More than just a picnic in San Bruno! It’s a family affair!

October 1, 2008 · Karin Cunningham · Comment here

Boing! Boing! Boing! On Sept. 27, 2008 our office at Prudential California Realty- San Bruno had its annual company picnic, bounce house and all! Our agents brought their favorite dishes, pot luck style while the office supplied the hamburgers, hot dogs and drinks. It was a HOT day in San Bruno border-lining 90 degrees! Our favorite title companies supplied the kids with a jumping castle with a slide, piñata, and other goodies! There was a committee that put this all together and they did the greatest job, planning, shopping and preparing!

Our office family, together with our real families, were playing and eating together! It was a great atmosphere! The day was an absolute blast!

DEAL or NO DEAL

September 23, 2008 · Lee Ginsburg · 3 Comments

Deal or No Deal?

    Everyone’s definition of a “DEAL” is different.

Many of today’s buyers are in the mindset that a “Deal” is purchasing a home below current market value.  What is current market value?  It is the price a willing and capable buyer is willing to pay and a seller is willing to accept.   Below Market sales do not occur in today’s web 2.0 world.  Information is plentiful for both the buyer and the seller.  Properties priced below market value are not kept a secret for long.  Homes listed at below market prices wind up getting multiple offers and sell at the price determined by the bidders which is now the market price.  Many of these people looking for this type of “DEAL” have not purchased anything and may not because they continue to offer below the market price. They are not the only buyer out there.   I recently heard of aproperty with 89 offers. The demand is still very strong. Before the internet many properties were kept a “secret” because it took more time, effort and money to get the information out; so yes purchasing below market value was possible then but not now.

Is the Bottom In Sight?

September 18, 2008 · Lee Ginsburg · Comment here

The window is open but could be closing soon.  The window I am speaking about is “The Window of Opportunity”.  In the Bay Area we might be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.  The bottom might be in sight.  Why am I saying this?  It is economics 101; Supply and Demand.  On the Supply side in the Bay Area we are seeing the Supply stabilize or even decrease in certain areas.

“What is TDS?” my client asked. It is a 3 page Transfer Disclosure Statement which the seller is required by law to fill out. The main purpose is for the sellers to disclose to the buyers anything they know about the condition of the house. Read more
