If you are like most Dublin Ranch Condo or Dublin Ranch Home owners you can’t wait for the Promenade in Dublin to break ground. Even if you are a Tri Valley Home buyer you need to look into all the future developments coming to Dublin Ranch. The Promenade in Dublin Ranch will (as stated on the Dublin city website) offer 230,000 square feet of retail, dining, entertainment and office space within the 1,500 acre, master-planned Dublin Ranch community. The project will emphasize a pedestrian-friendly main street with beautiful architecture and charming ambiance and will draw from Tri-Valley residents, out-of-town visitors, and local employees.”

The Promenade in Dublin has been one of the top projects I have seen people searching for.
Here are some of the other projects that will be coming to Dublin Ranch in one form or another.

Grafton Station
Lowes in Dublin
Grafton Plaza
Whole Foods in Dublin
Emerald Place
Fallon Sports Park

Last night I was at Redcoats in Pleasanton with my friend Brian LaBars of Green Mortgage Group and as it normally happens we were talking about the real estate market and the recent rate cut by the Fed of .75. This brings the bank rate from 4.25 down to 3.5. The Fed had a meeting set for the end of the month on the 29th to make an expected cut, but did so early to avoid a recession yesterday. Will we see another cut at the 29th meeting, possibly.
What does this mean for Tri Valley home buyers and people looking to sell their homes? If you are looking to purchase a home, then obviously you have greater borrowing power and for sellers this means the amount of buyers looking at your home has gone up because people are now able to afford more. Not all loans will be effected the same. A 30 year loan will not have the same effect on a borrower from the cut as an ARM will. For more information on different loans and how they are effected, talk to Brian LaBars on how this cut can help you as a buyer or seller.

There are many new Dublin Ranch homes and a lot of development around the Dublin Ranch Condos. From Grafton Station, Lowes in Dublin, the Dublin Ranch golf course and even the new Dublin Ranch schools. This was the main reason I set out to create this short video on what exactly is going on in the Dublin Ranch community.

If you are a Pleasanton home seller, Dublin home seller or any Tri Valley Home seller and are thinking of buying a new home, you may be in luck. New homes in Pleasanton and new home builders in some parts of Dublin are willing to purchase your home so you can purchase one of their new homes in Pleasanton. Other new home communities in San Ramon and Danville may offer this same incentive, but at a cost. From the builder I spoke with they were willing to do so for a fee and did not offer other incentices at purchase, like a rate buydowm, credit towards upgrades, lower price… If you are looking at new homes let the Moxley Team know and we can let you know what new home communities offer. At Alain Pinel Pleasanton and the Moxley Team, we have relationships with certain builders and many times can get better pricing and incentives for our clients. If you are looking at new homes in the Tri Valley, let us know before you enter the show room and we can let you know the other pricing available.

If you follow the stock market then you may have seen that there was an upgrade in the home improvement sector. Not bad news… but is that a sign of the bottom or the bottom approaching? We cant answer that, but it’s good to see that the home improvement sector is improving. Which brings me to another point of why buy a house and the pros and cons of homeownership.

Lets go over the Pros and Cons of the current market and what we can learn.

Pros:
Interest rates – historically low
Supply – you can take your time and choose the best available
Prices – Lower than 3 years ago
Sellers – Some will negotiate till it hurts (not all)
Population – More people live here = more people need a home than 10 years ago
Land – Less available land than 10 years ago and more land being given to the state, county, and cities = higher long term demand
Opportunity – Like stocks, buy low sell high
Appreciation – Average price of a home in Pleasanton in 1990 was $283,600, today over $1,000,000 - Check this chart Tri Valley Homes Chart
Ask your CPA – Tax write off, capital gain exclusion, deductions…

Cons:
Timing – Is it the bottom?
You tell me the other cons to buying a home

What did we learn:
Obviously there are more pros to buying a home, and if you are overly concerned with timing then the following probably does not apply to why you would buy a home. Remember the reasons to buy a home are: pride of homeownership, a place to truly call home for yourself and family, tax write offs and deductions, long term appreciation… See the pros again.

Here are some recourses to help get a little educated. USE THEM!! You will thank us later.

Oak Grove in Pleasanton was recently approved by the Pleasanton City Council for the development of 51 lots on 77 acres with the addition of 496 acres of open space, trails and equestrian paths. Owners of this land, Jennifer and Frederic Lin, filed a suit in Alameda Superior Court against the opponents of the Oak Grove development. This suit filed against opponents of Oak Grove in Pleasanton is in an attempt to stop the efforts of a the group Save Pleasanton Hills lead by former council woman Kay Ayala. The suit states that improper efforts were made in obtaining the nearly 5,225 supporters signatures to force a referendum to overturn the approval of the Oak Grove development. Read more…

I must say I am surprised by the latest stats for Tri Valley homes sales in December. Not because they are low, but because Pleasanton homes sales put market time at under 4 months and San Ramon home sales and Danville home sales had similar numbers. In my opinion these were not bad numbers given the coverage of what some are pointing to the sky falling.

Lets be honest where else can you find amazing schools like San Ramon Schools, Pleasanton Schools, and Dublin and Danville schools, Stoneridge Mall, Promenade at Dublin Ranch, Alameda County Fair, Downtown Pleasanton and Downtown Danville? The answer… not too many other places. I could go on about why Tri Valley homes are so desirable, but I think you get the point. The Tri Valley is a great place and that is why we still see better than average sales figures.

Not too many Pleasanton homes or tri valley homes are sold by auction, but a home in the Jensen Amador Estates of Pleasanton sold for $478,500 by auction. Over 100 people showed up on the day of auction and a starting bid of $299,000 was bid up by about 12 bidders and in the end came down to two people as many auctions do. The Jensen Amador Estates in Pleasanton normally see homes selling or between $550,000 and $650,000 with a few reaching over the $700,000 mark. So who was the winning bidder? Well in this case it was not an investor looking for a fast flip, but someone who plans to stay in the home for some time. Some of the reasons this homeowner chose this location and neighborhood were the proximity to Downtown Pleasanton, great Pleasanton Schools (Alisal Elementary and Amador High School are just minutes away) and ease of commute to both 580 and 680.
