Real Estate Trends in Brentwood, CA 94513

2012 Year In Review


This blog caters primarily to people interested in Real Estate Trends throughout the areas I've lived in and continue to service; Walnut Creek, Brentwood, Oakley, and Alamo, California.  However, most of the information posted on this site really applies to all markets.  If you have any questions that the content inspires, please drop me a line.  I'm happy to reply in a timely manner.  If you'd like more specific information about real property in your area, please don't hesitate to ask...

...That's why I'm here.
  


The table below simply illustrates the List Price (LP) and Sale Price (SP) High, Low, Average, and Median for the time spanning 1/1/12 through 12/31/12.  There were 1060 homes sold in Brentwood in 2012.


Compared the above to 2011 (below) there were 1109 homes sold, with a median home price roughly $25,000 lower than in 2012.

Average Sales Price: Shown in Dollars per Square Foot
The graph below illustrates the average cost per square foot of homes sold in Brentwood in 2012, through November.  However, this information doesn't really give prospective buyer and sellers an effective 'rule of thumb' to use in estimating the value of their home.  Home values are a function of several key variables, not just dollars per square foot.  That said, this trend still demonstrates a consistent and noteworthy trend; a strong increase in the value of homes in Brentwood.  

Comprehensive Real Estate Market Data for Brentwood, CA 2012
The table below is a truly comprehensive view of important data as it relates to the Real Estate Market in Brentwood, CA.  Note: a 75% Decrease in the number of homes "For Sale",  as well as an increase in the average Active Price which may be the result of homes no longer being "in the black!" Also, note the decrease in Days on Market which is likely attributed to a lack of inventory.  If you want it...you better jump on it in Brentwood!


As stated in the header, if there's more specific information that you'd like to see, up to and including a complete Comparative Market Analysis for your own property, please drop me an e-mail or give me a call. There are several ways to reach me immediately below.

As always, I'll leave you with a little taste of wisdom:
