overview Today I reviewed the Mountain View's Single Family Real Estate market of April 2008 compared to April 2009 shows some interesting economic changes:
1.) The homes inventory rose to 101 this year from last year's 55.The sold homes are grow from 15 last April to 20 this year.
2.) The average price of Mountain View homes this year has lowered to $860,400 from last years' $1,106,718. The median price on Mountain View homes has dropped from $1,072,625 to $837,500.
3.) It takes average 52 days to sell a Mountain View home, but last April was 29 days.
With all the numbers that show this month we have almost double the Mountain View homes for sale and about 5 more homes actually sold. The average and median price for
Mountain View homes both dropped about 20% from last April to this April. The price dropped due to a lot of lower end homes as short sales and REO (bank owned) homes sold. The above information came from the multiple listing services www.reil.com

This morning I received a call out of blue.."Is this Grace? I want to know t the status of your listing so and so? I said:" It is fine!" I asked :" Are you an agent or a buyer?" He said "Buyer." He continued on:" Instead of wasting your time, Can I ask you to write an offer for $1.2 Million?" I was shocked! " You want discount $268,000. No way! It is below the comps." He said: "What is comps? It does not mean anything!" Of course we end the conversion quickly. The buyers call the listing agent to offer a ridiculous low price and wish to get home for about 20% lower than the asking price. I was speechless...
1st point: All real estate offer needs to be in writing to be effect.
2nd point: There is no such a easy flip opportunity under the sun.
3rd point: Buyers who intend to hire the listing agent. Do they know the pitfalls of the dual agency?
