It has really been a year roller coaster in the Bay Area Real Estate Market through the nine-county Bay Area. We have seen fluctuations in market prices, property values and sales with much confusion emerging especially in the fourth quarter. According to the latest figures released by the fast data services, the market is apparently flat with an average growth of just 0.8% during this period last year. The irony is that in certain areas, properties are receiving multiple offers and in some cases is more than the price sales. There have been reports of several deals in San Francisco and Marin County in particular. Furthermore, there have been reports of properties going to one hundred thousand dollars under market value in Napa and Solano counties. Properties in certain areas of the East Bay have been selling very well as Lafayette, Orinda, and the Montclair District in Oakland, Piedmont and the hills of Berkeley. While in other places like Antioch, Brentwood, Richmond, San Pablo and Bay Point vendors have a hard time giving away properties. It is a very strange phenomenon.

It was not long ago that listed anywhere in the Bay Area were getting multiple offers and in many cases, buyers engaged in bidding wars. Part of the reason for this is that many investors of the stock market were playing in the real game roots in place. Interest rates hit all time lows and many programs were invented to help buyers enter the market with no money down and negative amortization loans. There was even available loan products that reach out to one hundred twenty-five per cent of property value. We saw before our eyes tripling of property values, and even more in some areas during a period of five years. It was a feeding frenzy for mortgage brokers and estate agents who need its own vaults to hold all the money they were doing. The only problem was the default rate of so-called "creative" loans were conservative thinking at best and it was greed and frequent. With most of these loans set to adjust in next three years, one could make a solid guess that it will remain a buyers' market for some time. However, there are many areas in the Area Bay do not appear to be affected by this at all.

The Bay Area is incredibly rich in diversity, not only in the case of cultures and values, but also real estate. We live and work in a very exclusive area with industry, biotechnology, renowned universities, Hi-tech giants, world shipping and a very large economy. It may be easy to forget that there is an incredible amount of wealth and fortune in the Bay Area. Moreover, the housing market over the past six years has been largely fueled by first-time buyers with creative financing. Now we're starting to see why we are seeing a substantial change in the housing market. Areas that are most desirable and prominent are affected much less than areas that have been spurred by first-time buyers. There are other factors to take into consideration such as location, climate, schools and public services. The more desire there is an area of more demand there is for the property. This creates a fairly stable environment for homeowners in the more affluent and less demand less prosperous areas. One thing remains central, money and the rest walking.

We have not yet reached an answer to our main question. It is a buyer or a seller's market? I think a simple answer would be that it is both, depending on location and strategy. Finally, the market will touch fund and investors will come in and pick the big purchase. The demand for housing in the Bay Area's population will continue to exist and continue to grow. There will always be a great demand for housing, because there will never be enough demand to continue building the value of market appreciation over time. With very little land for building on the left, and building permits increasingly difficult to get approved, this will only contribute to increased property Bay areas. If your investment strategy is long term, it's a pretty safe bet that the property in a good location will pay dividends.
