San Francisco Real Estate Market Update for the week of September 16
Read what Rick Turley, President of Coldwell Banker, San Francisco/Peninsula says in his latest weekly report:Though the Fed may have assisted the mortgage crisis a bit with its rate lowering and some policy changes, there haven’t been any significant changes in the San Francisco Bay Area market this past week that can be attributed to anything happening in the latest news. Perception is driving the market. The chasm between buyers and sellers seems to be closing a bit – but not quite enough in some communities.
Buyers are starting to realize that selling prices are not going to drop precipitously from where they are. Sellers, on the other hand, are starting to make the adjustments in condition and price that are necessary to remain competitive. Still, there are some sellers that refuse to lower prices to saleable levels, and buyers who are convinced they’ll be able to get an even better deal by waiting. We are seeing some sellers who don’t need to sell taking their properties off the market – if a deal is to be had, now is the time to negotiate it.
