Only reason other places have been down relative to some other places is commute. Remote/Hybrid will equalize those advantages of these traditional areas vs others.
Some areas of Fremont are excellent(Homework to find out where they are). Probably as good or in some cases better as some other places.
Oh wow, even those were selling 2.1M - Seems like market had a big jump this fall alone.
20 Homes Pending in American High, but 0 Active Listings. I think people are getting into FOMO mode with worrying about what the price will be in Spring.
Sold price is too high, given that the house has very small lot size and it is in a community with HOA.
This is the peak of current cycle, due to low inventory and low interest rates. Prices for housing such as this one should drop down below $2M, and perhaps into the 1.5M range by the end of this year if:
Interest rates are higher by 0.5-1%
Stock market is down compared to Dec 2021.
Is it a bad deal for the homebuyer? That, only time will tell. Perhaps in 10-12 years, such houses will be selling for $3.5-4M in which case a long term homeowner would come out ahead. But I think whoever bought this at $2.25M better be prepared to hold it for at least 10 years.
I think we tour this house back in 2013. Looks like they are increasing the price to help with appraisal?
Great return since 2013 - almost 10X return on your downpayment (assuming 20%).
