I\'m Mac Rogers. As a real estate broker for over 23 years, I\'ve walked through thousands of homes and seen the same renovation mistakes over and over: kitchen designs homeowners regret, bathroom remodels that don\'t age well, trends that make a home look cheap, and upgrades that quietly kill your home\'s value. This channel is for homeowners. I break down the mistakes to avoid and the renovation choices that are easy to maintain and actually hold or increase your home\'s value. I\'ve made some of these mistakes in my own house, and I\'ll show you those too.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[There\'s a photo of your roof that you\'ve never seen. Your insurance company has seen it.

That\'s how this works now. Before an insurer decides whether to keep covering your house, they look at it, and they\'re not just looking at the roof. They\'re looking at what\'s touching the house, what\'s sitting in the yard, and what got added on that nobody filed paperwork for.

I\'m Mac Rogers, a real estate broker. I walk through hundreds of homes a year, and I keep running into the same thing. People get a letter saying their policy isn\'t being renewed, or a renewal quote that doubled, and they have no idea what set it off. It\'s almost never a mystery. It\'s something on the house.

In this video I go through ten things that get homeowners dropped or priced out of coverage. Some of them you can take care of this month. Some of them you\'re stuck with. Either way, you should know which ones are sitting in your house right now.

What\'s covered:
Trees and branches touching the roof The roof itself, both wood shake and asphalt The electrical panel Knob and tube and aluminum branch wiring Polybutylene and galvanized supply pipe The water heater Wood stoves and pellet stoves Buried oil tanks Pools, hot tubs, and trampolines Unpermitted work

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[If I was remodeling my kitchen, the cabinets and countertops would not be

the first thing I touched. After 23 years in real estate and thousands of
houses, I know exactly which decisions people live with for 20 years and
never quite figure out what is bugging them.

So here are the 12 things I would deal with before I picked a single
finish. The first five are layout. The other seven I would pull out on
day one.

FREE GUIDE: 10 Things to Know Before You Remodel
https://bit.ly/4eC1RGM
It is the short version of what I wish everybody knew before they called
a contractor.

WHAT I COVER:
1. The dead end galley
2. The single wall kitchen
3. The peninsula that boxes you in
4. The corner cabinet nobody can reach - LED Light https://amzn.to/4cgX1yj
5. Appliance doors that collide
6. The soffit above the cabinets
7. The tile countertop
8. The four inch backsplash
9. The high divide double bowl sink
10. The dishwasher on the wrong side of the sink
11. The range hood that vents to nowhere - Portable Vent https://amzn.to/4r3rczf
12. The undersized window over the sink

The stove side fan I mentioned in number 11:
https://amzn.to/4zX9t0o

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. If you buy
through that link I get a small cut at no extra cost to you.

If you got something out of this, the sink one in particular is worth
sending to anybody who is about to start a project. Number nine is the
one people tell me they notice every single day.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Your garage is the cheapest square footage you\'ll ever own. It\'s already framed, already roofed, already poured — and in most houses it\'s doing one job, badly.

I\'ve walked through thousands of homes over 23 years as a broker, and the garages that actually work are almost never the biggest ones. They\'re the ones where somebody made these twelve decisions on purpose instead of inheriting them.

In this video I break down the twelve biggest garage mistakes, ordered from the ones you can fix this weekend to the ones you\'re stuck with for as long as you own the house.

What we cover:
 Freestanding plastic shelving and why it fails
 Pegboard mounted flat against the wall
 One bulb in the middle of the ceiling
 The uninsulated garage door
 A workbench that\'s the wrong height — or the wrong size
 One 15-amp circuit running the entire garage
 Epoxy over concrete that was never tested or cured
 Cabinets that can\'t handle a garage
 Insulation and blocking: the wall is open exactly once
 Overhead storage the trusses were never rated to hold
 A garage that modern vehicles outgrew
 The conversion that took the parking

<description ><![CDATA[Your garage is the cheapest square footage you\'ll ever own. It\'s already framed, already roofed, already poured — and in most houses it\'s doing one job, badly.

I\'ve walked through thousands of homes over 23 years as a broker, and the garages that actually work are almost never the biggest ones. They\'re the ones where somebody made these twelve decisions on purpose instead of inheriting them.

In this video I break down the twelve biggest garage mistakes, ordered from the ones you can fix this weekend to the ones you\'re stuck with for as long as you own the house.

What we cover:
 Freestanding plastic shelving and why it fails
 Pegboard mounted flat against the wall
 One bulb in the middle of the ceiling
 The uninsulated garage door
 A workbench that\'s the wrong height — or the wrong size
 One 15-amp circuit running the entire garage
 Epoxy over concrete that was never tested or cured
 Cabinets that can\'t handle a garage
 Insulation and blocking: the wall is open exactly once
 Overhead storage the trusses were never rated to hold
 A garage that modern vehicles outgrew
 The conversion that took the parking

 The stuff worth knowing before you start spending, not after.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Your floor plan is the one thing you can\'t fix with a renovation budget. In this video, I\'m breaking down 9 floor plan mistakes that homeowners live with every single day — from bonus rooms that serve no purpose to garage layouts that were never designed with real life in mind. After 23 years walking through thousands of homes, these are the layout decisions I see people regret most.

 Free Guide: 10 Things to Know Before You Remodel → bit.ly/4eC1RGM

What\'s covered:
Bonus rooms with no identity
Pass-through bedrooms and what they do to your home\'s value
Garages that dominate the street facade
Backyards with no access from living areas
Garages with no interior entry
Rooms with no natural light (and why they can\'t legally be bedrooms)
Primary bedrooms sharing the wrong wall
Spiral staircases — beautiful, impractical, and a moving day nightmare
Formal dining rooms nobody actually uses
If you\'re buying, building, or just trying to understand why a room in your house has never felt right — start here.

After 23 years as a real estate broker walking through thousands of homes, I can tell you there are ten shower decisions that make buyers turn around in the doorway. Some of them are in brand new remodels.

In this video I break down the ten shower mistakes that quietly tank resale value, why buyers react to them the way they do, and what to do instead. Whether you\'re remodeling next month or just want to know what you\'re living with, this list will save you from spending money that works against you.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Every designer and trend report says open floor plans are dead. Builders still aren\'t listening. After 23 years walking buyers through thousands of homes, I know exactly why people stop loving open concept about 18 months in — and it\'s not what you think.

In this video I break down 9 specific problems with featureless open floor plans: sound, smells, furniture, HVAC, lighting, visibility, mess, privacy, and what it actually costs to put definition back once it\'s gone. More importantly, I tell you what to do about each one — without touching a single wall.
If you\'re living in an open plan, buying one, or deciding on a layout before the framing goes up, watch this first.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[You just spent $30,000 on a bathroom renovation. So why does something feel slightly... off?

As a real estate broker, I walk through hundreds of homes every year. And the most common bathroom design mistakes I see aren\'t code violations or shoddy workmanship — they are design oversights that happen in the gap between construction and your daily life.
Here is the truth: Your contractor is a builder, not a mind reader. If you don\'t explicitly tell them how you want the fine details handled, they will default to whatever is standard, fastest, or most cost-effective. Today I\'m revealing 10 crucial bathroom design details your contractor won\'t warn you about — so you can avoid a daily maintenance nightmare and protect your home\'s equity.

 Have you ever lived with one of these bathroom fails? Drop it in the comments — I read every single one.

3:34 - Mistake 2: The Flat Shower Curb & Windowsill
5:17 - Mistake 3: Grouting the Corners
7:05 - Mistake 4: The Raw Tile Edge
9:00 - Mistake 5: The Cheap Chrome Clash
11:00 - Mistake 6: The Ice Rink Floor
12:56 - Mistake 7: Subfloor Flex & Cracked Tile

<description ><![CDATA[You just spent $30,000 on a bathroom renovation. So why does something feel slightly... off?

As a real estate broker, I walk through hundreds of homes every year. And the most common bathroom design mistakes I see aren\'t code violations or shoddy workmanship — they are design oversights that happen in the gap between construction and your daily life.
Here is the truth: Your contractor is a builder, not a mind reader. If you don\'t explicitly tell them how you want the fine details handled, they will default to whatever is standard, fastest, or most cost-effective. Today I\'m revealing 10 crucial bathroom design details your contractor won\'t warn you about — so you can avoid a daily maintenance nightmare and protect your home\'s equity.

 Have you ever lived with one of these bathroom fails? Drop it in the comments — I read every single one.

0:58 - Mistake 1: The Default Tile Layout
3:34 - Mistake 2: The Flat Shower Curb & Windowsill
5:17 - Mistake 3: Grouting the Corners
7:05 - Mistake 4: The Raw Tile Edge
9:00 - Mistake 5: The Cheap Chrome Clash
11:00 - Mistake 6: The Ice Rink Floor
12:56 - Mistake 7: Subfloor Flex & Cracked Tile
14:12 - Mistake 8: The Vanity Drawer Blockage

Whether you\'re planning to build, buying new construction, or just want to stay ahead of where the industry is headed — you need to know what\'s coming.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[American homes are well built. But compared to the rest of the world? There are some things we\'ve been getting wrong for a long time — and most homeowners have no idea.
In this video I break down 10 home design and construction features that other countries figured out long ago — and that American homeowners consistently overlook. Some are structural. Some are pure design. All of them are actionable.
Topics covered:

Australia\'s indoor-outdoor connection and passive solar orientation
Germany\'s thick walls and integrated storage systems
France\'s entry foyer and mixing old with new
The Netherlands and their commitment to natural light
The UK\'s dedicated utility room
Mexico\'s courtyard living and color confidence

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Summer is here — and before you start that backyard project, watch this first. In this video I\'m walking through 15 backyard mistakes that homeowners almost always regret, from drainage and hardscape to pergolas, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, artificial turf, and even one front yard mistake that quietly costs homeowners real money at resale. With 23+ years of experience as a real estate broker and homeowner, I\'ve seen these mistakes play out hundreds of times. Save yourself the time, money, and frustration.

 Topics covered:
Too much concrete — the backyard parking lot mistake
Drainage done wrong (and how settled hardscape makes it worse)
Cheap pergolas that fall apart in a season
Composite decking installed without airflow
Fast-growing privacy trees planted too close to your foundation
Outdoor kitchens that become expensive eyesores
Locking trendy colors into permanent surfaces
Artificial turf — the no-maintenance myth
Lighting as an afterthought
Overspending on the fire pit
Mounting an indoor TV outside
Large backyard ponds
Reclaimed and barnwood used outdoors
Building a patio you can\'t see from inside the house
Front yard: ripping out the lawn for gravel or rock

Whether you\'re planning a backyard renovation, a new patio, or just want to avoid costly landscaping mistakes, this video covers everything you need to know before you spend a dollar.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[I just walked through a $2 million home where the owner spent $200,000 on their \"dream\" kitchen — and it was a daily nightmare. In this video, I\'m breaking down 12 massive kitchen design mistakes and layout decisions that homeowners regret most. I call them \"Value Killers\" — design choices that rob you of your daily peace of mind and create constant friction in the space you live in every single day.

We\'re going from the big stuff (Workflow Blindness, Island Bottlenecks) all the way down to the micro details (Drawer Slides, Hardware Snags) that determine whether your kitchen feels effortless or exhausting to live with. A kitchen renovation is likely the most expensive thing you\'ll ever do to your home. Let\'s make sure you get it right and actually love using it every day.

In this video I\'m breaking down 11 bathroom mistakes I see over and over again — mistakes that hurt your daily life and create frustration every single morning.

<description ><![CDATA[As a real estate broker I\'ve walked through thousands of homes — and I can tell you: most bathroom mistakes have nothing to do with expensive tile or fancy fixtures. They\'re layout and planning decisions that get locked in before a single tile is set. And once they\'re done, they\'re nearly impossible to fix without tearing everything apart.
In this video I\'m breaking down 11 bathroom mistakes I see over and over again — mistakes that hurt your daily life and create frustration every single morning.

We remodeled our bathroom 20 years ago — and the mold, rust, and regret are still there to prove it. I\'m sharing the biggest bathroom remodel mistakes we made so you don\'t repeat them in your own renovation.

Whether you\'re planning a bathroom remodel, choosing tile, or picking fixtures — watch this first.
In this video:

Pebble tile: why it was a nightmare (mold, grout, cleaning)
Ventilation mistakes that caused moisture damage and rust
Storage we forgot that we still regret
Lighting choices that aged terribly
What actually held up after 20 years
What I\'d do completely differently today

No contractor. No sponsorship. Just an honest homeowner review after living with these decisions for two decades.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Modern volume builders are selling you a house designed to last 30 years — not 100. We\'ve exposed the fast-growth wood and the structural cardboard. Today, we look at what replaces them.

This is the complete breakdown of woodless home construction and residential construction alternatives to framing a house with wood: Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF), Precast Factory Panels, Aircrete (AAC), and SCIP shotcrete walls. As a licensed real estate broker, I\'ll show you exactly how each system works, which climate and budget it fits, and — most importantly — the 3 hidden \"cons\" that no ICF salesperson will ever put in a brochure.

Before you spend $50K more on a concrete home, you need to watch this.

⏱️ CHAPTERS:
0:00 – Why wood framing is failing homeowners
1:16 – ICF: The giant Lego concrete house
4:31 – Precast panels: Your walls built in a factory
6:03 – Aircrete (AAC): The bubble concrete from Europe
7:10 – SCIP: Shooting liquid rock onto foam walls
8:00 – The 3 cons nobody in concrete marketing admits
10:13 – The verdict: Is a concrete home right for you?

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Most homeowners only think about quartz, granite, and marble — but there are four incredible countertop materials that get completely overlooked. As a real estate broker, I see the same mistake: people ignore porcelain, stainless steel, concrete, and formica because they assume these are cheap compromises. The truth? Some of these materials outperform the expensive trendy options.

After my quartz video hit over 3,000 comments and Part 1 of this series covered granite, quartzite, butcher block and marble — the question I kept getting was: what else is out there? The answer might surprise you. From the most hygienic surface on the planet to the one material the entire design industry spent 30 years telling you was embarrassing — this is the honest broker\'s guide to the countertops nobody talks about.

No marketing spin. No brand deals. Just real information so YOU can make the best decision for your kitchen.

⏱️ TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 — Introduction and Part 1 Recap
0:30 — Porcelain Slabs: The Most Underrated Countertop
2:55 — Stainless Steel: The Commercial Kitchen Look
6:46 — Concrete Pour: The One of a Kind Option
10:59 — Formica and Laminate: The Surprising Comeback
15:00 — The One Countertop I Left Off the List (And Why)

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[After walking through thousands of homes as a broker, I see homeowners make the same countertop choices — and then regret them 5-10 years later. In this video, I\'m breaking down quartz, granite, quartzite, and butcher block: not by price or trends, but by real durability, maintenance demands, and what actually holds up over a decade of daily use. If you\'re planning a kitchen remodel and trying to decide between these four materials, this is the honest comparison you need.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[I just got offered a brand deal for a smart toilet… which sent me down a rabbit hole of the most ridiculous luxury home upgrades I\'ve ever seen in the Bay Area.

Here\'s the thing: Homeowners are spending tens of thousands of dollars on fancy upgrades because they look amazing in magazines and on Instagram. But as a real estate broker who\'s walked through thousands of homes, I can tell you most of these are a total waste of money.

In this video, I\'m breaking down 10 of the most expensive luxury upgrades — smart toilets, motorized glass walls, heated driveways, hidden rooms, and more — and I\'m giving you the honest answer: Are they actually worth it? Plus, for every billionaire upgrade on this list, I\'m showing you the budget hack that gets you the same result for a fraction of the price.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[The massive, all-gray open concept is officially falling out of favor. With the housing market shifting in 2026, homeowners are staying put longer and redesigning their spaces for everyday life, comfort, and functionality instead of just a quick resale.

As a real estate broker in the San Francisco Bay Area, I get to see exactly what buyers are actually paying top dollar for—and what design trends they are completely skipping over. In this video, we are breaking down 5 home renovation trends that are taking over homes this year, and a few design choices that are officially on their way out!

 Let me know in the comments: Which of these 5 trends is your favorite?

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Entire countries are banning quartz countertops — and most homeowners have no idea why.

Before my own kitchen remodel 20 years ago, I thought quartz was 100% natural stone. I was wrong — and the countertop industry has pulled off one of the greatest marketing tricks in home design history.

They took crushed rock, glued it together with plastic resins, and convinced us to pay luxury prices for it. But now countries like Australia are outright banning engineered quartz, and California is slapping massive restrictions on it due to toxic health hazards.

But it\'s not just a health hazard for the workers — that plastic resin creates a massive functional flaw in your kitchen. From permanent scorch marks and yellowing from UV sunlight, to solid stone backsplashes literally cracking and exploding behind gas stoves.

In this video, I\'m giving you the brutal real estate reality check on the $10,000 quartz mistake, how it impacts your home\'s equity, and the scary \"Tip of the Iceberg\" reality about all the glued-together, man-made materials we are putting in our homes today.

 Let me know in the comments: Do you have Quartz in your home? How is it holding up?

Usually, on Savvy Home Owner, we focus on smart upgrades that drive up your home\'s equity. But today? We are throwing ROI completely out the window. I found 11 of the most over-the-top, insane, \"money-oozing-out-of-your-ears\" luxury home features on the market.

From air-powered glass tube elevators to machines that freeze your cocktail glasses in 3 seconds, these upgrades are a massive flex—but if you are trying to maximize your resale value, they are a total waste of money! Let\'s count down from 11 to 1 to see the absolute craziest things rich people put in their houses.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Are you about to sign a contract on a brand new home? Stop.
After the Disposable Home Epidemic went viral and got over 3,000 comments from contractors, builders and homeowners worldwide, I kept getting the same question: \"Mac, how do we protect ourselves BEFORE we buy?\"

In Part 3 of the Disposable Home series, I\'m pulling back the curtain on the \"Builder Grade\" illusion as a real estate broker who has seen this firsthand. We\'re exposing the \"Piece-Rate Pay\" labor crisis that drove master craftsmen out of the industry, the legal \"Ghost LLC\" structures that leave YOU holding the bill when things go wrong, and why \"Built to Code\" is essentially a D-minus — the bare legal minimum builders are allowed to get away with.

Most importantly — I\'m revealing the one inspection every new construction buyer must demand before drywall goes up. This single step could save your life savings.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Thinking about renovating your home? Watch this BEFORE you pick up a sledgehammer! 

It’s easy to drop $50,000 or $100,000 on a massive home upgrade to build your dream space, only to find out years later that your \"perfect\" renovation actually destroyed your home\'s equity. As a Bay Area real estate expert, I see this happen all the time. The craftsmanship might be flawless, but the underlying design decision actively pushes buyers away.
Welcome back to Savvy Home Owner! I’m Mac Rogers. Today, we are breaking down the 10 home upgrades that secretly drain your equity, ruin your resale value, and make your house incredibly hard to sell.

We’ll cover everything from the nightmare of unpermitted JADUs to the interior design trends that buyers are officially sick of (I’m looking at you, grey flipper kitchens and vessel sinks!). Plus, I’ll share a few crazy real-world stories from my clients here in the Bay Area.

 Let me know in the comments: Which of these 10 upgrades do you actually love, and which ones do you think I got completely wrong? Let\'s debate!

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Are we buying houses, or are we just buying a 30-year subscription to a structure that\'s designed to fail?

After my video on \"The Disposable Home Epidemic\" went viral, I received over 3,000 comments from builders, tradespeople, and homeowners across the globe — from Finland to Australia. You confirmed my biggest fear: the \"Plastic Wrap\" trend is a race to the bottom. But many of you also asked the tough questions: What about lead paint? What about copper pinhole leaks? And are old houses actually better, or is it just \"Survivorship Bias\"?

In Part 2 of the Disposable Home series, I\'m going behind the marketing of \"Energy Efficiency\" and \"Smart Homes\" to expose the 3 secrets builders don\'t want you to compare. We\'re talking about the transition from raw Timber to \"Industrial Fiber,\" the danger of sealing a house like a plastic bag, and why proprietary plumbing systems are turning your home into a ticking financial time bomb.
I\'m also sharing a personal warning from the 2008 housing crash. I saw firsthand how 1940s and 60s \"post-war\" gems were suffocated by cheap flips — houses that looked like HGTV sets on closing day but were literally falling apart within two years.

If you are deciding between a new build and an older home, you need to understand the difference between a house built as a product and a house built as a legacy.

 Watch the Full Disposable Home Series:
Part 1: The Disposable Home Epidemic: Why New Houses Are Built to Rot  https://youtu.be/LmXKR4SaoGE
Part 2: You are here
Part 3: How Builders Legally Cheat You (And How to Fight Back)  https://youtu.be/RXcc9_OB1ew

In this video, we cover:
 Why \"Industrial Fiber\" is the supply-chain secret builders use to save margins.
 The \"Tolerance Trap\": Why leaky old houses often outlast airtight new ones.
 The Serviceability War: Copper vs. PEX and the danger of \"Subscription Plumbing.\"
 2008 Throwback: The \"Lipstick on a Pig\" warning for mid-century flips.
 The Hybrid Home: How to find a house with the bones of 1950 and the systems of 2024.
TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 The 30-Year Subscription vs. The 100-Year Legacy
1:00 Why Builders Can’t Buy \"Timber\" Anymore
2:45 The Energy Efficiency Scam: The \"Plastic Bag\" Effect
4:09 Plumbing Secrets: Copper vs. Proprietary Plastic
5:50 Survivorship Bias: Why Not Every Old House is a Gem
8:10 My 2008 Warning: The \"Lipstick on a Pig\" Flip
10:00 The Verdict: How to Buy a \"Hybrid Home\"

<description ><![CDATA[Are we buying houses, or are we just buying a 30-year subscription to a structure that\'s designed to fail?

After my video on \"The Disposable Home Epidemic\" went viral, I received over 3,000 comments from builders, tradespeople, and homeowners across the globe — from Finland to Australia. You confirmed my biggest fear: the \"Plastic Wrap\" trend is a race to the bottom. But many of you also asked the tough questions: What about lead paint? What about copper pinhole leaks? And are old houses actually better, or is it just \"Survivorship Bias\"?

In Part 2 of the Disposable Home series, I\'m going behind the marketing of \"Energy Efficiency\" and \"Smart Homes\" to expose the 3 secrets builders don\'t want you to compare. We\'re talking about the transition from raw Timber to \"Industrial Fiber,\" the danger of sealing a house like a plastic bag, and why proprietary plumbing systems are turning your home into a ticking financial time bomb.
I\'m also sharing a personal warning from the 2008 housing crash. I saw firsthand how 1940s and 60s \"post-war\" gems were suffocated by cheap flips — houses that looked like HGTV sets on closing day but were literally falling apart within two years.

If you are deciding between a new build and an older home, you need to understand the difference between a house built as a product and a house built as a legacy.

 Watch the Full Disposable Home Series:
Part 1: The Disposable Home Epidemic: Why New Houses Are Built to Rot  https://youtu.be/LmXKR4SaoGE
Part 2: You are here
Part 3: How Builders Legally Cheat You (And How to Fight Back)  https://youtu.be/RXcc9_OB1ew

In this video, we cover:
 Why \"Industrial Fiber\" is the supply-chain secret builders use to save margins.
 The \"Tolerance Trap\": Why leaky old houses often outlast airtight new ones.
 The Serviceability War: Copper vs. PEX and the danger of \"Subscription Plumbing.\"
 2008 Throwback: The \"Lipstick on a Pig\" warning for mid-century flips.
 The Hybrid Home: How to find a house with the bones of 1950 and the systems of 2024.
TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 The 30-Year Subscription vs. The 100-Year Legacy
1:00 Why Builders Can’t Buy \"Timber\" Anymore
2:45 The Energy Efficiency Scam: The \"Plastic Bag\" Effect
4:09 Plumbing Secrets: Copper vs. Proprietary Plastic
5:50 Survivorship Bias: Why Not Every Old House is a Gem
8:10 My 2008 Warning: The \"Lipstick on a Pig\" Flip
10:00 The Verdict: How to Buy a \"Hybrid Home\"

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[It is March 2026. Mortgage rates have finally trended lower, breaking the 6% barrier globally. But while the \"magic number\" is here, the broader economy is cooling— and the rules for buying real estate have completely changed.

We are currently witnessing a \"Global Split.\" While AI hubs like the San Francisco Bay Area are seeing explosive wealth creation, \"legacy\" houses in standard neighborhoods are sitting on the market for months. This isn\'t just a local trend; it’s happening from the U.S. to Europe and Australia.
In my last video, I shared the \"5 Properties I Wouldn’t Touch with a 10-Foot Pole.\" Today, we’re playing offense. As a broker, I’m showing you where the Smart Money is moving to stay resilient. We’re looking past the fresh paint and the staging to analyze the surroundings, the bones of the house, and its long-term utility.

In this video, we cover:
 Why \"Separate Access\" is the secret to a high-value ADU.
 The \"Insurability\" crisis and how to spot a climate-resilient home.
 Why the \"15-minute suburb\" is outperforming the massive estate.
 How to follow the \"AI Splash Zone\" to find growth in a cooling economy.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Builders have been quietly removing the most functional features from new homes for decades — not because they stopped working, but because they cost more to include. In this video I\'m breaking down 7 forgotten home features that deserve a comeback: from whole house fans that cool your home without AC, to built-in window seats, central vacuum systems, boot rooms, full attic staircases, deep laundry utility sinks, and sleeping porches. These aren\'t trends — they\'re features that made homes genuinely better to live in, and they\'re disappearing from new builds.

I\'m Mac Rogers, a real estate broker with over 23 years of experience walking through thousands of homes. I know what works, what gets value-engineered out, and what homeowners wish they\'d asked for before they built.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Stop! Before you start your next remodel, you need to hear the Final Verdict. After my videos on 11 and 15 home design mistakes went viral, I spent weeks reading over 1,000 of your stories, maintenance horror stories, and technical advice.

Today, we are settling the score once and for all. From the \"Civil War\" over freestanding tubs to the technical truth about all-in-one washer/dryer combos and the real reason people are abandoning open floor plans—this is the definitive list of home upgrades to AVOID in 2026.

I’m Mac Rogers, a real estate broker in the San Francisco Bay Area. In this video, I’m combining my 20+ years of experience with the collective wisdom of thousands of homeowners to help you avoid expensive regrets and build a home that actually works for real life.
In this video, we cover:
 Why 90% of you are officially DONE with open floor plans.
 The \"Nightgown Factor\" and the \"Fly Problem\" in modern kitchens.
 The durability truth about Matte Black fixtures (it’s not just fingerprints).
 Why the All-in-One Washer/Dryer is a \"niche win\" but a \"family fail.\"
 My biggest \"miss\": I finally define exactly WTF an ADU is.
 The Rebuttal: Why I was wrong about freestanding tubs.

TIMESTAMP CHAPTERS:
0:00 The Comment Section Battlefield
1:20 Open Floor Plans: The \"Fishbowl\" Effect
3:59 Open Shelving & The \"Fly Factor\"
6:20 Matte Black Fixtures: The Peeling Reality
7:22 Square Sinks & The Toothbrush Tax
8:41 Washer/Dryer Combos: Heat Pump vs. Condenser
10:18 Island Cooktops & The \"Benihana\" Problem
11:10 Freestanding Tubs: The Royal Family Rebuttal
13:00 The \"Pain in the Neck\" TV Height
13:50 What is an ADU? (Accessory Dwelling Units Explained)
15:30 Final Verdict & My Disclaimer

RESOURCES MENTIONED:
11 Home Design Mistakes Video: https://youtu.be/dEwHm5D8ycM
15 MORE Horrible Upgrades Video: https://youtu.be/74e3HRV1PzA

DISCLAIMER:
At the end of the day, it is YOUR home. If you love an open floor plan or a matte black faucet, you should have it! My goal is simply to make sure you go into these decisions with your eyes open to the \"maintenance tax\" and resale implications. Live in a space that makes you happy.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[I Renovated My Kitchen 20 Years Ago: What I Regret (and What I Did Right)

As a Real Estate Broker, I see kitchen renovation mistakes every single day that kill resale value. But the biggest lessons I learned about design, layout, and ROI actually came from my own kitchen remodel over 20 years ago.

But before you do that, if you are like me and are concerned about the water that you drink, check out Epic Water Filters - Made In the USA!!! - Affiliate link. Not a sponsored video.
https://epicwaterfilters.myshopify.com?ref=KMFYPCTBRI

In this video, I’m taking you on a tour of my personal kitchen. I’ll share the specific design choices we made as inexperienced homeowners that I absolutely regret today, the features that actually stood the test of time, and how I would fix this dated kitchen today for a fraction of the cost of a full gut renovation.

If you are planning a kitchen remodel in 2026 or just want to update your dated kitchen on a budget, this video will show you exactly where to spend your money and where to save it.
In this video, we cover:

The \"Trendy\" Trap: Why the backsplash and tile choices we loved in 2006 scream \"dated\" today (and what to pick instead).

Layout Nightmares: The specific work-triangle mistakes that make cooking annoying and hurt the flow of the home.

The \"No-Demo\" Fix: My step-by-step plan to update this kitchen for under $5,000 using paint, hardware, and lighting hacks without ripping out a single cabinet.

Real Estate ROI: What buyers actually care about vs. what homeowners think they care about.

Timeless vs. Dated: Which materials (like solid wood cabinets) are worth keeping and refinishing.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[With mortgage rates finally dipping below 6% in 2026, the temptation to jump back into the market is at an all-time high. But in this \"Split Economy,\" buying the wrong house at a \"good rate\" is the fastest way to lose wealth.

I’m Mac Rogers, a real estate broker in the San Francisco Bay Area, and today I’m sharing a serious reality check for anyone buying a home this year. After decades in the business, I’ve identified 5 specific property types I wouldn\'t touch with a 10-foot pole in 2026—unless you are fully prepared for the hidden costs and global regulatory shifts that most buyers are ignoring.

Whether you’re in California, London, or Sydney, these are the \"Wealth Traps\" that turn a dream home into a financial liability.

0:00 The 2026 Real Estate \"Split Economy\"
1:15 Trap #1: The Legacy Urban Condo (Special Assessments)
2:45 Trap #2: The Uninsurable Fixer-Upper (Climate-Risk Factors)
4:15 Trap #3: \"Pseudo-Luxury\" New Builds (The Quality Illusion)
5:45 Trap #4: Short-Term Rental Crackdowns (NYC, Barcelona, & Beyond)
7:15 Trap #5: Leased Land Communities (The Affordability Trap)
8:30 How to Spot the Market Winners & Final Advice

Every one of these properties could be the right move for the right person, but you MUST go in with your eyes wide open. If you want to see the other side of this coin—the specific property types that are actually thriving and building equity in this new economy—make sure to SUBSCRIBE and hit the bell for my upcoming deep dive into the \"8 Market Winners of 2026.\"

If you are planning a move in the San Francisco Bay Area, my team and I work directly with clients to build savvy, data-backed strategies for buying and selling.

Living outside of California? Don\'t navigate this cooling economy alone. I’ve built a national network of highly reputable, savvy agents across the U.S. If you need a pro in your corner who sees the market the way we do, reach out to me below. I’ll personally connect you with a top-tier professional in your specific market.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[9 Tacky Home Trends That Are FINALLY Dead in 2026

Is your home stuck in a design time capsule? In this video, I’m breaking down the 9 tacky home trends that are officially, tragically dead in 2026—including one “luxury” upgrade that can devalue even a multi-million dollar custom home.

As a Real Estate Broker, I spend my life at the intersection of DIY projects and the closing table. I’ve seen firsthand how \"trendy\" renovations quickly become expensive mistakes when it’s time to sell. My channel is dedicated to telling the truth about what actually builds equity and what just kills your resale value. Whether you’re staying put for twenty years or getting ready to list, your home should be a smart investment, not a collection of outdated fads.

Today, we are getting honest about what needs to go. From the \"Chevron Crisis\" and the \"Buddhamania\" cliché to the maintenance nightmare of jewel-toned velvet, I’m sharing the \"Voice of Reason\" perspective you won\'t hear in a furniture catalog. We discuss why the design world is moving away from \"fast-fashion\" decor and toward \"Quiet Luxury\"—the idea that quality should be felt through texture and authentic materials, not shouted through \"bling\" and mirrored furniture.

Stick around for the end, where I share a personal story about a high-end listing with a \"tin foil ceiling\" that turned off every serious buyer who walked through the door. It is a cautionary tale for anyone thinking about gluing plastic to their equity.

I’m here to help you navigate the difference between a home that looks good for a 15-second social media clip and a home that stands the test of time. If you’re about to start a renovation or a weekend DIY project, watch this first to make sure your investment is protected.

Which of these trends are you currently living with? Do you agree that these are finally dead, or are you keeping yours? Drop a comment below—I’ll be hanging out in the comments giving my honest, \"Skeptical Broker\" take on your upcoming projects.

I’m Mac Rogers, the Savvy HomeOwner. Build smart, stay skeptical, and thanks for watching.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Spending $50,000+ on a kitchen renovation… only to have it look cheap or dated the moment it’s done?

I’m already seeing homeowners in 2026 making the same costly kitchen mistakes that quietly destroy resale value.

In this video, I break down 17 specific kitchen design choices—from hardware and cabinetry to lighting and layout—that make a kitchen look like a rushed flip instead of a thoughtful renovation. More importantly, I show you exactly how to fix each one so your kitchen looks timeless, functional, and high-end for years to come.

What we cover:

Why matte black hardware now screams “flip house” (and what to use instead)

The hidden problem with push-to-open cabinets

Why glazed antique finishes and orange wood instantly date your home

The real issue with multi-tier islands, waterfall slabs, and oversized pendants

Why open shelving, smart fridge screens, and busy backsplashes age fast

The difference between a kitchen with a theme vs. a kitchen with a vibe

Small layout and appliance decisions that quietly kill value

How today’s “quiet luxury” kitchens are actually being designed

This isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about avoiding expensive mistakes that buyers immediately notice—even if they can’t explain why something feels “off.”

 Question for you: Which of these are you guilty of?
Drop it in the comments.

If you’re planning a kitchen renovation this year, grab my budget worksheet below so you don’t overspend in the wrong places.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Ever wonder what a $2,000,000 home actually looks like in one of the world\'s most intense real estate markets?

