Today I held an open house at 585 Anchor Circle in Redwood Shores.
The home was listed just under one million dollars.
The activity was amazing. There were over 25 groups through during a three hour time frame.
What that tells me is the market in San Mateo County is strong and robust! These guests of this open house were not nosey neighbors wanting to see the inside of their neighbors house. All of these guests were bonafide buyers ready to purchase the home of their dreams!
I am also seeing licensed real estate agents showing their clients homes. This week alone there were 7 showings of the home in Redwood Shores.
When I see this sort of activity in the market place it tells me sales are on the upswing. With increased sales there is a decrease in inventories.
If you are looking to purchase a home this year now is the time to do it. If you don’t some other buyer(s) is going to buy your home. Now is the time to make a decision.

“The important thing is to learn a lesson every time you lose.” — John McEnroe, tennis champion
Four reasons why 2010 will continue to have challenges in the real estate markets:
1.) This is the year many Option ARM will reset.
2.) There is an ongoing collapse of the commercial real estate markets.
3.) Maybe the most important, Municipals defaults! Our cities and towns are running out of money.
4.) Loan Modifications are not working. Homeowners who see their homes valued $100,000 less than what they owe are more inclined to send in “Jingle Mail” to their lenders…that means send in keys and move out.
What is the culprit behind this? Unemployment! Marisa DiNatale of Moody’s Economy.com says “We think the extent of unemployment is the greatest risk to recovery. There is a lot of uncertainty surrounding policy next year. Firms are reluctant to hire until they know what fiscal policy is going to look like.” A wind down of government stimulus programs also presents a wild card of sorts for 2010.
If you know someone who owes more on their homes than what they are worth and they can’t sell it would you please tell them about this informative pamphlet found at Stop Foreclosure In San Mateo County? Or, they may call 24/7 to listen to a message that may help them. Call today, 650-568-1344.
