Update: Save Pleasanton’s Hills & Housing Cap Initiative
July 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment
At the Pleasanton City Council meeting on July 15 @ 7:00 the council will meet to discuss adopting two resolutions.
More than 5,000 Pleasanton residents signed a petition asking the Pleasanton City Council to place an initiative on the ballot which would limit development on Pleasanton hillsides. Some of what is asked for is.
- Limiting development on hillsides with grades greater than 25% within 100 feet of a ridgeline
- Stricter definition of ‘housing unit’ increasing the current number of residential units in Pleasanton
Supporters are looking for an ordinance that would stop developments like Oak Grove in Pleasanton which is a 51 lot custom home development on 496 acres in the southeast hills of Pleasanton.

Buying Short Sales in Dublin or Foreclosures in Pleasanton
June 18, 2008 | 1 Comment
Buying a Short Sale in Dublin or a Foreclosure in Pleasanton is a lot easier than you think, but buying a Short Sale in Dublin or a Foreclosure in Pleasanton is not as easy as you think?? What, I’m confused too. While many people see buying foreclosures here in our area the thing to do, there are good and bad items to consider when buying a Short Sale in Dublin or a Foreclosure in Pleasanton
Allow me to explain…
Why Buying a Foreclosure in Pleasanton is Easy
- Clean Title (bank paid everything off)
- Good Prices (banks dont like holding homes)
- Easy to See (nobody lives there)
Why Buying a Foreclosure in Pleasanton is Hard
- Need Work (not all, but be prepared) Example 1687 East Gate Way
- Multiple Offers (remember, prices are good)
- No Disclosure (bank doesn’t know what went on in the home)
Why Buying a Short Sale in Dublin is Easy
- Motivation (time frame is short before it goes to foreclosure)
- Pricing (Seller needs to sell before bank steps in)
- Condition is Better (Generally, the sellers are taking care of the home)
Why Buying a Short Sale in Dublin is Hard
- Sloooow Response Time (could be a 3 months plus to get lender approval)
- Multiple Offers (Again motivation sets pricing)
- Foreclosure Hits (if it takes too long, the bank could foreclose while in contract)
Overall, if you know what you are doing then buying a Foreclosure in Pleasanton or Dublin can be a great opportunity. A Short Sale in Dublin could be a great bargain.
If you would like a list of Foreclosures in the Tri Valley or Short Sales here too, comment on this post.

How Much Will My Home be Worth in 40 Years?
June 10, 2008 | 2 Comments
40 years ago you could buy a Pleasanton home for $25,000, today it’s $850,000… how much will the home you buy today be worth in 40 years?
If you are worried about the market values today, remember 40 years from now the home you buy today for $850,000 could increase 3,300% to $30,000,000. That was the increase from 1965. Crunch the numbers, it’s a huge increase, but so is $25,000 to $850,000.
Remember, buy a home that is unique, one you will enjoy, close to amenities and one somebody else would if you didn’t buy it. It’s one way to look at the numbers, but remember all areas are different and this is one example from the Pleasanton Valley / Birdland neighborhood in Pleasanton.
A Bit of Finance Advice For You
June 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Foreclosures in Pleasanton, Short Sales in Dublin Ranch, the weather, the Boston Celtics - This is what’s hot today.
My point is this - Foreclosures in Dublin and Foreclosures in Pleasanton get there because sometimes personal finance is overlooked.
A few tips to avoid a short sale in pleasanton or if you are looking to purchase a short sale in Dublin Ranch or a short sale in Pleasanton you need financing and here are some things to do to help your personal finance:
Rule #1 - Only borrow money to buy things that increase in value.
Education, a home, your business. Cash for everything else.
When you use a credit card you borrow money to pay for something. How does it make sense to pay for shoes or a dinner out on a credit card with debt attached already? It is decreasing in value and goes against Rule #1.
If you want to get out of debt and / or buy a house while we are seeing an increase in certain areas, here is what to do.
LIVE BELOW YOUR MEANS
No Dinners out
No new clothing
No coffee in the morning
No cable
No name brands
Carpool to work
Skip Vacation
Rent out a room
LIVE LIKE YOU HAVE NO MONEY
You WILL save thousands and pay off the credit cards. Cleaning up the credit will take less time than you think and you will then be able to buy more things, but this time they will increase in value.