Today’s video is a little different, but kind of the same. Every week on this channel, I share tips on how to be a savvy home owner—but to truly understand those strategies, you need to see the real-world environment that shapes my experience as a broker here in the San Francisco Bay Area.

In this video, I’m taking you inside a custom $2.1 million estate in the East Bay to show you exactly what that price point buys you in 2026.

What you’ll learn in this video:
The Myth of the \"Typical\" American Home: Why $2 million buys a mansion in the South, a brownstone on the East Coast, but something entirely different in California.

The Geographic Connector: Why the East Bay is the \"strategic bridge\" between the global innovation of San Francisco and the massive tech wealth of Silicon Valley.

Inside a $2M Home: A full walkthrough of a 5-bedroom custom build, including the \"Center of Life\" kitchen design and the rare value of a flat lot in the Bay Area hills.

Whether you are planning on selling, just bought your house, or are watching from outside the U.S. and want to see the reality of the California market—this tour provides the context for the tips I share every week.

Ready to buy or sell in the Bay Area?

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Thinking of selling in 2026? Or do you just want your home to feel more high-end while you live there? In this remastered guide, I’m breaking down the 8 most common decor mistakes that literally cheapen your home and stop buyers from making offers.

As a Real Estate Broker in the East Bay, I’ve seen $1.2 million homes sit on the market for weeks longer than they should because of a \"mental tax\" buyers put on the house the moment they walk in. Whether it’s an unruly yard or a fuchsia bedroom, these \"personality takeovers\" are costing you thousands of dollars at the closing table.

In this video, you’ll learn:
 Why \"Curb Appeal\" is your only chance at a first impression.
 The \"Broker’s Disclaimer\": Why your home is a sanctuary, but your house is an asset.
 How to fix the \"Beige Trap\" and mismatched furniture without buying new pieces.
 My #1 \"Invisible\" deal-killer that snaps inspectors\' heads back.
 Simple hardware hacks to make an old house feel brand new for under $100.

Even if you have zero plans to move, avoiding these red flags will increase your pride of ownership and make your home feel refreshed and modern for you to enjoy right now.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[12 Kitchen Trends Taking Over in 2026 (Do This Instead)
The \"Operating Room\" kitchen is officially dead. No more sterile gray laboratories or peeling matte black hardware. If you are planning a renovation or building a home, you need to know what high-end custom builders are actually installing in their 2026 spec homes right now.

In this video, I’m breaking down the 12 specific design hacks—from the \"15-Inch Cabinet Hack\" to the \"Recessed Fridge Wall\"—that will save you thousands of dollars while making your kitchen look completely custom. Whether you are using semi-custom cabinets or going full luxury, these are the trends that will actually last.

0:00 Intro
0:40 #1. New cabinet standard
2:48 #2. 15-inch upper cabinet hack
3:59 #3. Industrial appliances to furniture range hood
5:24 #4. Recessed fridge wall
6:36 #5. Eliminating backsplash outlets
7:30 #6. Evolution of the backsplash
8:35 #7. Switch to induction cooking
9:26 #8. Takeover of the work station sink
10:23 #9. Setting the mood with layered LED lighting
11:11 #10. Shift in flooring
11:52 #11. Battle of countertops
12:37 #12. Island glow-up

 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS VIDEO:
Rift-Cut White Oak: Why the milling process matters for that \"architectural\" look.
Putty & Mushroom Tones: The specific paint colors (SW Accessible Beige & BM Natural Cream) replacing stark white.
The Fridge Hack: How to get the $15,000 SubZero look using a standard refrigerator and a simple framing trick.
Plugmold: How to hide your outlets to keep your marble backsplash looking like a piece of art.

As a Real Estate Broker in the San Francisco Bay Area, I spend my life at the intersection of DIY projects and the closing table.

Whether you’re staying put for twenty years or getting ready to list, these 9 design choices are officially \"Value-Killers.\" From the \"Chevron Crisis\" to my personal horror story about \"Tin Foil Ceilings,\" we’re getting honest about what needs to go.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Thinking about renovating? Watch this first. As a Real Estate Broker, I see homeowners accidentally wipe $50,000 off their home\'s value with just one of these 7 mistakes.
Before you bring in the contractor or start knocking down walls, you need to know which \"upgrades\" are actually \"regrets.\" In this video, I’m breaking down 7 major renovation mistakes from two perspectives: a Real Estate Broker (what buyers hate) and a construction perspective (what breaks, leaks, or rots).
Whether you\'re renovating for your forever home or prepping for resale, these are the choices that could haunt your bank account.
 Download my Free Home Value Checklist: [Link to your website/lead magnet]
In this video, we cover:
 Why \"Bedroom Deletion\" is the ultimate ROI killer.
 The hidden danger of painting exterior brick (and what to do instead).
 Why luxury plumbing like wall-mounted faucets can become a $1,000 nightmare.
 The \"Builder Grade\" kitchen mistake that dates your remodel instantly.
 How trendy tile choices become the \"shag carpet\" of the 2020s.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Modern homes are missing some genius features. We spend thousands making our homes \"smart\" with wifi and cameras, but we forgot the design hacks that made homes 100 years ago actually work.

As a Real Estate Broker, I walk through thousands of houses. I see endless modern \"open concept\" boxes that look great on Instagram but are a nightmare to live in. Meanwhile, older homes had brilliant solutions for noise, storage, and airflow that we completely abandoned.

In this video, I’m breaking down 20 Forgotten Home Features—from the brilliant to the bizarre. We’ll look at why they disappeared, why that was a mistake, and which ones you need to bring back to add real equity and functionality to your next renovation project.

IN THIS VIDEO:
Are you planning a kitchen remodel in 2026? Be careful. Some of the most popular kitchen design trends from the last few years are fading fast, and installing them now could kill your home\'s resale value.

In this video, I break down the 10 kitchen trends that you will regret in 2026. From oversized islands that ruin your workflow to the \"gap\" above your cabinets that collects dust, I\'ll show you exactly what to avoid—and what to do instead.

As a Real Estate Broker in the San Francisco Bay Area, I see these mistakes in open houses every week. Don\'t spend $50,000 on a kitchen you\'ll hate in two years.

 TOPICS COVERED:
Why massive kitchen islands are actually a design flaw.
The problem with \"extreme veining\" on countertops (and why it looks cheap).
Why smart appliances are a bad investment for resale.
The truth about pot fillers, open shelving, and handle-less cabinets.
TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 - The Pinterest Trap
1:00 - 1. Oversized Kitchen Islands
2:02 - 2. Extreme Veining Countertops
3:01 - 3. Integrated Appliances (The \"Hidden\" Trap)
4:19 - 4. Ultra-Trendy Cabinet Colors
5:03 - 5. Over-Engineered Smart Appliances
5:34 - 6. Overly Minimalist Cabinets
6:07 - 7. The Truth About Pot Fillers
7:00 - 8. Open Shelving Regrets
7:15 - 9. The \"Cabinet Gap\" Mistake
8:03 - 10. High-Gloss Finishes

You’ll learn about:

Why a mini bidet attachment is a surprisingly great upgrade
This is my Amazon link for this LUXURY bidet from Toto.

How an attic fan helps your whole house, not just the attic

What “well-designed drought-tolerant landscaping” really looks like (and what it doesn’t)

Why an EV charger or EV-ready outlet matters now more than ever
Tesla branded EV chargers are expensive. Here are some alternatives. I dont which is which for other EVs. Sorry
https://amzn.to/4pMCPJ3

How a whole-home water filtration & air quality system adds quiet comfort
You\'ll probably need a plumber to have these filters installed.
https://amzn.to/4s9P3Ny

The value of a clean, functional garage upgrade (storage, floor, opener)

How to repurpose unused space for maximum everyday benefit

Why motion-sensing lighting inside and out is a small upgrade with big impact
I love motion sensing lights. Here\'s one that I have in several places at my home.

How installing quality ceiling fan improves comfort and energy use

In this month’s East Bay housing market report, we cover what’s really happening right now:

Why the Federal Reserve’s latest rate cut and shifting mortgage rates are impacting local buyers and sellers

Key trends across the 880 Corridor, West Contra Costa, Central Contra Costa, Lamorinda, Tri-Valley, and the Delta

What the numbers mean for pricing, days on market, and inventory

What to expect heading into winter 2025 and early 2026

Whether you’re buying, selling, or just tracking the East Bay real estate cycle, this report gives you the context and insights you need.

Highlights:
• Home sales steady year-over-year, but up for the third month in a row
• Average days on market: 31 (vs. 25 last year)
• Inventory increasing in many areas, but prices reacting differently by neighborhood
• Regional recap:
– 880 Corridor: listings up, prices up (Albany +25%, Oakland +10%)
– West Contra Costa: inventory and prices up (San Pablo +10%)
– Central Contra Costa: mixed results (Clayton up, Martinez down)
– Lamorinda: listings up, prices down
– Tri-Valley: big inventory gains, prices mostly down
– Delta: more listings, prices and sales down

Why it matters:
Sellers still have momentum in some micro-markets, but pricing smartly is key.
Buyers finally have a little more leverage as homes stay on the market longer.
Mortgage rates near 6.1–6.3% mean affordability remains tight, but stability could be coming soon.

Housing Market Crash 2026? Here’s What’s Really Going On

Everyone’s talking about a housing market crash — but the data says otherwise.
In this video, I break down what’s really happening with home prices, mortgage rates, and housing inventory heading into 2025, 2026, and beyond.

Forget the fear-driven headlines like “Crash Incoming!” or “Home Prices Flat.”
Here’s what the experts — including Fannie Mae, NAR, CoreLogic, and the California Association of Realtors — are actually saying about where the market’s headed.

Home prices are still expected to rise 2–3.5% annually — not fall.
The fundamentals today look nothing like 2008: stricter lending, lower inventory, and stronger buyers.
Mortgage rates could ease toward the low-6% or even high-5% range in 2026, and that’s already opening doors for more buyers and sellers to make moves again.

This isn’t a crash — it’s a reset. The housing market is shifting toward balance and sustainability.
Some markets will cool, others will heat up — but nationally, we’re seeing a normalization, not a collapse.

If you’re buying, selling, or just watching the market, this is the update you need to cut through the noise.

Are you moving to the Bay Area? Or do you already live here and are considering a move to another area? I have spent most of my life in the Bay Area (peninsula & east bay) and can be your guide for EVERYTHING the Bay Area has to offer. 

 We have so many people contacting us who are moving here and we ABSOLUTELY love it! Honestly, if you are moving or relocating here or any surrounding areas, we can make that transition so much easier on you!!

Every year in the Bay Area real estate market, homebuyers lose tens of thousands of dollars—or worse, they lose their dream home—because of avoidable mistakes. In this video, I walk you through the 8 biggest mistakes buyers make (plus a bonus), and show you how to avoid them so you don’t end up regretting your purchase.

 What You’ll Learn

Mistake #1: Skipping pre-approval / full underwriting (this one alone can tank your offer)

Mistake #2: Falling in love with the home and ignoring the neighborhood

Mistake #3: Waiving inspections / skipping due diligence (yes, people do this!)

Mistake #4: Not reading disclosures thoroughly

Mistake #5: Assuming disclosures will always be available before an offer

Mistake #6: Misunderstanding your true budget (your ceiling is more than just your pre-approval)

Mistake #7: Letting emotions rule your decision

Mistake #8: Trying to time the market

BONUS: Believing “something better will show up” when inventory increases

If you’re buying in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, San Jose, Castro Valley, the East Bay, or anywhere in the Bay Area, this is one you can’t skip.

 Free Resource: Bay Area Home Buyer’s Guide
I put together a step-by-step guide that walks you through financing, inspections, disclosures, making competitive offers, and more. Grab your free copy here: [Insert your lead magnet link]

 Why This Matters
The Bay Area is one of the toughest real estate markets in the country. Get this wrong, and you could overpay by $50,000 or more, buy a property with big hidden repair costs, or lose out entirely. I’ve seen it happen—so my goal is to keep that from happening to you.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[ 15 Home Design Mistakes You’ll Regret
Are you tempted by a sleek kitchen island cooktop, ultra-matte black fixtures, or a seamless indoor-outdoor floor? Before you dive in… stop. In this video, I uncover 15 home design upgrades that look amazing in photos—but can turn into regrets in real life. I’m Mac Rogers — I keep tabs on the Bay Area real estate market and neighborhood trends, so you can make confident decisions without second-guessing.
0:00 Intro
1:17 1. Downdraft Cooked Up Ventilation 
2:16 2. Cooktops on Kitchen Islands 
3:53 3. Curbless Showers with Linear Drains 
4:56 4. All-in-One Washer Dryer Combos 
5:55 5. Matte Black Faucets and Shower Hardware 
6:42 6. Shadow Gap Baseboards 
7:27 7. Microcement Floors and Walls 
8:50 8. Huge Sliding or Folding Glass Walls 
9:42 9. Continuous Floors 
10:38 10. Pivot Front Doors 
11:26 11. Composite Decking in Full Sun 
12:23 12. Artificial Turf Yards 
13:35 13. Dark Exterior Paints 
14:57 14. Motorised Shades and Always Online Smartlocks 
16:11 15. Black Stainless Steel Appliances 

From downdraft cooktops that fail to capture steam to pivot front doors that let in drafts and composites decks that burn your feet—these are the mistakes I’ve seen (and heard) from homeowners, designers, contractors and fellow agents in my 20 + years in the Bay Area real estate game.

️ What you’ll get in this video:

Real-world pros vs. cons of trendy design features

Why an upgrade that looks great online might not work great at home

My take (and what I’ve learned from clients + contractors)

A reminder: it’s your home, so do what makes you happy—but know what you’re signing up for

 Why it matters
Design trends come and go. But the practical stuff—function, maintenance, durability—never goes out of style. Especially if you’re planning to live in your home for years, or eventually sell in the Bay Area, you’ll want upgrades that age well.

 What this video isn’t

A “never do this” list—if you love something, go for it.

A substitute for a personalized design consultation (every home is different).

A shortcut for skipping maintenance or craftsmanship details.

Have you experienced one of these design regrets firsthand? Drop a comment below—I’d love to hear your story.

 Call to Action

If you found this helpful, hit Like, Subscribe, and the  notification bell.
And—comment below: Which design upgrade are you planning to skip (or rethink) after watching this?

Thinking about selling your Bay Area home? Don’t do anything until you watch this. Every year, home sellers lose tens of thousands — sometimes even $50,000 to $100,000 or more — by making small but expensive mistakes that are totally avoidable.

In this video, I break down the most common and most costly mistakes Bay Area home sellers make, plus real examples that show how to avoid them and protect your hard-earned equity.

 What you’ll learn:

Why pricing your home too high can actually make you sell for less

How staging your home can increase your sale price and speed up your sale

The surprising truth about timing your listing for maximum exposure

Why skipping repairs and pre-sale prep can scare off serious buyers

The marketing mistakes that cost sellers tens of thousands

Why going For Sale By Owner (FSBO) often leads to lower profits

How being too emotional or inflexible with showings can un-alive (can\'t use the K word) your deal

I’ve seen Bay Area sellers miss out on huge profits not because of the market — but because of these mistakes. Don’t let that happen to you.

 According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR):

83% of buyer agents say staging helps buyers visualize a property as their future home.

29% of listing agents say staging increases offers by 1–10%.

Professionally photographed homes get 61% more online views and sell 32% faster.

If you’re planning to sell your home in the Bay Area — whether it’s in Danville, San Ramon, Oakland, or Walnut Creek — this guide could save you serious money.

 Watch until the end for the bonus mistake that surprises almost every seller.

 Want to sell your Bay Area home for top dollar?
I help homeowners price, prepare, and position their homes to sell faster and for more money — without the stress.

 October 2025 East Bay Housing Market Update

In this video, I’m breaking down what’s happening right here in the East Bay real estate market — with fresh MLS data through September 2025.

Before we dive into the local numbers, I’ll give you a quick snapshot of what’s happening across the U.S. and California, then we’ll zoom in on East Bay cities like Alameda, Contra Costa, Fremont, Hayward, Livermore, Pleasanton, Walnut Creek, and more.

 Here’s what you’ll see in this update:

How the national and California markets are setting the stage for fall

Which East Bay areas are seeing more listings and longer days on market

Where prices are softening vs. holding steady

Why pending sales are up, signaling a busier season ahead

 Key takeaway: Buyers are getting more choices and time to shop, while sellers are adjusting to a slower pace. Prices have eased in some spots but remain stable across much of the East Bay.

 I’m Mac Rogers. I keep tabs on the Bay Area real estate market and neighborhood trends, so you can make confident decisions without second-guessing.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling in the East Bay this fall, let’s connect — I can walk you through what these numbers mean for your situation.

Are you moving to the Bay Area? Or do you already live here and are considering a move to another area? I have spent most of my life in the Bay Area (peninsula & east bay) and can be your guide for EVERYTHING the Bay Area has to offer. 

 We have so many people contacting us who are moving here and we ABSOLUTELY love it! Honestly, if you are moving or relocating here or any surrounding areas, we can make that transition so much easier on you!!

I am a licensed Real Estate Agent here in Castro Valley who would love to help assist you with all of your real estate needs. 

Reach ME day/night/weekends ANYTIME!

I’ve heard it again and again — people moving from San Francisco or the Peninsula to the East Bay say: “No one warned me about the reality of living here.”
In this video, I break down 7 no-BS truths you need to know before making the move. Whether you’re buying your first home, upgrading, or relocating across state lines — these lessons matter.

You’ll learn:

How knowing your “why” anchors every decision

Why your vision needs to be more specific than “I want more space”

How location choices affect your lifestyle and your investment

What culture shock really looks like (especially commuting, weather, daily routines)

The truth about community — it doesn’t just appear

How your lifestyle will shift (weather, driving, “space premium”)

Why your first house here might not be your forever home

 CTA: If you’re actively looking to move to the East Bay (or anywhere with similar tradeoffs), I’d love to help you pick the right neighborhood, home, and strategy. Drop a comment below or email me — let’s talk.

Keywords / Tags / Hashtags to Include:
moving to East Bay, East Bay real estate, East Bay home buying, Bay Area relocation, moving from SF to East Bay, East Bay neighborhoods, homebuyer tips, community building, Caltrain, BART, weather differences, East Bay lifestyle, #brokermac

 October 2025 Bay Area & East Bay Housing Market Update

If your plan last year was to wait for Bay Area home prices to drop… let’s see how that strategy is playing out. In this video, I break down the latest market numbers straight from our local MLS (as of September 30, 2025) — covering California statewide, Bay Area counties, and finally a deep dive into the East Bay (Alameda & Contra Costa).

 Here’s what you’ll learn in this update:

How California’s housing market is performing right now

Which Bay Area counties are holding steady, and which ones are seeing more shifts

Why East Bay homes are taking longer to sell — but prices haven’t dropped as much as many expected

What this means if you’re thinking of buying or selling this fall

Whether you’re in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, Sonoma, or Napa — this market update will give you the context you need to make confident decisions.

 Key Takeaway: Prices across most Bay Area counties are flat to slightly higher compared to last year, but buyers are gaining leverage with longer days on market and motivated sellers.

Are you moving to the Bay Area? Or do you already live here and are considering a move to another area? I have spent most of my life in the Bay Area (peninsula & east bay) and can be your guide for EVERYTHING the Bay Area has to offer. 

 We have so many people contacting us who are moving here and we ABSOLUTELY love it! Honestly, if you are moving or relocating here or any surrounding areas, we can make that transition so much easier on you!!

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Are you making costly home design mistakes without even realizing it? In this video, I’m breaking down 11 home design features you’ll regret in 2025 — from open shelving to marble countertops, garage conversions, and even elaborate backyard playsets. These upgrades might look amazing in magazines or model homes, but when it comes to resale value, daily maintenance, and buyer appeal, they can quickly turn into major regrets.

Whether you’re a homeowner planning renovations, a buyer trying to spot red flags, or a seller preparing to list your home, this guide will help you avoid the most common pitfalls.

0:00 Intro
0:55 1. Open shelving and glass cabinet doors
2:08 2- Open floor plans gone overboard.
3:07 3. Converting garages and ADUs.
5:16 4. Frees standing and jacuzzi tubs.
6:34 5. Marble counter tops.
8:10 6. Home theater rooms.
9:58 7. Outdoor kitchens.
11:28 8. Improperly sized kitchen islands & waterfall edges.
13:14 9. Above ground pools.
15:54 10. Elaborate backyard playsets & oversized yard features.
16:46 11. Over-customization.

 What You’ll Learn in This Video:

Why open shelving and glass cabinets look better in Airbnbs than real life

How open floor plans can go too far and make smaller homes feel chaotic

The big mistake with garage conversions and ADUs buyers often reject

Why freestanding tubs, whirlpool tubs, and marble countertops are high-maintenance regrets

The decline of home theater rooms and outdoor kitchens

How oversized kitchen islands & waterfall countertops hurt functionality and budgets

Why above-ground pools, oversized playsets, and giant water features almost always scare buyers away

The danger of over-customization that reduces bedroom count and resale value

These aren’t just theories — I’ve seen them firsthand in my years as a Bay Area Realtor. Some of my clients learned the hard way, and I don’t want you to make the same mistakes.

 If you’re thinking about remodeling or selling your home in 2025, this is a must-watch!

 Like this video if you found it helpful

 Comment below: What’s the worst home feature you’ve ever seen?

Are you moving to the Bay Area? Or do you already live here and are considering a move to another area? I have spent most of my life in the Bay Area (peninsula & east bay) and can be your guide for EVERYTHING the Bay Area has to offer. 

 We have so many people contacting us who are moving here and we ABSOLUTELY love it! Honestly, if you are moving or relocating here or any surrounding areas, we can make that transition so much easier on you!!

I am a licensed Real Estate Agent here in Castro Valley who would love to help assist you with all of your real estate needs.

Selling a home in today’s market isn’t easy. With high mortgage rates, stubborn home prices, and fewer qualified buyers, many sellers are asking the same question: “If my house doesn’t sell, should I rent it out instead?”

This video breaks down the growing trend of accidental landlords — homeowners who wanted to sell but ended up renting their property. We’ll cover:

Why more sellers are renting instead of selling right now

The risks and responsibilities of being a landlord

3 key questions to ask before you rent your home

The hidden costs most first-time landlords don’t expect

When it still makes sense to sell instead of rent

Along the way, we’ll highlight insights from CNBC, Yahoo Finance, Redfin, and Bankrate — plus financial expert Dave Ramsey’s warning that real estate is not truly passive income.

Buying a Home in the Bay Area: What Different Incomes Really Get You

Buying a home in the Bay Area feels impossible, right? With median prices over $1M in Alameda County and around $900K in Contra Costa County, the old “3x your salary” rule doesn’t cut it anymore.

In this video, I’ll break down what different household incomes—$125K, $200K, and $300K—can actually afford in today’s market. We’ll walk through the common affordability rules (28/36, 30%, 30/30/3, and even Dave Ramsey’s plan) and see how they stack up against Bay Area prices.

And to make it real, I’ll show you an actual home for sale in Hayward and run the numbers:

3 bed, 2 bath, 2-car garage

Listed at $1,050,000

We’ll factor in the down payment, loan size, monthly payment, PLUS typical debts like credit cards, car loans, and student loans.

By the end, you’ll see exactly what it takes to buy in this market—and the real secret behind how so many Bay Area buyers are affording these prices (hint: it’s not just salary).

 Topics Covered:

Bay Area median home prices vs income

What $125K, $200K, and $300K household incomes afford

How the affordability rules actually play out here

Real-world example: 3740 Oakes Dr, Hayward, CA

The hidden role of stock options & bonuses in Bay Area buying power

3 bed, 2 bath, 2-car garage

Listed at $1,050,000

We’ll factor in the down payment, loan size, monthly payment, PLUS typical debts like credit cards, car loans, and student loans.

By the end, you’ll see exactly what it takes to buy in this market—and the real secret behind how so many Bay Area buyers are affording these prices (hint: it’s not just salary).

 Topics Covered:

Bay Area median home prices vs income

What $125K, $200K, and $300K household incomes afford

How the affordability rules actually play out here

Real-world example: 3740 Oakes Dr, Hayward, CA

The hidden role of stock options & bonuses in Bay Area buying power

Oakland, California was just ranked the worst city in America for first-time homebuyers — and the second most dangerous city in the nation. But what’s really going on with Oakland real estate, housing affordability, and neighborhood safety?

In this video, I break down the numbers:

Oakland’s true median home price (MLS vs. national reports)

Why Millennial and Gen Z homeownership is so low in the Bay Area

How San Jose, San Francisco, Fremont, and Santa Rosa also landed near the bottom of the list

Why Bakersfield, Modesto, and Fresno are way more affordable for first-time buyers

What crime data says about Oakland — and why the story is more complex than headlines suggest

A drive through Oakland’s East Oakland International Blvd corridor (75th–102nd) and a contrast with Parkridge Estates in Skyline

Whether you’re thinking about buying your first home, selling, or just curious about the Oakland housing market, this video gives you the full picture — the risks, the opportunities, and the local perspective you won’t get anywhere else.

East Bay Housing Market Report – September 2025

Mortgage rates are finally back in the low 6% range, and with the Fed expected to cut rates soon, the big question is: will this bring more buyers back into the market?

In this month’s East Bay housing market update, I’ll cover:

The latest on mortgage rates (now in the low 6s, lowest in nearly a year).

The August jobs report and what it means for Fed rate cuts.

What’s happening in the California and Bay Area housing markets.

A city-by-city breakdown of the East Bay, including the 880 Corridor, West Contra Costa, Central Contra Costa, Lamorinda, Tri-Valley, and the Delta.

The theme this September? More homes for sale, mixed prices, and slower sales. Buyers finally have more choices, but sellers still need to price competitively to attract offers.

 Fremont sales jumped 35% when homes were priced right, while Brentwood and Danville saw sales fall more than 20%. Prices are all over the place — Hayward up 8%, Fremont down 11%, Oakley down 14%.

 Watch until the end, where I break down what lower rates could mean for the rest of 2025 and ask the question: will a Fed rate cut unleash a new wave of buyers?

Think you’ll never be able to buy a home in the Bay Area — or anywhere else?
In this video, I’m breaking down the real reasons buyers get stuck, miss out, or get priced out… and what you can actually do about it.

We’ll cover:
 The mindset traps that keep you from even starting
 Why tracking your money changes everything
 The hidden costs of homeownership most buyers ignore
 How unrealistic price expectations hold you back
 The truth about interest rates in today’s market
 Why there’s no such thing as a “forever home”
 How the wrong loan can cost you big
 Knowing who your competition really is (and how to beat them)
 Why waiting for the “perfect” market is a losing game

Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or thinking about making your next move, these 9 points will give you the reality check — and the strategies — you need to compete in one of the toughest housing markets in the country.

 Question of the day: Which of these 9 reasons hit home for you? Comment below — I’d love to hear your thoughts.

 I’m Mac Rogers. I keep tabs on the Bay Area real estate market and neighborhood trends, so you can make confident decisions without second-guessing.

<description ><![CDATA[9 Brutal Truths About Why You Still Can’t Afford a Home (Bay Area & Beyond) 

Think you’ll never be able to buy a home in the Bay Area — or anywhere else?
In this video, I’m breaking down the real reasons buyers get stuck, miss out, or get priced out… and what you can actually do about it.

We’ll cover:
 The mindset traps that keep you from even starting
 Why tracking your money changes everything
 The hidden costs of homeownership most buyers ignore
 How unrealistic price expectations hold you back
 The truth about interest rates in today’s market
 Why there’s no such thing as a “forever home”
 How the wrong loan can cost you big
 Knowing who your competition really is (and how to beat them)
 Why waiting for the “perfect” market is a losing game

Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or thinking about making your next move, these 9 points will give you the reality check — and the strategies — you need to compete in one of the toughest housing markets in the country.

 Question of the day: Which of these 9 reasons hit home for you? Comment below — I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Are home prices finally coming down in California? In this video, I break down 5 cities where the housing market is cooling fast—including some of the biggest relocation hotspots for Bay Area buyers.

️ San Jose – From tech-fueled growth to correction territory
 Oakland – Prices dropping, crime rising, and buyers stepping back
 Sacramento – Still popular, but momentum is slowing
 San Francisco – Once untouchable, now negotiable

 Thinking of buying or selling in the Bay Area or beyond?
Call, text, or DM me. I keep tabs on the local real estate market and neighborhood trends, so you can make confident decisions without second-guessing.

 Drop your thoughts in the comments—have you seen signs of the shift in your area?

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Warren Buffett once said that buying real estate was even better than buying stocks. But in 2025? He’s changed his tune—now calling real estate “too complicated” and saying he sees more opportunity in the stock market. So what happened? And what does that mean for you if you\'re thinking about buying a home?

In this video, I break down Buffett’s past and present views, compare long-term real estate vs. stock market returns, and explain when buying a house still makes sense in today’s market—especially here in the Bay Area.

Whether you\'re planning to live in the home or invest in it, the rules of the game have changed. We’ll talk about:

How real estate stacks up against stocks over the long term

What Buffett means when he says real estate is “so much harder”

Key questions to ask yourself—whether you’re putting down roots or looking to invest

And why owning a home might still be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make

 I’m Mac Rogers. I keep tabs on the local Bay Area real estate market and neighborhood trends so you can make confident decisions without second-guessing. If you’re thinking about buying or selling—or just want help navigating the market—call, text, or DM me anytime.

Thinking of buying a brand-new home? It might look perfect—but there are some serious red flags you need to know first.

In this video, I break down the hidden costs, builder tricks, financing pitfalls, delays, and warranty surprises that can turn your dream home into a stressful money pit. I’ve helped buyers navigate new construction for over 20 years—and I’ve seen it all.

 Red Flag #1: That price on the sign? It’s not what you’ll actually pay.
 Red Flag #2: “Builder credits” that magically vanish in the fine print.
️ Red Flag #3: Massive delays—one client waited 9 MONTHS for a single part.
 Red Flag #4: Why bringing your own agent could save you $$$.
 Red Flag #5: Yes… a clogged toilet in a brand-new home. You’ll want to hear this.

 If you’re thinking about buying a new build in the Bay Area, call, text, or DM me. I’ll help you avoid the landmines and make a smart move.

 Drop your questions or horror stories in the comments—I read them all.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Is the “Big Beautiful Bill” a real fix for the housing market—or just political glitter in a collapsing system?
In this video, I’m breaking down the three headline changes in this bill that everyone’s talking about: the permanent PMI deduction, the $40,000 SALT cap, and the mortgage interest deduction staying locked at $750K.

️ Spoiler: It helps... if you\'re already rich.
We’ll cut through the hype and talk about what this actually means for Bay Area buyers, sellers, and investors in 2025—because it’s not all sunshine and down payment grants.

‍️ First-time buyers? Don’t hold your breath.
 Investors? You just keep winning.
 Homeowners in places like Danville, Castro Valley, and San Mateo? There might be something in it for you—if you qualify.

 We’re diving deep into the real impact—without the fluff—and how this plays out on the ground here in the East Bay.

 WATCH NEXT (Context You’ll Want):

<description ><![CDATA[Is the “Big Beautiful Bill” a real fix for the housing market—or just political glitter in a collapsing system?
In this video, I’m breaking down the three headline changes in this bill that everyone’s talking about: the permanent PMI deduction, the $40,000 SALT cap, and the mortgage interest deduction staying locked at $750K.

️ Spoiler: It helps... if you\'re already rich.
We’ll cut through the hype and talk about what this actually means for Bay Area buyers, sellers, and investors in 2025—because it’s not all sunshine and down payment grants.

‍️ First-time buyers? Don’t hold your breath.
 Investors? You just keep winning.
 Homeowners in places like Danville, Castro Valley, and San Mateo? There might be something in it for you—if you qualify.

 We’re diving deep into the real impact—without the fluff—and how this plays out on the ground here in the East Bay.

 SALT Cap Implications

 July 2025 East Bay Housing Market Update | Castro Valley, Hayward, Fremont & More

Is the East Bay housing market finally shifting? Inventory just hit a 5-year high, prices are adjusting, and both buyers and sellers are wondering: What happens next?

In this video, I break down what’s really going on in the Bay Area real estate market, with a special focus on Castro Valley, Hayward, Fremont, Dublin, Pleasanton, and more. You\'ll hear how increased home inventory is changing buyer behavior, why prices are down in some areas (and why that doesn’t always mean value loss), and what both buyers and sellers need to know right now.

Plus, I cover a major federal tax change—the One Big Beautiful Bill Act—and how the expanded SALT deduction cap could save some East Bay homeowners thousands in taxes over the next five years.

️ Inventory trends
️ Median price movement
️ Why some areas like Newark and Dublin show big price drops
️ Buyer & seller strategies for Summer 2025
️ What the $40,000 SALT deduction means for Bay Area homeowners

 Whether you\'re in Castro Valley, Hayward, San Leandro, Fremont, Dublin, San Ramon, or Pleasanton, this report gives you real, local insight.

 Skip the headlines and get the full story—backed by the latest data from the BayEast Association of REALTORS®.

7 Mistakes First Time Home Buyers Make  https://bit.ly/4hHoRnt

 Don’t Buy These Homes! They Could Drop In Value

Thinking of buying a home? Some properties might look like a deal—but end up costing you thousands. In this video, I break down 6 types of homes you should avoid if you want to protect your investment. I also share 8 types of properties that could offer strong long-term value—even in a shifting market.

 From city condos that are losing their appeal to vacation homes with hidden risks, understanding what’s happening before you buy is critical. Some real estate types are already seeing prices drop—especially in overbuilt or overhyped areas.

What you’ll learn:

The property types with falling demand

Why newer homes may outperform older suburban homes

How rising unemployment in certain areas could crush values

Why mobile homes and vacation rentals come with extra risk

8 home types that smart buyers are watching instead

 Whether you\'re a first-time buyer or looking to invest, this video will help you buy smarter—not just cheaper.

 Let me know in the comments: Are you looking for a home or investment property right now?

 Subscribe for weekly videos about buying smarter, avoiding costly mistakes, and staying ahead of the housing market curve.

 10 Reasons You’ll Regret Moving to Hayward, California (Watch Before You Buy!)

Thinking about moving to Hayward? Before you make one of the biggest financial decisions of your life, watch this video. I\'m breaking down 10 brutally honest reasons why some people regret buying a home in Hayward — from commute headaches and older homes to crime concerns, school district challenges, and even wildfire insurance surprises.

