The wrong choice can quietly cost you hours every week, lifestyle flexibility, and long-term financial leverage.</span></p><p><span>This isn’t a vibes-based comparison. It’s a data-driven, real-world commute and housing breakdown based on working with dozens of Google employees across the Peninsula, South Bay, and San Francisco.</span></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><span>🏘️ In this video, we analyze:</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>🚆 Commute Reality</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>How long it actually takes to get to the Googleplex from San Francisco, San Mateo, and Mountain View — by car, Caltrain, and Google shuttle.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>🏙️ Lifestyle Tradeoffs</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>Urban energy vs. Peninsula balance vs. suburban proximity — and how each choice impacts daily life outside of work.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>🏠 Housing Value &amp; Space</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>What your budget realistically buys in each area — condos vs. single-family homes, price per square foot, and long-term livability.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>🎓 Schools &amp; Family Planning</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>Why Palo Alto and parts of the Peninsula command premiums — and when that premium makes sense for Google families.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>🌤️ Weather, Density &amp; Quality of Life</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>Microclimates, congestion, walkability, and how “where you live” shapes how the Bay Area feels day to day.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>📊 Who Each City Is Best For</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>Why some Google employees thrive in San Francisco despite the commute — and why others never look back after moving closer to campus.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>🔑 Key Takeaways:</span></p><p><span>✅ San Francisco offers lifestyle — but at the cost of commute time</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>✅ San Mateo provides one of the best balance points on the Peninsula</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>✅ Mountain View / Palo Alto win on commute and schools — but at a premium</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>✅ Google shuttles and Caltrain change the equation more than most expect</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>✅ The “best” choice depends on career stage, family plans, and time value</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>💡 Pro Tips for Google Employees:</span></p><p><span>🏠 Buyers: Don’t choose a city based on reputation alone — commute friction compounds fast.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>📆 Relocators: Proximity to campus often beats square footage long-term.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>📊 Planners: Housing decisions should align with comp trajectory, not just current salary.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>📞 Ready to Choose the Right Location?</span></p><p><span>If you’re relocating for Google, switching campuses, or re-evaluating your commute in 2026, let’s map out a strategy that fits your work schedule, lifestyle goals, and long-term plans.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>📅 Book your call: https://calendly.com/spencerhsure</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>📞 Call / Text: (408) 547-4590</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>📧 Email: spencer@spencerhsu.com</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>🌐 Browse listings: https://www.spencerhsu.com/listings</span></p><p><span>💥 Follow for more Bay Area real estate insights</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>→ Instagram: @spencerhsure</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>→ LinkedIn: Spencer Hsu</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>#BayAreaRealEstate #SiliconValleyRealEstate #GoogleEmployees #TechRelocation #BayAreaHousing #MountainViewHomes #SanMateoRealEstate #SanFranciscoLiving #CommuteAnalysis #LivingInSiliconValley </span></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>]]></description>

It’s a data-driven, real-world commute and housing breakdown based on working with dozens of Google employees across the Peninsula, South Bay, and San Francisco.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;🏘️ In this video, we analyze:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;🚆 Commute Reality&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;How long it actually takes to get to the Googleplex from San Francisco, San Mateo, and Mountain View — by car, Caltrain, and Google shuttle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;🏙️ Lifestyle Tradeoffs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Urban energy vs. Peninsula balance vs. suburban proximity — and how each choice impacts daily life outside of work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;🏠 Housing Value &amp;amp; Space&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;What your budget realistically buys in each area — condos vs. single-family homes, price per square foot, and long-term livability.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;🎓 Schools &amp;amp; Family Planning&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Why Palo Alto and parts of the Peninsula command premiums — and when that premium makes sense for Google families.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;🌤️ Weather, Density &amp;amp; Quality of Life&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Microclimates, congestion, walkability, and how “where you live” shapes how the Bay Area feels day to day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📊 Who Each City Is Best For&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Why some Google employees thrive in San Francisco despite the commute — and why others never look back after moving closer to campus.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;🔑 Key Takeaways:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;✅ San Francisco offers lifestyle — but at the cost of commute time&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;✅ San Mateo provides one of the best balance points on the Peninsula&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;✅ Mountain View / Palo Alto win on commute and schools — but at a premium&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;✅ Google shuttles and Caltrain change the equation more than most expect&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;✅ The “best” choice depends on career stage, family plans, and time value&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;💡 Pro Tips for Google Employees:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;🏠 Buyers: Don’t choose a city based on reputation alone — commute friction compounds fast.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📆 Relocators: Proximity to campus often beats square footage long-term.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📊 Planners: Housing decisions should align with comp trajectory, not just current salary.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📞 Ready to Choose the Right Location?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;If you’re relocating for Google, switching campuses, or re-evaluating your commute in 2026, let’s map out a strategy that fits your work schedule, lifestyle goals, and long-term plans.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📅 Book your call: https://calendly.com/spencerhsure&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📞 Call / Text: (408) 547-4590&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📧 Email: spencer@spencerhsu.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;🌐 Browse listings: https://www.spencerhsu.com/listings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;💥 Follow for more Bay Area real estate insights&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;→ Instagram: @spencerhsure&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;→ LinkedIn: Spencer Hsu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;#BayAreaRealEstate #SiliconValleyRealEstate #GoogleEmployees #TechRelocation #BayAreaHousing #MountainViewHomes #SanMateoRealEstate #SanFranciscoLiving #CommuteAnalysis #LivingInSiliconValley &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

