EXQUISITE LIVING SPRING 2013 6
With an influx of cash from the tech industry and international buyers wanting to purchase a piece of thisbeautiful area, it is not uncommon to see multi-million dollar homes sell withindays of being put on the market withmultiple offers and above listing price.
Despite this huge demand, we have not seen inventory increase. In fact, all counties in the Bay Area saw inventory decrease year-over-year andending March with less than one month of inventory. Appropriatelypriced homes are seeing multiple offersand bidding wars which are resulting invery favorable conditions for sellers.
And while this competitive market can seem daunting, potential buyers and sellers shouldn’t be scared away by these current conditions. For many,there is a wealth of opportunity.
