Market Update

I have been attending open houses to better inform my clients how the market is going.

So here it is. The home I held open last month in my community Berryessa San Jose, California

Priced at $729,000 Tri Level home was a short sale and multiple offers. Since then a couple of homes have come on the maret and sold quickly, they were short sales also.

Of course they haven't closed yet due to the paperwork of lenders and banks, so the true sale price I have not seen yet.

Yesterday I went into a home that was listed for $829,000, this home had no sign, brand new listing and offers were due to come in last night.

This tells me, as I keep on saying.

  1. Distinguished schools do not suffer from market trends
  2. Neighborhood Realtors are the best suit for selling a home in a distinguished school areas

I have got to say the tri level I held open last month was of course needing a quick sale, but was the quick sale idea a good one?

When a smaller home sold just as quick with a $100,000 price fluctuation.

There was another home in this same neighborhood (different builder) that sold for $580,000 in a few short weeks, from a non neighborhood realtor.

So what does this mean for the sellers who are choosing to short sale their homes?

Do not hide from the inevitable, please make the choice and call a Realtor who is really knowledgable about where the home is, I can't help but think these sellers will be paying taxes on the deal the buyer got.

Oh and by the way the open house was really busy, yes the house that sold for $829,000.

My prayers are with those who are losing their homes. Please give me a call if I can help!

How do we get out of this Housing Mess?

If you ask any Foreclosed homeowner, they will tell you they wish they were more aware of where the market was headed.

If you ask any Banker they will say how can we get these homes back out to the buyers.

If you ask any buyer they would ask when will the market bottom out?

If you ask any Realtor they would be wondering the same as, all of the above.

Instead if sitting back and nobody having the answers we need to stand up and take action!

Making things happen is not for procratinators.

There need to be changes all the way from the consumer to the Lenders to the Realtors to the congressmen.

In my opinion, the show "Sleep on it" has potential to stimulate Buyers, even though there is much controversy over the way this show is perceived.

And this down time is great for Realtors to better sharpen thier expertise and get the most up to date education for those soon to be new questions due to all the negative effect this fall out has had on home sales.

Hopefully soon, all the Buyers do get motivated and realize they are the determinating factor in motivating the housing market.

So for all those Realtors out there that keep getting the question asked "When will the market bottom out?" you can reply, "Now is the time! if we've found that perfect home let write the offer."

To all the People who have lost thier homes, my heart goes out to you.

To those Corporate Lenders out there please step out of the Corporate box, educating the Buyers and Realtors may just be the thing to get this market re-motivated.

For those Buyers out there please don't wait to long.... There are too many homes sitting empty already.
