Homes Are Moving Quickly!
June 19, 2009 · Adam Chinn · 5 Comments

cartoon-house-runningI 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

I had some good friends over for Thanksgiving.  Pretty early in the evening the question came up; “Lee how is the Real Estate Market?”  “People can’t get loans? Huh”, he stated. This occurs often.  Everyday it is mentioned the “Credit Crunch” we have to loosen up credit.  I hope everyone reads “You Can Qualify For a Mortgage, It’s Just Tougher” by Marni Leff Kottle of the S.F. Chronicle,  Read more

Has Daly City Seen the Bottom?
November 16, 2008 · Burt Tsuei · 7 Comments

No other city in San Mateo County has seen a greater depreciation in home value in the last year than Daly City.  Back in September 2007, the average sales price of Daly City was $730,000, as compared to $565,000 in September 2008.  This is a depreciation of almost 23%.  The most common question is whether or not this is the bottom of the market.  In this blog, I will share with you my expert opinion, as to why the bottom has come to Daly City, and this might be your last chance to get a great value.

Visiting Homes in the Rain?
November 2, 2008 · Jean Joh · 4 Comments


I just got back from hosting an Open House in Burlingame.  It’s a beautiful house but it was pouring rain outside, so needless to say, not too many people came through.  With that fresh in my mind, I thought I would write a quick blog about why it might be a good idea to view a home when it’s raining.

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.

“Can I really buy a house at the mall?”
July 29, 2008 · Jean Joh · 2 Comments

This question was posed to me as I sat at our Prudential kiosk in the Serramonte Mall.  I was caught a little off guard.  “Well, sort of…” was my awkward response.  The amiable woman followed up with another question, “So, can I just buy a house here like a pair of shoes and then return it if it doesn’t fit?”  We had a nice laugh together over that one.
