A Quick Snap Shot Of Daly City
May 11, 2010 · · 2 Comments

I took a quick look at some of the Real Estate Trends in Daly City and found the statistics to be quite encouraging. These statistics are comparing April of 2010 to April of 2009.

Median Price Of Properties Sold: +6%
Properties Under Contract: +69%
Properties For Sale: -16%
Average Days On Market: -7%
Average Monthly Supply Of Inventory: -63%

The numbers are very encouraging, it appears, while prices are slightly up, so is interest in them. Inventory has decreased and so has the amount of time properties are staying on the market. Simple supply and demand, demand is up while supply is down, means the prices properties are selling for have risen.

It is still a great time to buy or sell in the current market, much of it depends on your own personal needs.

5 Advantages for Move-Up Buyers In This Market
November 13, 2009 · · 3 Comments

moving upFive reasons current home owners should consider upgrading to a new home.

1. Interest rates are at historic lows: Lower interest rates means you can now buy more home then you could have a year or two ago.

2. Prices have come down: Even if your current home may be worth less than the last peak in the market, the next home you are looking for will probably be as well.  The percentage decrease will actually help you get more house when buying up to a larger home.

3. There are still a good amount of homes on the market right now, both new construction and existing, giving you lots of choices and negotiating power.

4. You can move in to your new home faster, as many builders either have completed homes in inventory or they can start working right away due to the production slowdown.

5. You may have outgrown your home, but its probably someone else’s ideal starter home. With the $8,000 tax credit just recently being extended and the new $6,500 tax credit for move up buyers, now is the time to market your home to first-time home buyers.
