Personal Market Forecast - February 22, 2006 Looking back 2001-2005 we'll remember it as the time we had really low rates and properties prices went up too fast. 2006 is a year that is still not understood. However I do still believe that as long as you are buying something you plan to live in for at least 5 years, you won't lose money. Simply because the demographic factors are on your side. Demand for housing is strong, and will remain so, supply of new housing is constrained. CAR states that demand for 2006 will be 250,000 units and supply will be at 200,000 units. So buy if you like the property, and don't if you don't like it. However if you are buying a home less than $700K, please play with the Rent vs. Buy Spreadsheet so understand the assumptions necessary for you to be better off in buying.Personal Market Forecast - August 8, 2006 It's definitely become a buyer's market, however, there has been no free fall in the value of homes. My advice continues to be that people need to live in homes, because there is an intangible worth in living in a home that you own. So I'll say again, if you like the property- Buy It, and don't if you don't like it.Personal Market Forecast - May 25, 2007 The market is currently location and segment sensitive. San Francisco and most of the peninsula continue to be short on supply and plenty of buyers, with selling prices going over listing. The same can be said of the Mission Area in Fremont. However, the low end market is suffering, specifically the condo market. Since sub-prime lending is gone, a segment of the entry level buyers is effectively gone from the demand equation. The only way the low end can improve is by new lending standards on "A" paper, which I don't see happening or lower interests, which is also not happening near term. So I expect continued weakness in the low end, mixed results in the middle, and strength in the high end, especially for neighborhoods dominated by schools.Personal Market Forecast - July 15, 2007 The market seemed to be in a lull the last 30 days, but looks to be picking up again. If you're buying in the east bay outside of Fremont's Mission School's District, you'll find it easier to buy. What that means is you'll be able to bargain and multiple opportunities to view the property. It doesn't mean you chop 10% off the price it sold for last year. If you want to do that go to Stockton, Mountain house and other outlying areas. Good luck and call me if you want me to help you find some bargains.Choosing a Realtor® Searching for your dream home can be a time-consuming experience. Working with a professional Realtor will make the process much more efficient.
