Mortgage and Market Update
Economic News...Back to a week of mixed data but the Stock Market continues to pretty much ignore negative news and move higher.

The manufacturing sector contracted a bit in April with both production and capacity utilization easing. Weekly Jobless Claims jumped unexpectedly to 360K after being range bound for the last few weeks around the 330K level. Inflation concerns continue to be muted and Consumer … (4 comments)

real estate: Blackhawk Country Club Real Estate Bulletin - 04/01/13 11:08 AM
Well the first quarter of 2013 is over so it is time to take a look at how the real estate market in Blackhawk Country Club performed versus the same period a year ago.

In 2013 the average days on … (2 comments)

The Real Estate Market in Dublin and San Ramon certainly enjoyed an active 2012. The entire 680 Corridor Real Estate Market seemed to come alive at the end of the first quarter.

real estate: Alamo CA 2011 Real Estate Review - 01/13/12 09:46 AM
The following numbers represent the Real Estate Market Review of homes sold in 2011 versus 2010 for Alamo, CA 94507. The Alamo market, while experiencing a slowdown in unit sales, has seen pricing and marketing times holding steady. The attached home information varies greatly as the data sample is too small to really reach any conclusions but we can certainly see that median pricing was under pressure.
