brentwood homes for sale: Brentwood Housing Market - 08/14/09 09:53 PM
Brentwood Housing Market. This report on home sales in Brentwood California is based Single Family Homes reported on the MLS as of August 13th 2009. Due to late reporting the numbers in this months Brentwood Market Report might vary slightly from Last Months Brentwood Market Report.

I have broken the Active Sales up into two categories of homes in Brentwood California.  I did all homes, which gave an average price per SF of $212.00 and really drove the numbers up.  Brentwood contains a number of high end properties with significant amounts of land, that can skew the numbers.  So I … (0 comments)

brentwood homes for sale: Cheap, Cheap, Cheap! Why does this bird have to spend more? - 05/30/09 12:13 AM
I have a client looking for the home on the low end (very low). He is a good guy and single. But he is a project type person with a lot of stuff (in some quarters called junk). He wants a decent sized lot and a single family home in Brentwood or Oakley. He has been Living in Brentwood for some time.
We have actually found several homes in his price range that he likes. The problem is he is getting a VA loan, and he had to shop around to get that with the DTI that he needs. So why … (0 comments)

brentwood homes for sale: Live Free or Die! – No it is not a Bruce Willis Movie! - 05/30/09 12:00 AM
“Live Free or Die” for those young people inflicted with a modern education is not a Bruce Willis movie. The full quote is: “Live Free or Die: Death is not the worst of evils.”
Today the sentiment might seem kind of radical; even scary. It could get a person put on the FBI watch list. Teachers or social workers might judge us as being a person with violent tendencies needing therapy. A more modern quote might be “Live Free or at Least with Government Assistance.”
I had always assumed this was a quote from the Revolutionary War. It is a quote … (0 comments)

brentwood homes for sale: Selling Short may not be that Short – But it can be a Bargain! - 05/24/09 12:28 PM
I wanted to compare Short Sale Figures to other type of sales. I selected to look at Brentwood as prices are stable compared to other markets and there are a number of sales this year to compare. These figures are all sales of Single Family Homes in Brentwood this year as of the MLS on May 23, 2009.

Short Sales are only selling for a little more than Bank Owned properties. The banks need to approve short sales and probably will not approve much less than market or what they can get for it if they sell it. Also, on … (0 comments)

brentwood homes for sale: Living in Brentwood – Dinner’s, Drive Ins, and Dives – The Silver Skillet - 05/23/09 08:46 PM
I have lived in East Contra Costa County for over 10 years and have been Living in Brentwood for over 3 and just found a new great family friendly restaurant: The Silver Skillet on Brentwood Blvd.
Last night my wife and I were heading out and the place we were going to was closed so we pulled in at this little spot we had never seen before. It only seats about 39 and is very down home, no chain here. The menu is eclectic mix of American and Mexican, but I would not describe it as a Mexican restaurant. They do … (0 comments)

brentwood homes for sale: Another Freebie – But it is a Pandora’s Box! - 05/18/09 07:43 PM
If you call me often you will hear some country western going in the background. This is my own personal internet “Johnny Cash” themed radio station. How do I get my own personal radio station? I go to Pandora!
Pandora is an internet radio station service working on what they call the Music Genome project. This involves them analyzing music and grouping it by type and style. The listener sets up stations based on a song or artist. Pandora then plays music that is identified in the same genome. You, the listener can give thumbs up or down to music to … (2 comments)

brentwood homes for sale: Making the Real Estate Process Easier – We Got Your Tools! - 05/15/09 01:48 PM
This post is for the Real Estate Professional and the Real Estate Consumer. When you get involved in a Real Estate transaction there is a lot of documents to sign. I have never counted how many signatures, initials, etc . . are involved, but it is a lot. Frequently you will be under a tight deadline to sign some of the documents.
In the past this meant someone has to travel or reams of fax paper, with all the associated problems of faxing large stacks of documents.
Now there is another solution; on-line electronic signatures. I use Docusign. It is a … (0 comments)

brentwood homes for sale: Watch out for those numbers pounding the table! Or the Bill James of Real Estate! - 05/10/09 11:40 PM
A good friend of mine is trail lawyer and when he was just out of law school and old hand told him, “When the facts are on your side pound home the facts; when emotion is on your side pound home the emotion; and when nothing is on your side pound on the table.”
Real estate is made up of two basic things: Numbers (facts) and emotions. Yes numbers are the only facts that matter in Real Estate. But you have to watch the numbers carefully.
I just watched 60 minutes and there was a profile on Bill James who wrote … (0 comments)

brentwood homes for sale: APPLE HILL – BRENTWOOD AT IT’S BEST! - 05/07/09 03:03 PM
Apple Hill is a small gated golf course community in Brentwood California. The issue posed to me was how Apple Hill home prices compare with homes for sale in Brentwood. Good question as it reminds us that home value is often driven by specific neighborhood.
I looked up home sales in Apple Hill on the MLS on and found only 1 sale for this year and 4 homes for sale. The scarcity of the properties speaks to the value of the homes in that area.
I completed a Market Report on Brentwood Home Prices based on the size of the home. … (0 comments)

brentwood homes for sale: Brentwood Homes are Selling like Popcorn! - 04/21/09 03:45 PM
I often tell Home Buyers that homes are like movie theater popcorn. When you go large you get more for your money, at least in terms of unit cost.
My primary market is East Contra Costa County; including the cities of Bay Point, Pittsburg, Antioch, Oakley, Brentwood, Discovery Bay, and other small communities. To demonstrate my point I did a study on the City of Brentwood. My April Market Report on Brentwood, and My March Market Report on Brentwood the Brentwood Real Estate Market appeared the most stable. This is best for looking at large numbers of a longer period. I … (0 comments)

brentwood homes for sale: I've Gone Public with this! (Formerly Titled: Should I go public with this!) - 04/06/09 12:05 PM
People have suggested I publish this on the public side.  Not just for Realtors so here it is.  I want to emphasis that I sympathize with most people that are foreclosed on.  I have had my financial challenges in the last several years too.
I’m going on another rant and not sure if I should post this on the public side. I am really ticked off by what I see people doing to homes when they are foreclosed on. Wait before you tune out. I am going to suggest a solution at the end of this.
We have all seen or … (3 comments)

brentwood homes for sale: Paying for Risk Avoidance When Home Buying! - 04/03/09 02:05 PM
One of the most frustrating experiences for buyers is when they find a great home at a great price. Frequently these are Bank Owned Homes priced low to attract multiple offers. The bank gets multiple offers then sends out a multiple offer counter asking each potential buyer to put in the highest and best offer they can.
Buyers love the thought of getting one of those cheap Bank Owned Homes, but when there is a low priced high quality home everyone sees it. There is no secret or special deal and this is the part buyers hate. They want the property, … (0 comments)
