The Santa Cruz real estate market has been showing signs of life all over with more showings and activity. We have been seeing health in the Santa Cruz market, in most all areas, exept the high end. The south county area has been red hot for Santa Cruz county home buyers and investors. I have been getting more calls for Rio Del Mar homes, with many wanting to be close to the beach. Is that a surprise, with such fabulous weather that we been having!

The year to year prices have come down as expected. Many buyers have been getting off the side lines and the inventory level have been going down as a result of the sales activity. We are finding it common to see multiple offers now, particularly with homes under $600,000 in many areas of Santa Cruz- Aptos. There are still good values, but many things are under contract now. Don't wait. Search for homes here at www. cacoastalhome.com or at www.propertyinsantacruz.com