Overpricing in a normalized market costs time and money.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📊 Move-Up Buyers: Strong equity &#43; less frenzy = one of the best windows to trade homes in years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📞 Ready to Build Your 2026 Game Plan?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or doing both in 2026, let’s map out a smart, data-driven strategy — without panic or hype.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📅 Book a Zoom strategy call:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;👉 https://calendly.com/spencerhsure&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📞 Call / Text: (408) 547-4590&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📧 Email: spencer@spencerhsu.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;🌐 Website: www.homesbyspencerhsu.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;💥 Follow for Weekly Bay Area Market Updates&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📸 Instagram: @spencerhsure&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;💼 LinkedIn: Spencer Hsu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;👇 Drop a comment below: Are you buying, selling, or waiting in 2026?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;#BayAreaRealEstate #BayAreaHousing #HousingMarket2026 #SiliconValleyRealEstate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;#SanFranciscoRealEstate #SantaClaraRealEstate #SanMateoHomes #RealEstateForecast&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;#HomeBuyingTips #RealEstateStrategy #MarketTrends&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

And they’re returning faster than most buyers realize. 🏡&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;🏘️ In this video, we analyze:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📉 The Exodus Myth: Why the Bay Area “mass exit” story missed the boomerang effect now playing out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📈 Return Migration Signals: Where tech workers are coming back from — and why it matters for pricing and competition.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;🏠 Market-by-Market Impact: How Peninsula, South Bay, East Bay, and SF neighborhoods are responding differently to returning demand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;💰 Supply vs. Demand Reality: Why inventory — not interest rates — is the real constraint heading into 2026.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;🏦 Buyer Psychology Shift: How hybrid work, compensation packages, and career gravity are pulling buyers back earlier than expected.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;🔑 Key Takeaways:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;✅ Many buyers who waited during 2023–2024 are now re-entering the market.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;✅ Inventory remains historically tight across core Bay Area submarkets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;✅ Return migration adds pressure before rate cuts or positive headlines appear.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;✅ The most competitive price points are often tightening first — quietly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;💡 Pro Tips for Buyers &amp;amp; Sellers:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;🏠 Buyers: Position early while leverage still exists — before competition fully resets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📆 Sellers: Returning relocation buyers are highly qualified and decisive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📊 Investors: Watch submarkets near major tech hubs, transit, and improving schools — these tend to lead recoveries.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📞 Ready to Make a Smart Move?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Contact Spencer Hsu for a personalized Zoom strategy call to map out your timing, budget, and positioning in the Bay Area market.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📅 Book your call: https://calendly.com/spencerhsure&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📞 Call / Text: (408) 547-4590&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📧 Email: spencer@spencerhsu.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;🌐 Website: http://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;💥 Follow for More Market Insights&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;→ Instagram: @spencerhsure&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;→ LinkedIn: Spencer Hsu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;#BayAreaRealEstate #HousingMarket2025 #BayAreaHousing #SiliconValleyRealEstate #TechRelocation #BayAreaHomes #MortgageRates #MarketTrends #SanFranciscoRealEstate #SantaClaraRealEstate #sanmateohomes &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

