Signs of an Improving Housing Market – 2011 Bay Area Market Reports
Recently, there have been optimistic reports nationwide that indicate there appears to be signs of life out there in the housing market.
My recent experiance is that nice, well priced homes are selling in all areas of the San Francisco Bay Area and many with multiple offers. For example, I represent a client looking in the south bay and the last two homes we have made an offer on have had more than 20 offers each.
Yes, they were in desirable neighborhoods, showed nicely and sold quickly.Also, they were priced at the low end of the market price range to encourage multiple offers.A recent survey of agents nationwide by HouseHunt.com revealed that 65% of agents reported at least one multiple offer situation in the last quarter of 2011.
With that being said, below are the Market Activity Reports for each San Francisco County for 2011:
San Mateo County Market Metrics Report
San Francisco City/County Market Metrics Report
Santa Clara County Market Metric Reports
Santa Cruz County Market Metrics Reports
Alameda County Market Metrics Reports

Of note, available inventory is below 2.5 months in all Bay Area Counties with the lone exception of Santa Cruz County.A balance market is considered 6 months of housing inventory.
