How’s the market? It’s getting HOT, HOT, HOT. There’s competition out there for homes, so what are you waiting for? Tthe interest rates are at historic lows and, believe it or not, the banks are finally lending. What does this mean to Burlingame? With a high median price of $1.245 million it means there’s money out there for qualified buyers to move to The City of Trees and get out of the Fog of the City.
We’ve completed the second month of 2011 and the Peninsula real estate market is coming to life. Prices are beginning to rise and, believe it or not, loans are available out there for Burlingame buyers. One thing is for certain, the historic interest rates for mortgages will not last so if you are even thinking a tiny bit about moving up or down, or buying your first home, don’t wait. Interest will go up and your affordability index will go down accordingly.
It’s a Buyer’s Market and there are a lot of great properties for sale. In fact, as the year winds to an end, each one of these houses is truly on sale. People listing homes this time of the year want to sell and are willing to negotiate. Negotiation is the key word today. What the asking price is, isn’t generally what the selling price is.
The Burlingame market report is showing prices have declined, but this is something that usually happens at year end. We’re seeing a good selection of houses with 64 listings. These houses are staying on the market longer and prices are getting reduced the longer they’re there. If you find a great house, don’t expect it to languish as the really good ones go pretty fast. It’s a great time to buy with historically low interest rates but the banks are tough today and you must be able to qualify

You can tell a lot by the number of houses on the market, or in real estate-speak, the Inventory, then the number of days a house sits on the market.
