Anian Tunney Piedmont CA Real Estate Agent Broker Comments on CAR March Home Sales and Price Report

Anian Tunney Piedmont CA real estate agent broker comments on California Association of Realtors® (CAR) March Home Sales and Price Report which states that California’s median home price posts its highest level in nearly five years as intense competition increases.

Tunney notes that CAR reported strong sales in higher-cost coastal regions and highly competitive market conditions increased California’s median home price to its highest level in March since May 2008. However, inventory shortages continued to stifle the number of homes sold. Statewide inventory dropped 36 percent from March 2012 and was below a three month supply for the second time in the past few months. Supply conditions are especially tight in the lower-priced segment of the market, as inventory for homes priced below $300k decreased more than 50 percent from March 2012. Sunny traditional 121 Ricardo Avenue in the Piedmont School District is offered at $950,000.

Tunney comments that for Alameda County, for existing single family homes, the month-to-month median home price increased 13 percent, and the year-to-year increase was 36 percent. Contra Costa County had the highest month-to month median price increase at 18.6 percent, and not surprisingly, San Francisco County saw the highest year-to-year median home price increase at 64.3 percent. The San Francisco Bay Area saw month-to-month median price increases of 8.8 percent, and year-to-year at 33 percent. The county with the lowest year-to-year median price increase was Napa at 22.6 percent. Stunning Hiller Townhome at 1880 Grand View Drive in Oakland is offered at $895,000.

Tunney states that the historically low inventory levels continue to put strong upward pressure on home sales prices in Piedmont CA. She notes that Piedmont schools continue to be a huge attraction for families to live here. U.S News and World Report rates Piedmont High School as 26th within California, which is higher than Palo Alto High School, ranked 29th and much higher than Cupertino High School, ranked 97th in the state. According to the GreatSchools.org website, Piedmont High School is 916 on the Academic Performance Index, which is above the California average of 751 as reported by the State of California. 87 Sea View Avenue in Piedmont features a stunning foyer with a dramatic circular staircase and is offered at $5,990,000.
