Mountain View Market Update, March 29th: Condo/Town Homes

Mountain View Condo/Townhome Home Market Update 03-29-09

As of today this is the snapshot of the Mountain View condo/town home market:

83 Active listings

27 Pending sales

10 Closed sales this month

What does this mean? There hasn't been an increase in inventory this month, with 83 active listings instead of numbers around the high 60’s. The ratio of pending sales to active listings is holding at about 2.5 to 1. There are 37 listings under $500,000 and 21 pending sales in this price range and only 6 pending sales over 550K--the highest is $629K at the new development Gables End. This is pretty consistent throughout the Bay Area with most of sales happening under 550K.

Sunnyvale Market Update, Jan 21: Condos

Here is today's market update for condos/townhomes in Sunnyvale:

88 active listings

25 pending sales

2 sales in last week

What does this mean? The inventory of active sales is up from 73 last week, with pending sales also up a little--they were at 23 last week. Solds are down slightly, from 4 last week. The ratio of pending to active sales is still between 3-4 to 1, so the change isn't huge. That ratio needs to get a little closer to stabilize prices, but we'll have to see how things go. 16 of the pending sales are for condos less than $500,000, so it is quite obvious that the lower end of the market is doing better than the upper end.

Mountain View Market Update, Jan 17th: Condos and Town Houses

Here's today's snapshot of the condo market in Mountain View--

61 active listings

19 pending sales

2 closed sales in last week

What does this mean? First of all, there's been a huge jump this week in pending sales. Last week there were 58 active sales, and 9 pending sales. The active sales only increased by 3, but pending sales skyrocketed up by 10. Not only that, but we're very close to the 1-3 ratio of active to pending sales that I think will stop the bleeding of home sale price decreases. However, this is only one week--so it's still to early to decide if this is the start of a trend.

Sunnyvale Market Update, Condos: Jan 11th

As of this evening, here is the snapshot look at Sunnyvale's condo/townhome market--

73 active sales

23 pending sales

4 closed sales Jan 2nd 

What does this mean? The inventory is only by 3 since my last report. The active to pending ratios still hold between 3-4. It's still too early to make any predictions on what will happen in the next few months, but here's some clues on what to watch for: if the active listings go above 100 and/or the active/pending ratio gets worse, we will see more declines. If the active to pending ratio gets to 1-3 we will see prices stabilize. If it goes 1-2, we'll see appreciation.

Mountain View Market Update, Jan 10th

As of this morning, this is the snapshot of the Mountain View real estate market--

Single Family Homes:

Active Listings: 57

Pending Sales: 9

Sold Last Week: 1

Condos/ Town Homes:

Active Listings: 57

Pending Sales: 12

Sold Last Week: 4

So what does this mean? Not too much. There wouldn't normally be too many closed sales at the end of the year because of the holidays. The condo market and the single family home market have a similar ratio of pending to active listings, although it is a little better for single family homes. The result may be a little off, however, because there are more new condo/town homes on the market than single family homes, so these numbers are not an exact picture--not every new home in a development is on MLS. The inventory of both classes is shrinking, but that is to be expected as most sellers don't put their homes on the market at this time of year, preferring to wait until after the New Year. I will have a better idea of where the market is going a few weeks into January. If the inventory goes up a lot faster than the pending sales, we will see price declines. If the inventory stays the same and the pending sale rate stays the same, we should have some stability in prices. If the inventory goes down and pending sales stay the same or increase, we could see some appreciation. I will let you know when I think there is a real trend I can put my finger on.

Palo Alto Market Update, Jan 6th: Condos

As of this evening, here is a snapshot of the Palo Alto condo/town home market--

Active Listings: 20

Pending Sales: 5

Sold in Last Week: 1

Sold Details:

2579 Park Blvd. X102: Listed for $639,950 and sold for $630,000

What does this mean? We are probably at the bottom of inventory for a while. The number of condos for sale should increase over the next few months, whether the market is good or bad. Things to watch for: is the inventory of condos over 35 active listings, and how are the pending sales going? Even if the active sales stay under 30, if the pending sales don't rise to at least 2 active for every pending listing we will see some more price decreases. If we can get up to 2 to 1 we won't see much change in the way of prices. If we go better than 2 to 1, we will see appreciation.

