Pleasanton remains steady
with homes that are priced right still receiving multiple offers. There has
been an abundance of homes withdrawn from the market which is a stark contrast
from the Livermore market. The pending sales are about one a day. I believe we
will see a large increase in inventory once the SIP is lifted. Right now the
inventory is extremely low which still leads me to believe we will have a
normal market once things get back to normal.
Overall Inventory – 45 detached homes and 9 TH/Condo products available for a combined 54 units available. This is still considered “extremely” low inventory.
Pending sales since the shelter in place order of 3/17/2020 – 18 about 1 per day average
New Listings in the past 6 days – 6 homes are still coming on the market
Homes sold with quick closes from 3/17/20 to 4/1/20 – 1
Homes have withdrawn since 3/17/20 – 30

Time to assess the worst in home brought on by winter. Use
this break to take a closer look at what needs to be done heading into a nicer
season and prepare you fully for next year.
Trim
Get at those bushes and trees! Perhaps the winter weather
has weakened some vital branches that could snap once dry. Get rid of them.
Take a good long look at the bushes that are somewhat manageable now because
the impending warm weather will cause them to growth spurt.
Gutters
The number one offender of big money damage in a home is
water. You must respect the flow! Treat your gutters with respect in the
weather break by really getting in there. Clean them out, look for breaks or
loose mounts, check the pitch and make certain that everything is flowing the
direction you want it to.
Screens
There is nothing like a broken and dirty screen once you
want to throw the window open on the first beautiful spring day. Take this
opportunity to remove all your screens and give them a good cleaning as well as
check the trim and rescreen as necessary.
Woodwork
Our old foe water comes into play here again. Assess your trim and external woodwork on your home for damage. Poke and prod below the paint to check the integrity. Do you have rot or holes? Well, they aren’t going to get better in warmer weather. In most cases, you can simply strip, seal and repaint your woodwork. This will save big money later and also give your home a facelift for curb appeal.
Vents
The
next thing to look at would be vents that lead outside, which connect to your
heating and cooling systems, dryer and more. A damaged or missing vent cap
could allow birds or rodents in, clogging the vent and potentially
releasing toxins into your home. “This is the time when birds are
going to immediately want to nest. Couple that with some nice weather, and
within a day or two things can change dramatically,” Dave Lavalle, founder of
Dryer Vent Wizard says.
Take advantage of the sun coming out and give your home a good once over! You will be able to enjoy the nicer weather so much more as well as know that when the bad stuff rolls through again you will be ready!

After weeks of searching, you finally find
the perfect home. While it is understandable that anyone would get caught up in
the excitement of making that purchase, remember that a house isn’t just a
place where memories are made – it is also a huge financial transaction.
To make sure that you are making the best
financial transaction, make sure you get a home inspection. Though some people
decide to forego it, this part of the home buying process can save you time,
money, and heartbreak.
Here are five compelling reasons why you
should get a home inspection before buying:
1. What’s
under the wrapping?: Any house, new or old, can have issues that are not easily
detected by the unqualified eye. Think about foundation issues, roof problems,
or electrical trouble that can cause headaches later on.
2. Short
term pain, long term gain: Buying a home is an expensive affair. It’s no wonder
that some people prefer to decline some steps not just to be the winning offer,
but to save a few dollars too. However, home inspections don’t cost that much,
and in the grand scheme, if that inspection stops you from buying a home that
requires extensive repairs, think of it money well spent.
3. Negotiating
power: Another advantage of having a home inspection is getting the power of
negotiation. Just think – if the home you really want is just a little
expensive for your budget, then you can use the details in your home inspection
report to bargain down to a price point that works for you. And if the
inspection finds major issues, you may be able to opt out of the transaction
entirely.
4. Repair
time: In your offer to purchase, make sure you add a clause that requires the
seller to make repairs before the deal is completed. This ensures that your
house is in better working order than when you first saw it. If the seller
doesn’t want to make the repairs, you can negotiate a lower price that factors
in the cost of those repairs.
5. Knowledge:
Do you know the best reason to get a home inspection? As said earlier, buying a
home will probably be the biggest purchase of your life. Don’t you want to know
exactly what you are getting? By
avoiding unexpected issues through a home inspection, you can make your home
purchase a happy one all around.
Buying a home is a decision that has the
ability to impact both your financial life and your happiness. Although it may
seem like yet another expense, a home inspection can show you whether or not
the house you want is the right choice. Your home is a significant investment –
make it the best one, too.

Chances are that buying a new home will likely cinch your spending habits for a little while. The chances are also great that your spending habits will be completely redefined. Now is the time to get real with your spending. On a spreadsheet map out every cent that leaves your possession in a month and for what reasons. The key here is, to be honest with yourself and take a look at what can be removed or tweaked from the budget, long-term, to make room for your new home.
List Wants and Needs
While we are on the track of being real, here is a great time to define the difference between “want” and “need”. For instance, if you work from home a home office is a need, but if you only use your desk to pay bills then a home office could just be a “want”. These differences could not only save you big money but also open up your selections.
Interview Real Estate Agents
Really Interview agents. In this day and age, agents should be pretty easy to vet online as a preliminary step. Check their digital footprint. Do they present themselves in a way that resonates with you, do they have multiple testimonials and have they established themselves as an expert in your desired area. Once you meet with them, pay close attention to listening skills and vision sharing. Give them some broad details of what you are looking for and ask for their interpretations of the detailed solutions…do they match yours? Don’t be afraid to speak to multiple agents before you find the right one.
Select an area, but be flexible
You probably know the state you want to be in and even the general area, but start to look at specific neighborhoods and all that they have to offer. The most important thing when settling on a neighborhood is to get familiar with the surrounding neighborhoods as well. List out by preference your second, third, fourth, etc. choice for nearby neighborhoods. This flexibility will increase your odds of finding your dream home.
Max Proximity to Commerce and Services
When deep diving on your neighborhood resources do not discount services and shopping. You will wish you had when you have to run out at 9pm on a rainy night for batteries. Emergency and medical services are crucial as well. How close is the fire and police departments, how far do you have to go to fix a cut knee? Remember that you plan on being here a while and every scenario under the sun will play themselves out while this is your base of operations.
With a little planning and foresight, your dream home can become even dreamier than you imagined but also become more obtainable now!
