    Agents try a new tactic! Recently a new phenomenon has appeared in the local real estate market in the tri-valley. Many homes in Livermore and homes for sale in Pleasanton are affected. Several homes have come onto the market at very deep discounts. These are bank owned properties or “REO”s. The asking price is so low that it does not really reflect the true value of the home. For example, a property in Livermore bank owned and 2100 square feet was listed at an asking price of $330,000. The last home similar to it sold and closed for $550,000 one month ago. There currently exists two others similar on the market for the low $500,000s. By listing the property at an artificially low price, the bank and listing Agent aims to get a lot of excitement and activity immediately and therefor... 10/07/2008

Livermore is doing everything right. Looks like the city planners definitely have nailed this one. We meet with friends for dinner at the new Fondue restaurant downtown. I will admit it has been years since I had dinner downtown, but what a change! I mean that in all sincerity. Downtown Livermore development is working, I love the fact that it still has the old town charms with new restaurants gaining foothold. The boutiques are wonderful and it is looking like Livermore has it all. I definitely love the idea of getting out of my car and walking, especially if it also involves shopping. Yes Livermore is happening. I even hear that a new dance studio is coming to downtown Livermore. What? Salsa dance lessons in downtown Livermore? A downtown for years was home to a couple of rock-countr... 02/10/2008
