more cautious of where they buy, schools should be at the top of the list for future price appreciation.
