In any social setting once people find out you're a REALTOR, invariably the question asked is always "How's the real estate market doing?"

Fortunately for us who work for Alain Pinel Realtors, our hard-working Marketing Department provide us with such excellent resources to answer such questions. This is the latest local market report for the areas  fanning out from Oakland CA. This photo is of Lake Merritt in Oakland, CA. I can see Noble Tower  building where my folks live, facing the lake. How cool is that :)

The housing market is always changing. In order to understand the dynamics of the local market, a familiarity with timely industry data is essential.

Located to the east of the San Francisco and San Pablo bays, the East Bay is a unique real estate environment, unlike any other in the country. While some news sources offer a big picture look at real estate markets, they don't accurately represent what is happening in the distinctive Alameda, Berkeley, El Cerrito, Emeryville, Lafayette, Moraga, Oakland and Orinda marketplaces. Our market reports help you make educated real estate decisions by providing you with accurate, insightful and current market statistics.
