The Pulse Of San Bruno-Karin Cunningham

Bay Area real estate “shake up”!

Can you shake it up anymore in the East Bay right now? What I mean is, I have been showing property to different sets of clients in Pittsburg, Antioch and Hayward and all the homes have 10-20 offers on them! What the heck is going on?? I thought this was a buyer’s market!

Well, what we have observed is the real estate market in those areas have reached rock bottom!

• In Antioch, there are two to eight year old homes listed for $199,000, bank owned REO’s that sell for up to $100,000 over the list price with 10-20 offers.
• In Pittsburg, there are sprawling older ranch style 4 bedroom homes on 12,000 square foot lots listed at $229,000, bank owned REO’s, pending with multiple offers and back ups.
• Hayward has some awesome deals that I don’t even want to think about right now because they are being snatched up so fast!

Now, I live and work in San Bruno and there are:

• 10 houses for sale under $400,000- San Bruno
• 5 houses for sale under $400,000- Daly City
• 17 houses pending in San Bruno, SSF, Pacifica and Daly City UNDER $400,000

Now THAT’S a real estate “shake up” because we haven’t seen activity like this is a few years now!

 

San Bruno Realtor, Karin Cunningham at Your Service!

I learned along time ago, in my waitressing days at the Hyatt Regency in Burlingame, that service with a smile makes all the difference in the world to the consumer. When service industry people like their jobs, it makes a world of difference to the worker, as well! When I switched from waitressing to real estate, it felt like almost the same job, just a different product! When I was serving drinks at the lobby bar at the Hyatt and within a few hours went to our Prudential kiosk at Tanforan, I felt like I was still behind a bar but just serving a different kind of drink! Definately a more expensive one!

Now that I am an experienced real estate agent or Realtor, I am happy to say that choosing real estate was the best career decision I ever made. I have helped people buy and sell homes all over the Bay Area from San Francisco to San Jose and all over the East Bay from Antioch to Fremont. I have enjoyed every minute, every step of the way and I look forward to many more!

I have a family and we have established ourselves in San Bruno, it only made sense to me to become a part of the community as much as possible and carry on those service lessons that I learned at the Hyatt, especially since I love using those skills. I am on the Allen Elementary School PTA, the San Bruno Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, I go to every San Bruno Concert in the Park in August, swimming lessons, baseball games, soccer games, and most recently I am entered in our San Mateo County Association of Realtors arm wrestling contest! Holy Moly! What am I getting myself into!

If you know anyone thinking of buying or selling a home anywhere in San Francisco, the San Mateo Peninsula or East Bay, I hope you will let them know about me, send them to this blog and my website at www.KarinCunningham.com so I can give them the same great service that I speak of today. I look foward to building my business with you and others who are interested!  Thank you!

If you haven’t been to San Bruno’s August concerts in San Bruno Park, then you don’t know what you’re missing! This is a great opportunity to meet San Bruno people, see friend’s from school or the neighborhood, and relax.

 

Children are invited. Families and friends bring dinner or snacks. We lay out big blankets to sit on and enjoy the night away. The weather is always pleasant until the sun goes down so it’s best to bring along some sweatshirts!

San Bruno Homes For Sale!

Hi! I have a few new blogs now www.ActiveRain.com/blogs/kcunningham, www.Realtown.com/karincunningham/blog and of course this one www.SanBrunoLife.wordpress.com. I also contibute to a blog at PruVoices.com for my real estate company.

I know I need some domain names so people can remember them better. I write about San Bruno real estate and homes for sale, San Bruno events and happenings and San Bruno life!

I have a website, too, I almost forgot to mention. www.KarinCunningham.com where one can search for homes in San Francisco, San Mateo County and the East Bay. I have been busier this year than all of last year and the year before with real estate and family. Its all good and the market is picking up steam!

San Bruno now has 20 homes for sale under $500,000! Its pretty remarkable since we haven’t had these prices for almost 2 years now. Check my website to see what I’m talking about. www.KarinCunningham.com

I look forward to serving all of your real estate needs as well as being your San Bruno resource for schools, events, and other inquiries!