Hayward is one of the most centrally located cities in the Bay Area — but that doesn’t mean it’s right for everyone. Whether you\'re relocating from San Francisco, San Jose, or just moving within the East Bay, this is the real talk you won’t get from online listings.

 10 Reasons You’ll Regret Moving to Hayward, California (Watch Before You Buy!)

Thinking about moving to Hayward? Before you make one of the biggest financial decisions of your life, watch this video. I\'m breaking down 10 brutally honest reasons why some people regret buying a home in Hayward — from commute headaches and older homes to crime concerns, school district challenges, and even wildfire insurance surprises.

Hayward is one of the most centrally located cities in the Bay Area — but that doesn’t mean it’s right for everyone. Whether you\'re relocating from San Francisco, San Jose, or just moving within the East Bay, this is the real talk you won’t get from online listings.

 Chapters:
0:00 Intro
1: Reason #1 – Unpredictable Weather
2: Reason #2 – Traffic & Commute Woes
3: Reason #3 – Neighborhood Hit or Miss
4: Reason #4 – Older Homes, Hidden Costs
5: Reason #5 – School District Concerns
6: Reason #6 – Crime & Safety
7: Reason #7 – Homelessness & Blight
8: Reason #8 – Underdelivered Value
9: Reason #9 – Limited Dining/Shopping
10: Reason #10 – Earthquake & Fire Risk
11: Final Thoughts + How I Can Help

Is Hayward CA Safe in 2025? Walking the Streets to Find Out!
If you\'re from the Bay Area, you\'ve probably heard some not-so-great things about Hayward—crime, schools, reputation. But is that still true in 2025?

In this video, I\'m breaking down what the crime data actually says using two popular sites—NeighborhoodScout and CrimeGrade.org—and then I\'m hitting the streets to walk through some of the areas those maps call \"high-crime zones\" like North Hayward, Longwood–Winton Grove, and Tennyson–Alquire.

I\'ve lived in Hayward. I went to school here. I\'ve sold homes all across this city—and today I’m showing you what it\'s really like.

 Data from trusted sources
‍️ On-the-ground neighborhood tours
 Local insight from a real Bay Area real estate broker

Most Bay Area Homebuyers Blow It—Here’s How to Avoid Their Mistakes

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Welcome to Part 3 of “20 Truths Bay Area Home Buyers and Sellers Wish They Knew!” 

If you missed Part 1 or Part 2, don’t worry—links are below! But here’s where things get real. In this episode, we move past the surface-level stuff and dive into what really happens behind the scenes in a Bay Area real estate deal.

 In Part 3, we break down:

 Why open houses aren’t always what they seem—and who they really benefit
 The truth about part-time agents (and what questions to ask before hiring one)
 What “multiple offers” really means (spoiler: it’s not always a bidding war)
 The good, the bad, and the misleading side of home inspections
 And why the slow season might actually be the best time to buy in the Bay Area

If you\'re buying or selling a home in 2025, these next 10 truths could save you time, money, and a ton of stress. Especially in a market as competitive (and confusing) as the San Francisco Bay Area.

 Stick around to the end—because in Part 4, we’re getting into the final 5 truths: how to avoid major contract mistakes, prevent emotional decisions, and what to do if escrow starts falling apart.

 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell so you don\'t miss the final part of this must-watch series.

The Bay Area housing market is one of the most competitive—and confusing—markets in the country right now. In Part 2 of this eye-opening series, I’m diving into truths 6 through 10—the hidden issues and behind-the-scenes realities that most agents still won’t tell you.

From misleading listing photos to online home value estimates that throw sellers off track, I’m breaking down the next 5 secrets that could make or break your real estate experience in 2025.

 In this episode, you’ll learn:
️ Why relying on online estimates like Zillow and Redfin can cost you thousands
️ How over-edited listing photos lead to real disappointment—and even legal trouble
️ The truth about dual agency and why it can get messy
️ How overpricing to win a listing sets you up for failure
️ Why staging isn’t just about looks—it’s buyer psychology in action

 Whether you’re buying or selling in the Bay Area, these insights can save you time, money, and frustration in a market that’s changing faster than ever.

 And don’t miss Part 3—where I’ll reveal tips 11–15, including the real reason agents love open houses and what buyers often skip that comes back to haunt them.

It’s May 2025, and the Bay Area real estate market is changing fast. New laws, shifting buyer behavior, confusing commission rules—there’s a lot happening behind the scenes that most agents won’t talk about.

 Whether you\'re a buyer, seller, or just curious about what\'s really happening, this is the inside info that could save you time, money, and stress.

 In Part 1, I cover:
️ Why your first offer might be your best offer
️ How buyers suddenly have more negotiation power
️ The danger of big-box mortgage pre-approvals
️ Why the MLS doesn’t show everything
️ What’s really changed with real estate commissions
️ Why online home estimates (like Zestimates) are misleading
️ The risk of dual agency
️ How overpricing your home backfires
️ The truth behind over-edited listing photos

The Bay Area housing market is showing cracks — and if you\'re a seller in 2025, you need to know what\'s really going on.

In this no-BS market update, I break down the 10 major cracks shaking up the housing scene — from household debt and rising inventory to global economic uncertainty, tariffs, and buyer burnout.

If your home is sitting on the market (or you\'re thinking about selling soon), this video is a must-watch. We\'ll cover why some homes are still selling fast while others are collecting dust — and how to position yourself to win in this tougher, shifting market.

 Whether you\'re in San Ramon, Fremont, Danville, or Vallejo — it\'s time to get clear on what buyers are really thinking, what’s killing deals right now, and what you can actually do about it.

 Thinking of selling?
Let’s talk strategy: 

 Want a realistic price opinion on your Bay Area home?
Hit that subscribe button and DM me — I’ll give you the straight answer, not the Zillow fantasy.

 We have so many people contacting us who are moving here and we ABSOLUTELY love it! Honestly, if you are moving or relocating here or any surrounding areas, we can make that transition so much easier on you!!

The Bay Area housing market is showing cracks — and if you\'re a seller in 2025, you need to know what\'s really going on.

In this no-BS market update, I break down the 10 major cracks shaking up the housing scene — from household debt and rising inventory to global economic uncertainty, tariffs, and buyer burnout.

If your home is sitting on the market (or you\'re thinking about selling soon), this video is a must-watch. We\'ll cover why some homes are still selling fast while others are collecting dust — and how to position yourself to win in this tougher, shifting market.

 Whether you\'re in San Ramon, Fremont, Danville, or Vallejo — it\'s time to get clear on what buyers are really thinking, what’s killing deals right now, and what you can actually do about it.

 Thinking of selling?
Let’s talk strategy: 

 Want a realistic price opinion on your Bay Area home?
Hit that subscribe button and DM me — I’ll give you the straight answer, not the Zillow fantasy.

Are you moving to the Bay Area? Or do you already live here and are considering a move to another area? I have spent most of my life in the Bay Area (peninsula & east bay) and can be your guide for EVERYTHING the Bay Area has to offer. 

 We have so many people contacting us who are moving here and we ABSOLUTELY love it! Honestly, if you are moving or relocating here or any surrounding areas, we can make that transition so much easier on you!!

I am a licensed Real Estate Agent here in Castro Valley who would love to help assist you with all of your real estate needs.

STOP! Before You Buy a Home in the Bay Area in 2025 — WATCH THIS!

In this video, I break down:
 Where Bay Area home prices and mortgage rates are really headed in 2025.
 Why waiting could hurt you more than help.
 How to make the smartest decision (without losing sleep).

 PLUS — I’ve got a FREE Bay Area First-Time Homebuyer Guide just for you, packed with pro tips on:
 How to get pre-approved the right way
 Finding the best home for your budget
 Negotiating like a ninja (even in this market)

7 Types of Homes You Should NEVER Buy in the Bay Area! 

When buying a home, we all want to make a smart investment. But what if I told you that some homes in the Bay Area are financial disasters waiting to happen?  They might seem like a great deal upfront but can quickly turn into a nightmare of unexpected costs, legal headaches, and regret.

 From HOAs gone wild to unpermitted money pits, I’m breaking down the types of homes you NEED to avoid (or at least do serious homework on) before buying in the Bay Area.

 HOA Horror Stories (Yes, even single-family homes!)
 Homes Trapped in a Lawsuit 
 The Unpermitted Nightmare 
 The Tenant Trap  (Good luck getting them to leave!)
 Disaster Zone Properties 
 The Endless Money Pit 
 The “Bad Location” Home

Bay Area Housing Market in Trouble? Wall Street Investors CASHING OUT
 Are Wall Street investors quietly dumping homes in the Bay Area? Across the country, institutional investors are selling properties at steep discounts—some up to 20% below market value. But is the same thing happening here? And if so, what does it mean for home prices in the Bay Area?

 In this video, we dive deep into:
 The massive sell-off happening across Atlanta, Florida, Texas, and beyond.
 Why corporate landlords like Invitation Homes & Tricon are selling properties at a loss.
 How Wall Street firms are valuing their home portfolios lower than their stock prices—a major red flag.

Are you dreaming of buying a home in the Bay Area but worried about affordability?  In this video, we\'ll help you determine how much of your income should go towards your mortgage. Plus, stick around for a per-county breakdown of the income needed to purchase a median-priced home in the Bay Area! 

 Key Points Covered:

Simple Guidelines: Borrowing 2-3 times your household income.
The 28/36 Rule: Front-end and back-end ratios.
The 35/45 Rule: Balancing pre-tax and post-tax incomes.
The 25% Rule: Conservative approach to mortgage payments.
 We\'ll also discuss other critical factors for mortgage approval, including debt-to-income ratio (DTI), credit score, and down payment. Understanding these guidelines will better equip you to make a sound financial decision when buying your home. 

 Important Tips:

Always consider your overall expenses.
Review your entire budget before deciding on a mortgage.
Explore flexible loan options, including government-insured loans.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[I saw a couple of articles this week and the first thing that came to my mind was this. This is one of the reasons why people that have means, meaning home buyers that are qualified can\'t get a house. And this is also the reason why wanna be home buyers, those that are not qualified and not ready, you know the ones that have no business shopping for homes go out there and think they can buy a house. This is true here in the bay area as well as across other markets. With everything that you read or watch online, you\'ll never be able to make the right decisions and buy a house. The end result is just frustration for everyone.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Welcome to Castro Valley, California - a charming town nestled in the heart of the East Bay region. One might even say, it\'s a hidden gem.

As you explore this beautiful community, you\'ll discover a variety of features that make it a unique and attractive place to live or visit. In this video, I will take you on a driving tour of 2 neighborhoods here in Castro Valley.

The \"stuff\" that makes Castro Valley unique and appealing:
Nature: Surrounded by stunning natural beauty, Castro Valley offers ample opportunities for outdoor recreation. From hiking trails at Lake Chabot Regional Park to scenic drives through rural backroads.

Community: Castro Valley is known for its tight-knit community, where locals come together to support one another through events and activities. The town hosts an annual Fall Festival, Farmer\'s Market, and a variety of other community gatherings.

Culture: Home to the Castro Valley Center for the Arts, this town boasts a vibrant arts and culture scene. Visitors can enjoy live theater productions, musical performances, and art exhibits.

Education: Castro Valley is home to top-rated schools, providing excellent education opportunities for children of all ages.

Diversity: The town is home to a diverse population, making it a welcoming and inclusive place for people from all walks of life.

Shopping and Dining: Castro Valley offers a variety of shopping and dining options, from local boutiques and cafes to well-known chain stores and restaurants. This wasn\'t the case 10 or 15 years ago.

Overall, Castro Valley is a wonderful place to call home or visit. With its natural beauty, strong community, vibrant culture, excellent education, diversity, and shopping and dining options, this town has something for everyone.

Let me help you find the home of your dreams.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[REACH OUT TO ME IF YOU WANT TO SEE THESE HOMES
Today\'s video is a tour of the new communities or neighborhood at SoMi in Hayward. The community of Haypark and Hayview. Hayview is still just dirt so nothing to see there yet.

https://www.builtforamerica.com/haypark - Haypark Website
https://www.builtforamerica.com/fusion - Fusion COMING SOON. Also in Hayward

Floor plans ranges from 1125 square feet to 1708 square feet. Minimum of 2 bedroom and 2 baths up to 3 bedrooms + a den and 2 bath. All units have one parking space assigned.

Haypark is a collection of 123 three story townhomes spread out into 23 buildings. Floor plans ranges from 1482 to 1984 square feet. One nice feature of this complex is that every unit gets a 2 car garage. Plan one gets a tandem garage and plans 2 and 5 gets side by side garages.

Let\'s talk about community amenities and my comments.

They are going to have 3 roof top decks.
A meeting room.
Parks.
Dog park.
Walking trails.
Access to approximately 1.2 acres of outdoor rec space.
Approximately 8000 square feet of commercial space.

HOA dues are around $561 for the condos and $368 for the townhouses. It covers your usual common area maintenance and HOA reserves.

Property taxes are around 1.20%. No mello roos. Which is a good thing. No added extra expense.

For the school district or assigned schools, they are Treeview Elementary, Cesar Chavez Middle School & Tennyson High. 

There is a private school nearby. St Clement and Morrow. For more information about these schools, visit the Hayward Unified School district website and other websites such is greatschools.org.

For financing, you need to pre-qualify with their lender. The pre-qual with their preferred lender is a requirement. However, you can chose to go with your own lender. And if you have questions about this in terms of which one is better comment below or contact me so I can help you out.

Thats the tour for plans 1 & 2. Plan 5 is about 1984 with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths with 2 car garage. It\'s also three-stories. Plan 5 starts out at $1,000,000.

For plan one, prices are in the low $800k and plan 2 in the $900 range.

What do I think about the community.
Looking at the map they provided, I like the layout. It doesn\'t feel like you are going to be confined. Love the fact that they have several outdoor spaces.

If I was commuting for work via BART, that\'s also a plus. The Tennyson station is within walking distance. Probably a 10 minute walk.

The units themselves are good and is typical of what you see in most new developments like these. I do like some of the included features with each unit. Having the appliances included is a huge plus! The low maintenance vinyl flooring is also nice. Having a balcony was also nice. 2 car garages are definitely a huge plus.

Which brings to what I can see happening in the near future. And that is parking. Once the condos are built I can see parking will be a premium. So just be mindful of that.

Over all this is definitely great for Hayward. More inventory of housing is always needed. Price wise, I think its also good. I believe that in 10 years we will be looking back at this and saying man, remember when Mission Blvd was just full of car dealerships? It\'s definitely changing the whole landscape for that part of Hayward.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[This is the March 2023 real estate market report for the Bay Area.

Along with the Bay Area Real Estate market report, I will share with you the latest Pending Home Sales numbers from the National Association of Realtors.

If there\'s one common theme here or maybe I should say your take away from this bay area housing market update is that most of the counties increased in the number of transactions month-to-month but still down considerably when compared to last year. 

Also days on the market is going down slightly but still longer when compared to last year.

And finally the ever important median sales price. Median sales price month-to-month is also climbing but still down year-to-year and in a couple of counties down double digits. And I\'ll explain at the end of the video why or what is the significance of these changes.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[This is a driving tour of a couple of neighborhoods in south Hayward. The Garin-Mission neighborhood and Fairway Park neighborhood. I also stopped by Garin Regional park and walked around there.

Here\'s a short description of these neighborhoods courtesy of Chatbot AI.
Garin-Mission Neighborhood:

The Garin-Mission neighborhood is located in the southern part of Hayward and is known for its beautiful hills and open spaces. The neighborhood is named after the historic Garin and Mission Hills parks, which offer hiking and picnic opportunities. The area is also home to several schools, including Garin Elementary School and Hayward Unified School District.

I think the above description was spot on.

Fairway Park Neighborhood:
The Fairway Park neighborhood is located in the southeastern part of Hayward, adjacent to the city of Castro Valley. It is primarily a residential area with a mix of single-family homes and apartments. The neighborhood is known for its proximity to the Hayward Regional Shoreline, which offers hiking and birdwatching opportunities. The area is also home to several schools, including Fairview Elementary School and St. Bede Catholic School.

I think this description is off base. I believe the AI is confusing Fairway and Fairview district. Fairway Park is NOT adjacent to Castro Valley.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[It seems like the Bay Area real estate market is still going down. Atleast that\'s what the January numbers are showing. But have we turned the corner? Are we going to see a Bay Area real estate housing market crash? Heck, is the bay area real estate market even going to crash? With mortgage rates stabilizing and with still the lack of housing inventory, are home buyers coming back? Housing remains one of the biggest concerns for people living in the bay area.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[The most recent pending home sales number just came out. And along with other market data out, it begs the questions. Did the housing market really just flipped?

There was supposed to be some big crash that people are waiting for. It\'s turning out to be a big dud. Here\'s the latest data from the National Association of Realtors with regards to pending home sales for the month of December. And for the first time since May 2022, pending home sales are up! This is after 6 consecutive months of declining pending homes sales.

Let me just share with you 3 things that I know are facts that can kind of prove to you that answers this question of \"Did The Housing Market Really Just Flipped\" and also answer the question \"Should you wait for the housing market to crash even further before buying a house?\"

After watching the video, let me know what you think in the comment section.

Bottomline is that right now the data seems to suggest that we are at the bottom but we need to keep an eye out on what the FEDs are doing, inflation, jobs etc. Because all these can change which means we are in for one hell of a roller coaster ride.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Today we have the finals numbers for 2022. The December Existing Home Sales Report.

Here\'s a quote from Lawrence Yun that pretty much sums up this #housingmarket 
“December was another difficult month for buyers( #homebuyers )who continue to face limited inventory and high mortgage rates. However, expect sales to pick up again soon since mortgage rates have markedly declined after peaking late last year.”

Inventory at the end of December was 970,000 units, this is only existing home sales and does not include new construction. This is down by 13.4% from November but up 10.2% from one year ago (880,000).

Homes are taking longer to sell, unsold inventory is up 2.9-month supply at the current sales pace, down from 3.3 months in November but up from 1.7 months in December 2021.

The median existing-home price for December was $366,900, an increase of 2.3% from December 2021 ($358,800). This marks 130 consecutive months of year-over-year increases, the longest-running streak on record. 

Days on the market for December is at 26 days.Up from 24 days in November and 19 days in December 2021. 

#mortgagerates have been improving. According to Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.15% as of January 19. That’s down from 6.33% last week, but up from 3.56% one year ago.

03:48 Median Existing Home Price For December
05:00 Days On Market
07:18 Sales Breakdown Detached vs Attached Homes
07:57 Regional Breakdown of Existing Home Sales

<pubDate >Sat, 14 Jan 2023 15:00:20 +0000</pubDate>
<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[I\'m going to give you an overview of Castro Valley to give you an idea or a foundation if you will of what it is like to live here.
 
#castrovalley is located in #alamedacounty . It is located in the #eastbay region of the #sanfranciscobayarea and is considered a suburb of #oakland According to the 2020 census, the population of Castro Valley was 66,441 .

The town is home to a number of nature preserves areas, including the #Anthonychabot which features over 5,000 acres of recreational space.

It\'s one of my favorite places to go #mountainbiking #hiking #fishing or just hanging out in the marina.

The town is also home to a number of small lakes, including #lakechabot and #CullCanyon Reservoir. Cull Canyon Reservoir is a super popular place during the hot summer months.

In the summer, temperatures in Castro Valley can reach into the 80s and 90s, with low humidity and plenty of sunshine. In the winter, temperatures are cooler, with highs in the 50s and 60s and occasional rain.

Castro Valley is home to a number of community events and festivals, including the #castrovalleyfallfestival the #CastroValleyCarShow and the #CastroValleylightshow.

The Castro Valley Unified School District #CVUSD serves the educational needs of students in Castro Valley, California. The district serves students in kindergarten through 12th grade, and it operates a number of elementary, middle, and high schools in the area.

Overall, the Castro Valley Unified School District is highly regarded in the community and is known for its dedication to providing students with a well-rounded and high-quality education.

The food scene in Castro Valley is getting to be diverse, with a range of restaurants and cuisines to choose from but to me still lacking in terms of selection. There are many popular chain restaurants in the area, as well as locally-owned independent restaurants that offer unique dining experiences.

The real estate market in Castro Valley, California is a dynamic and diverse market, with a range of homes available for purchase. Castro Valley is known for its desirable location in the San Francisco Bay Area, which has contributed to strong demand for housing in the area.

The #costofliving in Castro Valley, California is generally higher than the national average, due in part to no surprise here, the high cost of housing in the San Francisco Bay Area. According to recent data, the cost of living in Castro Valley is around 50% higher than the national average.

Housing is one of the biggest expenses for residents of Castro Valley, with the median home value in the area being easily over $1,000,000. Rent prices are also relatively high, with the median rent for a one-bedroom apartment being around $2,000 and up per month.

Other expenses, such as groceries, healthcare, and utilities, are also generally higher in Castro Valley compared to the national average. However, the cost of living can vary depending on an individual\'s lifestyle and personal circumstances.

Overall, the cost of living in Castro Valley is considered to be high, but the area is known for its high quality of life and strong job market, which can make it a desirable place to live for many people. When I say job market, I\'m referring to it\'s proximity of major cities like San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose.

<description ><![CDATA[I\'m going to give you an overview of Castro Valley to give you an idea or a foundation if you will of what it is like to live here.
 
#castrovalley is located in #alamedacounty . It is located in the #eastbay region of the #sanfranciscobayarea and is considered a suburb of #oakland According to the 2020 census, the population of Castro Valley was 66,441 .

The town is home to a number of nature preserves areas, including the #Anthonychabot which features over 5,000 acres of recreational space.

It\'s one of my favorite places to go #mountainbiking #hiking #fishing or just hanging out in the marina.

The town is also home to a number of small lakes, including #lakechabot and #CullCanyon Reservoir. Cull Canyon Reservoir is a super popular place during the hot summer months.

In the summer, temperatures in Castro Valley can reach into the 80s and 90s, with low humidity and plenty of sunshine. In the winter, temperatures are cooler, with highs in the 50s and 60s and occasional rain.

Castro Valley is home to a number of community events and festivals, including the #castrovalleyfallfestival the #CastroValleyCarShow and the #CastroValleylightshow.

The Castro Valley Unified School District #CVUSD serves the educational needs of students in Castro Valley, California. The district serves students in kindergarten through 12th grade, and it operates a number of elementary, middle, and high schools in the area.

Overall, the Castro Valley Unified School District is highly regarded in the community and is known for its dedication to providing students with a well-rounded and high-quality education.

The food scene in Castro Valley is getting to be diverse, with a range of restaurants and cuisines to choose from but to me still lacking in terms of selection. There are many popular chain restaurants in the area, as well as locally-owned independent restaurants that offer unique dining experiences.

The real estate market in Castro Valley, California is a dynamic and diverse market, with a range of homes available for purchase. Castro Valley is known for its desirable location in the San Francisco Bay Area, which has contributed to strong demand for housing in the area.

The #costofliving in Castro Valley, California is generally higher than the national average, due in part to no surprise here, the high cost of housing in the San Francisco Bay Area. According to recent data, the cost of living in Castro Valley is around 50% higher than the national average.

Housing is one of the biggest expenses for residents of Castro Valley, with the median home value in the area being easily over $1,000,000. Rent prices are also relatively high, with the median rent for a one-bedroom apartment being around $2,000 and up per month.

Other expenses, such as groceries, healthcare, and utilities, are also generally higher in Castro Valley compared to the national average. However, the cost of living can vary depending on an individual\'s lifestyle and personal circumstances.

Overall, the cost of living in Castro Valley is considered to be high, but the area is known for its high quality of life and strong job market, which can make it a desirable place to live for many people. When I say job market, I\'m referring to it\'s proximity of major cities like San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Fortune talked to 27 industry experts and here\'s their take on it. Four(4) out of the 27 were somewhat bullish but 23 were down right negative. Here\'s a link to their article:

https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/something-big-happening-u-housing-160204413.html

Hello everyone, welcome to our latest video blog. Today we\'re going to be discussing the current state of the real estate market and the potential for a crash according to 23 experts.

The real estate market has been experiencing record-high prices in recent years, thanks to a strong economy and low interest rates. However, many experts are now warning of a potential market crash, as warning signs such as overbuilding(in certain metro areas), rising interest rates, and a decrease in consumer confidence begin to appear.

One concern is the overbuilding of new properties, particularly in states like #texas #nevada #florida #idaho. With more homes on the market than there are buyers to purchase them, prices could drop as builders and sellers are forced to compete for a shrinking pool of buyers.

Additionally, rising interest rates is also having a negative impact on the market, as they make borrowing for a home more expensive and can cause buyers to delay their purchases.

Another factor that could contribute to a crash is a decrease in consumer confidence. If people believe that the market is in a state of decline, they may be less likely to make large purchases such as #buyingahome .

It\'s worth noting that predicting market crashes can be difficult. However, the potential of a #crash #housingmarketcrash should not be overlooked. It\'s a good idea to take a cautionary stance and do your research to assess potential risks.

So what should you do if you\'re thinking of #buying or #selling a #home in this market? First and foremost, it\'s important to stay informed and keep an eye on the latest economic data. Make sure you work with a #realestateagent (#brokermac) that is knowledgeable and experienced. Also, keep in mind that while the market can fluctuate, real estate has historically proven to be a stable long-term investment. And remember, buying or selling a home is a big decision, it\'s important to consider all the facts and consult with experts before making any decisions.

This is \"something\" is already happening now. The question is which direction the US housing market will go. The key take away is that there are more experts that have a grim outlook for the housing market than the experts that have a positive outlook. And even the ones that have a positive outlook, their not projecting anything past an increase of 5%. Which to be fair is still a very healthy appreciation.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[You may have seen or heard in the news lately that the number of foreclosures are up again. That is true but we need context around it. Foreclosures are still way below the levels where we where during the #housingbubble of 2008.

However, it doesn\'t mean that there\'s no danger of another foreclosure wave. If we get into a prolonged recession and home owners starts losing their jobs, this could quickly snowball into a full blown #foreclosure crisis.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[In this video we will look at the 20 Indicators according to John Burns & Associate that are raising red flags and could be signaling that we are headed for a housing market bubble. This is the latest report. Hopefully there\'s enough data to answer the question. Did the housing market become a bubble?

I\'ll also share with you the latest existing home sales report from the National Association of Realtors. Spoiler alert; sales are down again but prices are still up.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Time for the Eastbay October Housing Market Report. The slowdown and the buildup continues. The number of sales continue to decline while the number of inventory continues to climb. On the home price front, it\'s a bit mixed. Prices are weakening but still pretty good.

If you are thinking of buying a home, these are the 2 questions you need to ask yourself:
1. Where Do I Think Home Prices Are Heading?
2. Where Do I Think Interest Rates Are Heading?

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Questions persist on why buying a house in the Eastbay or just buying a house in general still makes sense. Here are three (3) tips that can help you on your home search.
1. Expand your home search & criteria.
Expanding your locations simply means looking at your second or third choice are just all together exploring other areas you might not have even considered before. This doesn\'t mean a different city all together. It could simply mean perhaps a different neighborhood.

Criteria wise, it means exploring your wants and needs. Is a home office really essential(your probably getting called back to the office anyway)? A half bath or a 3rd bath? Is that really necessary? Again just be open to other possibilities.

2. Explore alternative forms of financing. Best advice I can give you is talk to your real estate professional (me) and see which lenders are offering different programs that might fit your need. All these \"exploratory\" talks are FREE and NO obligation. Take advantage.

3. Kind of an extension of number 2. This is especially helpful if you are strap for cash. Explore grants, gifts funds and down payment assistance. There are a lot of programs out there that you might qualify for. One thing that I would like you to be aware of is that while these programs/grants are usually free, meaning you don\'t have to pay it back, it comes with certain restrictions. Whether that is income or restrictions on the property.

Look, there are a lot of uncertainty in the market today but one thing I know is that there\'s not a lot of competition out there and that could mean opportunities.

To say that the market is in turmoil would be an understatement. Lots of misconceptions and misinformation out there. One thing is for sure, there is fear or maybe I should say fear is what is driving the market. More like slowing it down.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[***Sorry about the echoey sound. Forgot my mic.

This is the latest Bay Area Housing Market Update for September 2022. Big, big decline in the number of transactions in all the nine(9) bay area counties.

Days on the market is starting to climb but for all intents and purposes, homes are still selling fast. Prices right now is a bit mixed. Still strong but nowhere near close where we were in terms appreciation last year.

Where is this whole thing headed? Most likely more slow down as buyers keep getting cold feet and also getting priced out because of higher mortgage rates. Speaking of higher mortgage rates, the FEDs meet again this month and chances are mortgages rates goes higher.

A lot of people keep asking, will there be a housing market crash? In this video I look at what Robert Shiller has to say about the current market and figure out if it applies to what is going on right now.

Basically the number of transactions is down. Month-to-month price change is down but year-to-year prices are still up. Inventory is starting to climb. Number of days also starting to climb. I believe moving forward this will continue.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[This is your Bay Area Housing Market Summary update for the month ending July 2022. As expected, the trend continues. Less transactions. Longer days on the market and prices flattening.

We have to put the longer days on the market into context. These houses are still selling fast. Just not as fast as before. In terms of the number of transaction going down, I believe one contributing factor besides mortgage rates is that there are a lot of people that is on vacation. I\'m not saying that if people were not on vacation that the numbers won\'t be down. I\'m just saying that it might not be this severe.

As for prices, we won\'t be seeing any crash or atleast that is the expectation. So don\'t wait for something like that to happen. The biggest key right now is very low competition. So if you are one of those buyers that could not compete before whether you had low down payment or having loans like FHA or CalFHA loan, now is the time to POUNCE!!! If mortgage rates go back to low 5% and below and stays there, we will see buyers come back again. 

Speaking of low down payment or other types of financing, did you know that there are a number of programs out there that can help you with that? Down payment assistance or down payment grants.

Call me if you need help.

All the numbers are pointing to a slow down or further slow down in the housing market. Whether it\'s the sales volume going down or mortgage applications or new home builders. All their reporting numbers are not looking good.

And right now the latest pending home sales numbers, which gives us an insight on what futures sales will look like is down 20% year-to-year.

The question is not whether home prices will go down but rather how much.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Things are getting bleaker out there for the real estate market. The most recent report from the National Association of Realtors just came out and it seems like home buyers are throwing in the towel.

The most recent inflation numbers were just reported and it\'s at its highest in 40 years. Most likely the FEDs will be raising rates this week. Some say as high as one (1) full percentage point. If that is indeed the case I dread to see next weeks mortgage interest rates. We may have a full blown wreckage in the housing market next week.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[With everything that is going on with the economy, the real estate or housing market has been resilient. But it can only take too much beating. Eventually it will buckle. At this point, the one thing that will or could crash this housing market is the ever increasing mortgage rates.

We are seeing the results already. Slow down in almost every market. If the FEDs continue their fight with inflation, this means that they will continue to raise the FED funds rate which in turn affects mortgage rates.

Right now we are just at the beginning stages of these rates hikes. The next several months could mean more slow down and if the mortgage rates continue their climb, the likelihood of a crash is inevitable. Whether we have demand and still a shortage of housing inventory, it doesn\'t matter if no one can afford it.

Good work Chairman Powell!!!

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[The latest. July 2022 Bay Area Housing Market Report. There are a lot of things changing in the real estate landscape. The one thing that hasn\'t changed? Prices are still going up. But how long can this continue to go up as buyer demand is slowing down and inventory is starting to climb.

The overall similarity for all nine bay area counties are these. On a month-to-month basis the number of sales transaction is down except for Napa county. Year-to-year all bay area counties are down over 20%.

Days on the market or how fast properties are selling is still good. Homes are still selling relatively fast. Napa, Sonoma & Solano counties are the only ones that are selling 3 weeks or more. The rest of the counties, properties are selling within 2 weeks.

Home prices on a month-to-month basis is a bit mixed. Only Marin, San Francisco and Solano counties are up month-to-month. The rest of the counties are down. The biggest decline is in Santa Clara county.

Year-to-year price change is a bit of a different story. Prices are up everywhere except San Mateo county.

Data from the Bayeast Association of Realtors as of June 30, 2022.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[This is the Bay Area Housing Market Summary for June 2022. Data is the is from the Bayeast Association of Realtors as of May 31st, 2022.

The number transactions is definitely slowing down all over the bay area. However, price is still resilient. Mainly because there is still not enough inventory out there.

So if you hear that the real estate market is slowing down, you have to be careful and not fall into the \"trap\" of thinking there are bargains to be had. On the contrary, most forecasters are still forecasting that prices will continue to go up in the next 3 to 5 years.

So before you hit the pause button on that home search, think twice. Because next year, it might just get more expensive again.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Here\'s the latest housing update from the California Association of Realtors. This is the April Home Sales and Price Report released May 17, 2022.

It\'s starting to look like we are in the middle of a shifting market. While by no means am I saying that we are going to see a full blown buyers market or a market crash, it is inevitable that we eventually see a slow down of some sorts.

Given the fact that we\'ve had just a tremendous run in home price appreciation that up to now is still not showing signs of weakness, people are starting to really feel the weight or burden of these huge price increases plus the absolute doubling of mortgage rates.

Prices still going up. Number of transactions are going down and inventory is starting to climb in the outlying areas could be the start of this slowdown. Next month? Next year? I think by the end of the year we start seeing the slowdown.

<description ><![CDATA[Here\'s the latest housing update from the California Association of Realtors. This is the April Home Sales and Price Report released May 17, 2022.

It\'s starting to look like we are in the middle of a shifting market. While by no means am I saying that we are going to see a full blown buyers market or a market crash, it is inevitable that we eventually see a slow down of some sorts.

Given the fact that we\'ve had just a tremendous run in home price appreciation that up to now is still not showing signs of weakness, people are starting to really feel the weight or burden of these huge price increases plus the absolute doubling of mortgage rates.

Prices still going up. Number of transactions are going down and inventory is starting to climb in the outlying areas could be the start of this slowdown. Next month? Next year? I think by the end of the year we start seeing the slowdown.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[The Dallas FEDs are signaling a housing bubble. They are using words that haven\'t been used since Alan Greenspan was the FED chairman. Exuberance. They cited several reasons for concerns.
Rapidly increasing home prices.
Home prices outpacing rent.
Income falling behind home prices.

