Pleasanton Real Estate Trends: "This is NOT a short sale or REO!!!!!"

Looking at the financial headlines today, September 16 2009, there seems to be more and more evidence that the economy is on the mend.

On the news today:

"Industrial production rises" http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Stocks-jump-as-industrial-apf-1098559674.html?x=0&sec=topStories&pos=4&asset=&ccode=

"Wage growth for those with jobs" http://finance.yahoo.com/career-work/article/107745/wages-grow-for-those-with-jobs-new-figures-show.html?mod=career-salary_negotiation

"Bernacke says Recession most likely over" http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090916/ts_afp/financeeconomyusyearbernankerecession_20090916070947

These were the news at the national level, but a little bit closer to my hometown of Pleasanton California, as I keep tabs at the Real Estate market (and please note that every Real Estate market is local), I look for every "clue" and indication of how the Real Estate market here is doing.

An interesting trend has emerged in the last few months, as I look at the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) for Pleasanton, I have noticed that quite a few agents have started to make it a point to note on the MLS that the home they have listed is "not a short sale or REO".

Part of the reason of course is so that it cuts down the number of phone calls to the agent asking: "is this a short sale or reo?", but part of the reason is also the fact that there is not that many short sales or REO's in Pleasanton! Another positive sign on the economic horizon? Only time will tell...

Meanwhile, I will be bringing a home on the market soon. By the way, it is not a short sale or REO!!

Pleasanton's "The Gates" Neighborhood Offers Great Homes And Convienient Location!

It is very interesting! We humans give just the right names to areas (like "long beach", it IS a looong beach!!!) or neighborhoods, and then the names just stick because they make perfect sense.

Such is the case with "The Gates" neighborhood in Pleasanton California. From Fort McHenry on the East coast to the Sutter's Fort right here in California the streets in the neighborhood are named after historic military forts (McHenry Gate, Sutter Gate, Laramie Gate, etc).

Pleasanton has beautiful homes and neighborhoods, and "The Gates" is no exception. It is located on the North part of the town, within easy proximity to Highways 580 and 680 and the Dublin/Pleasanton BART station. The homes in "The Gates" neighborhood of Pleasanton were mostly built in the early 1970's, with the last homes built around 1986.

"The Gates" neighborhood is very popular because of its central location just off of Santa Rita road, and access to transportation, shopping, and the excellent schools of Pleasanton. Homes in the neighborhood are in the $700K to $1MM range.

Homes in "The Gates" neighborhood are well kept and quite a few of the homes have been remodeled.

To view all the homes available for sale in Pleasanton please visit my website. I update the information from the MLS with all the current listings in Pleasanton and the surrounding area every 30 minutes, so no "stale" information on listings here!!
