Its with great pleasure I want  to announce that Realty World Platinum Properties is growing.

This is only due to the referrals that are pouring in from happy and satisfied clients. I want to thank these clients for trusting us to help them through such a huge event in their life.  I also have to thank our hard working Agents and Management who have made this possible.

Because of this growth we needed more space and visibility for our company.  Our new Location is in the heart of downtown Brentwood and gives our clients and partners more access to our office and agents.

This is just the start of great things to come and we are excited to help more and more homeowners and future homeowners in our backyard here in East Contra Costa county.

I encourage you to spread the word and give us the chance to wow you!

Holiday Shopping and Home Prices

Today I took some time just after 3pm to finally finish my Christmas Shopping. I figured I would stop by Sports Chalet and few other stores along the bypass. I have to say I was really surprised that on a Wednesday afternoon I pull into The parking lot at Sports Chalet is packed. The store is busy and lively full of last minute shoppers like myself and store employees ready to help us in any way they can. As i left the parking lot I really took notice to the packed lots along Lone Tree and all the people on the road. It seems like over the last month every time I have had to go store its been packed with holiday shoppers. As I wait in line i see the sales stack up in front of me there is some serious money being spent. This has to be a good sign for our economy. When people are feeling the ability and ease of mind to go out and spend their hard earned income we are on the way to a more normal economy.

The way our economy works relies on so many different factors, index’s and measurements. The biggest indicator for me is to see how consumers spend their money. If we are feeling fear of not being able to pay our bills we save and cut costs. But if we feel we have job security, a bounce in our 401k accounts and a few dollars in our savings, we as a nation go out and spend money. We spend it everywhere and almost on anything. This helps our economy get jumped started again, we need more goods to sale which requires more people to gain new employment or gain more hours at work ending furloughs and creating overtime again.

Seeing all this today just reaffirmed for me today that our economy is resilient and is working thru its issues. This is huge for our area and our home prices. We here in Brentwood were some of the fastest and hardest hit when the Housing Bubble Burst. But over the last 18 months I have watched home prices here in town stabilize and slowly start to rise a bit. Theres less foreclosures on each block, home are being sold generally within 30 days of coming on the market. These are all great things for us. As our home prices stabilize more people are going to feel safe with buy creating more demand. As more banks feel political pressure to work with homeowners and modify or streamline the short sale process we will have less supply.  We all know if we cant supply or demand, a premium is put on things and that increases their prices.

Lets all look around our town and see the pride slowly come back by having a stronger and more stable population that creates jobs here for local business,schools and charities.

So its that time of year. Kids are back in school, the weather is cooling down and people are talking about the holidays.

I look forward to this time each year personally because of the change in weather. Were a bit spoiled living in this area. We get the long warms summers to spend enjoying the awesome  California Delta. Whether its fun in the sun on boat or fishing from the levee the Delta is our Summer home.

Next thing you know its mid October and It seemes like the next day the smell in the air changes, we get  nice moderatley cool days with fresh rain and Fall is finally here. Our Winter playground in the Sierra Nevada’s only a short drive away is being built as I type with fresh white pure snow! I count the days until Heavenly’s lifts start turning and were jumping off with our heart pounding looking for our first run down the slopes of the year

I love were we live!