Will all these talk of a housing bubble become a self fulfilling prophesy? It certainly is starting to feel that way.

\"U.S. house prices are again becoming unhinged from fundamentals.\" - Dallas FEDs

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[April Fools Housing Market Update for the month ending March 2022. This is for Castro Valley, Dublin, Hayward and San Leandro. FYI these numbers are real and from the Bayeast multiple listing service as of March 31st.

What happened this past March compared to March 2021? Prices are all up across the board. NOT an April Fools joke. Days on the market went down. The biggest news is that inventory is up which is a good thing for buyers.

How will it affect prices this April? We will find next month.

Mortgage rates increasing. Home prices continue to increase. Inflation going nuts. War in Ukraine. All these things are scary and further compounds an already tough decision right now. I\'d argue that if you are ready, willing and able to buy a house right now, non of these matters in the long run.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[There are new housing forecast out there and from whatever angle you look at it, it\'s not good.

CoreLogic said that there are certain markets that can decline as much as 70%. Homes are over priced (DUH). The war. Inflation. Mortgage rates. Let\'s not forget, apparently there\'s still that virus that started somewhere that nobody wants to mention where because one might be branded a racist.

Are real estate prices finally going to come down? When? Why?

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[We all know what happened to the housing market in 2021. Home prices skyrocketed instead of retreating. Most experts said at the end of 2020 and beginning of 2021 that we will see home prices level off. We ended the year up 19%.

Now there\'s a lot of grumbling about how the market is too hot, this is not sustainable, we are in a bubble, blah, blah, blah, blah. This is has been what most people are saying or complaining if you will for the last 4 or 5 years.

I think we need to listen to what the experts in the industry are saying instead of just going off on our gut feeling. After all these are the people that have all the data and are actually basing their predictions on actual data.

Pretty much all experts agree that we are in for another year of growth. That\'s right, another year of growth not prices going down. But there is no agreement how much growth we can look forward to.

Zillow just upped their estimate to 16.4%. Goldman Sachs upped their forecast even way back in October of 2021. They also said around 16%. Fannie May also upped their forecast to 11.2%.

These are 3 that are on the high side of the estimate. Some of the more modest estimates that I have seen are 5.7% from the National Association of Realtors, which conducts their own survey of 20 experts in the field. 2.9% from realtor.com and 7% from Redfin.

I think the important thing to note here right now is not the discrepancy or the disparity between the different estimates but rather the similarity in terms of their expectations. And that is no one expects it to go down. In fact if you see the longer forecast, most don\'t even predict any significant change until 2024 or 2025.

What this all means is that this 2022 housing market could be more competitive than previous years. I know, hard to believe that right?

It\'s not all bad news if you will. There maybe signs of relief. Inventory numbers are tracking a little bit higher that 2021 but still below 2020.

So, the bottomline is this. There is no housing prediction out there that says home prices are going down. Even with mortgage rates going up, inventory looking a little better and inflation on the rise.

With mortgage rates rising, it seemed liked a lot of home buyers were out there making sure that they are able to get a home before rates climbed any further. And it will continue to go higher. If you ask me last year where I thoughts rates would be in 2022, I would have told you 3.5% to 3.75%. Well, it\'s looking like we will be closer to 5% (maybe even over!!!) by yearend.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Is this the slow down or worse the crash that a lot of people are afraid of? The latest pending home sales report is out and for 3 consecutive months, it\'s gone down.

With mortgage rates increasing, inflation going crazy and Russia invading Ukraine, what will be the outlook for housing going forward?

I still believe, especially here in the bay area that we can withstand rate hikes up to 5.5% but the overall housing market? I\'m not so sure.

Thirty-six percent of home buyers were able to purchase the $610,350 median-priced condo or townhome. A minimum annual income of $113,200 was required to make a monthly payment of $2,830.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[The ongoing question have been where are mortgage rates headed Mortgage rates have increased significantly since the beginning of the year. Each Thursday, Freddie Mac releases its Primary Mortgage Market Survey. According to the latest survey, the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage has risen from 3.22% at the start of the year to 3.55% as of last week. This is important to note because any increase in mortgage rates changes what a purchaser can afford. 

While it’s always difficult to know exactly where mortgage rates will go, a great indicator of where they may be heading is by looking at the 50-year history of the 10-year treasury yield, and then following its path. 

This correlation has continued into the new year. The treasury yield has started to climb, and that’s driven rates up. As of last Thursday, the treasury yield was 1.81%. That’s 1.74% below the mortgage rate reported that same day (3.55%) and is very close to the average spread we see between the two numbers (average spread is 1.7).

While the correlation between the 30-year fixed mortgage rate and the 10-year treasury yield is clear for the past 50 years, it shouldn’t be used as an exact indicator. They’re both hard to forecast, especially in this unprecedented economic time driven by a global pandemic.

Yet understanding the relationship can help you get an idea of where rates may be going. It appears, based on the information we have now, that mortgage rates will continue to increase over the next few years. If that’s the case, your best bet may be to purchase a home sooner rather than later, if you’re able.

Bottom Line
Forecasting mortgage rates is very difficult. As Mark Fleming, Chief Economist at First American, once said:

“You know, the fallacy of economic forecasting is don’t ever try and forecast interest rates and or, more specifically, if you’re a real estate economist mortgage rates, because you will always invariably be wrong.”

However, if you’re either a first-time homebuyer or a current homeowner thinking of moving into a home that better fits your changing needs, understanding what’s happening with the 10-year treasury yield and mortgage rates can help you make an informed decision on the timing of your purchase.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[I often get this question and if you clicked on this video, you probably are asking this yourself. To be fair, you are the only one that can really answer this question.

If you are looking for reasons if you should buy or not buy a home then let me help you with that. Let\'s talk about the biggest concern out there right now. Inflation. Put simply, homeownership is a hedge against inflation.

As inflation goes up, most investors put their money in tangible assets that not only tend to hold their value but also increase in price as well. And guess what, real estate is one of those tangible assets that has become safe haven when inflation reigns.

Let\'s talk about this in more practical terms. Right now you have to agree that everything is getting more and more expensive. If you are renting, listen to this next part. Rent increases have been greater than the rate of inflation in most years.

If you buy a home with a fixed rate mortgage you now have control on one of the biggest expenses we have in life. Housing. Sure other things related to housing may increase like taxes but for the foreseeable future, your house payments will remain the same. Not so when you are renting.

Bottom Line
While you are truly the only one that can decide if you want to buy a home or continue renting. I\'ve given you a couple of reasons to help out with your decision making.

If you’re weighing your options between renting and buying, it’s important to look at the full picture. While buying a home can feel like a daunting process, having a trusted advisor on your side is key. If you want to explore your options and learn more about the benefits of homeownership today, I can help. Whether here in the bay area or any where else around the country.

<pubDate >Fri, 28 Jan 2022 17:03:41 +0000</pubDate>
<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[We\'ve had 2 consecutive months of decline in the pending sales numbers. The pending sales numbers are important because they give us a good indication of what will happen in the near future. Pending sales usually translates to closed sales after 30 to 45 days. It could be up to 60 days in some areas.

NAR tracks four major U.S. regions and all four regions posted both month-over-month and year-over-year drops in contract activity. Bit of a caution here. Remember we are still comparing these numbers to 2020 which was not a normal year for real estate and also these 2 months of decline could also be seasonal. So at this point I think we need to see the next set of data or pending sales for January, February and March as we head into the spring selling season. If those numbers keeps going down then we could say that yes we are definitely looking at a slow down.

Looking at 2021 overall, even with the slowdown in the last couple of months, it was still a great period for housing in terms of the number of sales and price appreciation. We are still hitting record highs.

If you are wondering what rates would look like at the end of the year, the forecast for the 30-year fixed mortgage rate could be as high as 3.9% by the fourth quarter. Last year most experts in the industry were just forecasting rates to be between 3.5 and 3.75%. In terms of existing-home sales, their forecasted to dip by 2.8% to 5.95 million units.

So we are starting to see a little bit of equilibrium, I mean we are not there but this added inventory from new construction and added inventory from sellers plus higher mortgage rates will help slow down this over heated market.

Now for my bay area people, in the immediate bay area, I\'m talking about Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, parts of Alameda & Contra Costa counties this really doesn\'t mean anything to us. Expect the same thing. And by that I mean multiple offers. Lack of inventory and in most likely still waiving contingencies up front to be competitive.

However for the general market what we\'ve seen according to NAR is that fewer buyers are waiving contingencies. Nationally home buyers are getting less aggressive to waive appraisals, home inspections and other contingencies. This is according to a recent survey that was done.

December 2021 REALTORS® Confidence Index Survey, a survey of REALTOR® transactions conducted by the National Association of REALTORS®.

The survey said that Nineteen percent of buyers waived the inspection contingency in December, down from a peak of 27% in July 2021. Further more, only twenty-one percent of buyers waived the appraisal contract contingency, down from 29% in June 2021. Other contingencies that they noted, buyers also were less willing to waive financial contingency (10%), a home sale contingency (8%), or a title contingency (1%). And the reason for this is that while buyers are still willing to pay top dollar for homes, they are making sure they are getting their money’s worth.

The key take aways are

Contract signings were 3.8% lower in December from the prior month.

Contract signings were down across all regions compared to the prior month and one year ago. 

Existing-home sales are expected to decline by 2.8% in 2022, and home prices are expected to move higher by 5.1% due to the ongoing housing shortage, even as builders ramp up production. 

Have a great day.

<description ><![CDATA[We\'ve had 2 consecutive months of decline in the pending sales numbers. The pending sales numbers are important because they give us a good indication of what will happen in the near future. Pending sales usually translates to closed sales after 30 to 45 days. It could be up to 60 days in some areas.

NAR tracks four major U.S. regions and all four regions posted both month-over-month and year-over-year drops in contract activity. Bit of a caution here. Remember we are still comparing these numbers to 2020 which was not a normal year for real estate and also these 2 months of decline could also be seasonal. So at this point I think we need to see the next set of data or pending sales for January, February and March as we head into the spring selling season. If those numbers keeps going down then we could say that yes we are definitely looking at a slow down.

Looking at 2021 overall, even with the slowdown in the last couple of months, it was still a great period for housing in terms of the number of sales and price appreciation. We are still hitting record highs.

If you are wondering what rates would look like at the end of the year, the forecast for the 30-year fixed mortgage rate could be as high as 3.9% by the fourth quarter. Last year most experts in the industry were just forecasting rates to be between 3.5 and 3.75%. In terms of existing-home sales, their forecasted to dip by 2.8% to 5.95 million units.

So we are starting to see a little bit of equilibrium, I mean we are not there but this added inventory from new construction and added inventory from sellers plus higher mortgage rates will help slow down this over heated market.

Now for my bay area people, in the immediate bay area, I\'m talking about Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, parts of Alameda & Contra Costa counties this really doesn\'t mean anything to us. Expect the same thing. And by that I mean multiple offers. Lack of inventory and in most likely still waiving contingencies up front to be competitive.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[The December housing numbers are out. After 3 straight months of gains, existing-home sales declined in December according to the National Association of Realtors®. Sales in all of the four major U.S. regions are down in December from both a month-over-month and a year-over-year basis. However, even with this last month decline in sales, we are still ending 2021 up by 8.5%.

Even with a couple of months in 2021 that sales went down we still ended 2021 at the highest lever since 2006. That means that pretty much almost everything that is put up for sale gets sold. Which also means demand still continues to be strong. If we just have more inventory of homes, we can probably easily double the number of sales. The flip side of that though is that prices won\'t be this high.

Moving forward, the expectation is for sales to slow down a little bit because of higher mortgage rates. About a couple of months ago if you asked if I thought increasing mortgage rates would slow down this market, I would have told you no.

But the way mortgage rates increased this January, I\'m more inclined to say that we might even see a significant slow down. Hopefully this spike in mortgage rates doesn\'t translate to rapidly hitting rates above 4.5%. Crossing my fingers on that.

Total housing inventory at the end of December was 910,000 units. This is down 18.0% from November and down 14.2% from one year ago. That\'s roughly 1,000,000 less inventory if you are keeping track.

Prices continue to climb and still shows no sign of slowing down. Maybe this sudden spike in mortgage rates would put a lid on these prices.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[It\'s a New Year. In this latest update, January 2022, let\'s look at the California home prices.

California median home prices for December 2021 are up 11% when compared to December 2020. On a month-to-month basis, it\'s up 1.8%.

The lowest median price of all the regions is the Far North at $379,000. The most expensive? SURPRISE. It\'s still the Bay Area at $1,200,000. That is up 13.4% when compared to December 2020.

While there\'s worry about, inflation, mortgage rates, supply chain, labor etc, it looks like home prices will continue increase simply because demand far out paces supply.

We moved here from the peninsula and during that time a lot has happened. Lots of changes just in the last couple of years or so.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Mortgage interest rates have just SKYROCKETED! Will housing finally come crashing down? Is this the beginning of the end for the housing market?

The beginning of this week was not good for prospective home buyers. Mortgage rates on average is above 3.5% (actually closer to 4%) on the 30 year fixed. 

These jumps in mortgage rates are absolutely scary because the thought was originally we are going to be slowly go up and by the end of 2022 we could be somewhere between 3.5% to 3.75%. We are not even in the middle of January and we are already close to 4%! Son of a b*&^%#!

The jump was because the FEDs announced it would offload mortgage-backed bonds from its balance sheet sooner than expected. So instead of the that slow rate increase everyone was expecting we just catapulted up. And now people are talking about possibly a 4.5% rate by the end of the year. This is not what was expected.

Mortgage rates haven\'t been this high since the start of the pandemic. During that time mortgage rates have been hitting historic lows. And some say that this further helped fuel the demand for housing. And we all the the story behind this. Plenty of demand but not enough houses to sell.
This higher interest rates could signal the the end of this hot housing market as buyers will start getting hit in affordability. When you go from 3% to 3.25% to close to 4% in less than a week that\'s a lot!

The housing market predictions that are out there is for us to be up in the low teens, around 8% by the end of 2022 and those numbers were already revised up but that was before the FEDs signaled that they were going to taper faster. I feel like the next set of forecast would get revised downward.

So what should you be doing moving forward? My main advise has always been buy and sell when you need to and not time the market. But just know what to expect so that you won\'t be disappointed.

For buyers, if you are thinking that this market will turn into a buyers market, you will surely be disappointed. While we might see a slight bump in inventory and a slight decrease in demand, the reality is that we are no where near meeting that demand for housing. So it will be less competition but there will still be competition. More inventory but still not enough to turn the tide.

For sellers, can you just put lipstick on a pig and your off to the races? Absolutely not. You have missed the boat on that. Gone are the days of just putting a sign on your lawn and not caring about how the house looks like because you have 20 buyers lined up falling all over themselves to buy your house.

While a crash is still unlikely, I think there\'s starting to be a glimpse or a slight possibility of home prices actually would start to retreat. No one expected the FEDs to act this aggressively and if they continue on this path, those 5% or 6% mortgage rates could just be around the corner. That is almost double of where we were last year and no one was saying that this was possible just a couple of weeks ago.

The housing market moves fast and all these outlook are still rosy but with everyone getting jittery, one event could send us in the other direction. So if you are ready, make your move now. Don\'t time the market. No one gets it right.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Housing is showing signs of weakness. The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Home Price Index (a lagging indicator) and the Pending Home Sales Index (a leading indicator) both reported lower numbers when compared to the last couple of months. Looking at these two indices gives us an insight of what has happened in the past, in the case of the S&P Case Shiller and what the future might look like with the pending home sales index. 

The Case-Shiller shows that October is up 19.1% but this is down from 20% peak annual gain two months prior. Both year-over-year gains and month-to-month gains have slowed down. The National Association of Realtors Pending Home Sales Index fell 2.2%. Here the key highlights;

Contract signings fell 2.2% in November, a reversal of last month\'s increase.
Compared to the prior month, contract signings dropped in all regions.
Compared to one year ago, contract signings were 2.7% lower.

Is this a clear sign that we are headed for some changes? Most experts are not predicting any price depreciation but rather a slow down in appreciation. So if you are waiting to buy, don\'t wait to long as it will cost you more in the long run.

0:00 Introduction
0:10 Why pay attention to these 2 indices?
0:52 S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Report
1:56 Home price slow down.
2:52 We\'ve had 6 consecutive months of slowing monthly gains.
3:49 Price growth won\'t slow down in these areas.
4:15 Pending Home Sales Down
5:15 My thoughts on these new reports.
5:46 What\'s in store for the future?
6:04 Why waiting to buy is not a good idea.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[The November existing homes sales number is out. This is the latest from the National Association of Realtors. The good news is that when comparing October 2021 numbers to November 2021 numbers, they are up. But when you compare November 2021 to November of 2020, the numbers are down. It\'s down 2%. We had 6.46 million sales this past November compared to 6.59 million in November 2020.

Home prices continue to increase everywhere. The median existing-home sales price rose 13.9% year-over-year to $353,900. As a matter of fact, it\'s up a record 117 straight months of year-over-year increase.

In terms of inventory, there is still no relief in sight. Down 9.8% from October and down 13.3% from one year ago. But if you are looking in the following cities, Milwaukee (+17.4%), Charlotte (+16.1%) and Buffalo (+13.5%), these markets are experiencing the largest year-over-year growth in newly listed homes.

Markets that are still seeing a decline in newly listed homes compared to last year are Hartford (-20.2%), San Francisco (-19.1%), and San Jose (-16.2%). Take note bay area people. Number 2 and number 3 are San Francisco & San Jose. I expect this to continue on to 2022 for us here in the bay area.

No surprises here. Realtor.com is calling or forecasting pretty much the same thing that Redfin is forecasting. That is, price gains will slow down but we are still faced with inventory challenges. They also provided a list of the top 100 US metros and forecasted the price appreciation as well as transaction numbers.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Here we go again. This housing market is crazy. After several months of declines, pending home sales jumped 7.5% in October. As one news outlet puts it, \"Pending Home Sales Shock 2021 housing crash bears\". Since we are in December, this should firmly put a lid on all the naysayers out there about how this housing market is a bubble and it will all come crashing down.

It almost seems like there are unusual activity in the housing market. ShowingTime index is up. They say buyer demand is up this winter and this could be another record winter for housing. We typically see a slowdown in the fall and winter but right now home sales maybe surging again. We may see a winter like never before.

There\'s also reports that home sellers are getting a jump into the selling season and not waiting for the \"traditional\" or \"normal\" spring and selling season. Whatever slowdown expectation anyone might have had about the real estate market is definitely not happening.

<pubDate >Wed, 24 Nov 2021 15:30:08 +0000</pubDate>
<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[The housing market is not improving in terms of price, PLUS the latest report from the National Association of realtors just got released and like I said earlier Existing-home sales increased in October, marking two straight months of growth.

Of the 4 major regions that gets tracked, two of the U.S. regions saw month-over-month sales climb, one region reported a drop and the fourth area held steady in October. Year-over-year basis, each region witnessed sales decrease.

Total existing-home sales or transactions that include single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops, rose 0.8% from September to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.34 million in October. Sales fell 5.8% from a year ago (6.73 million in October 2020). Again, I\'ve said this in this channel, when we compare our numbers to 2020, out numbers would be down because we packed so many transactions towards the end of that year as we came out of lockdown.

The total housing inventory at the end of October amounted to 1.25 million units, down 0.8% from September and down 12.0% from one year ago (1.42 million). Unsold inventory sits at a 2.4-month supply at the current sales pace, equal to September\'s supply, and down from 2.5 months in October 2020.

The median existing-home price3 for all housing types in October was $353,900, up 13.1% from October 2020 ($313,000), as prices climbed in each region. This marks 116 straight months of year-over-year increases, the longest-running streak on record.

Properties typically remained on the market for 18 days in October, up from 17 days in September and down from 21 days in October 2020. Eighty-two percent of homes sold in October 2021 were on the market for less than a month.

In October, first-time buyers were responsible for 29% of sales, up from 28% in September and down from 32% in October 2020. NAR\'s 2021 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers – released earlier this month4 – reported that the annual share of first-time buyers was 34%.

Individual investors or second-home buyers, who make up many cash sales, purchased 17% of homes in October, up from both 13% in September and from 14% in October 2020. All-cash sales accounted for 24% of transactions in October, up from both 23% in September and from 19% in October 2020.

Distressed sales – foreclosures and short sales – represented less than 1% of sales in October, equal to the percentage seen a month prior and equal to October 2020.

Interest rates.
According to Freddie Mac, the average commitment rate(link is external) for a 30-year, conventional, fixed-rate mortgage was 3.07 in October, up from 2.90% in September. The average commitment rate across all of 2020 was 3.11%. So interest rates are up slightly up but compared to last year still down a bit.

The bottomline.
There’s a lot of misinformation out there. You have to sort through the information to get beyond what is really happening.

Happy thanksgiving....

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Here are 4 things every renter needs to consider. As a renter, you’re constantly faced with the same dilemma: keep renting for another year or purchase a home? Your answer depends on your current situation and future plans, but there are a number of benefits to homeownership every renter needs to consider.

Here are a few things you should consider about before you settle on renting for another year.

1. Rents Are Rising Quickly
Rent increasing each year isn’t new. Looking back at Census data confirms rental prices have gone up consistently for decades. If you’re a renter, you’re faced with payments that continue to climb each year. Realtor.com recently shared the September Rental Report, and it shows price increases accelerating from August to September. It’s important to keep this in mind when the time comes for you to sign a new lease, as your monthly rental payment may increase substantially when you do.

2. Renters Miss Out on Equity Gains
One of the most significant advantages of buying a home is the wealth you build through equity. This year alone, homeowners gained a substantial amount of equity, which, in turn, grew their net worth. As a renter, you miss out on this wealth-building tool that can be used to fund your retirement, buy a bigger home, downsize, or even achieve personal goals like paying for an education or starting a new business.

3. Homeowners Can Customize to Their Heart’s Content
This is a big decision-making point if you want to be able to paint, renovate, and make home upgrades. In many cases, your property owner determines these selections and prefers you don’t alter them as a renter. As a homeowner, you have the freedom to decorate and personalize your home to truly make it your own.

4. Owning a Home May Provide Greater Mobility than You Think
You may choose to rent because you feel it provides greater flexibility if you need to move for any reason. While it’s true that selling a home may take more time than finding a new rental, it’s important to note how quickly houses are selling in today’s market. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the average home is only on the market for 17 days. That means you may have more flexibility than you think if you need to relocate as a homeowner.

Bottom Line
Deciding if it’s the right time for you to buy is a personal decision, and the timing is different for everyone. However, if you’d like to learn more about the benefits of homeownership, let’s connect so you can make a confident, informed decision and have a trusted advisor along the way.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Home buyers, this is what you have been waiting for. More sellers are putting their homes on the market in the next 6 months. That means more housing inventory is coming down the pipeline.

Sellers expectations remain high. Many are still expecting the same frenzy that dominated the past 18 months. Meaning, over bidding, waiving upfront contingencies and other aggressive offer tactics.

99% of sellers expect the same conditions just like the last 18 months. Meaning more of the same.

44% said they expect buyers to waive inspections & appraisal.
 
43% expect to get the full asking price.

42% expect to have an offer within a week.

39% expect to get more than asking.

38% expect to have a bidding war.

35% expect to receive an all-cash offer.

Are these valid seller expectations? The sad part for buyers is it\'s a resounding yes. Yes even with these added inventory projected to come on the market, it is still not enough.

For the buyers out there, you will not get a deal. You will not see price declines. You are still faced with lack of inventory and really an insane amount of people wanting to own a home. So if you are one of those buyers that says, I won\'t be competing and I won\'t go on bidding wars, do me a favor, just enjoy your life and do not go out there thinking you will find a house that the seller will repair everything and give you credit and you get it below the list price. It\'s great that we are getting more inventory but right now the effect is only slowing down the price appreciation. It\'s not causing prices to decline.

There you go. Relief in sight but not total relief. If you have questions or feedback, would love to

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Let\'s look at the housing market predictions for the rest of 2021 & 2022. While 2021 faced its fair share of ups and downs, we know one thing to be true: the real estate market not only met expert predictions, it surpassed them, breaking records along the way.

What\'s the HOUSING MARKET FORECAST?
You\'ve seen it in the news. Over bidding, price wars, bubble, severe inventory shortage, homes selling in a couple of days, home prices are escalating everywhere. This used to be a bay area phenomenon but ever since 2020, it\'s been happening all over the country.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR BUYERS & SELLERS FOR THE REST OF 2021?
If you are serious, this next few months up until mid February of 2022 could be your chance when there\'s less competition out there. Buyers tend to take a break during the holidays. My advice, don\'t stop. Again, while real estate may be slowing slightly across the nation – it’s still strong. Waiting until next year could mean losing out on a less competitive market and better affordability: the two big factors positively impacting buyers and sellers today.

It’s important to remember that the 2021 market was anything but normal, and that escalating home values were a direct result of record-low inventory. However, experts project that the inventory situation should improve in the coming year, stabilizing price appreciation across the nation.

For my bay area people. Unfortunately for us, we will continue on with this trend of lack of inventory and bidding wars. This was how our market was before the pandemic and I see it continuing into 2022.

Bottom Line
If we’ve learned anything in the past couple of years, it’s that while we can project the future, we can’t really predict it.

Most forecasters are calling for a more normal rate of appreciation of around 5% to 7%. Home prices are supposed to be decelerating but not according to GS. At least not in 2022.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Let\'s look at the latest pending sales numbers as well answer the questions, when is the best time to buy a house?

Here are the latest pending sales numbers
Contract signings rose 8% in August from July after two consecutive monthly declines.
Contract signings rose in all regions from the month before, led by the Midwest and South.
Contract signings were 8.3% lower than this time last year.

While we are seeing improvement on the month-to-month numbers, the year-over-year numbers are still down. Mainly because we are comparing our current numbers to highly inflated numbers from last year. Last year we packed so many business coming out of the lockdown.

https://www.nar.realtor/newsroom/pending-home-sales-recover-8-1-in-august

When is a good time to buy a house? Early October is the sweet spot for buyers. Here are the 3 reason why:
1. Increased Housing Supply
2. Fewer Bidding Wars
3. Adjusted Homes Prices or Price Reductions

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[The foreclosure moratorium of 2021(mortgage forbearance 2021) is over. Will the housing market crash in 2022?

This housing market by far is one of the hottest markets in US history. Home prices are up double digits every month year over year. But things are changing. No doubt you\'ve probably seen on the news that things are cooling off. And even probably seen the most recent headline that says foreclosure starts are up 49% over the last year.

There are no more mortgage forbearance extension. Expect to see that the number of foreclosures will be up in the next couple of months. For the record, this is not a \'when is the next housing crash prediction\". Rather a look at the numbers and putting everything in context.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[The latest report from the National Association of Realtors shows that home sales drop again.

https://magazine.realtor/daily-news/2021/09/22/home-sales-slip-as-buyers-reevaluate-their-home-search

Existing-home sales, and this is for all types of properties - single-family homes, townhomes, condos, and co-ops—dropped 2% on a seasonally adjusted annual rate from July to August.

The median existing-home price is at $356,700 a nearly 15% increase compared to a year earlier.

Here’s a closer look at housing indicators from NAR’s August housing report:

Housing inventory: The total housing inventory at the end of August was 1.29 million units, down 1.5% compared to July and down 13.4% from a year ago.

Unsold inventory is at a 2.6-month supply at the current sales pace. This is the same as last month,

Days on the market: Eighty-seven percent of homes sold in August were on the market for less than a month. Properties stayed on the market an average of 17 days in August, down from 22 days a year ago. Still selling fast.

First-time buyers comprised 29% of sales in August, down from 33% in August 2020. Apparently student loan debt is increasingly getting in the way of first-time buyers; this was a new study done by NAR.

Report said that student debt is preventing the majority of non-owner millennials and those earning more than $100,000 from buying a home. 

Again, buyers are still out there but this continued challenge of lack of inventory and escalating home prices are giving would be home buyers pause. And if mortgage rates start increasing, I think there maybe a lot of buyers that gets totally priced out of this market.

Investors and second-home buyers accounted for 15% of existing-home sales in August, up from 14% a year earlier. Investors and second-home buyers tend to make up the biggest bulk of all-cash transactions. All-cash sales comprised 22% of transactions in August, up from 18% in August 2020.

Here\'s our regional breakdown

Northeast: Existing-home sales decreased 1.4% last month reaching an annual rate of 730,000. Sales are down 2.7% compared to a year ago. Median price: $407,800, up 16.8% from one year ago.

Midwest: Existing-home sales dropped 1.4% in August to an annual rate of 1.37 million. Sales are 2.1% below August 2020. Median price: $272,200, a 10.5% increase from a year earlier.

South: Existing-home sales decreased 3% in August, registering an annual rate of 2.55 million. That is down 0.8% compared to the same time a year ago. Median price: $303,200, up 12.8% from a year ago.

West: Existing-home sales fell 0.8% to an annual rate of 1.23 million in August, down 1.6% compared to August 2020. Median price: $507,900, up 11.4% compared to a year ago.

Something big is about to happen in the housing market. My housing predictions for 2022 are...
1. Price appreciation might be slowing down (more like should).
2. Interest rates will rise.
3. Home buyer demand will still be high but with higher prices, more inventory and higher mortgage rates, the frenzy could be over.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Will there be an October housing crash just like the stock market in the past? If you\'ve lived long enough or maybe you are a student of finance history, you know that a lot of not so good things happen in October. I wonder since the forbearance moratorium is ending at the end of September, could this be the case with housing this October? Is this the end? Is this the so called housing bubble 2021?

Check out these links:
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/o/octobereffect.asp
https://learn.roofstock.com/blog/cities-with-highest-mortgage-delinquincy

Now the October effect that has happened in the stock market could hit the real estate market because the mortgage forbearance program is ending this September 30th and the Biden administration said they won\'t be extending it anymore.

Well, here\'s what I\'m afraid might play out. For me, there are a few things I look at.
1. I don\'t believe that we are short 4,000,000 housing units. If you\'ve watched my other videos, I stated that I think this number is inflated. I think there are a lot of wanna be buyers that get counted, that for one reason or another can\'t really buy and therefore I think should not be counted. These are the unrealistic buyers that whatever price is presented to them, they want to pay lower and also buyers that gets scared when the market goes down. Again I think that 4,000,000 is inflated.

Second thing I\'m looking at is that we\'ve gotten used to these low inventory levels that I believe this is embedded in our psyche right now and any increase in inventory no matter how small will have a massive impact on buyers. I\'ve seen how fast buyers mindset change. If very little inventory has been coming in on the market then they see a change. An increase, no matter how slight that change is, they start thinking or get a wait and see attitude.

Number 3. Everything is magnified by the media and therefore when something gets reported, hardly anyone tries to find out what the context is. And I go back to what I just mentioned regarding inventory. The latest report says that inventory is increasing. But the media doesn\'t tell you that the increase is not significant. But because most people just read the headline \"inventory increasing\" they think all hell is about to break loose and they start acting like it.

And number 4, because of my previous 3 reasons, how long will these positive equities last especially for those that are in trouble and do end up needing to sell. Think about this, say you have a bunch of regular sellers in one particular neighborhood selling, then you have maybe one neighbor that was in forbearance and they need to sell quick in order for them not to get foreclosed. Maybe they price their home a little bit more aggressively than the competition?

So with all this nervousness built in the market, it feels like something big is about to happen in the housing market. Right now (housing market predictions 2022) that\'s what I see starting to happen. People talking about an October housing market crash just like what has happened in the past with the stock market. And it\'s because of the combination of everything that I have mentioned. And if that\'s the narrative that is being pushed out there, it could be a self fulfilling prophesy. Might not all happen in October((housing crash 2021). In fact it could be in 2022 but this could be the beginning. What do you think will happen in the housing market come October? I\'d like to hear your thoughts so please comment below.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Is the housing market big shift here? The past year has been a crazy one for real estate. Severe lack of inventory and record breaking price appreciation has been the theme of this market.

Here are the latest percentages showing the year-over-year increase in home price appreciation:

The House Price Index (HPI) from the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA): up 18.8%

The S&P National Home Price Index from Case-Shiller: up 18.6%

The Home Price Insights Report from CoreLogic: up 18%

Everybody now wants to know what is in store for the foreseeable future. Are we starting to see the market shift? When will the housing market crash? Pretty much everyone is worried or scared that we might be in a housing bubble that we will eventually crash. Add to that the fact that we have a lot of outside forces bearing down on us. Things like the delta variant, the economy, political uncertainty all these things are weighing heavy on would be home buyers.

Here\'s what I\'m starting to see in my local market and also how my clients are reacting to these events.

One, there is an increase of inventory. The increase in inventory is not significant. As a matter of fact it still does not meet demand yet. Right now the clients that I am helping buy a house have a little more of a \"wait and see\" attitude because they are seeing properties coming on the market.

On the flip side, the people that I am helping sell their property, the offers that are coming in are not that aggressive anymore. No more releasing of contingencies upfront. Still getting good prices or offers but not the usual frenzy.

And this is not only here in my local market. According to a recent realtor.com article, inventory rose 5.1% in the 50 biggest US metros that they track.

Columbus OH had the biggest increase in inventory followed by Louisville, KY and then Cleveland OH. This is according to the newly released monthly housing report.

Now another thing that might be signaling a shift is mortgage applications. According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, Mortgage application volume has fallen to its lowest level since mid-July for the week ending September 03.

According to the report mortgage applications to purchase a home were basically flat last week, falling 0.2% from one week earlier. Purchase application volume was 18% lower than the same week one year ago. 

Again this is one of those logical assumptions that I make. If inventory is going up and there are a lot of buyers, mortgage purchase applications should also be increasing and not going down.

Right now my gut feeling is that 60%, I feel like the shift has started because of inventory and the list to price ratio. If you\'re a buyer, any added inventory is a win. The same thing with price. Homes not going over list no matter how small, again that\'s a win.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Quick update on the housing inventory. Realtor.com just came out with a report that says inventory of homes jumped by 5.1% and get this there\'s been price adjustments.

Now we\'ve talked about that in this channel in like forever. This has been pretty much the theme of this housing market. Low inventory facing buyers and basically driving prices up with multiple offers or bidding wars.

