Local Professionals Provide Analysis on the San Francisco Real Estate Market
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) December 03, 2011
Up and coming real estate search website Homes.org recently interviewed agents and other professionals in the San Francisco, CA area to provide their readers with analysis on how that market is performing. Like many other areas in the country, right now in San Francisco, CA “the real estate market is great for buyers with interest rates and pricing so low,” Elisa Uribe, a Realtor® with Wells and Bennett Realtors told Homes.org. A recent report from DataQuick supports Uribe’s statement showing that in October the median sales price dropped slightly compared to the same time last year, however, the number of home sales saw a significant boost of 5.3% in the Greater Bay Area.
A number of publications, including Business Insider and DailyFinance.com, have listed the San Francisco as one of 2011′s best real estate markets. The increased activity suggests that people have taken notice. “Today’s buyer’s include investors and you will start to see more investors enter the market next year,” says Uribe. “And as a buyer you will have to compete against all cash offers so it’s best for buyer’s to get their team in place so when they find the house they are looking to buy, they feel comfortable with the agent and lender representing them.”
