Surge of Multiple Offers in San Mateo~Did you know...$8000 Tax Credit and Higher Conforming Limit are Expiring?

I was conducting research for clients looking to invest in the City of San Mateo on a desirable neighborhood (west side of El Camino) and was informed that a 2bd/2ba home had received 7 offers. I believe the offer accepted was well over the asking price and there was a back up offer. I am seeing this on specific homes that are priced well, in a favorable neighborhood in good condition. This high level of interest is caused by historically low~long term fixed interest rates, FHA financing with low down, soon to expire higher conforming limit (729K) and the soon to expire~first time buyer $8000 tax credit that doesn't need to be pay back to the feds.

For further information on San Mateo County's housing market..where is our Real Estate Market today (by City/Neighborhood) and the near term, as well as to receive invaluable information and resources from Loans, Tax Incentives/Credits to how to profit from Fixer Uppers...
