Hello from Janis!

Our July market report for June activity shows our San Francisco real estate market is steady. Not much changed from last month For the fifth month in a row, single family homes under $2M are selling for OVER the asking price which indicates multiple offer situations. If you own one of these homes, it is great news for you!

Interest rates are even lower now than last month and over the years that you own a property this can save tens of thousands of dollars.  If buyers are waiting until prices goes down further (which is not a certainty) they could miss the savings that low interest rates will provide on a monthly basis.  As I like to tell clients who are selling---a good offer can often be the one with the best terms but not the best price.  San Francisco is continuing to have an active market with multiple offers and offers over the asking price at many different price points.  This is often the first signs that our market is recovering.  We shall see what the future holds........

Our July market report for June sales is now online at our website.

If you are MOVING or KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS, remember, we know GREAT AGENTS to whom we can refer with confidence! If you or someone you know needs to buy or sell property somewhere else in the country, keep us in mind. In return for the lead, we'll give you a chance to win our Rewards contest for a weekend in Tahoe.
