Hello from Janis!

Janis - (866) 224-8024

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.

Janis's story here.

The December Real Estate Market Report for November is now available on our website. November sales histories may be seen here.