Check out the realtor.com to see the list of the 50 metros.

Those numbers are huge or seems huge when you just look at it like that. I know that the rallying cry of this market is that we need more inventory and inventory going up 20+ that is actually good.

So this is definitely good news. New listings or inventory is up 4.3% when you compare it to the past year.

Instead of competing against 15 or 20+ offers the competition might just be 2 or 3 or if your lucky your the only bidder!

So the bottomline is there are more inventory coming into the market but it\'s still a sellers market. And by the way I keep repeating this, it doesn\'t mean prices are going to come down but rather just slowing down.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Are we starting the slowdown sooner that later? Well it seems like it from the latest Pending Home Sales Index (PHSI) that came out form the National Association of Realtors.

The question is will this trend continue as we see more inventory come on the market or will the delta variant put us back to pandemic levels.

Here are the key highlights on the report:

Compared to June, only the West saw contract signings increase in July.

The Northeast experienced the largest monthly and year-over-year decreases. 

All regions recorded year-over-year declines, dropping 8.5% nationally.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Should you still be buying a house now? Here are key questions to ask yourself. With prices skyrocketing, the threat of new shut downs, inflation etc, a lot of people are afraid that home prices might be in a bubble. Everyone seems to think there is a housing bubble. A mortgage meltdown 2.0

If you are thinking of buying here are some key questions to ask yourself.
1. What\'s going on with home prices and where is it headed?
2. What\'s going on with mortgage rates and where is it headed?
3. Why is buying a home important to you and are you ready?

The 2021 National Homeownership Market Survey shows that six of the nine reasons Americans value homeownership are because of how it impacts them on a personal, aspirational level. The survey says homeownership provides:

Stability
Safety
A Sense of Accomplishment
A Life Milestone
A Stake in the Community
Personal Pride

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Here\'s the latest update on forbearance and the real estate market update as of August 2021.

Lot\'s of chatter out there right now about the eviction moratorium ending, getting extended, law suits stopping the federal government from extending it. Also in the headlines is the real estate market boom over.

Today we will see what the latest update is on the forbearance program and what is currently happening in real time in the real estate market. 

Originally, experts said 30 percent of all mortgages would go into the forbearance program, and all of those would lead to foreclosures. That was a mind blowing number. I mean think about it, 30% of all mortgages would go into foreclosure. 

We actually topped out at 8.47 percent of mortgages, and today, it’s down to three and a half percent, and that three and a half percent that equates to 1.86 million mortgages.

Here\'s more good news. According Black Knight nearly 87 percent of homeowners in the forbearance plan have at least ten percent equity. So, what does that mean? That means that those homeowners can sell their home, protect their investment and avoid the foreclosure process. 

This is a big difference from when we had the mortgage crisis. Homeowners back then did not have any equity in their property. Hence all the short sales and foreclosures. That is also why a lot of homeowners were just walking away from their homes.

Here\'s a quote from Ivy Zelman, a trusted expert in the real estate and mortgage industry that I follow,

“The likelihood of having a foreclosure crisis again is about zero percent.”

HHEADLINES
Home sales dropped to a new low. Home sales drop in June as prices continue to rise. Pending home sales drop. The question that always comes up is: is this seasonal? Is this something that’s happening in the summer?

There is some seasonality to this. People couldn’t take a vacation last year, and this year, I don’t think they’re going to take one. They’re probably going to take two when they can get out, but there’s also another contributing factor at play, and that’s rising home prices.

You in May, the year-over-year house price appreciation. FHFA says 18 percent. CoreLogic says 15.4 percent. Case-Shiller says 16.6 percent, a lot of buyers right now saying, “Wow, prices are going up too quickly. I’m not sure I want to continue on this.”

So, a little note to sellers out there, as buyers start to dwindle and more sellers say, “We can sell our home for this amount,” you need to be careful. This is a time when a lot of sellers try to catch the market and dare I say start having unrealistic expectations.

And the buyers out there. Remember you are still competing. So you won\'t see any price decline let a lone a crash. Check out this slide I always go to right here that shows the market that we’re in clearly in still a seller’s market, but maybe, just maybe off that bottom and coming back, and so, something important to pay attention to is we’re on front end of this shift in real estate coming out of the last year.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Is there really a risk of a housing bubble? Where ever you turn the news is either the coronovirus delta variant, Trump or housing bubble. Frankly I\'ve had enough.

When the pandemic started everybody thought that the housing market was going to collapse. It actually did the exact opposite. While major parts of the economy got it and almost collapsed, housing went on a tear.

Here are the key differences between then and now. Back then there were a lot of speculators buying houses. Mortgage was so easy to get and there were a ton of inventory.

Today, most everyone that is buying a house is because they need or really want to own a house. It\'s not easy to get approved for a mortgage and we do not have enough inventory to meet demand. 

There\'s all this talk of trying to slow it down so that it becomes more sustainable. I\'d argue that by trying to artificially manipulate the market is down right wrong. They talk about raising interest rates so that it could drive down prices. 

If you raise interest rates to drive down prices, it\'s basically the same thing. An $800,000 mortgage in the bay area right now with a 3% interest rate is at $3,373 monthly mortgage. Say you raise interest rates to 4% and you drove down the prices of homes and say your mortgage loan amount is now only $700,000, care to guess what the monthly payment will be? $3,342.

The other brilliant idea is tax credits and grants. Basically giving people money or tax credits so they can go out and buy a house that they cannot buy. See the simply fact is this. There is a severe shortage of housing. Inventory. And I am not even talking affordable housing.

What we need are new less restrictive zoning laws and real incentives for builders to build both market rate housing and low income affordable housing that will meet the growing demand of the American people.

Here\'s the thing. There\'s a lot of bidding wars going on all over the country. But it doesn\'t mean there\'s a bubble. Rising home prices are totally justified by the lack of inventory right now. Manipulating the market by raising mortgage rates or giving these tax incentives or grants does not solve the root cause of the problem.

So bubble or not a bubble, what needs to be addressed is the lack of housing. higher interest rates won\'t help. Incentives for home buyers and grants won\'t help. Its build baby build. 

Government needs to go full blown socialist on the low income side of the market. Builders need to be able to fast track building permits. And I\'m not only talking about properties for sale. We need to be able to build more apartment buildings.

Eventually prices will slow down or maybe even go down because the reality is that we do have a finite amount of buyers that can afford these prices. When it does slow down, it will probably feel like a crash because you will hear people say, I told you so. It can\'t go on forever.

One last thing. Just because the fundamentals are great doesn\'t mean there is no risk associated with this. There are other outside forces that we might not even know about. Right now I can think of this new delta variant, wild fires and other natural disasters that could derail this whole economy and this could also go down in flames.

So there you go. I don\'t think its a bubble but there is always something unknown out there that could derail this whole ting.

Thanks for watching.

<description ><![CDATA[Is there really a risk of a housing bubble? Where ever you turn the news is either the coronovirus delta variant, Trump or housing bubble. Frankly I\'ve had enough.

When the pandemic started everybody thought that the housing market was going to collapse. It actually did the exact opposite. While major parts of the economy got it and almost collapsed, housing went on a tear.

Here are the key differences between then and now. Back then there were a lot of speculators buying houses. Mortgage was so easy to get and there were a ton of inventory.

Today, most everyone that is buying a house is because they need or really want to own a house. It\'s not easy to get approved for a mortgage and we do not have enough inventory to meet demand. 

There\'s all this talk of trying to slow it down so that it becomes more sustainable. I\'d argue that by trying to artificially manipulate the market is down right wrong. They talk about raising interest rates so that it could drive down prices.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[This is our monthly real estate market report for Castro Valley for August 2021.

For July 2021 we had 59 total properties that got sold compared to 65 last year. This is for all types of properties. A 9% decrease in closed transactions.

So the talk lately has been the eventual slow down in home price appreciation, more inventory coming into the market and interest rates going up.

The slow down in home price appreciation hasn\'t happened yet here in Castro Valley. There\'s still definitely lots of demand and not enough inventory.

Mortgage rates are still projected to end up higher by the end of the year but currently we are still below 3% as of this video.

How long will this last or continue? I say that we continue to go at this pace for the rest of the year which right now is in line with what the experts are forecasting for the overall real estate market.

You might also hear a lot of doom and gloom and most of them will cite this ridiculous double digit home price appreciation that we\'ve had. While it is ridiculous, it is not inflated or a bubble. We\'ve talked about this so many times on this channel. Demand is real and there\'s no supply plus the buyers out there are well qualified buyers.

Unless we all of a sudden have a bunch of new homes being built here in Castro Valley and a bunch of people start putting their homes on the market, I dont see prices going down anytime soon.

The forecast is that the overall market or national market will still go up by an average of 12.46% for 2021. This is a latest revised forecast. Last time the average of the forecast was only around 9%. I believe we see double digit gains here in Castro Valley by the end of the year and maybe will continue in 2022 if we still have inventory shortage.

In contrast to the national market most experts believe that we go back to normal levels of appreciation. 2% to 3% and maybe 5% here and there.

That\'s our Castro Valley real estate market update for August 2021.

Last week, Fannie Mae released their Home Purchase Sentiment Index (HPSI). Though the survey showed 77% of respondents believe it’s a “good time to sell,” it also confirms what many are sensing: an increasing number of Americans believe it’s a “bad time to buy” a home. The percentage of those surveyed saying it’s a “bad time to buy” hit 64%, up from 56% last month and 38% last July.

What’s that mean for you?

Alternative 1: I’ll rent instead.
Some may consider renting as the better option. However, the monthly cost of renting a home is skyrocketing. According to the July National Rent Report from Apartment List:

“…So far in 2021, rental prices have grown a staggering 9.2%. To put that in context, in previous years growth from January to June is usually just 2 to 3%. After this month’s spike, rents have been pushed well above our expectations of where they would have been had the pandemic not disrupted the market.”

If you continue to rent, chances are your rent will keep increasing at a fast pace. That means you could end up spending significantly more of your income on your rental as time goes on, which could make it even harder to save for a home.

Alternative 2: I’ll wait it out.
Others may consider waiting for another year and hoping that purchasing a home will be less expensive then. Let’s look at that possibility.

The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) projects mortgage rates will be at 4.2% by the end of next year.

The Home Price Expectation Survey (HPES), a survey of over 100 economists, investment strategists, and housing market analysts, calls for home prices to increase by 5.12% in 2022.

<title >Is The Housing Market Headed For A Crash In 2021 - Diverging Views of Home Buyers &amp; Sellers</title>

<pubDate >Mon, 19 Jul 2021 19:00:02 +0000</pubDate>
<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[The diverging views of home buyers and home sellers was a recent article from Realtor magazine.
Here are the highlights:

77% of consumers said it’s a good time to sell, up from 67% last month. Fifteen percent of respondents said it’s a bad time to sell. I wonder what those 15% are thinking. Anyway.

64% of consumers said it’s a bad time to buy a home, up from 56% last month. Thirty-two percent of respondents said it’s a good time to buy a home.

48% of respondents said they expect home prices to rise over the next 12 months, up from 
47% last month.

57% of respondents expect mortgage rates to go up over the next 12 months, up from 49% last month. Thirty percent expect mortgage rates will stay the same and 6% expect rates to decrease.

88% of consumers say they are not concerned about losing their job over the next 12 months, up slightly from 87% last month.

27% of respondents say their household income is significantly higher than it was 12 months ago, a drop from 29% last month. Fifty-six percent of respondents say their household income is about the same as last year while 13% say their household income is significantly lower.

Why are home owners or seller feel sellers or home owners so upbeat?

Existing-home sales prices were at a record high in May and up nearly 24% compared to a year earlier ($350,300), according to the National Association of REALTORS®.

These higher home prices have translated into greater equity for home sellers. In the first quarter of 2021, the average homeowner saw their equity climb nearly 20% in the past year, gaining about $33,400, according to a report from CoreLogic. The forecast for 2021 is almost another 9% price appreciation.

Meanwhile, home buyers aren’t feeling as good about the housing market.
Sixty-four percent of consumers say it’s a bad time to buy a home, up from 56% the previous month—also a record high, according to Fannie Mae.

Despite of this diverging views on home buying and selling, the expectations are still that demand for housing will remain high. We still have near historical low mortgage rates, consumer confidence about the economy and job situation, household income, it\'s higher that last year when the pandemic shut us down.

This kind of begs the question for many buyers and sellers : what does that mean for me? If you’re a buyer, more inventory coming to market is a welcome sight. More supply means more options and less competition, which could mean fewer bidding wars. According to the latest Monthly Housing Market Trends Report, supply levels are continuing to increase, which is different from the typical summer market. If you are a seller our supply challenges aren’t over yet. It\'s still a great time to sell. Get a jump on the competition.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[First half of the year is done. What can we expect in real estate in the second half of 2021? Will there be a market crash? Will the bubble finally burst? Will interest rates climb? Will inventory increase or remain the same?

Spoiler alert. For the second half of the year, we most likely continue to see much of the same. No there won\'t be any real estate market crash (yet???). There is no bubble that will pop. The fundamentals of this market is strong. This is not a repeat of the mortgage meltdown.

Yes, interest rates will climb. It\'s not a question of if but more of when and how high. A little bit of disclaimer here. The last two years that has been the common consensus but the opposite is what has occurred. Rates have continued to drop or stayed the same.

Finally inventory. There\'s good signs in the home builder front. There are more houses being built. Still won\'t be meeting our demand needs but a welcome relief. On the resale side, hopefully the sellers that were on the fence last year whether it was because of COVID or any other reason, should start to put their homes on the market. Again this wont be enough to meet our demand.

The foreclosure crisis or forbearance crisis? Two words for you. Not happening. The government is hell bent on not letting foreclosure 2.0 from happening again. They are doing everything in their power to keep people in their homes.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Are cracks in the housing market finally appearing? There is no doubt that right now the real estate market is red hot wherever you go. There are a lot of people forecasting doom and gloom. How this will be worst than the mortgage meltdown. Or we are doing it all over again.

This \"run\" that we\'ve had in real estate has lasted longer than the average real estate cycle. This is what is causing a lot of people to worry. Some even say a bubble. If you\'ve watched my videos, you know how I have gone over this several times already. How and why this is not a bubble.

So what will make this market crash? Burst? Well, definitely not demand. Demand right now is still high. For every house that one of my clients have made an offer on, we competed with at least 7 offers on average. 

Supply or inventory? At the beginning of the pandemic this is what the \"negative\" people were focused on. They said that once forbearance ends we will have a glut of properties hitting the market. Did you know that even if all the properties in forbearance was indeed to go on the market, it still won\'t meet demand? Inventory is at historical lows. The builders haven\'t been building enough to meet our demand. 

Another mortgage crisis? Definitely NOT!!! Credit standards have changed since the mortgage meltdown. The quality of buyers right now are so much better than 10 years ago. Credit risk and product risk are statistically low.

Interest rates? We are still at historically low interest rates right now. For the past two years, rates have been forecasted to increase. And it would increase for a short time and then go back lower. Currently, the forecast is again for rates to climb to 3.5% by the end of the year or early next year. Higher than where we are right now but still near historical lows.

Economy? There\'s been talk of a lot of money printing and a lot of unemployed people (jobs number came out and it was higher than expected). Money printing and inflation, usually the hedge on that are tangible assets. In some ways real estate might be a better investment if we do start to hit inflation. Unemployment?

Unemployment disproportionately affects mostly renters right now. In fact, as our economy goes full steam ahead, I would argue that it could make real estate even hotter as more and more people start getting jobs and start thinking about buying homes.

So does this mean we go on forever? Higher and higher? Absolutely not. We all know nothing last forever. Eventually some event or a combination of event will cause a panic or actual financial hurt that makes home buyers or home owners rethink their whole housing situation.

I believe that the two things that can cause a slow down (NOT A CRASH), are price and interest rates. There will be a certain point where price, no matter what the demand, will become too expensive for most people. Add to that higher interest rates and you will start to have a lot of buyers that either can\'t qualify for properties that they like or can\'t afford it or just simply won\'t pay those amounts.

In some ways I am starting to see signs of this in some markets. Buyers are now getting \"pickier\". It\'s too early to tel if this is indeed the case. One thing I know is that every time I have said to myself, we possibly can\'t go any higher, we just go higher some more.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[This is our real estate market update for July 2021 for Castro Valley, CA. Everything is new but everything remains the same. Demand is still high. Inventory is still low. Translation? Higher prices, short marketing times.

BUT! Are we starting to see signs of a slowdown? Are we starting to see buyers saying no to higher prices or is this just like the beginning of 2019 all over again? Back then it seemed liked the real estate market was losing steam only to go up much higher and stronger!

Who knows what really is in store for the future? It still looks good from where I\'m sitting.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[One of the questions I\'m most often asked is should you renovate your Castro Valley house before selling?

Fair question and definitely an important thing to consider if you are planning on selling your house. These 3 tips will help you whether your house is in Castro Valley or anywhere in the east bay.

First thing to consider is the market condition. And when I say market I am not referring to the real estate market that you hear in the news. Real estate markets are very specific. There is no one homogenous real estate market like that is being portrayed in the media.

Look at your neighborhood. What is going on? How many properties are for sale? How long are they staying on the market? What are the conditions of the properties that gets sold and what are the condition of the properties that don\'t get sold.

Next is unfinished projects. Never ever show a house that has unfinished projects. These could be holes in the wall, loose wiring, partially painted walls. Your goal when showing your house is to make sure that the buyer has very little to nothing at all that they find in terms of what is wrong with the house.

DISCLAIMER!!! I\'m not telling you to hide material facts or defects about your home.

Finally the most important, if you are going to work on your house, what would that be? What would be the most bang for your buck? It would be great if you can renovate the whole house before selling but who has time and money to do that? Picking the right projects is crucial

Fair question and definitely an important thing to consider if you are planning on selling your house. These 3 tips will help you whether your house is in Castro Valley or anywhere in the east bay.

First thing to consider is the market condition. And when I say market I am not referring to the real estate market that you hear in the news. Real estate markets are very specific. There is no one homogenous real estate market like that is being portrayed in the media.

Look at your neighborhood. What is going on? How many properties are for sale? How long are they staying on the market? What are the conditions of the properties that gets sold and what are the condition of the properties that don\'t get sold.

Next is unfinished projects. Never ever show a house that has unfinished projects. These could be holes in the wall, loose wiring, partially painted walls. Your goal when showing your house is to make sure that the buyer has very little to nothing at all that they find in terms of what is wrong with the house.

DISCLAIMER!!! I\'m not telling you to hide material facts or defects about your home.

Finally the most important, if you are going to work on your house, what would that be? What would be the most bang for your buck? It would be great if you can renovate the whole house before selling but who has time and money to do that? Picking the right projects is crucial

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[This is the eastbay real estate market report for June 2021.

Here\'s an overview of what is going on in Contra Costa and Alameda counties. For May 2021, in Contra Costa County, sales are up113%. From 685 to 1461 properties. This is for all types of properties. New listings up 12%. From 1452 to 1629. The average days on the market down 42%. From 24 days to 14 days. This means that properties are selling at a faster clip. Median sales price up 35% and median list price is up 25%. This means that properties are not only listing 25% higher from last year but also they are still selling 35% higher in the end.

It\'s the same pattern for Alameda county. Number of sales up 164% for all types of properties. From only 584 back in May of 2020 to 1543 this past May. The number of new listing are up as well. From 1,396 in May of 2020 to 1793 this past May. That\'s a 23% increase. Average days on the market, down 40%. From 25 days to 15 days. In cities like Castro Valley, Dublin, Livermore, there are certain neighborhoods that this is down to less than 7 days. That is crazy fast! Median sales price up almost 29%. Median list price up 12%. Same thing with Contra Costa county. Properties are getting listed higher compared to May of 2020 and they are still getting sold much higher.

So the question inevitably comes to where do we go from here? Right now, these numbers or activity that is going on is very much sustainable and dare I say we could still be headed higher. I call this the gentrification of the whole bay area. Pretty soon the Delta will be in the millions as well.

If you are thinking of selling your east bay home, we can and we would love to help you out. Check out some of our listings in the description below.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[The latest numbers for home sales plunge in April.

For the third consecutive month in a row, existing-home sales posted another decline. Existing-home sales—completed transactions that include single-family homes, townhomes, condos, and co-ops—fell 2.7% in April compared to March, reaching a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.85 million, NAR reported on Friday. Despite the drop, home sales remain nearly 34% higher than a year ago. 

Home prices continue to rise. The median existing-home sales price jumped 19.1% year over year to $341,600—record highs, NAR reports. All four major regions posted a double-digit year-over-year increase in April. 

Demand is really strong across the board. Especially when you compare January to April of this year to last year. Up 20%.

Let\'s take a a closer look at existing-home sales from April, according to NAR’s latest report:

Home prices: The median existing-home price for all housing types in April reached a record high of $341,600, up 19.1% from April 2020 ($286,800).

Housing inventory: Total housing inventory remains near record lows. At the end of April, 1.16 million units were on the market, down 20.5% from a year ago. Unsold inventory is at a 2.4-month supply at the current sales pace.

Days on the market: Eighty-eight percent of the homes sold in April 2021 were on the market for less than a month. Properties typically remained on the market for 17 days in April, down from 27 days a year ago. These numbers are amazing nationwide. Here in the east bay it takes 7 days. 7 days to go pending.

First-time buyers: First-time buyers comprised 31% of sales in April, down from 36% a year earlier. According to Lawrence Yun “First-time buyers in particular are having trouble securing that first home for a multitude of reasons, including not enough affordable properties, competition with cash buyers, and properties leaving the market at such a rapid pace,” 

Investors and second-home buyers: Individual investors and second-home buyers purchased 17% of homes in April, up from 10% in April 2020. Investors and second-home buyers tend to make up the bulk of all-cash sales, which accounted for 25% of transactions in April, up from 15% a year earlier.

Regional Breakdown

Here’s how existing-home sales fared across the country last month:

Midwest: The Midwest was the only region that posted higher sales in April. Existing-homesales increased 0.8% to an annual rate of 1.29 million, a 13.2% increase from a year earlier. The median price was $259,300, a 13.5% rise from April 2020.
Northeast: Existing-homesales dropped 3.9% in April from March, but the annual rate of 730,000 represents a 30.4% jump from a year ago. The median price was $381,100, up 22% from April 2020.
South: Existing-homesales fell 3.7%, reaching an annual rate of 2.6 million in April. Sales are up 39.0% from a year earlier. The median price was $289,600, a 15.8% jump from a year ago.
West: Existing-homesales dropped 3.1% from the month prior, reaching an annual rate of 1.23 million in April--a 53.8% surge from a year ago. The median price was $501,200, up 19.9% from April 2020.

<description ><![CDATA[The latest numbers for home sales plunge in April.

For the third consecutive month in a row, existing-home sales posted another decline. Existing-home sales—completed transactions that include single-family homes, townhomes, condos, and co-ops—fell 2.7% in April compared to March, reaching a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.85 million, NAR reported on Friday. Despite the drop, home sales remain nearly 34% higher than a year ago. 

Home prices continue to rise. The median existing-home sales price jumped 19.1% year over year to $341,600—record highs, NAR reports. All four major regions posted a double-digit year-over-year increase in April. 

Demand is really strong across the board. Especially when you compare January to April of this year to last year. Up 20%.

Let\'s take a a closer look at existing-home sales from April, according to NAR’s latest report:

Home prices: The median existing-home price for all housing types in April reached a record high of $341,600, up 19.1% from April 2020 ($286,800).

Housing inventory: Total housing inventory remains near record lows. At the end of April, 1.16 million units were on the market, down 20.5% from a year ago. Unsold inventory is at a 2.4-month supply at the current sales pace.

Days on the market: Eighty-eight percent of the homes sold in April 2021 were on the market for less than a month. Properties typically remained on the market for 17 days in April, down from 27 days a year ago. These numbers are amazing nationwide. Here in the east bay it takes 7 days. 7 days to go pending.

First-time buyers: First-time buyers comprised 31% of sales in April, down from 36% a year earlier. According to Lawrence Yun “First-time buyers in particular are having trouble securing that first home for a multitude of reasons, including not enough affordable properties, competition with cash buyers, and properties leaving the market at such a rapid pace,” 

Investors and second-home buyers: Individual investors and second-home buyers purchased 17% of homes in April, up from 10% in April 2020. Investors and second-home buyers tend to make up the bulk of all-cash sales, which accounted for 25% of transactions in April, up from 15% a year earlier.

Regional Breakdown

Here’s how existing-home sales fared across the country last month:

Midwest: The Midwest was the only region that posted higher sales in April. Existing-homesales increased 0.8% to an annual rate of 1.29 million, a 13.2% increase from a year earlier. The median price was $259,300, a 13.5% rise from April 2020.
Northeast: Existing-homesales dropped 3.9% in April from March, but the annual rate of 730,000 represents a 30.4% jump from a year ago. The median price was $381,100, up 22% from April 2020.
South: Existing-homesales fell 3.7%, reaching an annual rate of 2.6 million in April. Sales are up 39.0% from a year earlier. The median price was $289,600, a 15.8% jump from a year ago.
West: Existing-homesales dropped 3.1% from the month prior, reaching an annual rate of 1.23 million in April--a 53.8% surge from a year ago. The median price was $501,200, up 19.9% from April 2020.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[In this video we will do a tour of the Castro Valley Marketplace. We will visit the different vendors and see what they have to offer.

Years ago when we first moved to Castro Valley, the Daughtrey\'s sat empty for the longest time. It was this big box of nothing. It seemed liked every Castro Valley resident had a say on what to do with the building. 

To say that this was a long time coming would be an understatement. All the back and forth with would be developers and the board that would approve any development seemed to take forever. When it finally happened, everybody was so excited. 

As luck (not really luck) would have it, when it was ready to open in early 2020, the corona virus happened. As you can imagine, a lot of the merchants were concerned and some of them had to delay finishing some of the construction.

I made a video when it first opened and at that time it seemed like (to me) that it was going to be an uphill battle for everyone involved. One year later, I am glad to see that it has become such a popular place.

Here\'s the main website for the Castro Valley Market Place. From here you can jump to any of the merchants\' own website.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[You can still avail of forbearance if you are impacted by COVID-19. Let\'s look at the myths and the facts surrounding forbearance. I want to thank my Chicago Title rep for bringing this to my attention.

Here\'s a link to Fannie Mae that can help you if you are thinking of forbearance.

https://www.knowyouroptions.com/options-to-stay-in-your-home/overview/forbearance?_ga=2.58431663.429906202.1618599850-18526860.1618599850

What is a Forbearance?
With this option, you and your mortgage company agree to temporarily suspend or reduce your monthly mortgage payments for a specific period of time. This option lets you deal with your short-term financial problems by giving you time to get back on your feet and bring your mortgage current.

Forbearance may be an option if you are:
-Behind on your mortgage payments or on the verge of missing payments
-Experiencing a temporary hardship

What are the benefits of forbearance?
-Lower or temporarily suspend your monthly payment—giving you time to improve your financial situation and get back on your feet
-Less damaging to your credit score than a foreclosure
-Stay in your home and avoid foreclosure

How does forbearance work?
Forbearance reduces your monthly mortgage payment—or suspends it completely—during the forbearance period. If you qualify for forbearance, you and your mortgage company will discuss the forbearance terms:
-length of forbearance period,
-reduced payment amount (if the payment is not suspended), and
t-he terms of repayment.

After the forbearance has ended, you will need to repay the amount that was reduced or suspended. However, you are not required to repay the missed amount all at once, though you have that option. Other potential options allow you to make an additional payment each month for a peariod of time until the past due amounts are repaid (see Repayment Plan), move the missed amount to the end of your loan term (see Payment Deferral), or set up a loan modification, if you are eligible (see Modification).

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Home prices continue to skyrocket in the latest housing market report. Is a bubble forming? The most recent Standard & Poors CoreLogic Case-Shiller home price index report showed a 12% increase in Feb. That\'s on top of the 11.2% in January. That\'s 9 consecutive months of increasing prices. 

The median existing-home sales price in March rose by a record-breaking annual pace of 17.2% to a historic high of $329,100, with all regions posting double-digit price gains. The median existing-single-family home sales price jumped 18.4% to $334,500, both historic highs.

Existing-home sales fell 3.7% from the prior month to a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of 6.01 million as sales in all major regions declined. From one year ago when home sales first started to fall due to the pandemic, sales are higher by 12.3%.

As of the end of March, housing inventory slightly rose to 1.07 million units, down by 28.2% year-over-year. Properties typically sold in 18 days, a record low.

The narrative behind all this is that COVID-19 is really pushing home buyers from apartment living to suburban living. A lot of this activity could also be driven by our historically low mortgage rates. As the US economy is starting to open up and our economic recovery is gathering more steam, there is an influx or a wave of new buyers that are seeking to get into the market. 

This upward pressure in price doesn\'t seem to be slowing down. And you constantly hear people talk about a bubble. 

Tom Gimbel CEO of LaSalle Network, a Chicago-based recruitment firm said \"This economy isn’t coming back. It is back,”

Why is it hard to find a house? There is no inventory. When will the bubble burst? It\'s not a bubble.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[There seems to be no end in sight. The California housing market continues to go up and break records.

Here are the highlights from the most recent California Association of Realtors March home sales report.

https://bit.ly/3sH4Q6L

- Existing, single-family home sales totaled 446,410 in March on a seasonally adjusted annualized rate, down 3.5 percent from February and up 19.7 percent from March 2020.

- March’s statewide median home price was $758,990, up 8.6 percent from February and up 23.9 percent from March 2020.

- Year-to-date statewide home sales were up 17.1 percent in March. 

At the regional level, all major regions, except for the Central Valley, experienced a double-digit sales surge from a year ago. 
 
Home sales in resort markets remained robust in March. Housing demand in resort markets does not appear to be easing despite the state lifting more restrictions and the Coronavirus outbreak seemingly under control.
 
Nearly nine out of ten counties — 44 of 51 — tracked by C.A.R. had a year-over-year increase in closed sales, with Plumas having the strongest gain of 208.3 percent last year, followed by Del Norte (107.1 percent), and Glenn (68.8 percent). 

Every major region set a new record-high median price in March 2021 and continued to increase from last year by double digits. 

All 51 counties tracked by C.A.R. reported a gain in median price on a year-over-year basis, with 45 of them increasing more than 10 percent. 

The median number of days it took to sell a California single-family home hit a record low of 8 days in March, down from 15 days in March 2020.

C.A.R.’s statewide sales-price-to-list-price ratio* posted a record high in March at 102.2 percent and was 100 percent in March 2020.

The statewide average price per square foot** for an existing single-family home remained elevated. 

The 30-year, fixed-mortgage interest rate averaged 3.08 percent in March, down from 3.45 percent in March 2020, according to Freddie Mac. The five-year, adjustable mortgage interest rate was an average of 2.78 percent, compared to 3.16 percent in March 2020.

Active listings fell 51.1 percent in March from last year — the third consecutive month that listings declined more than 50 percent. 

The available supply of homes for sale continued to tighten up across the state, with all major regions near their record low levels.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[When is the housing market going to crash? Will it ever crash again? In this video I will tell you why I\'m actually still very bullish in this housing market. Here are the 4 reasons why it won\'t happen:

1. Currently almost 50% of homeowners leaving forbearance are already caught up with their monthly home mortgage. My suspicion is that there are a lot of home owners in forbearance that actually are not in trouble.

2. Banks don\'t want your houses back and they are doing everything that they can to not have a repeat of 2008.

3. If all else fails, a home owner that is truly in trouble can still sell the traditional way and not go into foreclosure. Why? There are a lot of equity in homes right now.

4. BAILOUT! This by far is the biggest reason there won\'t be any foreclosures and also one of the reason that I am still very bullish on this housing market not crashing.

Link to the CFPB proposed rule
Protections for Borrowers Affected by the COVID-19 Emergency Under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), Regulation X

https://www.consumerfinance.gov/rules-policy/rules-under-development/protections-for-borrowers-affected-by-the-covid-19-emergency-under-the-real-estate-settlement-procedures-act-regulation-x/

Will it ever crash? Most likely it will but it won\'t be because of our current situation. Not because of the pandemic. Not because of forbearance. Only time will tell.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[This is the latest housing report for the east bay for April 2021. The trend continues. We have low inventory. Every month we go lower that previous month or compared to the same time period.

The prices continue to climb. Houses that are for sale are getting multiple offers and in most cases 20% over the asking and more. The question is no longer, are we going to go down this year but how high are we going to end the year.

This report is for single family houses in the east bay. If you would like to know the condos and townhomes, comment below.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Why is California real estate or housing so expensive compared to the rest of the country? Is it because of the high demand and lack of supply? That\'s what most people will tell you. On my market updates, I give you this same narrative.

If it\'s a supply and demand issue, then why can\'t we build more? Like everything else that makes California expensive, regulations. Some of the reasons that makes housing expensive are, labor cost, materials cost, land cost but the biggest culprit which I believe actually contributes to all these is over regulation.

<pubDate >Mon, 29 Mar 2021 17:15:19 +0000</pubDate>
<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Thinking of moving to the east bay? Here are some things to know about the east. bay before moving here. The east bay is an amazing place to live. But just like any other place, it\'s got its negatives. In this video that\'s what we will look into.

***Towards the end of the video, the volume just dropped. Sorry about that. Here\'s what I said on that part of the video:
\"I reported one about a year ago and the trash is still there. Who\'s in charge? What else do we need to do? It doesn\'t only apply to garbage being dumped on the side of the road, it\'s also just general littering. Again how is it that someone just thinks that \"oh this candy wrapper I have, I\'ll just let the wind take it\"? I mean who thinks like this? I\'ll tell you the same people that I mentioned earlier.

Next time you are on the freeway, your local neighborhood or the trails, just pay attention and you would be amazed at how much littering goes on. One more thing before we move on. You know mountain bikers are always being vilified or not being allowed to go on certains trails, one particularly group is the Sierra club, they always oppose opening up new trails to mountain bikers, but let me tell you this, mountain bikers or a lot of mountain bikers actually volunteer to fix trails and clean up trails. And also I have never met or seen a mountain biker leave trash on the trail. Not like hikers! That\'s right, who else is on the trail?

