pleasanton ca real estate: Pleasanton Ridge Open Space Expansion - 09/19/07 03:42 AM
The East Bay Regional Park Distirict has announced a plan to add almost 1500 acres to the Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park. With a generous donation from Curtis Priem of Fremont, who is contributing $1.75 million to the total purchase price of $6.63 million, the Pleasanton Ridge Park will add a vital piece of land bordering Sunol and Niles Canyon Road, as well as an additional staging area further South on Foothill Rd. It will also bring the district one step closer to their long term plan of linking the Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park with the Mission Peak Open Space.

pleasanton ca real estate: A Title that No City Wants.... - 09/19/07 03:39 AM
It's usually good to be first, but for Stocton, the news is not good. Stockton was just named the foreclosure capital of the U.S., with the highest foreclosure rate of any U.S. city. There have been 8000 foreclosures year to date. There are currently 2800 homes on the market in Stockton, a city with a population of 285,000. To put this in perspective, Pleasanton has a population of 68,000, and currently has 220 homes on the market.
Or put another way, if we had the same relative level of inventory and rate of foreclosures as Stockton does, we would have 700 homes … (1 comments)

pleasanton ca real estate: Affordability & Liquidity - 09/11/07 01:07 PM
I get asked a lot about the local Pleasanton, Dublin & Tri-Valley real estate market, and how long this slump is going to last.  In my opinion, I see the current slump lasting a while longer.  In 1989, when I started selling real estate, the market peaked after strong appreciation in the late 1980's.  Once the market corrected (which took a couple of years), we entered a stagnant period where prices remained relatively flat, before we finally started to see appreciation around 1996.  My best guess (and, after all, it is only a guess) is that we are in for a … (0 comments)

pleasanton ca real estate: Pleasanton Market Update - Slow Spead Ahead - 09/11/07 01:06 PM
The August numbers are in for the Pleasanton real estate market, and the market has definitely slowed.  The available inventory of single family homes ended the month at 220, up from 206 at the end of July.  Fortunately, this is still relatively low given the circumstances, and the fact that inventory has remained stable has helped mitigate the weakness in the market.  There were 44 pending sales in the month of August, which is down from 54 at the end of July and 67 at the end of June.  With inventory trending up and sales slowing, the market has certainly slowed. … (0 comments)
