Now, if you've driven around Morgan Hill lately you've noticed much new construction. It seems as though new homes are sprouting out of the ground faster than you can turn around.
Some buyers prefer new construction while others prefer one that's been lived in a while to work all the kinks out … (2 comments)

I had SO much fun hosting the 7779 Isabella Way Open House today and I'm excited to be there again tomorrow!
I wrote about the open house earlier this week ( http://activerain.com/blogsview/4235878/open-house-saturday-11-2- ) and am happy to report it was a great event!
The weather here in Gilroy was terrific and I had the opportunity to meet many of the neighbors who live in this senior community of Village Green. The cottages (where this home is) are detached, single family homes built around 2004. They average around 1300 square feet and have a little land for your personal touches. … (0 comments)

house: What a Difference a Street Makes!
- 10/23/13 03:39 PM
Is that home in the good part of town? How's the neighborhood? Is it safe? What areas should I avoid?
Realtors are asked some variation of these questions daily and they're important questions. So important in fact that the purchase agreement (in California) includes time for the buyer to investigate and decide for themselves.
In addition to conducting inspections on the home and deciding on school districts, accessibility to stores, medical facilities and so on, BUYERS MUST DECIDE if the area meets their needs and standards.
Resources for checking out the neighborhood: When representing buyers, I recommend … (4 comments)
I hear this question more than any other and the answer depends on many factors. What's your interest in the market? If you're a buyer, you have a different perspective than a seller - unless you're the seller as well.
Since real estate touches many people, let's not overlook small businesses, mortgage, escrow and other companies who are also impacted by how the market is going. Don't forget to add in schools and other area infrastructure.
What's clear is there's never an end to the speculation surrounding real estate. Be wary … (6 comments)

house: Morgan Hill Residential Market Trends through September 2013
- 10/13/13 02:44 AM
Our Morgan Hill Housing Market Remains Active! Morgan Hill seems to be bursting at the seams with all the new homes being built, and there's more than new construction! We have cottages, condos and more ranging up to ranches and exclusive estate homes. At the end of September 2013, the dollar volume of homes actively for sale plus those in some stage of escrow was nearly $142 million. On the evening of 11 October, there were 74 single family homes in addition to the 19 condos / townhomes actively for sale. As fall progresses, so does the housing market … (0 comments)

In addition to all the great food and beverage offerings, many vendors showcased items for purchase ranging from garden decorations to homes.
There was room for about 160 classic cars since the downtown area was closed to traffic. I've heard some event goers say they come every year for that portion alone but decided to venture further this year.
I can see why with so many to many to stop and look over!
Beginning tomorrow morning many of the streets in downtown Morgan Hill will be open only to foot traffic. The No parking signs are out and the banners announcing the event are up! Very soon we will smell the food and hear the excited voices of neighbors mingling downtown sharing special moments.
Just as we did last year, Alain Pinel Realtors on Monterey Road at Fourth Street will be holding a contest to guess the weight of a great pumpkin. You could win a prize if your guess … (0 comments)
Every year around 50,000 of our closest friends and neighbors come together during the last weekend of September to enjoy a classic car show, musical groups, local exhibits and, of course - food & beverages.
Parking and admission is free during this event and you're encouraged to wear comfortable shoes! In addition to the food exhibits, downtown restaurants will be open.
You'll find the event on Monterey Road between Dunne and Main. If you're not from around these parts yet, just ask and we'll be happy to point you … (4 comments)
Imagine a community where no two homes are the same - really.
There are no large developments or subdivisions.
The data presented in this report does what it can to provide trends on dissimilar and noncomparable properties based on the area many call home. This is important to readers so they know a housing market thrives here, it's just a little different than others.
Morgan Hill added over 60 new listings in August 2013 to help arrive at the total metrics shown in this chart.
Of those homes making their way to the market, seven were under $400,000 and nine were over one million dollars; that leaves a lot in the middle.
There's always a housing market and you might be surprised by the results! The Seller's market we've experienced is showing signs of decline as we go into the cooler months.
As you've probably heard, the housing market in Gilroy continues to be a Seller's market. Pending (in escrow) and closed sales have reduced some signaling a shift in the market pace.
Gilroy homes for sale range in age from new construction to over 110 years old. With the changes in construction developed over the years, there is much to choose from.
Homes range from 1 bedroom, 1 bath to 5 bedrooms and plenty of bathrooms to go around. … (2 comments)
Since the school year is upon us, this seems like a good time to reinforce some of the added benefits of owning your home. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR) Field Guide to the Benefits of Home Ownership, your home is more than a roof over your head. Let me know if you would like a copy of the full guide. Higher Academic Achievement ranks first in the 'NAR Field Guide' in part because renters move more frequently than home owners. Not moving tends to add to stability. More Cohesive … (4 comments)
house: Showing Homes and Latchkey Kids; 7 Tips to Safeguard These Valuables
- 08/19/13 11:38 PM
When parents go to work, who's answering the door? School is back in session depending on where you live. That likely means your home for sale is available for showings without interruption to your family life.
What about when the kids are home? Sometimes when a home is for sale, people other than agents and inspectors will "stop by" a home. Some of these visits are legitimate buyers - others are not.
Frequently children under the age of 18 are the ones who open the door when agents come to show homes. One of the key points … (12 comments)
house: Residential Market Trends for San Martin, California - July 2013
- 08/17/13 01:41 PM
Curious about the housing market in San Martin? If you aren't from around these parts, these trends may seem very strange. San Martin is a close-nit community in the unincorporated area between Gilroy and Morgan Hill. Residents who call San Martin home represent an integral part of Santa Clara County in all aspects; least of which is real estate.
