Today, Karen Fiddler, broker-owner of a real estate firm in southern California wrote a great blog post, "When Do You Want To Move? The Science Behind the List Price." In the post she clearly explains how to figure out months of inventory, and how that can best be used to recommend a reasonable list price.In my area of California, the Peninsula from San Francisco to the Silicon Valley, we have an extreme shortage of inventory, with multiple offers the norm. When a property is unique in some way, finding proper comps to use isn't always possible, so as a listing agent I need to delve further.A recent listing of mine is a good example. This property, in Belmont, California is a 2-bedroom house per the County Assessor's office. However, it is over 2500 sq.ft. in size, far larger than any 2... 08/23/2015

What's the market like? That's a question I hear often. In most of our San Mateo County and Silicon Valley towns, as well as in San Francisco, there is a shortage of inventory, with many ready and able buyers for the few listings available. Today we'll take a look at Belmont, California, a town with a population of roughly 26,750. The following information for single-family homes was compiled this morning from our Multiple Listing Service. 14 active listings (yes, only 14 in the entire town) These range in price from $950,000 to $2,248,000, with a median list price of $1,399,000. 17 pending sales. 14 sales closed in the last 30 days, at a median sales price of $1,412,500. Of the 14 sales, 12 sold for over asking (often several hundred thousand dollars over list price), one sold at the a... 07/23/2015

"How's the market" is a question I hear a lot, so let's take a look at what's going on in Belmont, a city with roughly 26,700 residents: As of Thursday, on our Multiple Listing Service we had: Single Family Homes: 5 Active listings, with a median list price of $1,488,000 18 Pending sales 26 Closed sales in the last 30 days, 25 of which sold for over asking Condos/Townhouses:   0 Active listings   3 Pending sales   4 Closed sales in the last 30 days; 3 sold over asking; 1 at asking We're definitely in a strong sellers' market, and definitely need more inventory to accommodate the demand from buyers. Our local economy is strong and growing; demand from Pacific Rim countries continues. In short, people want to live here and we need housing for them. 05/23/2015

What's the market like? It's a common question I hear as a Realtor® in the Belmont, California area.   Let's take a look, starting with a glimpse of what happened in 2014 in some of the Peninsula and Silicon Valley towns, charted a few days ago.   As you can see, all these Peninsula and Silicon Valley towns show a very strong market in 2014. Days on market are very short, median sales prices are up over list prices -- all indicators of a seller's market.   The question people are wondering is whether this will continue in 215, and of course there is no crystal ball. However, there are indicators.   Let's focus just on the single-family home market in Belmont. As of yesterday morning there was only 1 home listed for sale in our multiple listing service in the entire Town of Belmont! It i... 01/22/2015

I really enjoy my work where we see homes coming back to life, quite often after many years of neglect. Looks okay from the first impression but there was no foundation under most of the home and a failed brick foundation under the remaining portion. Removing the brick foundation    No foundation for much of this home    Here it is jacked up in the air so we can install the new foundation  Forms are now installed ready for the pour I hear Realtors tell me now and then that the home doesn't qualify for a 203k loan... due to the foundation issues....

Used for centuries to hold water in large reservoirs we are seeing more and more being used to capture rain water and us it for watering the yard. In this first case it is a simple bucket to catch the rain water from the downspout for watering...  Today I ran into one that has been the source of their drinking water since 1941 in a community in San Mateo County. It feeds the well and a stream feeds it. and it appears I didn't take the photo, too busy looking at it. I'll add the photo when I go out again, lol   04/22/2014
