San Bruno Farmer’s Market is a GREAT success!
If you haven’t heard, the San Bruno Farmer’s Market started on Sunday, June 21st and is continuing every Sunday through October from 10-2pm! Downtown Sundays will have live music, fresh fruit and vegetables, flowers, specialty breads and international food.
If you haven’t checked it out, I highly recommend swinging by! I was there on the first day and enjoyed picking out a variety of strawberries, blackberries and blueberries. I also bought some carrots, all kinds of summer squashes, and peaches! They were all delicious!
There was also a kettle corn booth, a booth for coloring and laminating commemorative pins, and a featured business. This event is put on by the San Bruno Chamber of Commerce so a featured business is an appropriate and great way for a business to promote themselves! (That means you’ll see me there one day, for sure!)
If you don’t have plans on a Sunday this summer, try to make it to the San Bruno Farmer’s Market! It’s a great local event you won’t want to miss!

Homes Are Moving Quickly!
I recently started working with some first time home buyers. We made an appointment to view four homes in Daly City and South San Francisco. They have not had much experience viewing homes and wanted to get their feet wet to see what was offered in the current market.
As always, I do my best to preview the homes I show, as to gain as much knowledge as possible about the homes we are going to view.
What we were surprised to find out is that, out of the four homes we planned on viewing, 3 of them were marked pending or were going to be marked pending soon. All of the homes were vacant and have been on the market less than a month. Read more

How much under the list price can I offer?
This is a question I am asked quite often. Many people get their real estate news from what they hear on the radio, watch on tv, or read in newspapers. What many do not do is actually speak to the people who are in the business and have up to date information on the current market. Although I encourage my clients to ask any questions that comes to mind, it is my job and responsibility to explain to them what I have experienced in the market and where I think it will go from here. Of course, I can not predict the future, but if the facts are studied, trends can be found. I feel it is very important that I educate my clients on the current market, so that we can work together to accomplish the common goal. Read more
San Bruno Real Estate “Shake Up”!
Skycrest Village- New Homes- San Bruno
From the Skycrest Village, new homes in San Bruno, to the bank owned fixer uppers, San Bruno homes for sale are feeling the shift of a real estate “shake up”! Inventory over the past few weeks has dwindled down to a mere 40 homes for sale and 15 condos. That’s not too many when you consider that San Bruno consists of 14,677 households.
Has The Market Already Changed? I Think So!
I have been working with some clients for the past few weeks. They have been pre-approved for a loan and we have been looking at many homes in hopes of finding them what they are looking for. We find a nice house in Pacifica, they write an offer that is over the listed price. I heard back from the listing agent today, informing me that there have been 20+ offers some of them coming in at about $100,000 over the listed price. Read more
What a Way to Get Your Down Payment!
More good news for prospective homebuyers! The following article is taken directly from the latest news came out of National Association of Realtors®.
Tax Credit Can Be Used for Down Payment
Shaun Donovan, secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, on Tuesday said that the Federal Housing Administration is going to permit its lenders to allow home buyers to use the $8,000 tax credit as a down payment.
Previously, most buyers wouldn’t receive the funds until after they filed their tax return, and that deterred some people from using the credit. The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® has been calling for the change. Read more
