According to the San Mateo Association of Realtors, in January of 2012 there were 1,172 single family homes on market in San Mateo County as compared to January of 2013 there were only 545. This shows that the market has significantly shifted from a buyers market towards a sellers market including a jump in average sales price of 20% for San Mateo County.

“For the past several months I have experienced buyers confronted with multiple offers resulting in homes selling for substantially over listing price.” says Teixeira. “I really feel that the strength of silicon valley and the increase in jobs growth and stability is what we’re seeing reflected in the boost in the mid-peninsula housing market.”

This trend is shown nationally in the SP/Case Shiller composite index’s numbers of their metropolitan survey of 20 cities that show the largest improvement in residential home prices in December since July of 2006 as well as a significant and moral boosting increase in consumer confidence.

Burlingame, CA (PRWEB) October 06, 2011

By definition, a “deficiency judgments” is a court decision against former homeowners when the sale of the house does not sell for enough money to cover the amount owed to the lender. In essence the lender can still hold the seller financial responsible after the close of the sale in attempt to satisfy the remaining balance on a loan. However, in California, all first mortgages on a property of 1 to 4 units are protected from deficiency judgements by Senate Bill 931, (SB931) and Civil Code Procedure 580 (e).

Mary Ann Teixeira says “I hear a lot of fear from homeowners, as they examine choices, they fear that the house may sell but that the debt will live on.”

In many situations where the homeowners are in a short sale or foreclosure the idea of a debt living past the transaction is haunting. Homeowners in danger of this situation need to consult with a professional to find out exactly how this may affect them in the future.

Mary Ann Teixeira has been in the Peninsula real estate market for many years. As such, she has been affected by the local, state and national real estate and economic fluctuations of the last few years. Though it’s been a rough ride, she is starting to see more activity as low home prices and the threat of upcoming changes in lending standards are motivating people to buy or sell.

Real estate prices are relatively affordable, says Teixeira. According to the San Mateo County Association of Realtors sales statistics from the local MLS, the median home price in the City of San Mateo in April 2011 was down $25,000, or 4%, from the same time last year.

Impending changes to real estate lending policies are also affecting the market. As part of Congress’ 2008 stimulus package, jumbo loans were raised to $729,500, but this limit is set to revert back to $625,500 in September. “For those who need to sell a property, this may be the right time to do it,” said Teixeira. “There may be fewer potential buyers come fall.”

“Buyers are taking advantage of their increased buying power and low interest rates,” says Teixeira. “You can’t beat current interest rates, which are hovering at around 5%. And buyers who want to take advantage of jumbo loans are moving now to beat the looming changes coming this fall.”

Burlingame, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) March 30, 2011

While looking for a new home in the Peninsula area it’s important to look beyond just your neighborhood to the cultural and event centers as well, says Mary Ann Teixeira. As a Bay Area REALTOR® and resident Teixeira stays up-to-date and in touch with the plethora of events that take place across the Peninsula.

“People just moving to the area are not always fully aware of the activities that can enrich their lives and expand their cultural awareness. I like to be sure my clients are as informed as possible about all aspects of their relocation especially the opportunities that let them explore the outdoors – like the SF Flower and Garden Show,” said Teixeira.

The 2011 SF Flower Garden Show was held March 23-27th at the San Mateo Event Center. It’s known for bringing the best in gardening, outdoor living, design, and cooking together into a large hands-on event the whole family can enjoy.
