In Silicon Valley, “we need to celebrate our strengths while continuing to work on our weaknesses.” This was CEO/President of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group Carl Guardino's message to members of the Silicon Valley Association of REALTORS(R) at the Palo Alto District tour meeting today.
Commercial real estate almost always lags the economy, and now, with many long-term leases set to expire soon, Santa Clara County's assessor predicts commercial and industrial property will be the “next shoe to drop.”
The California Association of REALTORS(R) reports the percentage of households that could afford to buy an entry-level home in the state remained at 64 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009, compared with a revised 61 percent for the same period a year ago. However, the first-time buyer affordability index dropped slightly in some regions, including Santa Clara County, indicating the pendulum has started to swing back in some of the higher-end markets in the state.
Members of the Silicon Valley Association of REALTORS(R) would like to remind home buyers that the Worker, Homeownership and Business Assistance Act Of 2009, extending the First-Time Homebuyer Credit and expanding who qualifies, expires on April 30.
With the $8,000 first-time homebuyer and the $6,500 repeat buyer federal tax credit set to expire on April 30, 2010, buyers and sellers still have time to take advantage of what may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
First impression is important for consumers who are in the market to buy a home. In fact, for the third year in a row, the 2009 Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report has found that homeowners get the best return on investment through exterior remodeling projects, according Jeff Bell, president of the Silicon Valley Association of REALTORS(R).
“The housing market in Silicon Valley is doing well because it's Silicon Valley. This area is gold country,” Moise Nahouraii, broker manager of Referral Realty, recently announced to members of the Silicon Valley Association of REALTORS(R).
At Tuesday's Menlo Park/Atherton District's bi-monthly meeting, President and CEO of MLSListings Inc. Jim Harrison gave SILVAR members an overview of how
MLSListings Inc. delivers value as an MLS through its service offerings.
