September 2022 Newsletter

Dear Neighbor: As we head down the back side of the recent meteoric rise in real estate prices, you can still get in on it.  Even though there may not be the frenzy of the past 18 months, prices are still near their all-time highs.  But, based upon the historical pattern (and I’ve been thru a few of these), if you’re considering selling and want top dollar, you need to act quickly.  While I don’t claim to have a crystal ball,...Continue Reading!

May 2022 Newsletter

Out here in the trenches it’s fairly clear to me that the real estate market is slowly cooling off – rising prices and rising interest rates are having the predictable effect.  Whereas a couple of weeks ago there were only 40 properties for sale of all types and prices, today there are 72.  May not seem like many but, as I’ve observed before, these things always sneak up on you while the media reports, dealing with sales made 60-90 days...Continue Reading!

March 2022 Newsletter

Dear Neighbor: For reasons those of us out here in the trenches have a tough time understanding, the real estate market is still strong.  I know this sounds like a broken record (is that still a useful metaphor?).  You can say it’s because of a shortage of houses for sale, but that wouldn’t be the case if they weren’t selling the minute they hit the market, or before.  Clearly there are still, despite record high prices, more buyers out there than...Continue Reading!

First Time For Sale Since New — Via Palomino!!

I remember in 1960 when my dad and I walked over from our house on Via Pinzon and looked at this then-vacant lot.  My mom had just had her 3rd baby and we needed a bigger house.  It was the most lovely setting among City parkland, trees, and lots of flat land.  But we needed a new, bigger house faster than we could build one from scratch, so we bought down on Via Almar.  Fast forward 3 years and my...Continue Reading!

January 2022 Newsletter

Dear Neighbor: Whew!  We made it thru 2021.  The media continues to report brisk real estate sales but, as I’ve mentioned before, the media doesn’t know what they’re talking about.  The data they use is 2-8 months old and reflects what was going on then, not now.  I just heard 2 days ago that October business was up.  It kind of depends upon how you define “October business”.  They are talking about escrows that closed in October, which therefore generally went...Continue Reading!
