THERE HAS BEEN A SHARP INCREASE IN SALES ACTIVITY!!!!!    

In this day and age we read the newspaper or watch the TV news and believe that the Real Estate sky is falling.  All the bad news in the world has to be correct if it is published in the newspaper....right?  Well, let me share some information that might help shine a different light on our local Real Estate market.  Compared to a year ago, pending sales in Contra Costa County are up a whopping 41%.  Not only are they up by such a substantial amount, this is the third consecutive month this has happened.  At this point I believe we are experiencing a trend.  Areas such as Danville and Alamo are tracking an even greater increase at 67%.   Now is the time to contact your Real Estate Professional and explore your opportunities.
