Walnut Creek, CA (PRWEB) December 23, 2011

Bay Area property management company, Stokley Properties Inc. works closely with the real estate community to help their clients make the decision of whether to turn a home into a rental income-producing property. Currently, Stokely Properties is noticing a boost in the Bay Area Rental Homes Market due to lackluster home sales.

“It is important for a property owner to be aware of what the real estate market is going through now so that they can make informed and sound decisions,” Joseph Stokley Jr. of Stokley Properties Inc. said

Homeowners who chose not to sell their properties at depressed prices are deciding to wait it out and turn their homes into rental properties.

“We are seeing this happening more every month. The property owners are taking advantage of a very strong rental market as well,” reported The Contra Costa Times in Oct. 20.

Rents are also climbing sharply in the East Bay as people who were once homeowners look for places to rent after losing their homes to foreclosure or not making their mortgage payments.

Contra Costa County has seen a 7 percent increase since last year and Alameda County has seen an 8.7 percent increase in rents.

Rebecca McDonald of Linwood Real Estate and Property Management has good news for those who thought they could never afford a home in the Bay Area. The San Francisco Peninsula real estate agent has just listed a 1,100 square foot 3 bedroom, 2 bath home in East Palo Alto for the unbelievably low price of $325,000.

The East Palo Alto property, conveniently located near the new Facebook campus, has been beautifully remodeled.

In addition to the granite slab countertops and all new cherry wood cabinets, the kitchen features travertine floors.

Hardwood floors refinished and polished to perfection, fresh paint in every room, recessed lighting, and double-paned windows throughout the entire house make this ready-to-live-in home comfortable. The home, situated on a 5,000 square foot lot, also features a 2-car garage, a new roof and a fireplace in the living room / dining room area.

“Everything is new, new, new-and the neighbors are wonderful,” said Rebecca McDonald, the Linwood Realty real estate agent who has listed the home. “This is a great opportunity for a family or investor.”
