Taking a Ride on a Real Estate Rollercoaster

The real estate market has its ups and downs, and turns and twists. What are we to expect as we enter the holiday season?

To sum up San Bruno real estate for sale this month, the words that come to mind are Niles Avenue and Crestmoor Drive. That is because there are four homes currently for sale on Crestmoor and two on Niles.

There are not a lot of homes for sale in San Bruno right now. As it is today, there are 16. Most of them are over $600,000, a few in the $400,000 range and none in the $500,000 range at all! Oh! There is a bank-owned fixer upper on Montgomery for $195,000, in case you were interested.

There is nothing for sale in all of Shelter Creek's 1,100 units except a studio condo for $158,800. There are absolutely zero condos for sale at Peninsula Place right now! Strange that out of 900 units at Peninsula Place, there is nothing for sale...zip! 

Are people still waiting for a better opportunity to sell, make money and move? Or are they just happy where they are? (I can understand that because I am!) The real estate market is like a rollercoaster ride. Today it's a sellers market. Was not so this time last year when there was more to choose from and fewer people buying.

Today is the opposite. There is little to choose from and more people trying to buy than ever! We'll see what the holiday season brings us as we roll on along!

Mr, Kiely, When they cut school days, isn't the savings in that the employees who directly work withRead More and for the children are deprived of that many days of pay??? Do the principals also lose 5 days pay? Does Hutt lose 5 days pay? Do the board members lose 5 days worth of their stipend. In other words, is the bad tasting medicine swallowed by everyone in the school district in a sincere effort to cure the ills of this school district Or is it just the teachers and the classified workers who are called upon to attempt a restoral of good health, the direct result of poor management and less than admirable leadership that has brought about ths crisis??

Mr, Kiely, Somewhere I heard that they were considering stopping contracting out PE at a largeRead More savings. Was that discussed last week? I was not abe to stay the entire evening. I question why they would have contracted for PE at the elementary level. Isn't that what recess and the balance of lunch time was for? Physical activity??? Thank you in advance for your always knowledgeable answer to my questions.

District cutting school days? The District is showing an agreement with the union which will saveRead More $200K. It doesn't show where the money is coming from, but the amount makes it look like they are cutting 5 days from the calendar. Dr. Hutt said at the last meeting that the length of the school year was still under negotiation.
