San Bruno Concerts in the Park 2009
Oh boy! I am so excited! San Bruno Park puts on concerts every Friday in August starting at 6:00 pm
For the last two summers I made homemade gourmet popcorn and put them in sandwhich bags for my kids to sell for .50 cents each. They were so darn cute! My 4 year old daughter carried her metal pail full of popcorn and my 8 year old son collected the money! I have pictures somewhere that I need to find and post!
Anyways, this year’s 2009 schedule looks like this:
Aug 7th- Livewire (Dance Party Band)
Aug 14- Unauthorized Rolling Stones (Tribute Band)
Aug 21- Cocktail Monkeys (Classic Rock, Pop, Variety)
Aug 28 Dave Crimmen (50’s Rock n Roll)
Be sure to come and if you see me or my kids selling popcorn, tell us you read our blog! Thanks!

Buyer’s Market?
Buyer’s Market? You bet it is. I will be speaking about the low end of each market area. On the Peninsula and San Francisco we talk about Single Family homes priced under $700,000. In the East Bay it is below $400,000. Buyer’s Market yes but not in the traditional way. Today’s buyer cannot expect to purchase a home for 20% off the list price, but they can expect to purchase a home 30-60% off of 2004 prices. Today’s buyer cannot expect the seller to take care of all necessary repairs, but the buyer can expect to receive an $8000 Federal Tax Credit and an extra $10,000 State Tax Credit if they are purchasing a brand new home. Today’s first time buyer cannot expect to be the only offer, but they can expect to receive the lowest interest rates in 40 years. I think it is just in a different way.
The Real Estate Market in San Bruno, South San Francisco, Daly City, San Mateo is hot just like the weather. Prices are based on supply and demand. Demand is strong as all smart people want to take advantage of the buyers market. By the way the $8000 Federal Tax Credit terminates Nov. 30 of this year. Read more

Can I really buy a house in Daly City for under $400,000?
Not only can you buy a house in Daly City for under $400,000 right now but in South San Francisco, Pacifica, and San Bruno as well. Most of these lower priced bargains are short sales and bank owned property. They are not always in the best shape or have a lot of bedrooms but they are opportunities that some people have been waitng for! Although there is competion again to buy in this price range, more and more homes become available every week. It’s sad on one hand but a hopeful first time buyer’s dream! Read more
Bay Area Real Estate’s – Perfect Storm
Perfect Storm = Low Interest Rates, Low Prices, and Lower Inventory.
We have all the ingredients.
If you have been waiting for prices to stabilize you are on the cusp of being late.
Homes in Daly City, San Bruno, San Mateo, San Francisco and South San Francisco are selling. To keep up with the demand Bank of America is falling behind on appraisals and is hiring outside appraisers. I spoke to a termite inspector yesterday. He had 5 inspections scheduled for the day. Need I say we did not speak long. There is a buzz in my office. Conference rooms are filled with buyer’s consultations. Banks dealing with short sales are moving faster and be more aggressively. If you are a first time home buyer or a seasoned investor; jump in, the buying is great. It is a PERFECT STORM for you. Low Prices, Low Interest Rates and Lower Inventory.

Offer Pricing
I have several buyers very confused. They offered the asking price for a Daly City home but were outbid by $50,000. This is not supposed to happen in a today’s buyer’s market. The low price is a marketing tool and not a realistic list price. I explained before making a purchase offer, buyers must determine the true present market value. http://www.pruvoices.com/2008/10/what-is-market-value/ Read more
10 Reasons to buy a home in San Bruno
I wrote something like this before but it’s been awhile! I am partial to San Bruno because I live here and my office is here as well, Prudential California Realty, San Bruno. My kids go to school within walking distance from our house, my office is only 8 blocks away, the corner store is 4 blocks away, and if we need to go San Francisco, it’s only 10 minutes away! So that would be the number one reason to buy a house in San Bruno because a home near San Francisco is desirable because a lot of people work there and don’t want a long commute, so…. Read more
