I can’t think of two things that go together better than wine and chocolate. And on May 10, you can celebrate spring with this delectable pairing at the Downtown Danville Spring Wine & Chocolate Stroll.
The 4th annual event will take place from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. In addition to the heavenly wine tasting and …
The pace of sales slowed over the past six months in the Ruby Hill neighborhood of Pleasanton. 18 sales closed during that period, compared to 28 during the previous six month period and 22 for this same period a year ago. That represents about a 25% drop in closed sales from the norm for Ruby …
The Carlton Oaks neighborhood of Pleasanton did not see much activity during the past six months. There have been no closed sales during that period, although two sales are pending. There is one active listing in the neighborhood.

The Sevillano and Ponderosa Legacy neighborhoods of Livermore saw a fair amount of activity over the past six months. While there were only two closed sales during that period, and only one this year, three sales are pending and there are three homes actively listed.

Over the past few years, the Cimarron Hills/Woodranch neighborhood of Danville has averaged about one sale a month and the last six months was no exception, with seven closed sales. More inventory would likely create more sales, since homes here sell quickly. Two additional sales are pending and there are three active listings.
The average price …
There can’t be any sales if there aren’t any homes for sale and that has been the case in the Old Ranch/Summit neighborhood of San Ramon for the past two years. There are no active listings here and only one pending sale. No sales have closed this year and a total of four closed during …
The Bridges neighborhood of San Ramon remained hot over the past six months. 20 sales closed during that period, compared to 29 during the prior six months.

What a difference a few months can make. The stock market is up, the economy appears to be thawing, the real estate market is strong, and gas is under $3.00 a gallon (I wish). So it is a good time to take a step back and see the Pleasanton and Tri-Valley real estate market from …
As the real estate freeze begins a slight thaw-out this spring, industry experts are predicting the best selling season in five years. This certainly looks like it is the case in Pleasanton and the Tri-Valley real estate markets.

To say the market in Pleasanton is hot is an understatement. There were more pending sales of single family detached homes during March (88) in Pleasanton than any month since June of 2005. March’s increase of 37 pending sales is also greater than any single-month increase in at least that time period. Inventory rose slightly …
Rising sales and flat inventory have been the story in Blackhawk for the past several months and March was no exception. Inventory matched the six year low of 33 set in December 2010, while 16 pending sales were the most since May of that year.
Overall, pending sales increased to 16 in March, the fourth consecutive …

Overall, pending sales increased by three units, …
Danville bucked the trend we saw throughout the Tri-Valley in March by experiencing a decrease in pending sales of single family detached homes, while inventory stayed flat.
