We recommend that you read the recent article on the Pacific Union International Blog entitled, “Home prices, demand on the rise in Lafayette.” In it, you’ll find not only statistics but also commentary by Ellen Anderson, a PUI senior vice president and regional manager for Pacific Union’s Contra Costa County offices.
The latest official statistics are from August but we’ve continued to experience similar real estate market conditions in Lafayette throughout September.
Demand continues to be particularly strong for high-quality “A” properties, as well as older homes with good expansion and renovation potential. Many buyers also are looking to live in walkable neighborhoods close to downtown.
Are you thinking about selling your home? Even with inventory low and demand high, the key to getting top dollar for your home is the “A” property status.
“We have several properties that will be coming on the market in the next few weeks in Lafayette,” says Lafayette’s Top Producing Realtor, Dana Green. “What we’ve learned is that it’s worth taking the time to get the properties ready to go to market in their best condition and staged correctly. That investment in time and money, when matched with appropriate market pricing, pays off with more buyer interest and higher bids.”
