For Buyers
How Is The Market?
The first thing most home buyers want to know is how the market is performing!
Is it a Buyers' Market or a Seller's Market?
What factors are Influencing the Marketplace?
Inventory Is Very Low - A Sellers' Market
Inventory is very low - a Seller's Market. It is expected that inventory will rise through the spring and summer, but prices are expected to rise, as well. So the best time to find the best prices may be now.

Competition For Homes?
Multiple offers are being received for homes in good school districts, entry-level homes, and unique luxury homes.
Fremont tends to have better schools than Hayward, but don't overlook good schools in more affordable areas such as the Arroyo High School district in San Lorenzo!
Prices Are Stable
Prices are starting to move up.
We are starting to see more offers on homes compared to last month.