Next are people. Now don\'t get so riled up with this one. I am not picking or pointing out a particular group of people but this is more of a generality. I know not everyone is like this and if you fall in this category and you get upset with it, well chances are you are that person. Because the region in general there\'s no mincing words here, a more affluent cash rich area, a very diverse area, highly skilled professionals and highly educated population with let\'s face it, lots of money, you encounter a lot of snobbery.

Add to this cultural differences and language barrier it might feel that way. There is a certain attitude, not all and not a lot of people, there\'s a certain attitude of entitlement. Also for me it doesn\'t help that the media keeps magnifying our differences and also this label of I\'m a Filipino American or a Chinese American or African American to me it should be I\'m an American of Filipino descent. I mean aren\'t we all here because we love this country and want to be a part of this country. Why not start with what we have in common. I don\'t know. I\'d like to hear your thoughts on this.

I think the last one I want to share with you is Crime. Now before I continue let me say if you want to check crime data, check out the FBI website. You can also check out neighborhood scouts. Those two sites have information regarding crime statistics. What I\'m about to share with you is more anecdotal and frankly I\'m not compiling nor have I done extensive research on this.

This is mainly around Castro Valley where I live. From social media post to news post that I see, it seems that crime, property crime is really going up. Just in Castro Valley I see several posts about catalytic converters being stolen or mail being discovered somewhere else. Or even video capture of people stealing stuff. Some of these videos that I have seen online are frankly brazen. I saw one that was posted on Nextdoor.com. It was in the middle of the day, on a busy street, someone just parked and then started opening up the tool box behind the pick truck. I mean they dont even wait for the cover of darkness. What scares me even more is when I hear of home invasions. That\'s freakin next level.\"

<description ><![CDATA[Thinking of moving to the east bay? Here are some things to know about the east. bay before moving here. The east bay is an amazing place to live. But just like any other place, it\'s got its negatives. In this video that\'s what we will look into.

***Towards the end of the video, the volume just dropped. Sorry about that. Here\'s what I said on that part of the video:
\"I reported one about a year ago and the trash is still there. Who\'s in charge? What else do we need to do? It doesn\'t only apply to garbage being dumped on the side of the road, it\'s also just general littering. Again how is it that someone just thinks that \"oh this candy wrapper I have, I\'ll just let the wind take it\"? I mean who thinks like this? I\'ll tell you the same people that I mentioned earlier.

Next time you are on the freeway, your local neighborhood or the trails, just pay attention and you would be amazed at how much littering goes on. One more thing before we move on. You know mountain bikers are always being vilified or not being allowed to go on certains trails, one particularly group is the Sierra club, they always oppose opening up new trails to mountain bikers, but let me tell you this, mountain bikers or a lot of mountain bikers actually volunteer to fix trails and clean up trails. And also I have never met or seen a mountain biker leave trash on the trail. Not like hikers! That\'s right, who else is on the trail?

Next are people. Now don\'t get so riled up with this one. I am not picking or pointing out a particular group of people but this is more of a generality. I know not everyone is like this and if you fall in this category and you get upset with it, well chances are you are that person. Because the region in general there\'s no mincing words here, a more affluent cash rich area, a very diverse area, highly skilled professionals and highly educated population with let\'s face it, lots of money, you encounter a lot of snobbery.

Add to this cultural differences and language barrier it might feel that way. There is a certain attitude, not all and not a lot of people, there\'s a certain attitude of entitlement. Also for me it doesn\'t help that the media keeps magnifying our differences and also this label of I\'m a Filipino American or a Chinese American or African American to me it should be I\'m an American of Filipino descent. I mean aren\'t we all here because we love this country and want to be a part of this country. Why not start with what we have in common. I don\'t know. I\'d like to hear your thoughts on this.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[What do you do in Castro Valley on a cold and cloudy Saturday? You go mountain biking in Lake Chabot of course.

Just wanted to share with you this quick ride I did with one of my friends early Saturday morning. We started from Proctor elementary and hit the trailhead to the golf course. From there we climbed Brandon Trail. FYI as long as you are on Brandon trail you will never get lost. Or if you do ever get lost, just go back to Brandon.

It\'s about a two mile climb to the second bench. From there made a right on Redtail and ended up at the Marciel gate. Then we hit some speed done on Cottontail. We looped it back to Brandon at the bottom by turning left and going back to Marciel rd. My shifting was starting to be an issue.

After this we just went back down where we came from. Here\'s a link to my Strava so you can see the loop if you wanted to try it.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[The question lately has been are mortgage rates going up? Are we going to continue to see sub 3% rates?

We’re currently experiencing historically low mortgage rates. Over the last fifty years, the average on a Freddie Mac 30-year fixed-rate mortgage has been 7.76%. Today, that rate is 2.81%. Flocks of homebuyers have been taking advantage of these remarkably low rates over the last twelve months. However, there’s no guarantee rates will remain this low much longer.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[What? Don\'t buy a house in 2021? It\'s bad for home buyers out there right now. There\'s no sugar coating it. It\'s tough out there. What do you do?

If you are a home seller it\'s great until you have to replace that property that you just sold. Especially if you are staying within the bay area.

Key Highlights from the latest numbers from the National Association of Realtors or NAR.

Single-family existing-home prices rose in all measured metro areas in the fourth quarter. This is the whole united states. For our purposes, the east bay is lumped into SF-Oak-Hayward metro.

Eighty-eight percent of metro areas had double-digit price gains.

The monthly mortgage payment on a typical existing single-family home rose to $1,040 and the family income needed to afford a home increased to $49,908, compared to one year ago.

Here are some of the highest price gainers in the nation.

Bridgeport, Conn. (39.0%);

Pittsfield, Mass. (32.2%);

Atlantic City, N. J. (30.0%);

Naples, Fla. (29.9%);

Barnstable, Mass. (28.9%);

Crestview, Fla. (28.6%);

Boise City, Idaho (27.1%); - a favorite destination of Californians

Binghamton, N.Y. (24.4%);

Kingston, N.Y. (24.2%);

and Spokane, Wash. (23.6%). another destination for Californians.

In a majority of metro areas—130 of the 183 metro areas NAR tracked—a family needed less than $50,000 to pay their mortgage (71% of metros; 69% in 2020 Q3).

However, in seven metro areas, NAR found that a family needed more than $100,000 in income to buy a house. This was the case in San-Jose-Sunnyvale, Calif. ($222,989); San Francisco, Calif. ($181,576); Anaheim, Calif. ($148,925); Urban Honolulu, Hawaii ($143,748); San Diego, Calif. ($117,865); Los Angeles, Calif. ($109,694); and Boulder, Colo. ($105,330).

So what\'s the bottomline? What do you do if you are a buyer? Like I said earlier, if you are ready, willing and able and you have a need to buy a home, go for it and don\'t stop but be aware and realistic of what is happening out there. I\'ve seen it time and again, after 2 or 3 offers, some buyers all of a sudden lose hope and they take a \"breather\" in their home search. So you never know when or where all of a sudden you find the right home and your chances are higher because of less competition.

For sellers, does this mean slap any price on your property? Absolutely not! While buyers are willing to pay huge premiums, they also expect that the homes that they are buying are priced right compared to what is on the market. So make sure you still price it right and that your home is presentable. Even in these hot seller market, there are homes that dont sell.

<description ><![CDATA[What? Don\'t buy a house in 2021? It\'s bad for home buyers out there right now. There\'s no sugar coating it. It\'s tough out there. What do you do?

If you are a home seller it\'s great until you have to replace that property that you just sold. Especially if you are staying within the bay area.

Key Highlights from the latest numbers from the National Association of Realtors or NAR.

Single-family existing-home prices rose in all measured metro areas in the fourth quarter. This is the whole united states. For our purposes, the east bay is lumped into SF-Oak-Hayward metro.

Eighty-eight percent of metro areas had double-digit price gains.

The monthly mortgage payment on a typical existing single-family home rose to $1,040 and the family income needed to afford a home increased to $49,908, compared to one year ago.

Here are some of the highest price gainers in the nation.

Bridgeport, Conn. (39.0%);

Pittsfield, Mass. (32.2%);

Atlantic City, N. J. (30.0%);

Naples, Fla. (29.9%);

Barnstable, Mass. (28.9%);

Crestview, Fla. (28.6%);

Boise City, Idaho (27.1%); - a favorite destination of Californians

Binghamton, N.Y. (24.4%);

Kingston, N.Y. (24.2%);

and Spokane, Wash. (23.6%). another destination for Californians.

In a majority of metro areas—130 of the 183 metro areas NAR tracked—a family needed less than $50,000 to pay their mortgage (71% of metros; 69% in 2020 Q3).

However, in seven metro areas, NAR found that a family needed more than $100,000 in income to buy a house. This was the case in San-Jose-Sunnyvale, Calif. ($222,989); San Francisco, Calif.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Here\'s the latest housing report for our east bay real estate market for February 2021. 
The big picture for the east bay real estate market is inventory. Inventory was up in Alameda county as well as Contra Costa County when comparing January of 2020 to the latest.

The market remained hot as sales numbers were also up as well as list price and sold prices. Marketing time was down, meaning homes are selling at a faster clip compared to last year.

Will this trend continue into February?

While I think most of us are happy to have 2020 in the rearview mirror, the reality is that 2020 set the table for 2021 in the real estate market. Today, we’re going to talk about a lot of the things that we can expect to see this year, as well as a look back at what happened last year, to better understand what the future has in store for us.

The biggest fear last year and moving forward is the fact that are we going to see 2008 all over again. I\'ve made videos comparing 2008 and where we currently are and why this isn\'t 2008 all over again, from price appreciation, to inventory, to equity, basically all the things that we know about the real estate market that are factually true to help counter all of the negative news and misconception that is out there.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[What happens to homeowners after their forbearance period ends? This is one of the biggest concerns a lot of homeowners and investors have. It was recently announced that FHA is extending their foreclosure and eviction moratorium as well as your ability to request mortgage forbearance until 2022! IS this truly helping or is it just prolonging the agony and making things worse? Will this mortgage forbearance ultimately lead to a housing crisis? If you need to ask for mortgage forbearance is it too late? What are the steps you need to know?

If you’re currently feeling the stress of affording your mortgage payment, or if you know someone who is, there’s still time to get help. For homeowners experiencing financial hardship this year, the CARES Act provides mortgage payment deferral options, creating much-needed relief in these challenging times.

It’s important, however, to understand how forbearance works. It’s not automatic. You need to take action now and apply for the program before these options expire.

A study by the Urban Institute determined:

“Approximately 400,000 homeowners who became delinquent after the pandemic began have forgone forbearance and become delinquent. These borrowers may not know they are eligible for forbearance.”

Thankfully, there’s still time to apply for forbearance, even if you’re just learning about it now. Doing so may be the game-changer you need to stay in your home, just when you need it most. Mike Fratantoni, Senior Vice President and Chief Economist at the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), explained:

“The increase in new forbearance requests may be the result of additional outreach to homeowners who had previously not taken advantage of forbearance opportunities.”

If you need to apply for forbearance but aren’t sure how to begin the process, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) published 5 steps to follow when requesting mortgage forbearance:

1. Find the contact information for your servicer
Look at your mortgage statement to find the phone number for your servicer (the company you send your mortgage payment to every month). The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau encourages you to use the number on your statement to avoid scams.

2. Call your servicer
Explain your situation so your servicer can determine your best course of action. Be sure to ask any questions you have about the process.

3. Ask if you’re eligible for protection under the CARES Act
The CARES Act protects homeowners with federally backed loans (FHA, VA, USDA, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac). In addition, some private servicers are also providing forbearance programs.

4. Ask what happens when your forbearance period ends
Depending on the plan available to you, there are different options you may be able to consider. Your servicer will help you get a better understanding of what’s available.

The CFPB also recommends asking questions like:

What happens to the payments I miss?
What are my repayment options?
When will repayment be due?
Are there any fees?

5. Ask your servicer to provide the agreement in writing
A written agreement allows you to see exactly what type of program you’re agreeing to. It also helps you make sure it matches what you discuss with your provider over the phone.

Bottom Line
Help is out there for homeowners in need, but it’s important to apply now while this benefit is still available. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says: don’t wait, forbearance is not automatic. It must be requested. Reach out to your mortgage provider today so you can get the assistance you need to protect the hard-earned investment you’ve made in your home.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[There’s no doubt 2020 has been a challenging year. A global pandemic coupled with an economic recession has caused heartache for many. However, it has also prompted more Americans to reconsider the meaning of “home.” This quest for a place better equipped to fulfill our needs, along with record-low mortgage rates, has skyrocketed the demand for home purchases.

So it begs the questions; is it still a good time to buy a house?

This increase in demand, on top of the severe shortage of homes for sale, has also caused more bidding wars and thus has home prices appreciating rather dramatically. Some, therefore, have become cautious about buying a home right now.

The truth of the matter is, even though homes have appreciated by a whopping 6.7% over the last twelve months, the cost to buy a home has actually dropped. This is largely due to mortgage rates falling by a full percentage point.

<description ><![CDATA[There’s no doubt 2020 has been a challenging year. A global pandemic coupled with an economic recession has caused heartache for many. However, it has also prompted more Americans to reconsider the meaning of “home.” This quest for a place better equipped to fulfill our needs, along with record-low mortgage rates, has skyrocketed the demand for home purchases.

So it begs the questions; is it still a good time to buy a house?

This increase in demand, on top of the severe shortage of homes for sale, has also caused more bidding wars and thus has home prices appreciating rather dramatically. Some, therefore, have become cautious about buying a home right now.

The truth of the matter is, even though homes have appreciated by a whopping 6.7% over the last twelve months, the cost to buy a home has actually dropped. This is largely due to mortgage rates falling by a full percentage point.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Talk of a housing bubble is beginning to crop up as home prices have appreciated at a rapid pace this year. This is understandable since the appreciation of residential real estate is well above historic annual averages. 

It’s easy to jump to the conclusion that house appreciation is out of control in today’s market. However, we need to put these numbers into context first.

Inflation and the Comeback from the Housing Crash
Following the housing crash, home values depreciated dramatically from 2007-2011. Values are still recovering from that unusually long period of falling prices. We must also realize that normal inflation has had an impact.

Bill McBride, the founder of the well-respected Calculated Risk blog, recently summed it up this way:

“It has been over fourteen years since the bubble peak. In the Case-Shiller release today, the seasonally adjusted National Index, was reported as being 22.2% above the previous bubble peak. However, in real terms (adjusted for inflation), the National index is still about 2% below the bubble peak…As an example, if a house price was $200,000 in January 2000, the price would be close to $291,000 today adjusted for inflation.”

The COVID Impact on Home Prices
The pandemic caused many households to reconsider whether their current home still fulfills their lifestyle. Many homeowners now want larger yards that are both separate and private.

Their needs on the inside of the home have changed too. People now want home offices, gyms, and living rooms well-suited for video conferencing. Barbara Ballinger, a freelance writer and the author of several books on real estate, recently wrote:

“While homeowners continue to want their outdoor spaces that offer a safe retreat, that appeal has shifted into other parts of the home, coupling comfort with function. In other words, homeowners want amenities for work and leisure, and they plan to enjoy them long after the pandemic.”

At the same time, concerns about the pandemic have caused many homeowners to put their plans to sell on hold. Realtor.com just released their November Monthly Housing Market Trends Report. It explains:

“Nationally, the inventory of homes for sale decreased 39.2% over the past year in November…This amounted to 490,000 fewer homes for sale compared to November of last year.”

More people buying and fewer people selling has caused home prices to escalate. However, with a vaccine on the horizon, more homeowners will be putting their houses on the market. This will better balance supply with demand and slow down the rapid appreciation.

That’s why major organizations in the housing industry are calling for much more moderate home appreciation next year. Here are the most recent forecasts for 2021:

National Association of Realtors: 4.5%
Freddie Mac: 2.6%
Fannie Mae: 2.1%
Mortgage Bankers Association: 2%

This Is Nothing Like 2006
Finally, let’s put to rest some of the concerns that today’s scenario is anything like what led up to the last housing crash. Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at the National Association of Realtors (NAR), explains why this is nothing like 2006:

“Such a frenzy of activity, reminiscent of 2006, raises questions about a bubble and the potential for a painful crash. The answer: There’s no comparison. Back in 2006, dubious adjustable-rate mortgages taxed many buyers’ budgets. Some loans didn’t even require income documentation. Today, buyers are taking out 30-year fixed-rate mortgages. Fourteen years ago, there were 3.8 million homes listed for sale, and home builders were putting up about 2 million new units. Now, inventory is only about 1.5 million homes, and home builders are underproducing relative to historical averages.”

Bottom Line
Most aspects of life have been anything but normal in 2020. That includes buying and selling real estate. High demand coupled with restricted supply has caused home prices to appreciate above historic levels. With the end of the health crisis in sight, we will see price appreciation return to more normal levels next year.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[The National Association of Realtors latest pending home sales report for October shows a decline or drop. What does this mean? Are home sales dropping? Are prices starting to come down. 

Here\'s the latest report from the National Association of Realtors.
Pending home sales dipped slightly last month but continue to remain elevated compared to a year ago. The National Association of Realtors or NAR’s Pending Home Sales Index, a forward-looking indicator based on contract signings, fell 1.1% in October but are up 20.2% year over year.

What does this mean? Well if you\'ve been watching my update videos, this shouldn\'t be a surprise. Normally during this time of the year sales slow down, more so in election years.

The report goes on to say, “Pending home transactions saw a small dropoff from the prior month but still easily outperformed last year’s numbers for October,
 the housing market is still hot, but we may be starting to see rising home prices hurting affordability.” Frankly I am not seeing this yet in the bay area.

Further data states that NAR’s existing-home sales report, reflecting October data, showed median home prices nearly 16% higher than a year ago. The median existing-home price was $313,000 in October. I\'ll have the east bay market report ready by early next week. Subscribe so you wont miss that update.

Housing inventories remain tight as buyers compete for the limited number of homes on the market. I see this first hand because I have a lot of buyers right.

According to NAR “Scarce housing and low [mortgage] rates plus very strong demand have pushed home prices to levels that are making it difficult to save for a down payment, particularly among first-time buyers, who don’t have the luxury of using housing equity from a sale to use as a down payment,”

Also this whole work from home phenomenon has also increased the demand for both primary and secondary homes.”

The housing markets that have seen the largest recoveries since the COVID-19 pandemic began or that have exceeded their Jan. 20 levels are Las Vegas-Henderson-Paradise, Nev.; San Francisco; Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, Wash.; San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif.; and Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, Calif., according to realtor.com®’s Housing Market Recovery Index.

Contract signings were mixed across the country in October, although each of the four major regions posted annual gains. The South was the only region of the U.S. to eke out an increase in pending home sales in October month over month. However, double-digit gains annually continued across the country, led by the South with pending home sales up 21% compared to a year ago, followed by the West up 20.8% annually, a 19.6% increase in the Midwest, and an 18.5% increase in the Northeast.

If our economy does not stumble, we should continue to see further pricing pressure upward to continue. However should we experience a hiccup this could come tumbling down fast as everyone is already on the edge.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Are you thinking of buying a home? Looking into the various types of loans? In this video, I will give you a brief overview of FHA loans. What is it? Who qualifies? How do you qualify and why it\'s not a good loan.

2020 FHA Loan Limits
Lending Limits for FHA Loans in Your State
The FHA has a maximum loan amount that it will insure, which is known as the FHA lending limit. These loan limits are calculated and updated annually, and are influenced by the conventional loan limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The type of home, such as single-family or duplex, can also affect these numbers.

For 2020, the FHA floor was set at $331,760 for single-family home loans. This minimum lending amount covers 80% of all U.S. counties. The FHA ceiling represents the maximum loan amount and is illustrated in the table below.

Also for 2020, the FHA ceiling was set at $765,600 for single-family home loans. This represents the highest amount that a borrower can get through the FHA loan program. It applies to high cost areas in the United States and is illustrated in the table below.

You can also use FHA loans for multi family properties as long as you live in one of the units.

FHA Loan Requirements
Important FHA Guidelines for Borrowers
The FHA, or Federal Housing Administration, provides mortgage insurance on loans made by FHA-approved lenders. FHA insures these loans on single family and multi-family homes in the United States and its territories. It is the largest insurer of residential mortgages in the world, insuring tens of millions of properties since 1934 when it was created.

FICO® score at least 580 = 3.5% down payment.
FICO® score between 500 and 579 = 10% down payment.
MIP (Mortgage Insurance Premium ) is required.
Debt-to-Income Ratio Less Than 43%.
The home must be the borrower\'s primary residence.
Borrower must have steady income and proof of employment.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[It\'s that time again. Time for the November housing report for the east bay.
Is it a good time to buy or sell a house in the Bay Area in October?

In this video, we\'ll be looking at the east Bay real estate market statistics to see the status of the market.

The trend remains the same. Low inventory, high demand, mortgage interest rates at all time lows, equals rapidly escalating prices. Multiple offers, non-contingent offers are still the norm. 

Where do you think we are headed in 2021?

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[I\'m starting to see red flags that could cause huge problems in the housing market. If you\'ve seen my market update videos, you know that I have been bullish on this real estate market. Pandemic, election, riots etc. Nothing could stop this market. Heck, all the projections by the expert are still all in the positive column.

But these \"red flags\" are a little concerning. These seemingly little problems can become huge problems for the real estate market. I\'m particularly concerned about this whole work from home phenomenon that\'s happening right now. This could lead to a lot of changes and job exportation.

Popular destinations are Texas, Arizona & Washington State. Let\'s compare three cities from these states namely, Austin, Phoenix and Seattle to a city here in the east bay. We\'ll use Fremont as our city and see the difference.

Here are several website sources that I used and are helpful if you are moving to any of these places. Of course you can always ask us and we can out you in touch with any of our partners that will help you in your move to ANY city or STATE in these great United States of America.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[It\'s August. Time for our housing market update for Castro Valley, Dublin, Hayward and San Leandro. With interest rates so low and the news of people moving out of city centers or metropolitan areas, how is that affecting the housing market?

For the most part, housing prices remain strong. However, there seems to be a little slowdown in the condo and townhouse market. Could this be just a bleep or will this be a continuing trend?

Real estate remains the bright spot in our economy.

<pubDate >Mon, 13 Jul 2020 21:45:01 +0000</pubDate>
<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Last week Suze Orman posted on her Facebook page about not acting or buying real estate (not going into the housing market) until September, October or November. Is Suzy Orman wrong? Is there a housing bubble? She is concerned about this current pandemic (coronovirus aka covid-10) and what it is doing to our economy (recession???).

She mentioned homeowners that are on unemployment and have missed their mortgage payments (mortgage forbearance courtesy of the CARES Act; economic stimulus) as one of her concerns and believes that prices will be going down because of this event. She seems to be worried about a coming foreclosure crisis.

In her example she said that if you buy a home now say worth $300,000, it could be worth $150,000 if prices dropped. She went and compared what might happen in the near future to what happened back in 2007-2008. That was the mortgage meltdown.

Is she right? Are we in a housing bubble or real estate bubble? Is an economic collapse imminent? A lot of people have it in their minds about we will see a coming housing crash 2020 or a real estate crash 2020.

In this video I will talk about this and see if what she is saying is valid and give you my own opinion on the real estate market as it relates the bay area, particularly the east bay and the cities that I serve like Castro Valley, Hayward, Dublin and San Leandro.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Lately when I have been asked \"is now a good time to buy a house?\", the next questions or comments that follows are usually; when will the housing market crash or or I heard that there will be a coming real estate market crash.

Mainly because of what this current coronavirus pandemic (aka as COVID-19) has done to our economy. An economic recession that frankly we have not experienced or seen before.

With unemployment at record highs and companies going bankrupt and record number of home owners going into mortgage forbearance, the questions are frankly, valid.

A couple of points why we have not yet seen a mortgage crash or a housing crash. First, when we entered this current recession, we had one of the best economic conditions we\'ve had in recorded history. Unemployment was near record lows.

Second, the real estate market was also in the best position before this pandemic. Home owner equity was at all time highs. Mortgage debt was low. Interest rates was also near record lows.

And third, the actions of the government and the FEDs with the CARES Act and other stimulus packages that are still currently in the works is definitely helping putting housing crash 2.0 on hold, maybe or totally putting a stop to it.

However, even with all these positive things going for the economy, the experts can\'t even have a concession on how things will be moving forward.

What I see right now in the market is that real estate prices remain strong simply because inventory and interest rates are still low. You might hear that transactions or the numbers are down, this is true but the fact remains that there are more buyers than sellers. So inventory is still a huge challenge.

My thought is that for home prices to decline or for the housing market to crash it would be a combination of the following:
1. Our economy goes into an actual tailspin downwards. Right now people are still expecting we have a quick recovery because this recession was caused by an outside force and not a financial one.

2. The social unrest that we are experiencing worsens and safety and security becomes an issue.

3. Continued unpredictability with our foreign trade.

4. Unemployment continues to rise and homeowners starts not being able to afford their homes and are forced to sell. Even with high equity levels, once we see an influx of inventory, rapid price decline could be expected.

But right now, we remain solid. Home prices still appreciating. Home owners are not discounting their prices and home buyers are still paying a premium.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[As we head into hopefully the full opening up of our economy, the questions everybody is asking is \"where is the economy going\"? Are we headed for a depression? Are we headed for a recession? Some people are even asking if we are headed for a great depression? Will there be another housing crash?

The latest unemployment numbers today came out and it surprised everybody. Instead of losing 8 million jobs as forecasted, May jobs report did much better than expected actually gaining 2.5 million jobs.

The resilience of the economy is definitely a good sign for the future. However we face new challenges in riots happening everywhere. Riots in Minneapolis, riots in Chicago, riots in Seattle and pretty much most major cities in the US. Whatever gains that we are experiencing or looking forward to, could easily be wiped out by continued civil unrest.

One silver lining is real estate. Experts are saying the housing market is poised to lead us out of this coronavirus pandemic induced economic meltdown.

But even with all the statistics and the numbers pointing us to a more positive outcome, people are still worried about the homeowners in mortgage forbearance. There are about 4.1 million home owners in forbearance according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. Certainly not a mortgage crisis by any means but it is something to think about.

I don\'t believe that this could cause a mortgage crisis or a housing crash by any means. Certainly for sure we don\'t have a real estate bubble like the last time. So a housing market crash in 2020 or mortgage crisis 2020 is not in the cards right now.

While I cannot speak to the overall housing market for 2020 in California, I can tell you right now, in the East Bay, prices are holding steady and even going higher. There are certainly pockets of weakness in the East Bay real estate market, but those weaknesses were already there before this pandemic hit us.

Would love to hear your thoughts...

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Wow. Can you believe it? We are already in June. With the spring selling season almost over and summer is almost here, the questions and comments that I keep getting are, what is happening in the real estate market and is now a good time to buy? Actually the last question is usually not a question but rather a comment that goes like this \"when the prices come crashing down I will buy\".

Hey guys, it\'s Mac Rogers, broker/owner of Albert Rogers Realty here in Castro Valley CA. If you are new to the channel, this is all about real estate market updates as well as tips and advise for home buyers and home sellers. If you like this info please click the like and subscribe button. If you have any questions, comments or feedback please let me know below.

In Castro Valley, comparing May 2019 and May 2020, the number of active properties is down but the number of pendings is up! What is also up is the average sales price! Days on market, meaning how fast properties goes pending stayed the same.

If you watched my April update, the numbers where just like this. Less inventory and higher sales price. The one thing surprising about this is the number of pendings being higher.

Same story in Hayward. Inventory way down. Pending sale are up. Average sales price also up. Days on market about the same.

It was a little different in Dublin. Comparing May 2019 and May 2020, all the numbers are down. active, pending and sold properties all down. Days on the market, a little lower from 25 to 20. What is not down is the average sales price. Up by 3%

In San Leandro, the story was similar to Dublin but prices a bit lower. But the properties were selling much faster, days on market was significantly lower.

As you can see in the cities that I mentioned the story is the same. Less inventory. Shorter days on the market and higher sales price with the exception of San Leandro. This was basically our story before covid.

Prices remain strong. Even though buyer activity has gone done, inventory has not gone up. This is still putting a squeeze in prices. That\'s why prices are not falling and actually doing the opposite.

Around March and early April I was advising my clients that there maybe a 3 to 6 month window where the competition for buying a home might be low. I told them that prices might not budge but there might be less competition and it might be great to get in and buy while the competition is taking a breather.

Well, that shifted right away. It didn\'t didnt take 3 months. It took less than 3 weeks for things to go back to the way they were before. As a matter of fact by mid April it was clear that buyers were back. The quick decline that we experienced in March and early April went the opposite way.

I\'ll give you two recent experience my clients and I had.
There were 2 properties that my clients made offer on and both of them were in Hayward. One was an absolutely gorgeous, newly remodeled 3 bedroom and 2 bath with a view, not a million dollar view but good enough, and a 1 car garage. The property did not have a master bedroom and was located in a very busy and narrow street. We offered $15,000 over asking which I told my clients might not be that strong of an offer. You want to know what we got back from the sellers? A counter offer that\'s $80,000 above their asking price!!! They received 9 offers in total and all except for one was above the asking price.

And then there\'s this other property that my other clients wrote an offer on. Now this property is the total opposite of the first one. It needed a lot of work! It had an unpermitted garage conversion that was falling apart. There were molds everywhere because of a pass leak. The bathrooms and the bedrooms needed to be repainted and remodeled.

Basically a property that would scare away a lot of home buyers. It got over 5 offers and we received a counter for a higher price. Now the price wasn\'t such a big deal. It was only $5,000 more than what we offered. However the terms were a little bit tough to accept. No loan contingency. No more inspections because the seller already provided them ahead of time. But with the condition of the property really bad my buyer, could not or would not budge on the no additional inspections. And oh by the way, of course, the seller was not going to make any repairs.

So the answer to the first question of \"how\'s the real estate market doing?\" I guess you can say it\'s going back to normal. Meaning multiple offers, short to no contingencies and shorter days on market.

As for the second question of \"is now a good time to buy?\" we will tackle that question on the next video next week.

That\'s our real estate update for this June. If you would like an update for your specific city please comment below and I will send that to you.

If you are new to the channel, this is all about real estate market updates as well as tips and advise for home buyers and home sellers. If you like this info please click the like and subscribe button. If you have any questions, comments or feedback please let me know below.

In Castro Valley, comparing May 2019 and May 2020, the number of active properties is down but the number of pendings is up! What is also up is the average sales price! Days on market, meaning how fast properties goes pending stayed the same.

If you watched my April update, the numbers where just like this. Less inventory and higher sales price. The one thing surprising about this is the number of pendings being higher.

Same story in Hayward. Inventory way down. Pending sale are up. Average sales price also up. Days on market about the same.

It was a little different in Dublin. Comparing May 2019 and May 2020, all the numbers are down. active, pending and sold properties all down. Days on the market, a little lower from 25 to 20. What is not down is the average sales price. Up by 3%

In San Leandro, the story was similar to Dublin but prices a bit lower. But the properties were selling much faster, days on market was significantly lower.

As you can see in the cities that I mentioned the story is the same. Less inventory. Shorter days on the market and higher sales price with the exception of San Leandro. This was basically our story before covid.

Prices remain strong. Even though buyer activity has gone done, inventory has not gone up. This is still putting a squeeze in prices. That\'s why prices are not falling and actually doing the opposite.

Around March and early April I was advising my clients that there maybe a 3 to 6 month window where the competition for buying a home might be low. I told them that prices might not budge but there might be less competition and it might be great to get in and buy while the competition is taking a breather.

Well, that shifted right away. It didn\'t didnt take 3 months. It took less than 3 weeks for things to go back to the way they were before. As a matter of fact by mid April it was clear that buyers were back. The quick decline that we experienced in March and early April went the opposite way.

I\'ll give you two recent experience my clients and I had.
There were 2 properties that my clients made offer on and both of them were in Hayward. One was an absolutely gorgeous, newly remodeled 3 bedroom and 2 bath with a view, not a million dollar view but good enough, and a 1 car garage. The property did not have a master bedroom and was located in a very busy and narrow street. We offered $15,000 over asking which I told my clients might not be that strong of an offer. You want to know what we got back from the sellers? A counter offer that\'s $80,000 above their asking price!!! They received 9 offers in total and all except for one was above the asking price.

And then there\'s this other property that my other clients wrote an offer on. Now this property is the total opposite of the first one. It needed a lot of work! It had an unpermitted garage conversion that was falling apart. There were molds everywhere because of a pass leak. The bathrooms and the bedrooms needed to be repainted and remodeled.

Basically a property that would scare away a lot of home buyers. It got over 5 offers and we received a counter for a higher price. Now the price wasn\'t such a big deal. It was only $5,000 more than what we offered. However the terms were a little bit tough to accept. No loan contingency. No more inspections because the seller already provided them ahead of time. But with the condition of the property really bad my buyer, could not or would not budge on the no additional inspections. And oh by the way, of course, the seller was not going to make any repairs.

So the answer to the first question of \"how\'s the real estate market doing?\" I guess you can say it\'s going back to normal. Meaning multiple offers, short to no contingencies and shorter days on market.

As for the second question of \"is now a good time to buy?\" we will tackle that question on the next video next week.

That\'s our real estate update for this June. If you would like an update for your specific city please comment below and I will send that to you.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Join us tomorrow as we talk about ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Unit).
Justin Farrell with RLFC Construction will be my guest.
Justin will share with us the basics of building an ADU.

What is an ADU or a JADU? The California Department of Housing and Community Development defines ADU as

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) have been known by many names: granny flats, in-law units, backyard cottages, secondary units and more. No matter what you call them, ADUs are an innovative, affordable, effective option for adding much-needed housing in California. HCD is the state’s leader on local ADU ordinances, which — while optional — have grown exponentially in number as more cities, counties, and homeowners become interested in ADUs as one solution to increasing the supply of affordable housing.

Why build an ADU or the benefits of ADU?
-ADUs are an affordable type of home to construct in California because they do not require paying -for land, major new infrastructure, structured parking, or elevators.
-ADUs can provide a source of income for homeowners.
-ADUs are built with cost-effective wood frame construction, which is significantly less costly than homes in new multifamily infill buildings.
-ADUs allow extended families to be near one another while maintaining privacy.
-ADUs can provide as much living space as many newly-built apartments and condominiums, and they’re suited well for couples, small families, friends, young people, and seniors.
-ADUs give homeowners the flexibility to share independent living areas with family members and others, allowing seniors to age in place as they require more care.

