Closed Sales of Homes in Los Gatos: Yes, The Numbers Are Down
2008-11-04 03:13:00 How is the Los Gatos real estate market doing? For many homesellers in Los Gatos (and Silicon Valley generally), and for their Realtors, the real estate market is extremely challenging right now. Buyers have been wary for many months already, but now they're concerned about a recession and job losses, not just the possibility of a real estate sales price that won't hold its value later. It is a deepening buyers market overall, but especially within the market for single family homes. So what is happening with Los Gatos home sales? Inventory is rising among single family homes and condos and townhomes. Right now there are 197 single family homes for sale (it was over 200 last week) and 44 condominiums or townhomes.

Sacramento County Real Estate Market Update: Single Family Homes
2008-08-12 15:24:00 I just gave myself the biggest fright: while checking statistics for Sacramento county in the MLS, I incorrectly ended up checking sales on only July 1st instead of the entire month of July.

So - now with the right numbers and another swig of this homemade Starbucks - on to the real statistics...Median price has fallen again to $215,000 from June's $220,000. Days on market remain at 49. 1968 homes sold in the month of July and pending homes are at almost the same number as June: 2064.Perhaps the biggest change is how many new listings came on the market: almost three times the amount as in June: 3903. There seems to be evidence that the market is beginning to absorb these however: there are a total of 8005 active homes in Sacramento county but inventory is down to 4 months from June's 4.6 months.Follow the numbers: June's real estate ...

Foreclosed homes bring stinky pools and health warnings!
2008-06-10 22:46:00 Foreclosed homes bring stinky pools and health warnings! Saw this article today from Florida Association of Realtors and the South Florida Sun-Sentinel about the number of dirty pools in Florida due to foreclosures and it struck home. From what I've seen it is not just foreclosures that end up with that as an issue. As you know if you read this blog at all, we now do a large number of short sales and distressed properties and it seems like the VERY first thing to go when homeowners are cutting back and considering having to short sell is....the pool guy!! :-) And a lot of the property management companies that banks use to sell their REO property may have the lawn mowed but never hire pool care. The OTHER thing I have learned is that, particularly down here in Paradise, you stop putting chemicals in the pool and even if you run the pump night and day it will be green in about a week to ten days. When they let the electricity go off and...
