Pleasanton, CA Forclosures are on the rise. Over the past several months due to a moratorium on foreclosed properties, these “for sale” properties have been far and few between not only in Pleasanton, but nationwide. We currently have 7-active bank owned/foreclosed properties on the market in Pleasanton and although for many communities this number is extremely low, for Pleasanton, this is on the high end.
At current, there are 7 “active” foreclosed properties available ranging from $334,900 to $2,100,000 located in the Ruby Hill community. The smallest of the 7-available properties was recently used as a business location near downtown.
Based on the pattern of the last 12-months, I suspect these properties will be pending within a matter of days. For homebuyers thinking of purchasing, the best advice to take heed…get pre approved by your lender of choice because in this market, once you fnd the property, acting quickly and wisely with the professional you feel most secure with is your best strategy.

Pleasanton CA, as of January 4, 2010 there are only 116 TOTAL Properties on the market in Pleasanton according to the Multiple Listing Service. This includes Single Family Homes (SFR), Condo and Townhomes! Just before the holidays we had 102 Single Family Homes alone!! Here’s how the market is currently stacking up:
86-Single Family Homes priced from the low of $399,000 up to the high of $8,888,888
15-Condos priced from the low of $170,000 up to the high of $395,000
14-Town Homes from the low of $189,000 up to the high of $468,000
The shortage of homes available on the market continues to be the trend. We are beginning to see a trickling of Bank Owned (aka, REO, Foreclosed) properties come to the market; one being in the Shadow Cliff neighborhood of Pleasanton, located on Whitney Drive.
The First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit is still in affect until April 2010 and FHA loans continue to be accessible allowing for down payment Requirements (as low as 3.5%).
If you’ve been on the fence about selling, this is most definitely a good time to make a move. The market is begging for more properties!

There is not too much to say other then it looks like Congress will extend the first-time homebuyers’ tax credit.
The vote is expected next week. The credit will give people who buy a home $8,000 and lawmaker say this will be the last extension.

There is not too much to say other then it looks like Congress will extend the first-time homebuyers’ tax credit.
The vote is expected next week. The credit will give people who buy a home $8,000 and lawmaker say this will be the last extension.
“Tax credits like this only work by creating the sense of urgency to take advantage of them and to bring the market back. So the American people and the homebuyers of the United States and the potential home sellers have an opportunity in the next seven months to take advantage of a once in a lifetime credit.”
The House and Senate both have to approve the extension before President Obama can sign it into law. Make sure you dont miss the boat!
You know, it’s funny. In the last year or so, the Real Estate industry or Business, whatever you want to call it has been a hot topic, even more than usual.

You know, it’s funny. In the last year or so, the Real Estate industry or Business, whatever you want to call it has been a hot topic, even more than usual.
I have worked in this industry for ten years through the “hay day” and into the “new” market. What has changed? Well…
For me not a whole lot We still are a service based industry. I never considered myself a salesperson, the agents that I have trained can attest to that. We don’t have anything to sell, our clients do, nor do we have anything to buy. I am still the same Consultant and Facilitator that I was before, only now I am in higher demand.
When I meet with a client for the first time the meeting is the same now as it was 3 or 7 years ago, I let them know that my job is to explain the realities of the market and make them a better buyer or seller. Staying current on trends on my market area and being a strong negotiator are valuable in any economy.
Real Estate is fun to talk about whether you really do know what you are talking about, or think you know what you are talking about. Just turn on the news and there it is, but what are they saying? When they are giving you national housing statitics do they really matter to you? The answer is, it depends. Every area has its own market so while it is interesting to watch the news and listen to the talking heads read the teleprompter, think to yourself does this apply to my market? What are we seeing?
Like I said, I am still doing the same job I have always done, with ethics and integrity as my compass and I know that I am not alone because most of the same people that I started in this industry with that were here before me and taught me some of these lessons are still here too doing the same job too, and the ones that never learned them are no longer here. I guess that is what is “new” in this market.