What are JADUs?
Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs) are allowed to be created within the walls of a proposed or existing single-family residence and shall contain no more than 500 square feet. JADUs offer additional housing options. They may share central systems, contain a basic kitchen utilizing small plug-in appliances, may share a bathroom with the primary dwelling, all to reduce development costs. JADUs present no additional stress on utility services or infrastructure because they simply repurpose existing space within the residence and do not expand the dwellings planned occupancy.

In this video, we will talk about:
1. How to check if you can build an ADU?
2. Why build an ADU?
3. How to get started?

The new legislation took into effect this January 2020. It standardized ADU regulations throughout the state of California. Allows the home owner one ADU or JADU or both. If the ADU is under 800 square feet there are no lot coverage requirement.

Other recent updates to state laws for ADUs
Effective January 1, 2019

As of January 1, 2019, homeowners who created accessory dwelling units (ADUs) without the required building permits may have the opportunity to bring their ADUs into compliance. For ADUs that were constructed without building permits, local building officials now have the option to inspect an ADU and apply the building standards that were in effect at the time the unit was constructed. This bill: SB 1226 (Bates), adds Section 17958.12 to the California Health and Safety Code Opens in New Window , and with application of appropriate building codes, may allow issuance of a building permit for the residential unit.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[The title of this video is \"Is it good to buy a house right now? Fair question right. I mean with everything going on, the virus, the shutdown, the economic downturn, a lot of buyers have put their home search on hold, yet others, others have not.

Hi guys, if you\'re new to the channel, my name is Mac Rogers. I\'m a real estate broker here in Castro Valley, CA. I do real estate market updates as well as real estate tips for both buyers and sellers. If you would like to follow or like the info, please click the subscribe or like button.

There\'s a new report out done by a company called Showing Time that shows that, there was a nationwide drop in showing traffic in eight months as the country responded to the coronavirus. That shouldn\'t be a surprise. However, that same report showed that early April numbers shows signs of an upswing.

Now you would think \"Why would home buyers be setting appointments to look at prospective homes when the process of purchasing a home has become more difficult with shelter-in-place orders throughout the country right?\"

Well there are three main reasons that we can see:

Number 1. People still need to move. Whatever the reason, death in the family, a new birth, divorce, financial hardship, or a job transfer, there are people or families that needs to make a move as quickly as possible.

Number 2. I like this one. We, meaning real estate agents have adjusted to the needs of the market and have been innovative with utilizing technology that allows purchasers to virtually:

*View homes.
*Meet with mortgage professionals.

Basically still be able to consult with their agent throughout the process. All this being done with safety on top of the list!!!

Number 3. This is where buyers are taking advantage of current mortgage rates. They understand that this a key component when determining their monthly mortgage payments. Mortgage interest rates are still very close to all-time lows.

Take a look at the chart. You can see the difference in savings with the current mortgage rates that we have. This amount actually gets much bigger in the expensive housing market that we have here in the bay area. Whether it\'s in the peninsula, silicon valley or here in the east bay like Castro Valley, Hayward and the rest of the bay.

I am surprised at the resilience of this market as more and more buyers are starting to accept that what we are going through right now maybe the new normal and chose not to wait.

There are many families that are choosing to wait and postpone their plans to purchase a home. I get it. Nothing wrong with that. But if you are one of those that started looking before this crazy virus hit us and would like to see if you can take advantage of the less competition, the great rates, reach out to us.

We have a buyers guide that will help guide you through the process. It\'s FREE. And it\'s a great resource to have whether you are just starting your search or restarting.

My name is Mac Rogers with Albert Rogers Realty. We are here to help. Stay safe.

With over thirty-three million people unemployed, we went from one of the longest and prosperous economic times to the fastest decline in history! How painful and how deep the situation is felt by so many families right now.

Take a look at the weekly unemployment filing. The following chart gives you a picture of what is going on.
Look at he numbers from March all the way to the beginning of May.

On the next chart you see the percentage of all unemployed by category.

Again no surprise here. With restaurants being shut down you see that bartenders and servers making a bulk of the unemployed.

As you go down the line you see retail and temporary services at around 10%. The rest of the industries getting affected around 6% and so on.

Now a lot of these lost jobs should return once we restart the economy. Take a look at this next chart.

We can focus on the negative and say that we have a 15% unemployment right now or we can look at this as 85% of the workforce is still employed. I am not making light of what is happening to people losing their jobs but merely pointing out a fact.

Here\'s another fact, 90% of those surveyed that was unemployed, they responded that their situation is temporary. Meaning that they expect to be back to work.

So the question that I keep getting asked is this, with all these things going on, when will real estate prices go down?

The short answer is probably not anytime soon. And here\'s the reason why.

Take a look at the next pie chart. As you can see 42.1% of homes right now are mortgage free! That\'s a big percentage of homeowners that own their home free and clear. And if you go down the line you see that a majority of homeowners have equity in their homes.

58% of all homes have atleast 60% equity! Homeowners are sitting on average $177,000 in equity. No one would walk away from that.

I think people that are thinking that this is another repeat of 2008 really have to take this into consideration. Last time, a lot of homeonwers had negative equity in their homes and that\'s why they were walking away and that\'s why prices plummeted.

This is definitely not the same situation.

So how fast can we recover or how long will this last and how deep will this recession be?

The bright spot on this is that most financial institutions are not projecting this to be a long recession. Most of these institutions are calling for the economy to be back by the third quarter.

Goldman Sachs projects that from a 15% unemployment, that number goes back down to 6% then to 8% as we head into next year. And then around 4% till about 2023. Still not where we were before the pandemic but definitely more manageable.

Comparing this to how long it took to get back to work during the Great Recession (9 years long) and the Great Depression (12 years long), this definitely is something we can look forward to.

This is most likely of very little comfort to families that are affected coupled with uncertainty surrounding our health. Yet, we can be hopeful that this virus will soon be contained and then, we can slowly and safely and surely return to work.

Let me end this with this. I heard a saying, \"if you will doubt something, doubt your limits.\"

Stay safe and have a great day and happy

It was bad. This coronavirus has caused two big crises right now.

<title >What Type Of Economic Recovery? Is it V? U? L? #brokermac</title>

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Now the question that I have been getting is how long are we going to be in a recession or what type of recovery are we going to have.

As you all know this pandemic has put many businesses on hold as we grapple with how to address the situation and also deciding on when and what the best strategy is to slowly and safely reopen our economy.

Which begs the question: how long will it take for us to get back to where we were or some semblance of a normal business climate?

If you\'ve been watching my videos, I\'ve said in the past videos that most economists are looking at a V-shaped recovery. This is a very steep decline followed by a sharp recovery. According to past pandemics and how the economy reacted after a pandemic, this is what most economists are expecting to happen.

Basically the thinking is that this was a planned shut-down of the economy. The pandemic was the unknown factor that caused it but the economy that was just humming along was just put on hold. So logic dictates that once we go back to work, we restart the economy back.

Take a look at the following chart. This was what most financial institutions are forecasting.

Basically Q2 is where we hit bottom and Q3 and Q4 we have the bounce.

Now obviously there are other possibilities for the type of recovery that we might have and here are 2 others I want to bring to your attention because we\'ve had a bit of shift in some economists thinking.

We talked about V-shape recovery, then there\'s a U-shape recovery. A U-shaped recovery is when the decline is more gradual, and then the recovery that follows starts off moderately and then picks up speed. 
This could be a 12-24-month period.

Then there\'s a the L-shape recovery. An L-shaped recovery is a steep economic decline followed by a long period of no growth or just sideways. This is what happened when we had the housing crash. Recovery took several years.

Now there are several other types of recoveries and we won\'t get into that here. I\'m not an economist nor do we have the time to talk about all the \"letters\" that represent the different types of recovery.

Obviously no one can say for sure what we are looking at. As a matter of fact, there\'s a new poll done by Reuters, they asked 45 US and European economists what they think the type of recovery we will see and a majority of them (around 49%) said it will be U-shaped and 22% said it was V-shaped.

The difference in opinion is most likely because we never experienced something like this before. It is extremely difficult to forecast and project and compare to previous economic events because now, analysts have to incorporate three different sciences into their equation.

The first is business science. This is looking at past economic data and then seeing how the economy reacted to the event and seeing if the current event fits the pattern.

The second thing that now they have to incorporate to the their models is health science. When will we have this coronavirus (COVID-19) under control or have a vaccine? Will there be a second wave as other doctors and scientist are warning? We don\'t have an answer to this.

The third is social science. How will people react? How long will it take for us Americans to feel normal again. What will normal going to look like?

Business science, we have that answer. We\'ve gone through past events like this before. An external event that caused the economy to go into a sharp decline. Think 9-11. That was an external force that was unforeseen.

I remember back then we had several months where people were jittery. The worry of flying. Or other types of terrorist attacks.

Then the government instituted all these safety measures, like stricter screenings before flying, or the planes cockpit being totally secure now. And know it has just become a part of life. It\'s the new normal. Long TSA lines, removing shoes, jewelry etc. We got used to it.

What we have in front of us now is a virus, that does not have a vaccine yet, we don\'t have total control and as far as I know, limited testing.

How Americans react or go back to normal is all predicated on controlling the virus. My thought is that once we have a vaccine or other solutions to it, that\'s the time we start seeing Americans going back to their normal routine.

If you are thinking of buying a home, this may well be a good time because there will be less competition, prices might soften a bit, although I have not totally seen that happen.

Now, if you\'re thinking of selling, here\'s the good news, before we went into this situation, inventory was low. So that is still the case as some sellers are now continuing to just wait and see, so if there is a need for you to sell prices are still strong. It maybe not be the same as before but definitely still good.]]></itunes:summary>

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Our company have been using a lot of digital tools and technology prior to all this happening so it\'s not like we needed to reinvent the wheel or come-up with a new plan to market your home. Let me just highlight some of what we do here.

First we use Matterport virtual tours to digitally capture a 3D image of your home. Here\'s what we can do with this technology. First is a dollhouse view of your house. Your house is rendered digitally to look like a dollhouse and the buyers can point, click and rotate to any part of the house to see it in detail. With a dollhouse view you can give the buyer the big picture of the your house.

From the dollhouse view a buyer can go into inside view. And this is what I really love about this technology because the buyer can virtually walk into the front door and have an immersive experience of the space as if they were walking room to room. What I like doing is having two screens open like my iPad and laptop together and one screen is in the inside view and me going room to room and the other screen on dollhouse view or the next feature floor plan view.

The floor plan view gives your buyer a birds eye view of the space so you can easily understand how the home is layed out.

There are several other features like an actual floor plan layout with measurements, the ability to tag anywhere if you wanted to highlight some features, this is truly a must and no longer just a novelty.

Next is Video. Video. Video and more video. We have a videographer to come in and take a video of the entire home and highlight the key features that buyers would want to see. We also do a drone video of the house and the neighborhood. From the streets to the park and any other amenity that we need to highlight for the buyers. 

And of course we still have amazing photos, dedicated websites and open house. Virtual open house. This is when we schedule an actual virtual open house that buyers sign up to join and we answer any questions that might come up just like a regular open house.

Now we can do all these and all the other things but its pointless if we can\'t get your house in front of the right audience.

Did you know that 95% of homebuyers start their search online and 76% use social media and yet, only 16% of agents use social media in their marketing strategy. Now if you thought that\'s bad, this is worse, only 1% of agents are using social media correctly.

What I mean by this is that their posting it on their Facebook page or Instagram but who is seeing those post? Their mom, grandma & grandpa. Very limited. they might even be boosting their post and again are actual interested homebuyers seeing it?

Think of it this way, you can advertise your home in the middle of Times Square in New York and thousands of people can see it but is that where your prospective buyer will be? Most likely not.

We run highly targeted paid ad campaigns. You see, Facebook and these other social media companies make their money with advertising. So they won\'t just show a post to everyone in the platform for free.

So we don\'t just post and pay to advertise cause again that would be pointless. We target our ads to buyers and retarget it to buyers that has expressed interest or similar characteristics that matches.

This is the same technology that Amazon, Google, Nike and other fortune 500 companies use to market their goods. You know when you search online for a pair of shoes and then all of a sudden you start seeing those shoes and other shoe advertisement everywhere. I know it\'s annoying but when you are on the other side and you need to sell something, you need to be infront of the buyers that expressed interest.

So the answer to the question, can you still sell your house during this time is YES? It\'s not only feasible but also doable. We have the tools, the technology, but most of all the strategy to get your house in front of buyers.

If that is you today, give us a call or send us a message and we will schedule a virtual pre-listing consultation with you.

In this ever changing times, our first priority is safety. So please be safe out there and pretty soon this will be a distant memory. Have a great day.]]></itunes:summary>

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[This is our last video in our series, selling your home during a pandemic or getting ready to sell after a pandemic.

We are in the middle of all these craziness right now but at the end of the day when everything gets back to normal, whatever that looks like you may still need to sell your house. So I created this video series to make sure you are ready when the time comes and you need to act.

This is Mac with Albert Rogers Realty here in Castro Valley, CA.

Our first video dealt with safety. In the second video we talked about the outside of the home. The third video we talked about knowing the market. The forth video we talked about inside of your house. Fifth video we covered negotiations. In this last video we will talk about certified turn key property.

What do I mean by that? You\'ve heard of a Certified Pre-Owned Car right? Did you know that research shows that they sell for around 13% more than cars that aren’t?

Well, selling a certified turn-key home is very similar. 
It consists of getting all of the inspections done ahead of time. Making sure all the health and safety items are fixed, as well as all section 1 Termite work, which includes dry rot, leaks and of course termites.

It also includes a Home Warranty which is a huge protection for the buyer and the seller. The home is professionally cleaned prior to the buyer moving in.

This is essential when selling a home because it does a few things for the seller. The seller has much more assurance that they will actually “net” what it is that they thought when going into escrow.

It gives them peace of mind that the buyer won’t ask for any unreasonable or outlandish repairs. It also cuts down on inspection time frames and it is more likely the home will close escrow on time.

As a seller it also gives you more confidence if you have a replacement property to purchase and need every penny out of your sale to secure and close on your new purchase. 

Also the buyer is more confident that they are buying a sound home that is in move in ready condition. If there is bank financing on the property, some loan programs require health and safety as well as Section 1 termite work to be completed prior to closing escrow so with that already being completed, there is further assurance that the loan will go through.

To wrap it up, selling a certified turn-key home gives the seller, buyer and lender more confidence throughout the entire transaction.

I hope you enjoyed this 6 part video series and have gotten useful information out of the series. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call or click on the link below and we can schedule a virtual pre-listing consultation.

I\'m Mac with Albert Rogers Realty. Have a great day. Stay safe.]]></itunes:summary>

It consists of getting all of the inspections done ahead of time. Making sure all the health and safety items are fixed, as well as all section 1 Termite work, which includes dry rot, leaks and of course termites.

It also includes a Home Warranty which is a huge protection for the buyer and the seller. The home is professionally cleaned prior to the buyer moving in.

This is essential when selling a home because it does a few things for the seller. The seller has much more assurance that they will actually “net” what it is that they thought when going into escrow.

It gives them peace of mind that the buyer won’t ask for any unreasonable or outlandish repairs. It also cuts down on inspection time frames and it is more likely the home will close escrow on time.

As a seller it also gives you more confidence if you have a replacement property to purchase and need every penny out of your sale to secure and close on your new purchase. 

Also the buyer is more confident that they are buying a sound home that is in move in ready condition. If there is bank financing on the property, some loan programs require health and safety as well as Section 1 termite work to be completed prior to closing escrow so with that already being completed, there is further assurance that the loan will go through.

To wrap it up, selling a certified turn-key home gives the seller, buyer and lender more confidence throughout the entire transaction.

I hope you enjoyed this 6 part video series and have gotten useful information out of the series. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call or click on the link below and we can schedule a virtual pre-listing consultation.

I\'m Mac with Albert Rogers Realty. Have a great day. Stay safe.]]></description>

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[We started this video series of selling your home during a pandemic or after a pandemic with a video on safety. Then we talked about the exterior of the home, then it was tactics or marketing, then inside the home. Now we go into negotiations.

This is Mac with Albert Rogers Realty here in Castro Valley, CA.

After an event like a pandemic, terrorist attack, recession, whatever is going on the goal is the same if you are thinking of selling your home. That is you want to make sure you get top dollar for your house. This video series is for you. Watch just one or watch them all. Our aim is to get you ready when the time comes to sell.

After being in business for 18 years and negotiating a fair number of contracts, I can say with confidence that I know what would move the needle during negotiations.

Here\'s one that splits agents right in the middle. The first offer is usually the best offer. Here\'s my response to this. It is market dependent, depends on the offer and depends on you the seller.

Let\'s unpack this a little bit. In our current market climate if you get an offer for your property right now and that buyer is a solid buyer, most likely I would be advising you to consider. Last year, I will tell you to wait.

Also it depends on the offer, if the offer was too good to past on, then it would make sense to accept. I\'m talking about price, terms etc.

What about time frames? Always tighten up time frames and contingencies if possible. This puts more pressure on everyone but at least you can adjust when needed. 

Deposits is another area where you can get a gauge of the buyers motivation and financial viability. While it doesn\'t really matter in the end, always get a higher deposit initially so that the buyer has more skin in the game.

Negotiation around valuation. This was problematic when prices kept on rising. You get offers way above asking but then when appraisal becomes an issue you are faced with new negotiations and just over all feeling that you lost out on something.

Now more than ever, setting the right value for your home could mean staying on the market or getting showings and being sold in your time frame.

Digging deeper and doing background research on the buyer. Getting their pre-approval and proof of funds is just the start. Talking to their lender and making sure that the lender has underwritten their clients is a must. I was once a mortgage broker so I know when a loan officer is not only experienced but I also know by their responses if they have a full picture of their clients. In other words, I know what questions to ask.

Listen, I can go on for hours about all of the things that you as a seller need to be concerned about when negotiating and countering offers. We will make sure that you see the whole picture so that when we negotiate your decisions are based on facts and not emotions.

Thanks for watching. See you on the next video.]]></itunes:summary>

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Hey guys this is an update to my video yesterday regarding the new proposal for more stimulus money in addition to the CARES Act.

I will also include an update on forbearance as there\'s some news in that front as well.

I\'m Mac with Albert Rogers Realty. I\'m a real estate broker here in Castro Valley CA. If you are new to this channel, or just stumbled on it I regularly give real estate market updates as well as other financial market updates that may affect real estate. More so now that we have this pandemic as things are changing rapidly. If you want to be updated click subscribe like and follow.

Anyway, on my video yesterday I mentioned that the PPP or payroll protection program and EIDL or economic injury disaster loan was all used up and that there was a proposal to replenish it. Well good news.

It just passed the U.S. Senate. The House is expected to take up the measure later this week.

Under the new proposal the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) will receive $310 billion in new cash, while the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) fund will receive an additional $50 billion.
 
The bill sets aside $60 billion of PPP funding exclusively for small and medium-sized community banks.

The Senate bill also contains $25 billion for coronavirus testing and $75 billion for hospitals. So good news on that front.

Now on forbearance, I also did a video on this when it first came out as well as an update on how some lenders were administering the program.

Basically the initial reports that I heard from some clients and people in the industry was that their lender were granting forbearance of up to three months, six months or twelve months and then at the end of the period all the pass due payments whether that was 3-6 or 12 months, the whole amount was due and payable.

Well that doesn\'t necessarily help if you were affected by COVID-19 right?

Now the issue with this is that servicers, the company that you send your monthly mortgage payment to still has to send money to the bond holder or investor holding your mortgage note, regardless of whether they receive payment or not. So if you don\'t pay for twelve months, they are still paying out twelve months to bond holders.

If you can imagine thousands of home owners requesting for forbearance, obviously these servicers will run out of money right away.

The servicers have been requesting help from the government so that they can accommodate all the forbearance requests due to covid-19.

What that basically meant was they need money to pay the bond holders and this is also the reason why servicers were granting forbearance and then saying we need to get paid in full at the end of the period because they need liquidity. It\'s not that they dont want to help. 

Here\'s the good news. Aren\'t you just thankful that you clicked on this video. I\'m just bringing you all good news!

All kidding aside as of today , the FHFA (Federal Housing Finance Agency) they are the one overseeing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, they stepped in to help servicers who collect payments on loans that are backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. 

Now the thing is, they are not actually providing liquidity or money to do this, if you want to read the full story its on the housing wire website. It goes into more detail about how this whole thing should transpire.

The jist is that basically FHFA told the servisers that they are only obligated to pay the investors or bond holders up to four months for loans that are in forbearance.

Now what does this mean for Joe & Jane Smith the consumer, right? Well this means that now under the new policy, servicers will not be required to pay the bond holders on the fifth month of missed payments for loans in forbearance.

So theoretically this change in policy should now create better options than what is being currently offered by lenders/servicers because on the fifth month, if you are still are affected by COVID-19 and miss your payment again, the servisers are not on the hook to pay the bond holders. So hopefully this starts helping out struggling home owners affected by COVID-19

I would also remind you to please make sure you are talking to your lender/servicer and making sure you understand what it is that they are offering you.

If you have additional questions about mortgage forbearance, please call me directly or comment below. 

If you have any questions or need help with figuring out what or how this coronovirus pandemic is affecting your homes value, please comment below or reach out to us.

Have a great day and stay safe.]]></itunes:summary>

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Hello, this is my video series on selling your home during a pandemic. We started with safety and then we talked about the exterior of the home and the last video was about tactics or marketing. Now we go inside the house.

This is Mac with Albert Rogers Realty here in Castro Valley, CA.

Pandemic, terrorist attack, recession, whatever is going on the goal is the same if you are thinking of selling your home. Get you the price that you want at the terms that you want? This video series is to educate and inform you of the secrets, hacks, and tricks that top producing agents don’t tell their competitors.

Let\'s start with the smell test. Will your home pass the test? Can you sell your home for top dollar right now? Or, do you need to do a few things to make sure you get top dollar?

Have you done the 3 D’s: declutter, depersonalized and deep clean? And I mean, real deep cleaning, baseboards, scuff marks, cleaned up the landscape, changed out old light bulbs and more.

Are the walls painted a neutral color? Have you patched holes, painted the front door and trim? Mismatched paint because you have a personality does not qualify selling for top dollar, at least not in this market.

How\'s the carpet? Can you still clean them? After cleaning do they still look the same? This isn’t going to cut it to get top dollar. Bigger items that you might want to think about are flooring, counter tops, cabinets bathrooms etc.

Let\'s get back to the smell test. You probably don\'t realize this, but did you know most people have a “smell to their home” yes, a smell.

This could be a lot of things. It could be because of pets, the type of food you cook, smoking or your old furniture. Whatever it is you want to make sure that before you put it on the market that it\'s taken care of.

When we bought our house there was a very very strong smell of spice that was all over the house. The drapes the carpets. As a matter of fact when the inspector opened one of the kitchen cabinets, his head snapped back from the strong smell. No exaggeration.

I had to ask my wife several times if she can handle that or fix it and make it go away because I could not stand it. I\'m here to tell you most buyers are not like my wife. Most buyers can\'t even see pass a wall that is painted neon green.

Next is staging. Have you ever gone to a new home community and checked out new homes? Have you ever wondered why builders who\'s main business is to sell homes, spend literally thousands of dollars for a designer to stage the home that they sell?

Again this is where my exposure to various different types of homes come in handy. We can partially stage or fully stage your home depending on your furniture to ensure it shows to the best of its ability

So I challenge you, take the quiz from a scale of 1 to 10, is your house ready to market and sell for top dollar, or if you need to make a few changes. 

Most of us have to make changes, if I were to sell my house, I’d have a long list of things to do.]]></itunes:summary>

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[The final March numbers are in. The numbers for the first half of March was as expected totally different from the second half of March after everyone was in shelter-in-place mode.
***
With all the things that has been going around, I\'ve been doing these update videos pretty much at least 3 times a week. The one update that I forgot to do was the March real estate market update with the numbers or the stats.

Let\'s go big picture first. Statewide the March numbers were down 11.5% from the previous month of February. And down 6.1% compared to March of 2019.

The median home price was $612,440 up 5.6% from February and up 3.6% compared to March 2019.

Lets go to our region, the east bay.
The number of properties that were temporarily withdrawn in the first half of March was 46. The second half of March that number jumped to 275.

Same thing with the cancelled listings. From 63 the first half of March to 153 in the second half of March.

Now let\'s go to the number of homes for sale. Let\'s start in the 880 Corridor. As you can see on this chart, all the cities had double digit declines compared to last March. With 6 cities declining 50% or more.

Home prices was a little different. It still up because the demand during the beginning of March was still up.

The number of homes sold was down everywhere with Newark as the only city that was positive.

Lets check out West Contra Costa.
Same story with the number of homes for sale. As you can see from the chart, all double digit declines. Hercules & San Pablo down more than 60%.

Sales price still mostly up. Again this reflects the strong demand from the beginning of March. San Pablo was up 20%.

The number of homes sold was mostly down except for Hercules unchanged and Pinole up 25%.

In Central Contra Costa the number of homes for sale all down except for Pleasant Hill. Declines were all in the double digits as well.

No surprise, the sales prices were all still up. Almost double digits for all.

The number of homes sold was all down double digits except for the lone bright spot. Pleasant Hill. It was up 40%!

In LAMORINDA, it was the same story. The number of homes for sale all significantly down.

The sales prices were mixed with Orinda on the positive side. Up 28% to almost $2,000,000.

The number of homes sold, also mixed with Moraga on the positive column.

In the tri-valley, the same story with number of homes for sale. Check out these high numbers.

Prices were still up with the exception of Pleasanton down 2%. Again this is a reflection of the high demand during the beginning of March.

The number of homes sold was quite mix for the tri-valley as you can see from the chart. Danville was actually up a big 40%.

And lastly let\'s check the Delta communities. You guessed it. The number of homes for sale all down. All significantly down by double digits.

The sales prices were a mixed bag. With a couple of cities like Disco Bay & Pittsburg up 10% & 9% respectively.

Same thing with the number of homes sold. Fairly mixed with Pittsburg posting the biggest decline at 26%.

And finally let\'s look at a comparison of the number of pending home sales in March. As you can see from this chart. ALL down double digits.

From this its not hard to figure out, April numbers will most likely be continuing to trend down.

I Hope you guys found this info useful. If you are thinking of selling please check out my video series on how to sell during this pandemic or reach out to us and we can give you a through market analysis of your property and how the value is being affected by this coronavirus pandemic.

With all the things that has been going around, I\'ve been doing these update videos pretty much at least 3 times a week. The one update that I forgot to do was the March real estate market update with the numbers or the stats.

Let\'s go big picture first. Statewide the March numbers were down 11.5% from the previous month of February. And down 6.1% compared to March of 2019.

The median home price was $612,440 up 5.6% from February and up 3.6% compared to March 2019.

Lets go to our region, the east bay.
The number of properties that were temporarily withdrawn in the first half of March was 46. The second half of March that number jumped to 275.

Same thing with the cancelled listings. From 63 the first half of March to 153 in the second half of March.

Now let\'s go to the number of homes for sale. Let\'s start in the 880 Corridor. As you can see on this chart, all the cities had double digit declines compared to last March. With 6 cities declining 50% or more.

Home prices was a little different. It still up because the demand during the beginning of March was still up.

The number of homes sold was down everywhere with Newark as the only city that was positive.

Lets check out West Contra Costa.
Same story with the number of homes for sale. As you can see from the chart, all double digit declines. Hercules & San Pablo down more than 60%.

Sales price still mostly up. Again this reflects the strong demand from the beginning of March. San Pablo was up 20%.

The number of homes sold was mostly down except for Hercules unchanged and Pinole up 25%.

In Central Contra Costa the number of homes for sale all down except for Pleasant Hill. Declines were all in the double digits as well.

No surprise, the sales prices were all still up. Almost double digits for all.

The number of homes sold was all down double digits except for the lone bright spot. Pleasant Hill. It was up 40%!

In LAMORINDA, it was the same story. The number of homes for sale all significantly down.

The sales prices were mixed with Orinda on the positive side. Up 28% to almost $2,000,000.

The number of homes sold, also mixed with Moraga on the positive column.

In the tri-valley, the same story with number of homes for sale. Check out these high numbers.

Prices were still up with the exception of Pleasanton down 2%. Again this is a reflection of the high demand during the beginning of March.

The number of homes sold was quite mix for the tri-valley as you can see from the chart. Danville was actually up a big 40%.

And lastly let\'s check the Delta communities. You guessed it. The number of homes for sale all down. All significantly down by double digits.

The sales prices were a mixed bag. With a couple of cities like Disco Bay & Pittsburg up 10% & 9% respectively.

Same thing with the number of homes sold. Fairly mixed with Pittsburg posting the biggest decline at 26%.

And finally let\'s look at a comparison of the number of pending home sales in March. As you can see from this chart. ALL down double digits.

From this its not hard to figure out, April numbers will most likely be continuing to trend down.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Many are asking right now, are we headed for another housing crisis just like 2008? It\'s logical to ask since the devastation being caused by COVID-19 is being felt all over the world. Make no mistake about it, we are in a recession right now. Not only the US but the whole world.

Hey guys this is Mac with Albert Rogers Realty, here in Castro Valley CA.

During the 2008 housing crisis or Great Recession, many experienced financial hardships, lost homes, and lost their jobs. Here\'s a very important point I want to make. It was housing and mortgage that started that financial crisis event. What we are facing today is different. The shutdown of our economy is due to the coronovirus. This is an external health crisis.

Let\'s compare 2008 and our current situation and see what is different.

Here are 5 key points I want to highlight.

Number 1 is Appreciation.
Check the following graph. Compare the six years leading up to the crash and compare it with the six years leading up to where we are right now. The rate of appreciation prior to the crash was double of what we have been experiencing in the last six years. Even our 2017 number which was our highest appreciation that is lower than the lowest number before the housing crisis. Yes home prices keeps going up but not like back then.

Second point is Access to credit.
This is another very important distinction. Back in the mid 2000s underwriting guidelines was loose. It is not an understatement to say that anyone breathing and has a social security number can and did get a mortgage. Didn\'t mater if you could afford it. If you applied, there was a lender that would lend to you. Look at the following graph. This is the \"Mortgage Credit Availability Index\". It is used by the Mortgage Bankers Association. It\'s a gauge on how difficult it is to secure a loan. Basically the higher the index, the easier it is to get a loan; the lower the index, the harder it is. If you notice we are nowhere near the levels like back prior to the housing crash. This actually caused lenders to tightened their lending standards today so we don\'t get a repeat of 2008.

Third point I want to make is inventory or the Number of Homes for Sale.
Back in 2008 there was a flood of inventory for sale. That is not the case today. There is not enough homes for people who want to buy. Check out the our current levels compared to 2008. How tight is inventory? Even in markets across the country where it is relatively easier to buy a home, those markets are also experiencing low inventory.

Here\'s point number 4 and one of my favorite. How home owners used their home equity.
Now what do I mean by this? Prior to 2008 crash, home owners were doing cash-out refinances. A cash-out refinance is when a home owner say bought their house for $500,000 and then it appreciated say to $850,000. They would refinance their current loan and would get a portion of the equity as a cash out. Say originally they owed $400,000, on the cash-out refinance they would now owe $680,000. They now have $170,000 in cash burning in their pockets.

A majority of home owners spent this money on luxury items such as expensive cars, boats, lavish vacations etc. Look this is not an indictment or a shaming of how people use their money. I am merely pointing out how and what home owners were doing then compared to know. This is not the case today as this chart shows. I think most home owners have learned that their homes are not virtual ATMs that you can cash-out anytime you want. And by all indication people that are cashing out are not using it to finance their lifestyles. 

Which brings us to my fifth point. There is gold and them houses. Or as we call it Home Equity.
In 2008 it was easier to walk away from houses because the homes were literally worthless. What the homeowners owed on the house was usually way more that what it was worth. That\'s why we had a flood of short sales and foreclosures. Today its a very different picture. With 53.8% of homes across the country having at least 50% equity, how can anyone walk away from that? You would literally be giving away money.

Look, the challenge we are facing right now is very different from 2008. You can call it COVID-19, coronavirus, what ever you call it, its a health crisis and not a housing one. Housing is in a strong position and may very well be the one that helps us get out of this downturn.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[We are in the middle of all these craziness right now but at the end of the day when everything gets back to normal, whatever that looks like you may still need to sell your house. I created this video series so you are ready when the time comes and you need to act.

This is Mac with Albert Rogers Realty here in Castro Valley, CA.

Pandemic, terrorist attack, recession, whatever is going on the goal is the same if you are thinking of selling your home. That is you want to make sure you get top dollar and aren’t stressed out from mistakes that can happen when hiring an inexperienced, unqualified, or discount broker, who by the way can’t offer enough value so the only way they can earn your business is by cutting their commission.

This video series is for you. Watch just one or watch them all, we are going to educate and inform you of the secrets, hacks, and tricks that top producing agents don’t tell their competitors. 

For this first video we will tackle safety. The question is…what can you do to minimize risk of exposure, while selling your home during this pandemic?

Here are a few ways to apply safety precautions and minimize risk, to all parties. Please always follow our government\'s instructions.

Using tools and strategies that allow buyers to view your home, virtually, is more important now than ever. Here are a few examples…

Display as much as possible…Video home tours, 3D floor plans, and ample amount of professional photos that include drone photography of the grounds and neighborhood are just a few great ways to paint a clear picture of your home.

Disclose everything…seller’s disclosure, pre-inspection reports, HOA documentation and any other pertinent information regarding the property, should be made readily available to the buyer and attached to the MLS listing.

Virtual marketing on steroids.
In addition to the basic syndication to various online sources, such as Zillow, Realtor.com, etc… and basic social media postings…my unique digital marketing strategy also includes paid ad campaigns designed to target & market potential buyers that have completed searches or displayed behavior that relate to the unique features of your home.

This information and these strategies will help attract and hone in on buyers that have a true interest in your home. Once we’ve attracted the right buyer, we can ensure that we are only showing to serious buyers by adding a requirement of not only requiring a copy of a pre-approval and proof of funds, prior to showing, but also a conversation with their lender to make sure that the buyer is strong and has undergone full underwriting…and we can, further, prepare for showings by having hand sanitizer, asking everyone to wear gloves and mask and placing notices in strategic places throughout your home, to encourage and remind shoppers to be mindful of what they touch and remain sanitized.

