Bay Area Housing Market Remains Steady, New Report Shows

Image
Summer vacation season is upon us and with it, the usual slowdown in activity. Vacations, graduations, weddings and other events divert buyers’ and sellers’ attention from real estate. Nonetheless, the Bay Area’s housing market continues to move ahead with sales edging higher and prices climbing steadily compared to this time last year. A report released this week by DataQuick, the La Jolla-based real estate information firm, found that the median price for new and existing home sales last month in the Bay Area rose 11.4 percent to $618,000 compared to June 2013. The biggest increase was 14.9 percent in San Mateo County, and the highest median price was once again in San Francisco, which hit the $1 million mark. Sales edged 0.2 percent higher from last June to 7,915 units with the biggest gains in San Francisco, which recorded a 6.4 percent increase in transactions. The biggest decline was reported in Alameda County with a 3.6 percent year-over-year drop. What’s driving the hig...

Tight Inventory Still Holding Back Bay Area Home Sales

Image
All the ingredients for a red-hot housing market in the Bay Area are there – a robust economy, tech companies that are churning out high-paying jobs, very strong demand from well-qualified buyers, and home prices that are climbing at a healthy pace. The only thing that’s missing is enough homes for anxious buyers to purchase. While inventory has edged up in some areas lately, it’s still way too low to satisfy buyer demand, and that’s clearly having an impact on sales.

Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Ranks #1 in Bay Area

Image

Janice Lee Real Estate Insights - May 2014

Image
An interesting week of real estate indeed. So, I've always known that it is important to be nice to other agents and to build relationships with our peers! In a seller's market, it is more important than ever to work with a competent and likable agent - it goes a long way. People want to work with people they like. Be a pain or rude and your agent can kill your deal unless your offer is significantly higher than another offer.

Housing Market 'Firing on Most Cylinders' - Especially the Luxury Market

Image
  Forbes magazine in its most recent issue ran an interesting article taking a good hard look at the nation’s housing market at the mid-year point. It’s conclusion, as the headline proclaims, the market is “firing on most cylinders.” The article notes that despite a slight pullback in June, the first half of the year has seen favorable underlying trends in all three of the important metrics: New construction starts were up 24% in the first half of 2013 compared with the first half of 2012. Existing home sales (excluding foreclosures and short sales) were up 32% year-over-year in June. And the delinquency and foreclosure rate was down 14% year-over-year in June. “Overall, the housing market is in healthy shape,” the article declares. The publication notes that home prices climbed “steeply” in the first half of the year, outpacing rents, but are “far from bubble territory.” Forbes does acknowledge higher interest rates are a concern, but notes that the increase i...

California Neighborhood Spotlight: Oakland

Image
Once considered San Francisco’s ugly stepsister, Oakland is now the Cinderella of the East Bay. Last year, The New York Times shocked many by ranking the city no. 5 on its list of “The 45 Places to Go in 2012” (in between heavyweights London and Tokyo), beating out traditional California hotspots San Diego (no. 14) and Lake Tahoe (no. 30).  “New restaurants and bars beckon amid the grit,” touted the article, which was invariably followed up with a San Francisco Bay Guardian cover asking, “Is Oakland cooler than San Francisco?” and The Globe and Mail article calling it “the Brooklyn of the West.” “Oakland has everything that San Francisco has—diversity, art and history, music, folksy neighborhoods, new and happening restaurants, night life, sports teams and venues, outstanding architecture, outdoor recreation and park lands, a world class science center just to name a few—but with better weather, at a fraction of the cost, lower density and a central location for ...
