This is Why We Have Been Loving Fremont So Long

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.

I actually “discovered” many good neighborhoods and places when I was delivering for Amazon… :laughing:

Lived in the East Bay all my life but never knew all these places existed!

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.

Fremont, the Bay Area’s fourth largest city, differed from its other big city counterparts, rising 2% in 2020, and going up 8% in 2021.

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:

  1. Interest rates are higher by 0.5-1%
  2. 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.

2.2M for what is essentially a townhome? Hope there isn’t buyer remorse later.

32% drop in 1 year? What are you predicting Armageddon? :slight_smile:

@4.7% higher than a similar home sold in Nov 2021.

I think 10-20% drop is more likely because prices overshot by that much last year. Agree that 30+ % drop is excessive and unlikely to happen

20% increase over $100K = $120K
20% decrease over $120K = $96K :smile:

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%).

In spite of being located on a busy main street- Paseo Padre.
