The real estate market has been HOT! A definite "sellers" market. We were able to quickly sell our condo to a very serious buyer! Very quickly too! There were only a few contingency snags, but we were able to sort them out. It helped that our realtor walked us through the entire process. We were very pleased! Where are we living now? We moved in with my in-laws. This is just temporary until we find our future home. Gives us an opportunity to save even more too! It's rather nice to have zero debt again! The next steps... Now we are just going to wait for the market to level out a bit here in the Bay Area (keeping fingers crossed). The prices for homes are just outrageous and real estate inventory is limited. We are gambling on the fact that if we approach a recession, the housing pricing in the Bay Area may adjust to being more reasonable. Let's hope! We're standing by with money in hand to pull the trigger!

We decided to put our Castro Valley condominium up for sale. It was our first home that we bought together 14 years ago and we want to pass it to another first time buyer or investor! Many memories in this place. The views of the bay are spectacular! It's in the coveted Castro Valley School District and conveniently located close to BART/freeways, etc. I personally did all the remodeling by myself. New bamboo floor, new carpet, new appliances, new interior paint, new lighting fixtures, new toilets, and new water saving fixtures. Very bittersweet to leave but it's the right time for us to move to something bigger for our family. Come to the open house on June 8 & June 9 from 1pm-4pm on both days.
