| Market Commentary Provided by Top Agent As mentioned before, Sellers who are on the market right now should be motivated to sell. Buyers should be educated on the differences between foreclosures, shortsales, and REO properties before they believe that they can get something for nothing. Homes in the east bay are still more expensive than many parts of the state. Buyers should also be prepared to place 20% down on a home unless they are using an FHA program where 5% is still accepted. |
