How much do I offer?
Ok, you find a house and now like to make an offer, but how much? Don’t think just because it’s a short sale or REO that you can offer 20% or so lower than the asking price. Do your homework, study your market, and find out what the market value of the property is. Discuss it with your realtor. Generally, if the property has been on the market for months and specially if it hasn’t had a price reduction, you would have a stronger position to negotiate. Don’t be surprised to see multiple offers and overbidding on short sales and REOs in today’s market. Sometimes, the listing agents list the property at lower than the true market value to create activities and multiple offer situations. So, talk to your realtor and make a reasonable and realistic offer.
GOOD LUCK!

Is the Bay Area real estate market on its way back up or is it still coasting down?
On June 25th the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® reported that home sales increased 18.1 percent in May in California compared with the same period a year ago, while the median price of an existing home fell 35.3 percent. So is that good news or bad for S.F. bay area real estate market? It depends.
If you need to sell your home the bad news is that your home may have given back any appreciation it had made over the last three years. The good news is that if you have owned your home for more than three years you should realize a gain on your home sale; it just won’t be at the top of the market. If you are selling your home to buy another, then more good news, your next home will cost less than it would have a year ago.
Have you thought of buying investment property in the past but the numbers just didn’t make sense? Good news, with the decrease in the prices of homes and the strong rental market due to over extended home owners returning to the rental market you can once again find properties that can generate enough income to cover expenses and offer good returns on future appreciation.

Despite all the confusing information in the media, the best news I got from the California Association of Realtors report was that home sales have increased. Real estate operates on the law of supply and demand and as the number of home sales increase, inventory will begin selling off and prices will once again return to stability and the long term appreciation will occur as it has always done in the past.
San Bruno 4th of July
San Bruno Fourth of July
San Bruno Fourth of July is always a lot of fun for its residents and visitors alike. Safe and sane firework sales go to non profit organizations throughout San Bruno. We were at our friend’s house on San Bruno Ave. the whole evening and had such a blast with 4 other families and our kids. We did fireworks in their driveway and celebrated with chile con carne, potatoe salad and nachos. Mmmmmm…good!
Not only are fireworks and barbecues a BIG and exciting draw for our city but we have the BEST Pee Wee Baseball tournaments for miles! This past July 4th, 5th and 6th our San Bruno 10U and 8U teams won their championships and we are PROUD! We were supporting our friends the whole weekend at San Bruno Park and Parkside Middle School from 8 am to 5pm each day. The weekend was full of sun, fun and PLENTY of BASEBALL!