Selling a home during a pandemic will certainly have its challenges....but, by applying safety precautions and making the most of our disruptive digital marketing strategy and modern world technology…it is still feasible to sell and minimize risk in the process.

So, if you need to sell…or looking for more info to just get it ready give me a call or click on the link below to set up a virtual pre-listing consultation.

I’m Mac Rogers, broker/owner of Albert Rogers Realty and I’m here to provide you, with a smarter approach to real estate. Stay safe.]]></itunes:summary>

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Hi Guys it\'s Mac with Albert Rogers here in Castro Valley, CA. I wanted to share with you the latest unemployment numbers and the latest projections and also a couple of quotes from two financial experts. That I found interesting and also can give us an insight of what to expect in the coming months for real estate and the economy as w whole.

The last unemployment numbers saw ten million Americans lost their jobs over a 2 week period. On May 8th, we will see the latest round of numbers and it is expected to be in the double digits. The coronovirus (COVID-19) has the economy to a screeching halt. Everyone is feeling the financial toll.

The government passed the CARES Act to find ways to assist and help as many people, small businesses and companies to keep our economy going.

Here\'s a quote from James Bullard, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

“This is a planned, organized partial shutdown of the U.S. economy in the second quarter. The overall goal is to keep everyone, households and businesses, whole.”

Even though this shutdown is planned, the uncertainty of when we can go back to normal is striking fear in a lot of people.

Add to this the concern of how badly will the U.S. economy be damaged if people are forced to sell their homes or can\'t buy homes. This undoubtedly could put a another strain in the economy which could lead to even more job losses. Housing is not only a necessity but also a major part of the overall economy in this country.

Chris Herbert, Managing Director of the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University, also chimed and addressed the toll this crisis will have on our nation, explaining:

“Housing is a foundational element of every person’s well-being. And with nearly a fifth of US gross domestic product rooted in housing-related expenditures, it is also critical to the well-being of our broader economy.”

Its logical to think that there is a direct correlation between unemployment and housing. Unemployment goes down, home sales go up and vice versa.

Recent data however shows that this is not the case in the last thirty years. Check out this graph.

The unemployment rate was rising between 1992-1993, yet home sales increased.

Same thing in 2001-2003. The unemployment rate was rising between 2001-2003, and home sales increased.

In the last housing crash it the unemployment rate was rising between 2007-2010, and home sales significantly decreased.

This recent boom we have the unemployment rate was falling continuously between 2015-2019, and home sales remained relatively flat.

So from this data there doesn\'t seem to be a direct correlation.

But what about this time around? Could it go hand in hand? We have not seen job losses the way it is happening right now. How fast we went from one of the lowest unemployment numbers to where projections are headed has not been seen in almost one hundred years.

Goldman Sachs is projecting unemployment to be 15% in the third quarter of this year but flattening to single digits by the fourth quarter, and then just over 6% percent by the fourth quarter of 2021. Higher were we were when this whole thing happened but definitely manageable.

Some are starting to compare what we will go through as something similar to the great depression and more recently the great recession.

Here are the numbers comparing those two financial crisis compared to what we are currently going through as well as the Goldman Sachs projections.

SO what\'s the bottom line? Given what we know historically and what the expert projections will be it is certain that we will face a housing market challenge this year. Another thing that could also derail housing is access to credit.

However with the passage of the CARES Act and hopefully other types of help down the road available to those who have lost their jobs and the fact that once we solve this virus problem, the housing industry should be fine in the long term.

****
FREE MONEY??? Small Business Owners, listen up this could apply to you. There is HOPE and Financial HELP available to you. I wanted to let you know about some programs that are out there to help support all of us through this trying time.

Please note, I am not an Attorney, CPA, or an SBA specialist, you need to verify all of this information. I am just relaying the information provided to me by my trusted adviser.

With the passage of the CARES Act last Friday afternoon, there is finally some relief for small business owners. While the bill is 1,000+ (One Thousand Plus) pages there are two key provisions that we want to make sure you are aware of as soon as possible.

They are both SBA related and should help most small business owners. The SBA is offering an Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL). This is a $10K loan advance that will not have to be repaid as long as it is used for economic relief due to COVID-19.

The SBA has streamlined the application process so it can all be done online and only takes about ten minutes. The Online application link should be in the description below.

According to my CPA in addition to the $10,000 (Ten Thousand Dollars available to you up front, you can apply for up to $2Million in additional funding.

The rate of these loans will not exceed 4% and can be spread over 30 years. Currently, the only portion of this loan that will be waived or forgiven is the initial $10,000 and of course this could be subject to change, so be sure to look into all the details.

The second loan offering is called the Payroll Protection Program (PPP) and have a component of the loan that can be forgiven. Congress has allocated $349 billion to this loan offering. These loans are considered SBA 7(a) loans and are applied for directly through your bank or credit union.

Here is a brief synopsis of this loan program. Any business with 500 or fewer employees. The business does not have to be shut down completely or partially. Any business that applies is presumed to need the loan and will get it. The only underwriting standards are the company was in business on February 15, 2020 and had employees for whom it paid salaries and payroll taxes.

These loans are non-recourse, meaning no personal guarantees or liens on business assets. The maximum loan you can receive will equal 2.5 times your average “payroll costs” during the 1-year period before the loan is taken. The portion of the loan that can be forgiven is equal to the sum of the employer’s:
(A) Payroll costs
(B) Interest (not principal) on any business debts that were incurred prior to February 15, 2020
(C) Rent
(D) Utilities, including electricity, gas, water, transportation, telephone and internet access .

These types of items that can be forgiven which are incurred during the 8 week period that begins on the origination date of the 7(a) loan. Please share this video with anyone who is a small business owner, it may be a local professional, ice cream shop, a candy store, a shirt maker, a Real Estate agent or a Lender.

If you’re a small business owner and you qualify there is hope. I hope this was helpful and again, I”m not an attorney, a CPA or an accountant so you’ll need to do your own due diligence.

This is Mac Rogers with Albert Rogers Realty. As always, make it a great day.]]></itunes:summary>

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Hi guys it\'s Mac with Albert Rogers Realty here in Castro Valley CA. Here with a market update. Crazy time right now. My family is staying safe and trying to stay sane.

Its April 1st and boy don\'t we all wish that this virus was one big joke.

Back in mid February the talk was what could derail this longest bull market that we have in history. Unemployment was very low. Interest rates were in check and productivity was high.

Then boom we got hit by this thing that no one could have seen coming. I mean if someone told me that the whole world would be stopping and would put everyone on the edge, I would ask you what are you smoking?
Brother.
or sister.

So real estate. One of America\'s favorite pastime. What is going on?? At the beginning of March, the real estate market was just humming along. Rates were low and buyers were falling all over themselves with the lack of inventory. We were poised or headed for another amazing year!

We came to a screeching halt when shelter-in-place was announced. Basically there was no showings, no open houses, you couldn\'t do anything.

Then everybody started asking if we are going to see 2007-2008 all over again. Uncertainty, fear, panic. Buyers just stopped looking at houses. Foot traffic and request for showings went down. Not completely but significantly down.

There are still buyers out there. I don\'t want you to think that everything stopped. As a matter of fact I have 2 buyers in contract and one listing pending. BUT the activity is no where near where it should be right now for this time of the year.

The numbers for March is not out yet but I don\'t think it will be that bad since work stoppage didn\'t happen until mid March.

But going forward. April will be dismal. So what now? Are we going to see real estate crash 2.0? First of all this is not a repeat of 2007-2008. There is no excess lending or lax underwriting. What is fueling this real estate market is demand and lack of supply.

2nd is that homeowners are not in debt right now. Meaning they have equity. Before the market crashed in 2008 homeowners were cashing out on the equity of their homes like crazy. It was like a virtual none stop ATM. When the music stopped, they didn\'t have any incentive to keep or sell the house because there was no equity. They simply walked away.

So what do you do now if you are a buyer or a seller? Let\'s start with a buyer. If you are a buyer and you feel confident about your situation, there are probably some homes that you might be able to snatch-up right now without any competition. Specially if the neighborhood that you want is very competitive.

If you are on the fence, you might just want to be ready so that once this thing gets straighten out, you are ready to act.

For sellers, if your home is already on the market, you have to balance what you want to accomplish along with your safety and the safety of others. Showings are discouraged right now. What we have been doing at Albert Rogers Realty that now everyone else is catching up to is virtual showings, videos, 3D tours, floors plans etc.

If you want to know more about our Disruptive Digital Marketing, how we put your home in front of thousands of buyers, I will put a link to that video in the description below.

Let\'s continue with sellers. If the home is vacant, it\'s probably ok to put it out there since there are no people inside. I wouldn\'t be concerned too much if it sits on the market since everybody is aware of what\'s going on.

If its occupied and you are thinking of going on the market I would be more cautious. At this point in time there\'s very little activity so it\'s not like you will be missing out on anything. Unless you want to price your property super attractive, I doubt that you will get the traffic you want to get and the offer that you want.

Here\'s the deal. So long as we have this shelter-in-place and limitations on showings, we are bound to stay like this for awhile. As of right now that is until the end of April depending on where you are.

This would probably be the best time to start working on the house and just like the buyers, make sure that your home is ready when its go time. What I see happening is that once it\'s go time, there will be more inventory with the current inventory we have plus new homes coming in. But that would probably be a short term thing.

That\'s where we are and where we will be most likely for the next 60 to 90 days. Once everyone calms down, we should see it back to where we were. By all indications this is not a real estate meltdown.

If you have any questions or comments, whether you are a buyer or a seller, please don\'t hesitate to ask. We want to make sure that you are informed before making one of the biggest decision in your life.

I hope you and your family is staying safe. We can only get through this by helping each other and acting in a rational manner. God bless you and your family.]]></itunes:summary>

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[This is a follow-up to my mortgage relief or mortgage forbearance video the other day. Things change so fast so if you want to be updated with what\'s going on, please like,share, subscribe and follow.

I\'m Mac with Albert Rogers Realty here in Castro Valley CA.

We are talking about mortgage forbearance where in you and your lender agree to allow you to skip monthly mortgage payments if you are affected by Covid-19.

So I\'ve heard from some people that has reached out to their lender and asked about the relief programs or options.

It\'s not that good. One of the options I heard being offered is that you skip 90 days and after 90 days your 4th month plus the last 90 days are due. Well if you are going through hardship this doesnt really help at all right?

Another option that I heard was that they were offered to pay half of their current mortgage for 90 days and again on the 4th month the balance is due. So pretty much the same option.

These 2 options are definitely not viable option if you asked me. I\'m reminded of the mortgage melt down when President Bush announced that there is help for homeowners. That was a lot of lip service.

You see in that instance and this one, the banks are not required to do anything. So it\'s not like the Feds or the state told the lenders hey you need to do this and this is how you are going to do it!

The lenders pledged to helped. And its up to them to come-up with their programs. Now the question is what\'s the next step if you are affected by COVID-19 if these programs are not helpful.

Continue to talk to your lender because we are just at the early stages and hopefully or more than likely they may come up with a program that makes sense.

You maybe wondering why this is the way it is? Well you see your lender or servicer that\'s collecting your monthly mortgage payments has to turn around and pay the note holder or investor that owns that investment. So the banks, even if they wanted to not charge you anything, they still need to pay the investors.

Unless the FEDs come-up with something that will give the banks the ability to pay their investors while at the same time not collecting on the mortgage, then we are stuck with this conundrum.

Again things are moving so fast so quick that by the time you watch this video things have changed so be vigilant. Keep contacting your lender. Contact your local representative too put pressure on the lenders.

If you have any questions or comments please don\'t hesitate to reach out. Have a great day.]]></itunes:summary>

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[There\'s been talk of a mortgage relief program or mortgage forbearance. I\'ve gotten calls from my clients asking about it. It\'s pretty new and there\'s little information about it so far. I\'ll tell you what I know so that you can have an idea if this is something you need to pursue or how to pursue. I\'ll also give you an update on what the experts are talking about as far as where we are headed.

Thank you for watching this video. I\'m Mac with Albert Rogers Realty here in Castro Valley CA.

Quick caveat. Things are moving and changing rapidly. By the time you watch this things might have changed already so be sure to subscribe, like and follow so you can get updates.

With this thing that is going on right now, it\'s really wrecking havoc on our economy and disrupting our lives. Everything is pretty much on hold or on pause right now.

Still on hold as long as this gets fixed right away. Back in mid February, the talk was, what could derail this longest and unprecedented bull market that we have.

This quickly became the quickest decline ever in history. And the unfortunate thing about this is that it cannot be quantified or modeled. Fear, the behavior and sentiment of the population is what is moving this market. The good news is that it does not move the markets in the long run but can certainly over power it like we see today.

The consensus is that this is not the worse thing that can happen to us but certainly can plan for it.

Congress has put together a stimulus package to reverse or slow down our decline and also alleviate the fear that most people are going through right now.

The one thing that has been talked about is a mortgage relieve or forbearance. Part of it is also a moratorium on foreclosures.

As I mentioned it is so new that there\'s not a lot known about it so far.

Let\'s start with what a mortgage forbearance is.

This is an agreement between a mortgage lender and the borrower in which the lender agrees not to exercise its legal right to foreclose on a mortgage and the borrower agrees to a mortgage plan that will, over a certain time period, bring the borrower current on his or her mortgage. Something like this was being done back in 2008 in the form of loan modifications.

Homeowners that have been impacted by the coronavirus who have lost income or their jobs can be eligible to have their mortgage payments reduced or suspended. The talk is up to 90 days but I\'m hearing up to 1 year as well. Now obviously it all depends on their particular circumstances.

Here\'s a very important thing to note, don\'t just stop making your mortgage payments. You need to contact your lender and make sure that you document this agreement. This is a deferral program NOT forgiveness. 

Some of the things that are being discussed as far as how to handle the missed payments, payments be made at the end of the life of the loan and there would be no interest accrued on the deferred amount, certainly lump sum payments have been discussed as well. Again they are saying 90 days or up-to 12 months for the forbearance period.

Another thing being discussed is the streamlined process of getting this done. The last time lenders were modifying loans, borrowers were being asked to document everything. This time around they want to make it easier.

Another good thing about this is that your credit should not be affected if you get into an agreement with your lender. Your lender cannot report or should not be reporting your missed mortgage payments to the credit bureaus. 

So talk to your lender. Be prepared to wait not just minutes but hours. I will update this information as soon as it becomes available to us. Be sure to like, subscribe and follow so you get notified.

So now where does this leave us? Is real estate going to implode like the last time? The experts are not forecasting that right now. 

When the equity markets go haywire like this, capital tends to go into tangible assets. You know like gold or in this case real estate. Stocks can go to zero and you are left holding nothing while gold and real estate are tangible.

What\'s happening right now is different from the 2001 tech crash or the 2008 mortgage melt down because there are two external forces that are affecting the markets. The coronavirus and the Saudis going up against the Russians and flooding the oil market and driving prices down.

These are temporary shocks unlike the tech crash, there was excess valuation of companies with no earnings to show for or the mortgage meltdown where there was lax underwriting and there was an excess of consumer debt. Consumers were cashing out like crazy and using their homes like it was a virtual ATM.

The consensus is that we still end up with positive growth once this virus is sorted out. We will sort this out. It will be painful. We all have to pull together and help each other. This is a wake-up call.

It\'s pretty new and there\'s little information about it so far. I\'ll tell you what I know so that you can have an idea if this is something you need to pursue or how to pursue. I\'ll also give you an update on what the experts are talking about as far as where we are headed.

Thank you for watching this video. I\'m Mac with Albert Rogers Realty here in Castro Valley CA.

Quick caveat. Things are moving and changing rapidly. By the time you watch this things might have changed already so be sure to subscribe, like and follow so you can get updates.

With this thing that is going on right now, it\'s really wrecking havoc on our economy and disrupting our lives. Everything is pretty much on hold or on pause right now.

Still on hold as long as this gets fixed right away. Back in mid February, the talk was, what could derail this longest and unprecedented bull market that we have.

This quickly became the quickest decline ever in history. And the unfortunate thing about this is that it cannot be quantified or modeled. Fear, the behavior and sentiment of the population is what is moving this market. The good news is that it does not move the markets in the long run but can certainly over power it like we see today.

The consensus is that this is not the worse thing that can happen to us but certainly can plan for it.

Congress has put together a stimulus package to reverse or slow down our decline and also alleviate the fear that most people are going through right now.

The one thing that has been talked about is a mortgage relieve or forbearance. Part of it is also a moratorium on foreclosures.

As I mentioned it is so new that there\'s not a lot known about it so far.

Let\'s start with what a mortgage forbearance is.

This is an agreement between a mortgage lender and the borrower in which the lender agrees not to exercise its legal right to foreclose on a mortgage and the borrower agrees to a mortgage plan that will, over a certain time period, bring the borrower current on his or her mortgage. Something like this was being done back in 2008 in the form of loan modifications.

Homeowners that have been impacted by the coronavirus who have lost income or their jobs can be eligible to have their mortgage payments reduced or suspended. The talk is up to 90 days but I\'m hearing up to 1 year as well. Now obviously it all depends on their particular circumstances.

Here\'s a very important thing to note, don\'t just stop making your mortgage payments. You need to contact your lender and make sure that you document this agreement. This is a deferral program NOT forgiveness. 

Some of the things that are being discussed as far as how to handle the missed payments, payments be made at the end of the life of the loan and there would be no interest accrued on the deferred amount, certainly lump sum payments have been discussed as well. Again they are saying 90 days or up-to 12 months for the forbearance period.

Another thing being discussed is the streamlined process of getting this done. The last time lenders were modifying loans, borrowers were being asked to document everything. This time around they want to make it easier.

Another good thing about this is that your credit should not be affected if you get into an agreement with your lender. Your lender cannot report or should not be reporting your missed mortgage payments to the credit bureaus. 

So talk to your lender. Be prepared to wait not just minutes but hours. I will update this information as soon as it becomes available to us. Be sure to like, subscribe and follow so you get notified.

So now where does this leave us? Is real estate going to implode like the last time? The experts are not forecasting that right now. 

When the equity markets go haywire like this, capital tends to go into tangible assets. You know like gold or in this case real estate. Stocks can go to zero and you are left holding nothing while gold and real estate are tangible.

What\'s happening right now is different from the 2001 tech crash or the 2008 mortgage melt down because there are two external forces that are affecting the markets. The coronavirus and the Saudis going up against the Russians and flooding the oil market and driving prices down.

These are temporary shocks unlike the tech crash, there was excess valuation of companies with no earnings to show for or the mortgage meltdown where there was lax underwriting and there was an excess of consumer debt. Consumers were cashing out like crazy and using their homes like it was a virtual ATM.

The consensus is that we still end up with positive growth once this virus is sorted out. We will sort this out. It will be painful. We all have to pull together and help each other. This is a wake-up call.

Stay safe. God bless us all.]]></description>

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Do you remember back when we were kids coming back on the first day of school? So excited to tell everyone what you did over the summer. Where you went. Who you met.

So I was thinking about this and how it kind of related to what is going on right now.

When I thought about that, I made a decision: I am not going to spend the next few weeks or months or however long it is whining and complaining, being freaked out or feeling bummed.

I’m not trying to minimize what’s going on. This coronavirus thing is serious, and it will have an impact on all of our businesses, finances, and personal lives. It is what it is. We can’t make it go away and we can’t stick our heads in the sand and pretend it’s not happening.
That said, we can totally choose how we respond to what’s going on.

We can be our best selves or our smallest selves. We can grow or shrink. 

We’ve all faced tough times before, but you know what? I can honestly say that, as hard as those times were, I grew stronger and better and learned huge lessons because of them. The decisions and choices I made during those times shaped who I am today.

Let\'s put things in perspective. You know the saying. You have lemons? Make lemonade.

First of all if you are watching this your probably not even in the front lines of the fight. Think of the people that\'s working like crazy taking care of the sick people while making sure that they dont get sick themselves and then most likely turn around back home and take care of their own family. To you guys thank you and please take care of yourselves.

Second, you\'ve probably been saving to yourself for so long how you do not have time to do this, to do that, well guess what??? Here it is!

Another note on time, a lot of us are always complaining about not having enough sleep rest etc, again, there you go. You have that time now. Use it wisely.

Look do you want to be the guy or gal that comes back to the office and tell everyone how miserable you were. How you hated that the kids just ran around or worse not doing anything, how bored you were? How crazy the news was.

Or do you want to be the one that tells everyone how you just freakin rearranged every nook and cranny in your home because you watched this Marie person and you found the joy in your stuff again.

Or here\'s another novel idea, help out other people, call and have meaningful conversations. Guess what, people are just waiting to hear from you because they are probably scared, freaked out or not doing anything.

Think of it this way, summer is almost over and you know that your teacher will make you write that essay, \"What I Did During the Coronavirus Pandemic.” Will your essay be an A paper or toilet paper? You still have time to make the better choice.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Hi guys, its Mac broker/owner of Albert Rogers Realty here in Castro Valley CA.

Back with your March 2020 real estate market update. We are moving into the end of the first quarter. So what is going in the Castro Valley real estate market since the beginning of the year compared to last year.

So right now as of this video, March 1st, according to the multiple listing service or MLS there\'s 22 single family homes for sale in Castro Valley. Last year at this time there 26. The average days on the market is 30 which is virtually unchanged from last year\'s 29 days.

The median home price is up significantly to $977,745 compared to $915,000 last year. Why is it up? Buyer demand right now is through the roof.

I feel like Bill Murray in Groundhog day cause it seems like I keep repeating the same thing over and over. And that is inventory is low and buyer demand is high. As a matter of fact, if you have seen my previous market update I have already mentioned how this year started off with the lowest inventory that we have seen in recent years.

Multiple offers is still the norm. I wrote one offer for $103,000 over the asking price and we were not even in the top 5 of offers. That was insane.

By know what ever conceptions people may have about the real estate market slowing down, well you know it\'s not happening.

To illustrate this further, according to an economist at realtor.com \"Inventory is falling—even in the easiest markets to buy a home\". Think about that for a moment.

Inventory is falling—even in the easiest markets to buy a home.

I got a news flash for you, none of these places can be found in California, let alone the bay area. As a matter of fact the number 1 hardest place to buy a home? San Jose CA. Right behind it is the city by the bay. San Francisco. Every other city in between them gets to benefit or suffer depending on how you look at it.

So what actions steps can you take if you were a buyer?BUYERS!!! Listen up! The number one thing to do right now is get fully approved with your lender. Meaning an actual underwriter has seen all your income documentation and reviewed them.

I have a lot more buyers tips like this that I can cover in another video. If you want to know more tips like this now request my FREE home buyers guide by sending us a message below. This buyers guide will give you a leg up on the competition. It will help give you an overview of the home buying process and gives you tips on what to do, what not to do and what to expect during the process.

Home sellers. Does this mean you can just throw any number when you are ready to sell? Well no. Even though there are way more buyers right now willing to pay a premium for homes, they are more selective. There are homes in this hot market that is not selling.

So it is important to know what exactly is selling in your neighborhood, what the condition is and what buyers are looking for. Also how your property is being marketed and how it\'s being marketed is important. Check out or \"disruptive digital marketing\" to find out how we are putting our clients homes in front of thousands of potential qualified buyers there by making sure you get maximum exposure for your property. If you would like a FREE Professional Equity & Market Analysis report, same thing send us a message and we will schedule it with you.

Some other factors that may or may not affect what is going right now is the stock market, the virus and the election. All these are of a concern but it\'s too early to know how people will react. So far I dont see any change.

On a positive note the interest rate has dropped significantly. This is causing more interest in people looking for homes. By the way if you already have a home and your interest rates are in the high 3s, it may be worth your while to explore refinancing. If you need a lender referral we work with some great lenders locally.

If you want to know about your specific city or your specific neighborhood send me a message or comment below and I will get that info to you.

Appreciate you taking the time to watch.]]></itunes:summary>

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[How well do you think it would go if you went to buy Starbucks ordered a salted caramel mocha, my drink of choice, but when they asked you for payment, instead of giving them money, you told the barista, “Let’s not worry about that. I’m good for it. I have great credit, good job and money in the bank” Now, if you wouldn’t do that when buying a cup of coffee, why would you do that when buying a home?

Hi I’m Mac with Albert Rogers Realty here in Castro Valley California.

Believe it or not, I come across would-be home buyers that try to do this all the time. They want to see a property and if I asked them if they are paying cash or they need financing that\'s the response that I would get. I have great credit, good job and money in the bank we will get financing when we see the home that we love. 

Sellers want to know that you have the ability to actually purchase their home, which is why preapproval matters. If you don’t have a preapproval, it’s basically no different from asking the barista to trust you, except you’re buying something much more expensive than a $6 cup of coffee.

But it’s not enough to go on some website and run a mortgage calculator to see if you can afford it or get a generic, unverified prequalification based on nothing more than what you told the internet. A monkey could do that. If you want sellers to take your offer seriously, you need to get your bank statements, credit scores, and tax returns over to a great lender so they can underwrite your loan and give you a solid preapproval.

And not only that, great lenders can guide you and let you know things like your interest rate, down payment, closing costs, loan options, what your monthly payment will be, and what steps you need to take to make your dream of homeownership a reality if you’re not quite there yet.

I can’t stress enough how important this is. Not getting preapproved and working with a great lender will not only make it more difficult for you to compete with other buyers, it could also cost you the home of your dreams.

If you’re in the market to purchase a home and could use some help, I can get you in touch with a great lender and provide you with expert guidance through every aspect of your home purchase. I also have a resource that can help demystify the home buying process. It\'s my Ultimate Home Buyer\'s Guide. Not just any home buyer\'s guide. The Ultimate Home Buyer\'s Guide. My buyer\'s guide will not only give you an overview of the whole buying processes but also gives you the things that you should and should not be doing before and during the home buying process and much more.
Best of all it\'s free! Just send me a DM and I will send it over to you.

I’m Mac with Albert Rogers Realty, and I’m here to provide you with a smarter approach to real estate.]]></itunes:summary>

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[If you saw my last video it was about the national real estate market update. This time around will talk about our local market, the Eastbay. 

This month we’ll look back at residential real estate trends during 2019 and see just how much things have changed.

Let’s start with the big picture.
Lack of homes for sale was driving the real estate markets throughout the East Bay for the last several years. In 2019 the number of homes for sale reached a three-year high in several East Bay regions. That\'s more inventory.

With buyers having more choices this had a direct impact on sales prices. If you take out Lamorinda and the Delta regions, prices actually dropped during 2019 compared with 2018.

Lower prices and more inventory didn’t inspire more home buyers to start shopping. The total number of homes sold in the region dropped to a three-year low during 2019.

Now let’s get local. My main market the 880 Corridor. Almost 600 more homes for sale during 2019. With big increases in Fremont, Newark, Oakland and San Leandro.

Sales prices were all either up or down in the single-digit range – a big change from previous years. Oakland had the biggest price increase. Up 6% but prices in Union City dropped 15%.

Sales along most of the 880 corridor were almost unchanged.

Let’s look at West Contra Costa County. 

There were 100 fewer homes for sale during 2019 which represents a 5 percent drop. Sales prices almost unchanged in this region. The biggest news was the 5 percent increases in Richmond and San Pablo.

With fewer homes for sale, the actual number of homes sold also dropped. Sales were down more than 130 units with the biggest change in Richmond.

On to Central Contra Costa County. About 280 fewer homes for sale for the region with Concord and Martinez losing the most inventory. Sales prices were virtually unchanged from 2018. Prices in Clayton were up 5 percent and up 4 percent in Walnut Creek compared with 2018, but everywhere else it was in the 1 percent up or down range. Home sales also mostly down or flat.

Big jump in homes for sale in Lamorinda – 200 more units. Orinda accounted for more than 100 of those. Even with more inventory, sales prices were up. Lafayette up 17% compared with 2018. Home sales did drop during 2019 about 12% for the entire region.

Now the Tri-Valley. 

Compared with 2018, a lot more homes for sale – more than 900 for the region. More supply, plus years of price appreciation put the brakes on sales prices during year.

Take out Alamo and Danville and prices were actually down in the rest of the Tri-Valley about 3 percent. The number of homes sold also took a hit. Livermore and San Ramon were the only exceptions, with fewer homes sold everywhere else.

The Delta
Pittsburg had about 100 fewer homes for sale. But with almost a thousand homes for sale in Brentwood, there was a net increase in supply for the region. Prices during 2019 up six percent in Antioch, 5 in Brentwood and basically flat in Pittsburg compared with 2018. This combo didn’t help sales. Fewer homes sold in each of the Delta communities.

So what about 2020? The price stability that we started to see in late 2018 and continued in 2019 should also be part of 2020.

Places like Hayward, San Leandro, and Oakland are the areas were there are still homes that are somewhat still affordable. Competition in the lower price or first time home buyers would still be there and more inventory in the higher price or upgrade homes. More so in areas like my hometown of Castro Valley and areas that have great school districts.

If you want to know more about your specific neighborhood send me a message and we will send you your free market report.

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[You know I\'m often asked by people why I became a realtor.

Hi my name is Mac Rogers, I\'m the broker/owner of Albert Rogers Realty here in Castro Valley CA and this is my story.

This all started many years ago when I was working for a clothing company in San Francisco. I worked in the Treasury Department doing trade finance and currency hedging for the company. I hedged anywhere from $100 million to $350 million a month in Italian Lira, French Franc, Deutsche Mark, Sterling Pounds & the Yen. The first 3 are all gone now replaced by the euro.

Whenever I walked into one of our stores I didn\'t feel like I was part of the company because I didn\'t see my work in the clothes that we sell. There was no connection with the end product.

Fast forward several years later and I have already moved into silicon valley working for a tech company. I figured if I wasn\'t happy with what I was doing, maybe getting paid more would make me happy. SPOILER ALERT. It doesn\'t. I started having the same feelings as before.

The company started having layoffs around the time we began exploring buying our first home. By the time we had found a home and were in contract, the company had gone through several rounds of layoffs.

It was during this time that I actually started exploring becoming a realtor. So during the home search and the layoffs, I started studying for my real estate license.

So when it did happen that I got laid-off, I just went full steam with real estate and never looked back. What made me choose real estate was because I felt like with the whole process I see the end product and I get to participate in people\'s experience of buying something that is so important.

I get to be part of one of the biggest and important decisions in their life. I get to be part of the memories that are made in the home. I get to be a part of the wealth creation the home brings. And not in a bragging kind of way but more of a \"thank you that you allowed me to be part of that\". It\'s such an honor.

Whether it\'s that small studio or that fixer upper or in a lot of cases lately, the upgrade to their dream home, the feeling for me is the same. It\'s that feeling of gratefulness that someone trusted me to be part of their piece of the american dream.

Regrets. None but at one point I almost quit. When the real estate market crashed back in 2007 I became one of the top short sale specialists and started to become numb with the whole process of people losing their homes. I was very clinical when I would come into a house and started advising people what to do next because 99% of the time they lost their home.

Until one day I had an appointment and walked into this home in South San Francisco. We sat down at the dining table and at the corner of my eye I saw this little boy go into his room. As I was talking to his parents this boy comes back a little later and says \"mom, dad I\'m ready\".

The look on his face was that of fear and sadness. I was heart broken. These people were losing their homes and to quote the Righteous Brother\'s \"you\'ve lost that loving feeling\".

I learned from that experience and really started trying to find other ways to help home owners keep their homes or just go out with dignity. I was able to help out a number of home owners in the end.

I want to end this by saying this, Whenever I get to represent a buyer or a seller, I know that I am getting entrusted and invited to a part of something special. Something that is a basic human need. Shelter.

If you\'re thinking of buying or selling I would be honored and grateful to represent you and get you to the next step in your life.

My name is Mac Rogers and I\'m a realtor. I\'ll see you at my next open house.]]></itunes:summary>

<title >5 Reasons To Sell This Winter</title>

<itunes:summary ><![CDATA[Here are five compelling reasons to list your house this winter.

Hi I\'m Mac Rogers with Albert Rogers Realty.

1. Demand Is Strong
The latest Buyer Traffic Report from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) shows that buyer demand remains strong throughout the vast majority of the country. These buyers are ready, willing, and able to purchase, and are in the market right now. More often than not, in many areas of the country, multiple buyers are competing with each other to buy the same home. Take advantage of the buyer activity currently in the market.

2. There Is Less Competition Now
Inventory is still under the 6-month supply needed for a normal housing market. This means in the majority of the country, there are not enough homes for sale to satisfy the number of buyers in the market.

Historically, a homeowner would stay an average of six years in his or her home. Since 2011, that number has hovered between nine and ten years. There is a pent-up desire for many homeowners to move as they were unable to sell over the last few years due to a negative equity situation. As home values continue to appreciate, more and more homeowners will be given the freedom to move.

Many homeowners were reluctant to list their homes over the last couple of years, for fear they would not find a home to move into. That is all changing now as more homes come to market at the higher end. The choices buyers have will continue to increase. Don’t wait until additional inventory comes to market before you decide to sell.

3. Buyers Are Serious at This Time of Year
Traditionally, homeowners think about spring as a great time to list their homes, when more buyer traffic may be out there actively searching. In the winter, however, the buyers who are seeking a home – whether for relocation or otherwise – are serious ones. They’re ready to make offers and they’re eager to move, often quickly. Your house may be exactly what they’re looking for, so listing when other potential sellers are holding off may be your best opportunity to shine.

4. There Will Never Be a Better Time to Move Up
If your next move will be into the premium or luxury market, now is the time to move up. There is currently ample inventory for sale at higher price ranges. This means if you’re planning on selling a starter or trade-up home and moving into your dream home, you’ll be able to do that now. Demand for your entry-level home is high, and inventory in the luxury or premium market is too.

According to CoreLogic, prices are projected to appreciate by 5.6% over the next year. If you are moving to a higher-priced home, it will wind up costing you more in raw dollars (both in down payment and in your mortgage) if you wait.

5. It’s Time to Move On With Your Life
Look at the reason you decided to sell in the first place and determine whether it’s worth waiting. Is money more important than being with family? Are you ready to go on with your life the way you think you should?

Only you know the answers to these questions. You have the power to take control of the situation by putting your home on the market this winter. Perhaps the time has come for you and your family to move on and start living the life you desire. That is what is truly important.
