THE ENGEL TIMES (July/August 2010)

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

The Real Estate Market in the Near Term:

Our take on it is that it all depends on…jobs.

Affordability is the driving force impacting home prices right now. If in the East Bay’s economic future, employers start hiring, (and paying competitive salaries), then demand for homes will continue and strengthen.

Having to forecast based on current conditions, our expectation is that values will stay pretty much where they are now, with a possibility of lowering somewhat further. We are currently transferring ownership at mid-2002 price points.

Depressed sales are accounting for:

SHORT SALES                     REOS [BANK OWNED]

LIVERMORE                                                         27.83%                                 18.26%

PLEASANTON                                                      13.82%                                   5.69%

Please contact us for any specific data you may require as to your particular situation and location.
