I love the still waters/moving stream analogy! One other thing that buyers need to take into account is that they need to be prepared to jump in...They need to be completely pre approved and ready, because when the right property pops up, everything starts happening quickly.

What I try to help people realize is that many could not afford to buy a home 2-4 years ago because of the prices. Either they could not afford it or they were not willing to pay the prices for the homes that were available to them. I have clients just like that, they now have purchased a great home, for a great price, at a great time. They pruchased within their means and have a fixed rate on their loan, they know they will be able to continue to afford their payments as time goes on. I am concerned for some who are waiting for the market to "bottom out" or for those who are "seeing where the market goes" because once things really pick up it may be too late as, they may be priced out of the market. As Lee already mentioned there are homes in many cities that are getting multiple offers, and not just the homes priced under $500,000. As it has been mentioned in other blogs, it is very important to have a great agent in any type of market who is knowledgeable and can guide you through the home buying or selling process. Keep up the great work as usual. Adam Great job Julie,

Very Catchy. Some buyers just put their feet in first and are frustrated that they don't get that home. Purchasing a home in this fast paced market or as you put it "moving stream" takes their full attention. In San Bruno, South San Francisco and Daly City among other peninsula cities are seeing multiple offers within days. What I have noticed lately it is not just homes under $500,000 getting multiple offers. I love the “Real Estate Waters”. Very Catchy.
