Pleasanton’s New Look in 2025 – What’s Your Opinion

What will 2025 look like for residents of Pleasanton? For one, probably no more new housing built as we approach the voter approver 29,000 Pleasanton Housing Cap. Side note, if you want to develop some land into housing, you might want to do it sooner than later since there are only a few thousand units left before the Pleasanton housing cap it met.

The City Council and Planning Commission have revised the general plan after 5 years of meetings and planning.

To view the updated plan visit www.pleasantongeneralplan.org or pick up a hard copy at the Planning department at 200 Bernal Ave.

This is your opportunity to review the Pleasanton General Plan and make your voice heard to the Council at the upcoming meetings. With issues like the Oak Grove in Pleasanton it is important to make sure the city leaders are heading down the right path.

Update: Save Pleasanton’s Hills & Housing Cap Initiative

At the Pleasanton City Council meeting on July 15 @ 7:00 the council will meet to discuss adopting two resolutions.

City Council Agenda 7-15-08

More than 5,000 Pleasanton residents signed a petition asking the Pleasanton City Council to place an initiative on the ballot which would limit development on Pleasanton hillsides. Some of what is asked for is.

• Limiting development on hillsides with grades greater than 25% within 100 feet of a ridgeline
• Stricter definition of ‘housing unit’ increasing the current number of residential units in Pleasanton

Supporters are looking for an ordinance that would stop developments like Oak Grove in Pleasanton which is a 51 lot custom home development on 496 acres in the southeast hills of Pleasanton.

Buying Short Sales in Dublin or Foreclosures in Pleasanton

Buying a Short Sale in Dublin or a Foreclosure in Pleasanton is a lot easier than you think, but buying a Short Sale in Dublin or a Foreclosure in Pleasanton is not as easy as you think?? What, I’m confused too. While many people see buying foreclosures here in our area the thing to do, there are good and bad items to consider when buying a Short Sale in Dublin or a Foreclosure in Pleasanton

Allow me to explain…

Why Buying a Foreclosure in Pleasanton is Easy

• Clean Title (bank paid everything off)
• Good Prices (banks dont like holding homes)
• Easy to See (nobody lives there)

Why Buying a Foreclosure in Pleasanton is Hard

• Need Work (not all, but be prepared) Example 1687 East Gate Way
• Multiple Offers (remember, prices are good)
• No Disclosure (bank doesn’t know what went on in the home)

Why Buying a Short Sale in Dublin is Easy

• Motivation (time frame is short before it goes to foreclosure)
• Pricing (Seller needs to sell before bank steps in)
• Condition is Better (Generally, the sellers are taking care of the home)

Why Buying a Short Sale in Dublin is Hard

• Sloooow Response Time (could be a 3 months plus to get lender approval)
• Multiple Offers (Again motivation sets pricing)
• Foreclosure Hits (if it takes too long, the bank could foreclose while in contract)

Overall, if you know what you are doing then buying a Foreclosure in Pleasanton or Dublin can be a great opportunity. A Short Sale in Dublin could be a great bargain.
