When Halloween comes it’s time to check your home for maintenance ’cause winter’s on its way . Taking the time to fix things when they’re small issues saves big bucks later on. Here of 5 of the easiest things to do:
It’s hard to believe that it was 20 years ago when Loma Prieta struck its fist above the earth and caused many deaths, fires, and fear throughout the region. Anyone who lived through it can tell you exactly what they were doing when it hit. It’s the last time our two baseball teams were in the World Series together, too. Perhaps we should keep that in mind when wishing for another Bay Bridge World Series!
Foster City is known for its top schools and scores but not everyone can afford to buy a house in Foster City. Since this is a planned community, there are many options to own in Foster City for less cost than a house runs. There are condos built to be condos, not converted from apartments like in so many places in California. There are townhouses that really are single family homes but attached like row houses, and then there are condos that look like townhouses but are condos and you don’t own the land the unit sits on.
Sitting smack dab in the middle of the Peninsula, Foster City is a commuters paradise whether one goes towards San Francisco or San Jose or across the bridge towards Pleasanton. All are equal distance from Foster City and that makes it a great place to live. It is a planned community offers choices of living from apartments to large homes. Sitting right at the bay, there are waterways meandering all over the city and homes, townhouses, condos and apartments sharing waterfront views.
As the second largest city in San Mateo County, the city of San Mateo offers many kinds of housing choices. Earlier today we talked about the market report for single family homes. Now let’s look at what’s going on with the condo and townhouse market.
Townhouses sell at many different price points from entry level to multi-million dollar luxury units with views from San Francisco down towards San Jose.
San Mateo is the second largest city in San Mateo County, and as such is quite diverse. There is housing at entry level prices and housing at executive level pricing which is the same as one might pay to live in Hillsborough or Burlingame. There are 91,601 on people in San Mateo according to the 2010 census and lots of housing to select from.
We’re entering the end of 2011 as Fourth Quarter started over the weekend. What does this mean for real estate? We begin to see prices soften for those who must sell. We see homes come off the market as we approach Thanksgiving and the holidays as most people do not want to be bothered showing their home during intense family time.
It’s sure been a while since I’ve seen anything like this one, so if you want to buy a new home and are in need of some financial assistance to do so, you just might want to check this out. If you qualify, there’s a $15,000 cash assistance program for you. There is a catch, though. Isn’t there always one? You must be buying a new condo at Belamor Millbrae Paradise and it must be done before November 30,2011.
