Spring - 2

Speaking of spring (and finding the silver lining in the gloomy cloud), we've gone through our annual exercise of summarizing what's positive about the current real estate market in San Francisco and Marin counties.
  1. It's a Buyer's Market The calendar and the weather indicate spring has arrived and, for the most part San Francisco is a buyer's market for the first time in most people's memory.
  2. Prices are Down Prices have moderated in almost all 10 real estate districts in San Francisco and throughout Marin and are expected to remain stable for the next few months.
  3. Selection is Outstanding Buyers have not seen this number of available homes for sale, at competitive prices, in the last five years. And the available number of condominiums has never been this high.
  4. Interest Rates are Down Loan rates are the lowest they've been in over 30 years.
  5. Tax Benefits President Obama's stimulus plan offers new tax incentives for first-time buyers with additional California tax incentives for purchases of newly constructed homes.
  6. Full Service Prudential's one-stop shopping helps minimize the work involved in hunting for a home mortgage, insurance and home warranty -- everything you need for a smooth, efficient closing of your escrow.
  7. Knowledgeable Agents Our agents keep a constant watch on all segments of the real estate market, tracking the vital, fast changing trends and keeping our buyers informed. As always, we remain committed to getting your lowest and best price possible.
  8. Technology Our unique WebTop technology allows us to deliver daily e-mail notifications of new listings throughout the Bay area that meet your specific needs. No need to hunt through multiple web sites.
  9. The Extra Mile We want and appreciate your business and are prepared to go the "extra mile" to earn it.
  10. Now Is the Time If you're waiting for the market "to hit bottom", we believe that any further delay will mean that you missed it again. As with most markets, by the time you know we've hit bottom, it's already passed.
