Burlingame is a Buyer’s market and has been one for a long time. This week saw a large number of new listings come out, something we haven’t seen in a long while

There are exactly 65 days left to qualify for the $8000 First Time Buyer’s Credit. You must be in contract by April 30,2010 and close escrow by June 30th.

This price range is hot, hot, hot and we are seeing multiple offers, once again, which means you must be out looking every weekend.

The City of San Mateo is the largest housing housing market in our immediate area. With a population just under 100,000 (or more once the census is completed) there is a wide variety of houses to choose from. It offers a good selection of entry level homes, and has one of the prettiest areas with executive homes in the County, San Mateo Park.

The Wilkas Group is well versed in this market and it would be our pleasure to assist you with your real estate needs be it buying or selling. If you are experiencing financial hardship and need to sell short, we are specialists in this type of transaction.

Since San Mateo is a large and diverse city, there are options in buying a home besides a house within the city. Condos and townhouses are sprinkled around the city allowing for one to buy something better fitting their budget and needs. The condo and townhouse market is pretty vibrant in San Mateo.
