“A Pre-Sale Inspection prior to listing my house for sale?”…..ABSOLUTELY! A Home Inspection can be an afterthought when sellers are considering listing their home for sale. “Isn’t that the responsibility of the buyer?” some will say. Granted, the “To-Do List” can seem overwhelming when preparations to bring the home to market begin. There are those few nagging items around the house you know need to get fixed. Sprucing up the yard to really make the curb appeal pop. Making a few improvements to the interior of the … [Read more...]
Blackhawk Country Club Real Estate Review for 2016
Blackhawk Country Club Real Estate Review As Blackhawk Country Club real estate enters the height of the 2017 “selling season” I wanted to look back at how the community performed in 2016. Overall, last year was definitely a “Sellers’ Market”. Inventory of homes for sale remained low, while not as low as this year thusfar, and demand certainly outstripped supply. While the market was not as “heated” as a couple of years ago we did see a rise in the median home price of almost 5% over … [Read more...]

San Ramon Valley Mortgage and Market Update
Economic News…Bond markets got a big jolt this morning with the release of the Employment Situation report. The stronger than expected report revealed that 257,000 non-farm payroll jobs were created in January and both November and December numbers were revised sharply higher as well. In addition to this there was a big uptick in average hourly earnings. While this is good news for workers and the economy money in bonds headed for the door. Factory Orders and the ISM Manufacturing data were much less positive. The … [Read more...]
Tri-Valley Mortgage and Market Update
Economic News…While all real estate is considered local the opposite is true for the mortgage market. Swings in the debt markets are influenced by global events, such as those happening in the Ukraine, as well as the severe winter that much of our country has had to endure. A “flight to quality” when fears persist leads to lower rates. On the flip side, a stock market which continues to move higher coupled with a brighter view of the overall economy pushes rates higher. Locally, inventory of homes for sale seems to … [Read more...]
Blackhawk Country Club Real Estate Report
2014 has arrived and it’s time to take a look at how the Blackhawk Country Club real estate market is doing. As with many other cities in the area Blackhawk is currently experiencing an inventory shortage of homes for sale. As of January 8th there are 18 homes in “active” status on the MLS. Of these 18 there are only 5 which have a list price under 1.5MM dollars. That is about as low as I have seen it in a long time. Using the same metric of 1.5MM dollars for homes which are “sale pending” there are only three. The … [Read more...]
Tri-Valley Mortgage and Market Update for 8.2.13
Economic News...We knew this week was going to be volatile for mortgage rates due to the importance of the data on tap. This situation was summed up perfectly in a Mortgage News Daily update which equated the behavior of the bond market to that old game of French origin utilizing an oxeye daisy. “He(She) loves me...He(She) loves me not.” Wednesday, Thursday and Friday provided news that would shift the bond market dramatically in either direction. When yesterday came to a close all eyes were fixed on the Employment … [Read more...]
Tri-Valley Mortgage & Market Update for May 24th

Durable Goods Orders beat estimates and Weekly Jobless Claims bounced back from last week’s disappointing report. Mortgage Markets...Mortgage rates continue to march higher during May. Mortgage Backed Securities are currently underperforming the Treasury market. The 10 Year Note is currently trading at 2.013% which is up from … [Read more...]
Tri-Valley Mortgage & Market Update for April 5th
Mortgage and Market Update... Economic News...was a little weaker than expected. The ISM Manufacturing Index and Factory Orders results were mixed. While the headline figures were tepid there was some positive data hidden in the underlying numbers. Employment stats for the week were the real market driver. On Wednesday, the ADP Employment Report results predicted a weaker Employment Situation in Friday’s release. This came true with today’s announcement of 88,000 jobs created versus the 193,000 expected. The … [Read more...]