Mountain View Market Update, Dec 17th

Mt. View market activity as of this morning--

Single Family Homes--

71 active sales

11 pending sales

2 closed sales in last week

Condos/Town Homes--

65 active sales

17 pending sales

3 closed sales in last week

So the single family home market continues to be very slow in Mountain View. The ratio of 11 pending homes to 71 active sales is similar to last week, with the number of active homes extremely high for Mountain View.

Condo/Town home sales continue to outpace single family home sales. The ration of pending to active is much healthier than the single family homes ratio. There is such a difference between conforming loan rates and jumbo loan rates that it may be why there is so much more activity in the lower costing condo market.  

Palo Alto Market Update--Dec, 8th

As of December 8th, there are 85 single family homes for sale in Palo Alto. 19 homes are under contract for sale, and 3 homes sold in the last week--one of off which sold above asking price.

There are 30 condos and town homes for sale, 4 are under contract for sale, and 2 sold in the last week, neither of which sold over asking price.

What does this mean? Sales are still pretty slow in Palo Alto, but inventory is not excessive. This is a good thing--as long as inventory doesn't skyrocket it means there aren't a lot of homes from which to choose, so prices won't plummet. 

KB Homes Evelyn Glen in Sunnyvale is a Winner!

I have a wonderful client who just closed escrow on a new town home built by KB Homes in Sunnyvale and it is a beauty! This new town home complex is at the corner of Evelyn and Wolf which is less than a mile from vibrant downtown Sunnyvale. The 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath town home has about 1600 sq feet spread across three levels--each featuring gorgeous flooring, beautiful espresso color maple cabinets, and all the bells and whistles of a new home for a price in the mid $600,000 range. There are many new developments to choose from in the Bay Area and I can help you find the one that is best for you.

This development is definitely worth checking out. My client is delighted with his! 

Finding a Home for You and Your Pet

Sometimes, the perfect home for you isn't perfect for your pet. If you're looking for a town home or condo that allows cats and dogs, I can help you.

Animal rules and regulations are set by homeowner associations (HOA's) and vary from one complex to another. If you are planning on purchasing in a complex, you should do some due diligence to make sure that your pets are as welcome as you are. Sometimes the stipulations are a little hard to spot. 

The first place to look is in the CC&R's (covenants, conditions, and restrictions) that are recorded for all complexes. Some of these documents will say that the board of directors is responsible for making rules governing the number and size of animals allowed in the complex, and others will report the rules directly in the CC&R's. 

Even if you find specifications in the CC&R's, it's still important to take a look at the Rules documents, which often cover things like pets, pool rules, and parking rules. Sometimes, complexes will post changes to animal policies in Rules documents, so looking there is a good way to make sure you're up to date. 

Finally, you should speak directly to the management company (or president of the board if the complex is self-managed) to really ensure that your pets will be happy, comfortable, and welcome in your new home.

As a pet lover, I have helped many people and their pets find places to live over the years. If you have a question about where to look for a pet-friendly place to live in the Silicon Valley area and beyond, please feel free to email me directly and I will help you in whatever way I can.

Frequently Asked Questions--Condo Vs. Townhouse... What's the difference?

What's the difference between a 

Condo and a Townhouse? 

Condo and Townhouse are architectural terms. Condos are like apartment buildings--they can have attached neighbors above, below, and at either side. Townhomes are like row houses. They ONLY have attached neighbors on the sides.

Condos and PUD (planned unit development) are both ownership terms. With condos, you own %100 from the unpainted walls of your unit in. You own in common the walls of the building, the land, and any other improvements like pools, laundry rooms, parking areas, etc. If there are 100 units in the building then you own 1/100 of the entire common area of the complex. 

A PUD is a development in which you own your home and the land it is on. You own in common with the other owners any common space, such as the roads, common landscaping, pools, and so forth that may be part of the development. A PUD can be a single family home OR a townhome.
