Still waiting for the Bay Area market to *finally* offer up a deal or two? Here's the headline: It's happening. There are great properties on offer at deep discounts, if you know where to look.
Here's a snapshot of condo price per square foot in San Francisco, going back 10 years.
Things are hovering at numbers comparable to 2017/2018.
Alameda County is similar - the price per square foot is currently comparable to Q1, 2018:
Drilling down further, we're seeing individual properties that are even better values than the overall trend lines would suggest.
Take this mid-century, downtown view condo on the shores of Lake Merritt, which you can purchase today for $67,000 (10%) less than it sold for back in 2015, and $35,000 less than the most recent sale in the building.
Or this luxurious Bay Bridge and water view condo at The Harrison, currently being offered for $588,000 (22%) less than it sold for in 2017.
If smaller buildings are more your thing, here's a charming TIC in prime Noe Valley, listed for $170,000 (10%) less than it sold for in May 2020.
Bottom line: If you're value-minded and you've been sitting on the sidelines waiting to pay less than the folks before you did, the door to your new home is now officially open.
Contact us anytime to talk about how to find that deal you've been waiting for.
