Mountain View Ca Real Estate Market Update 3/2/2013

As a Mountain View Real Estate Agent I am always being asked, "How's the market in Mountain View?" The answer is simple:

Not enough inventory, plenty of buyers.

There are currently 16 single family Mountain View homes for sale, up from 13 last week.

There are currently 15 Mountain View town homes/condos for sale, down from 16 last week.

There are currently 18 pending sales of Mountain View single family homes, down from 21 last week.

There are currently 29 pending sales of Mountain View Town homes/Condos, up from 27 last week.

As of Feb 24, 2013 there were 23 single family Mountain View homes sold ranging in price from $685,000 to $2,165,000.

As of Feb 24, 2013  of 2013 there were 33 Mountain View Town Homes/Condos sold ranging in price from $250,000 to $1,075,000.

These numbers are still low, but a little better than last week. I still expect an increase in inventory, but possibly not till late spring or early summer till we see a significant difference.

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.

Mountain View Market Update, Jan 25th: Single Family Homes

As of today, here's the snapshot of the Mountain View single family home market:

65 active listings

12 pending listings

2 closed sales in the last week

What does this mean? There hasn't been much change since last week. Active listings are up by 3 and pending sales are the same. The ratio of pending to active is still not very healthy with over a 1-4 number, but the sky isn't falling either.

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.

Mountain View Market Update, Jan 17th: Single Family Homes

Today's snapshot of the Mountain View single family home market:

61 active listings

12 pending sales

1 closed sale in last week

What does this mean? Not much has changed since last week. Active listings are down by 2, and pending sales are up 2.  There's really not enough for me to say that the market is turning around, but at least this week it isn't getting worse.

Mountain View Market Update, Jan 9th: Single Family Homes

As of this evening this is a snapshot of the Mountain View single family home market:

63 active listings

10 pending sales 

2 closed sales in the last week

What does this mean? We are probably at the bottom of inventory for a while. The number of homes for sale should increase over the next few months, whether the market is good or bad. Things to watch: is the inventory of homes over 80 active listings? How are the pending sales going? Even if the active sales stay under 70, if the pending sales do not go up to at least 3 active for every pending listing we will see some more price decreases. If we can get up to 3 to 1 we won't see much change in prices. If we go better than 3 to 1 we will 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.

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.

Ten Reasons to Love Mountain View

1. Schools, Schools, Schools! Like Palo Alto, Mountain View has excellent schools. The Whisman School District is renowned for challenging academics that encourage students to reach their highest potential. Several magnet programs are offered throughout the district, including opportunities for dual language immersion. All schools are equipped with cutting-edge technology. Students consistently achieve some of the highest average test scores in the nation. Making the choice to raise your child in Mountain View guarantees a they'll get a good education, and it also reinforces the property value of your home--houses in good school districts are always better investments.
2. Castro Street. This downtown Mountain View centerpiece was designed with leisure in mind--the street is clean and well-lit, with thriving trees everywhere and wide stone benches perfect for quick shopping breaks or enjoying an outdoor lunch. There are a number of bookstores and high-end clothing stores, but the essence of Castro Street is really in the food. Indian-Chinese Fusion, healthy (really!) pizza, Greek, Japanese, Mexican--nearly every cuisine imaginable is represented within six blocks.  I had the best mulligtawny of my life at Godavri, a small Indian gem with intensely flavorful food and great service. Lovely small town feel that's especially romantic at night, when the restaurants prop open their doors and the white lights strung through the trees turn on. 
3. The Best Tennis Courts in Santa Clara County-- Cuesta Park is a giant neighborhood park in Mountain View, with 16 tennis courts and great family bike trails. The courts stay open until 11PM and feature spectator areas and high judge's seats. Everything in the park is well-maintained, and there are bocce ball courts and play areas for kids. Patrolling security guards ensure a family atmosphere, and catching a free concert here in the summertime is a must. 
4. Center for the Performing Arts.  The place to go for dance performances, TheatreWorks productions, children's theatre, and other cultural events. The center is cleverly designed and features state of the art technology. Local artists display their works in the Center's lobby.  
5. Caltrain Station and Light Rail-- Great for commuters and anyone looking to get to nearby San Jose, Palo Alto, or Sunnyvale in a flash. The station has tons of amenities--bicycle lockers and shelters, pay phones, station building with meeting room, and newspaper racks. It's also right in the heart of downtown Mountain View. 
6. San Antonio Shopping Center. Functional plaza with a variety of stores. Target, Craft, Sears, The Milk Pail, Albertson's, Payless, WalMart, a 24 hour gym, and best of all--Trader Joe's. It's the only Trader Joe's around and it's a good-sized store, chocked full of reasonably priced food and wine and Trader Joe's unique products. I love their cookie dough and blueberry museli. The pre-made wraps and sandwiches in the cooler are also a yummy lunchtime option.
7. Diverse Housing Styles and Options. Walking through the residential streets in Mountain View is a visual pleasure--the houses are stylistically interesting, and there are many new homes, cottages, and contemporary style homes. It's also a nice area for buyers looking for alternative housing options. There are a lot of rentals, condos, and town homes in the area. 
8. Bridge School Benefit and Other Concerts at Shoreline Ampitheatre-- The annual Bridge School Benefit is organized by Neil Young and his wife Pegi. Every year I look forward to this one. All the proceeds from the concert go toward the Bridge School, which aids children with physical impairments. The line-ups of musician are always good and varied--last October I saw Tom Waits give a riveting performance with the Kronos Quartet, and there are always some fresh faces from the music scene kicking off the night. The Shoreline Ampitheatre is perfect for this event and other concerts--if you arrive early enough you can get close the stage, and if you come late the deal is almost better. Just spread out a blanket on the grass, uncork a bottle of wine, and enjoy the show. 
9. Doggie Heaven at Shoreline Dog Park-- Two areas--one for big dogs and one for small dogs, and shaded picnic tables for people too! Outside of each area you'll find purel hand sanitizer, paper towels, and poop bags. Water fountains for dogs and people, and close walking distance to downtown. This place is always crowded, so you and your dog will leave with a few new friends.  The owners who take their dogs here are respectful, and if you go in the morning you'll see rake marks in the sandy dog areas--they're cleaned nightly.  
10. Popcorn! Movies! Popcorn! Century Cinemas 16 is a big commercial movie theater that usually plays 13 or so movies at a time. They always run the latest blockbusters and keep some well-reviewed movies around for a while--handy if you miss the opening weekend rush. There's a Starbucks stand inside and every theater has those comfy wide chairs that lean back. But my favorite thing about Century 16 is the popcorn. It comes from the same standard glass case with the popping thing inside, but it's exceptionally good. Even if I'm full from dinner I always cave in to the popcorn when I catch a movie here.
