Hi Doug. My home is currently listed for sale for around $1,400,000. It has been on the market for 168 days. At this point we have only had one offer, a verbal offer at $1,100,000, which I of course turned down. We are not getting many showings, and no one is …
The Cimarron Hills and Woodranch neighborhoods of Danville continued on the pace they have been on for over a year, averaging about one sale a month. Three of the six closed sales during the past six months were in November and there have been none since, so perhaps the market is slowing here a …
Steady as she goes. That is an apt description of the Old Ranch Estates and Summit neighborhoods of San Ramon. It keeps plugging along, averaging about one sale per month. That has been the pace for the past couple of years and the last six months have been no different. There …
The Bridges in San Ramon remains a busy neighborhood. Not quite as busy as six months ago when there were 19 closed sales in the preceding six months, but still pretty active. 11 sales closed in the past six months and there are an additional six sales pending. Nine homes are actively …

All the nice weather did not seem to help the Alamo real estate market much, as pending sales continued the decline they have been on since August and inventory fell for the fourth consecutive month. Pending sales were at the lowest level seen in the past several years. The high end of the …
The San Ramon market behaved differently from most of the Tri-Valley, which has seen increases in pending sales and decreasing inventory. In San Ramon, inventory rose sharply in January, reversing a four month trend, while pending sales increased only slightly. Homes priced under $1 million saw solid increases in both inventory and pending …
January’s great weather helped push Dublin’s pending sales to their highest level since August of last year and to what would have been the third highest sales number in all of 2010. There were 39 pending sales in January, an increase of 13 homes, or 33%. Inventory, on the other hand, slipped for …
The Livermore real estate market in January looks pretty much like it looked in November. Between those two months, December saw declines in both inventory and pending sales. Both bounced back nicely in January.
Overall, inventory stood at 232 single family detached homes at the end of November, fell to 201 in December and …
The new BART station for West Pleasanton & West Dublin opens today. The new station is located in the median of I-580, and has parking on both sides of the freeway. It has direct access to Stoneridge Mall, which should help boost sales tax revenue for Pleasanton. It should also help take …
2010 was a year for selling some homes that had been on the market for an extended period in The Golden Eagle Estates neighborhood of Pleasanton. The shortest time any home was on the market before being sold was 141 days and at least one home was listed for over a year. It …
Demand in the Hansen Hill/The Ridges neighborhood of Dublin remains high. With only a few exceptions, homes that come on the market in this neighborhood sell quickly. As a result, there are 1-2 closed sales each month. Nine sales closed in the past six months, with another two sales pending. One …
Inventory, or the lack of it, continues to be the story in the Ventana Hills neighborhood of Pleasanton, as it has been for at least two years. There is one active listing, no pending sales and only two closed sales since June 2010.
The only active listing was on Bartlett Place. The asking price …
The Stoneridge neighborhood of Pleasanton saw more activity over the past six months than it did during the first half of 2010. Four sales closed during that period and another three sales are pending. Two homes are actively listed. That doesn’t sound like much but only two sales closed during the first …

The two pending sales are …
