This continues to be a great time for serious buyers.  Sellers who spot a serious buyer are apt to treat them with dignity and respect and go out of their way to accomodate their needs.  If you are a serious buyer, let it be known to the seller of a property you like.  Don’t wait until the seller has out of frustration taken it off the market.  When it comes back on the market in the spring it probably won’t be at the same price but higher.

The sky is not falling!  In fact surveys of activity throughout our nine county area indicate lots of activity with homes selling in short periods less than 10 days in lots of spots and for asking or above.   For example, Palo Alto and Menlo Park saw preemptive sales and multiple offers in half of all the offers made in these markets.  Judging from my personal experience holding homes open in Menlo Park there seem to be many hungry buyers looking for the right house and scouting out what will work for them.

Think again if you are sitting on the fence.  The time wasted sitting on that fence can cost you the possibility of owning that nice house…either because the seller is bending over backwards to do a deal with someone else or so frustrated they have decided to take their home off the market until spring…either way buyers lose.
