MARKET STATISTICS – HAYWARD AND CASTRO VALLEY 10-30-11 - 10/30/11 11:37 AM
The market statistics for Hayward and Castro Valley show results in two contiguous communities with different personalities. Hayward is a much larger city with a population that is over 140,000. Castro Valley is an unincorporated community with a population that is slightly over 60,000. One of the attractions for Castro Valley home buyers is excellent schools.
As can be expected, Hayward has far more homes listed for sale than Castro Valley. What is striking is the relative balance in the percentages of REO and short sales for single family detached homes in both cities compared to the large difference … (3 comments)

CUSTOM CARS AT DINO'S GRILL IN NEWARK, CA. - 10/28/11 10:35 PM
I went down to the shopping center at the intersection of Jarvis Ave. and Newark Blvd. to get my hair cut. I drove into the lot by Dino’s Grill
and what should I find but collection of cars from members of the Classic Cruisers car club.
The car owners gather every Friday evening at Dino’s for dinner and to enjoy each other's company. These car guys are a special breed. One guy told me that he owned his Model A Ford over twenty years.
He has had it apart and put it back together again at … (6 comments)

MARKET STATISTICS - FREMONT - NEWARK, CA. 10-27-11 - 10/27/11 10:10 PM
Market Statistics for Fremont and Newark, Ca. 10-27-11
Fremont and Newark real estate prices and statistics tend to track fairly closely. Fremont is a much larger city with a population that is approximately 6 times the population of Newark. I think that you can gather the size disparity from the number of listings in the respective cities posted below. Newark and Fremont real estate is also not comparable in all price ranges. Newark does not possess the above million dollar homes that can be found in Fremont. Prior to the real estate bubble bursting you could pay over a million dollars for a Newark home … (1 comments)

DOES HARP GIVE HOPE…OR IS IT MORE OF THE SAME OLD…? - 10/26/11 04:26 AM
Does HARP give hope or is it more of the same old same-old?
Are the recently announced revisions to the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) going to make a MAJOR difference to the many underwater home owners that are being led to believe that they are being thrown a life-line? I don’t think so.
For those who are already facing foreclose the revisions are meaningless. Criteria number one is that the mortgage has to be paid current. Not happening if you are already facing foreclosure!
Your home loan must be held by Fannie Mae or … (0 comments)

MARKET STATISTICS –FREMONT, CA. 10-25-11 - 10/25/11 11:54 PM
The inventory of available homes has changed over the last month in the Fremont real estate market. Single family listings have declined by more than 10% while listings of condos and townhouses have shown less of a drop-off. What does this mean? It is not enough of a sample to know. I will follow the numbers and see if there is a trend. The number of listings can be influenced by the time of the year. They are certainly influenced by the economy.
In the case of single family detached homes, more that 50% of the listed properties are “normal” … (3 comments)

Debe Maxwell, an agent from Charlotte, NC., has some valuable suggestions about listening to what our clients are saying. We have heard many times that we have to listen. Do we do it?
Via Debe Maxwell - Search Charlotte Homes for Sale - Charlotte NC Neighborhoods (iCharlotteRealEstate.com Savvy + Company Real Estate):

The myth of "the steal" in real estate... - 10/16/11 11:59 AM
Jerry Murphy, an Anthem, AZ, agent has written a great post about why low-ball offers are most likely to fail. I am sure that we all have run into buyers with whom we would like to share this information.
Via Jerry Murphy, Anthem AZ Real Estate (Long Real Estate):
Since the beginning of the down turn in the real estate market real estate agents have been innundated with buyers who are looking for "a steal". Well, here's reality folks. It doesn't exist.
You see, unlike securities whose value are based on future earnings, or collectibles, whose value is based on the scarcity of … (2 comments)
