East Bay Mortgage & Market Update for July 15th 2011
Economic News: The good news for this week is that lower energy costs have eased inflation worries. This was apparent in the results of both the Producer Price Index as well as the Consumer Price Index. Retail Sales either matched or beat expectations and Jobless Claims improved over last week but remain above the 400,000 threshold. Lastly, the consumer is not too happy as Consumer Sentiment fell to 63.8 from an expected 71. This represents a two year low. Keep a sharp eye out on what is happening in Europe with … (4 comments)

east bay real estate news: San Ramon CA Real Estate Market Review 2011 Versus 2010 thru June - 07/08/11 12:10 PM
The following numbers represent the Real Estate Market Review of homes sold for the first six months of 2011 versus the same period of 2010 for San Ramon, CA.

Keep in mind that real estate markets are local in nature and there will be micro markets in every town.  The activity in the San Ramon market has experienced small dip in unit sales in the single family home space while pricing has remained consistent. The opposite is true in the market for attached homes where unit sales have increased, at the lower end, dragging down the median price.

The following numbers represent the Real Estate Market Review of homes sold for the first six months of 2011 versus the same period in 2010 for Danville, CA.

The Danville real estate market has started out the first half of 2011 almost exactly as the same period in 2010. Stable marketing times, pricing and unit sales describe the market perfectly. The market in attached homes has somewhat underperformed versus the same period last year.

east bay real estate news: Blackhawk CA 94506 Real Estate Market Review 2011 Versus 2010 January thru June - 07/08/11 08:36 AM
The following numbers represent the Real Estate Market Review of homes sold for the first six months of 2011 compared with the same period in 2010 for Blackhawk, CA 94506.

Keep in mind that real estate markets are local in nature and there will be micro markets in every town. Blackhawk has seen a bit of a fall off in unit sales thus far this year but the median price has experienced a nice rise. I would not put too much weight on the attached homes at this point since the data sample is so small. There have been several large estates sold in the last … (2 comments)

The following numbers represent the Real Estate Market Review of homes sold for the first six months of 2011 versus the same time period in 2010 for Alamo, CA 94507.

Keep in mind that real estate markets are local in nature and there will be micro markets in every town.

The attached home information varies greatly as the data sample is too small to really reach any conclusions.
