Hello from Janis!
While many markets across the country are experiencing slowdowns, the San Francisco market continues to do well. As I said last time, our inventory is low which could be the reason there are so many multiple offer situations and over listing price sales.
Rick Turley talks about this in his lastest market report. If you look at November's numbers, you will see that while the number of homes sold has dropped slightly (typical for this time of year), average sale prices
were all higher on average than the listing prices and are considerably higher than a year ago.
Remember we have a strong network of agents
in other areas to whom we can refer with confidence. We've already sent
some happy buyers and sellers outside of San Francisco, and have had a few referred to us, so 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
for RE-ferrals contest.

Report for November is now
