The Hottest Time To Sell

While many people believe that summer is one of the better times to sell the last few years I have noticed a lull in the July August months. The fact is spring is when we see the most activity. As people start returning from vacation the end of summer and fall starts to pick back up. Interest rates have been creeping up and combined with the continued price appreciation I am beginning to see price resistance in homes that are not in the hottest categories. Pricing a home correctly is still a key to attaining the highest possible value and garnering multiple offers.

Boring wood Beetles? Or exciting!

This home on my block was listed in sep 2015 for $988k, it sold in October 2015 for 1.321m. It was listed in Dec 7 2017 for 1.299m, it just closed for 1.45m. About 9% over a year for appreciation; our median price appreciation between 2016 & 2017 for a 3 bedroom home in Alameda was 9%. If it's being tented then it had wood boring beetles. It's a wood shingle home so this was smart to protect their investment. Beetles eat hardwood and the only way to kill them is to tent. Termites reside in the ground, come up to eat the softer wood and then go back in the ground. I have ready many many pest inspection reports so helping people understand these reports is integral to my work. #kaakepropertieslivealameda #alainpinelrealtors
