Least and Most Expensive Homes Sold in the Tri Valley 2013

Scale with Money and GoldIt’s always fun to see the extremes in a real estate market. Not unexpected, the least expensive homes sold were condos, but all of them were short sales. Livermore takes the prize for the least expensive in the Tri Valley as a region, but it was also the smallest home at just 1 bed/1 bath. Of the most expensive homes, only the one in Livermore sold at list price. Pleasanton weighs in with the most expensive sale for 2013 in the region.  Interestingly, none of these ‘extremes’ in terms of prices occurred in the last quarter of the year. Important to note that in some cases, the short sales actually were listed in 2012, but didn't close until 2013. And our market heated up drastically during 2013. (Did not include mobile homes in the criteria).