Many are highly qualified and ready to act quickly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📊 Investors: Watch neighborhoods with flat month-over-month pricing — these often lead the next cycle up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📞 Ready to Make a Move?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Contact Spencer Hsu for a personalized Zoom strategy call to plan your next steps in the Bay Area real estate market.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📅 Book your call: https://calendly.com/spencerhsure&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📞 Call / Text: (408) 547-4590&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📧 Email: spencer@spencerhsu.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;🌐 Website: www.homesbyspencerhsu.com &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;💥 Follow for More Market Insights&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;→ Instagram: @spencerhsure&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;→ LinkedIn: Spencer Hsu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;#BayAreaRealEstate #HousingMarket2025 #BayAreaHousing #SanFranciscoHomes #SantaClaraRealEstate #SanMateoHomes #RealEstateTrends #MortgageRates #MarketUpdate #siliconvalleyrealestate &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

It’s not all bad news: the Bay Area remains the top VC market in the country, Google leased land in San Francisco for top dollar, and big new housing developments all ensure that as a comfortable place to live while earning a high salary and experiencing outstanding cultural amenities, outdoor activities, and professional growth opportunities, the Bay Area is hard to beat.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>Listen to this live Q &amp; A with Bay Area real estate guru Spencer Hsu to learn what will happen to Bay Area housing before the media reports it!

                <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Home prices to decline in 2023?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Are home prices set to decline in 2023 in the Bay Area? We’ll review the report by the San Francisco Chronicle on the matter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Oracle ditches more of its Bay Area office space and doubles down on Nashville and Austin. Meta is also decreasing its Bay Area office space. And will Salesforce, the city’s biggest renter, eliminate more of its downtown office space? What effect will this have on the commercial and residential markets here?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Plus, after a 12-year battle, one San Francisco housing project moves forward. And what would you think about buying a home with your platonic best friend? For some Bay Area residents, it’s the way to long-term equity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Listen to this live Q &amp;amp; A with Bay Area real estate guru Spencer Hsu to learn what will happen to Bay Area housing before the media reports it! And if you ever plan on buying or selling a home in the Bay Area, you&amp;#39;ll want to watch this update.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We go LIVE this Saturdays at 10 am PT. Ask me anything!

                <description><![CDATA[<p>The Bay Area is one of the most attractive places to live and work in the US. Boasting various job opportunities, sightseeing and natural beauty.

What&#39;s even more interesting is that, that means several people in Palo Alto own multiple homes.

                <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;The Bay Area is one of the most attractive places to live and work in the US. Boasting various job opportunities, sightseeing and natural beauty.

                <description><![CDATA[<p>With this series, we will be looking over what developments are happening in every city across the Bay Area. Many of you that are local here see projects and construction happening but did you know that most cities have plans to redevelop areas over the next decade? Let’s dive into Santa Clara! Santa Clara has some of the most ambitious plans for all of the Bay Area.</p><p><br></p><p>Over its 50+ year history, Fremont has evolved from an agricultural township to the metropolitan city it is today. When the City incorporated in 1956, its boundaries included five established small towns: Centerville, Irvington, Mission San Jose, Niles and Warm Springs, made up of thousands of acres of farmland, open hills, salt ponds, and marshes. The five original towns have grown and been joined together by new neighborhoods and business districts.</p><p><br></p><p>Fremont is now the second largest city in Alameda County and the fourth largest city in the San Francisco Bay Area. The city covers approximately 57,000 acres, which includes 7,400 acres of water and salt ponds located in San Francisco Bay and 49,600 acres of land. About 45 percent of the land area is permanent open space, including hillside and wetland preserves, grazing land, cemeteries, regional parks and trails, and city parks. About 26 percent is dedicated to streets, railroads, freeways, public facilities, and public rights of way. The remaining 29 percent consists of land designated for residential, commercial, and industrial uses, with residential uses representing a majority of the acreage.</p><p><br></p><p>So where is development happening? There are 4 main areas. There is the Centerville, Central Fremont, Irvington, and Warm Springs sections that are the focus. 3 of these sections are around the BART stations and future Irvington BART station</p><p><br></p><p>One of the longest development projects in the pipeline is the new Irvington Bart Station. It will be located in the Irvington District at the intersection of Washington Boulevard and Osgood Road, approximately halfway between the existing Fremont BART Station and the Warm Springs/South Fremont BART Station. This development was first approved by the BART Board in 1992, but due to insufficient funding, development was delayed until county voters passed a measure to specifically include funding for it in 2014. The anticipated construction is estimated to begin in 2022 and projected to be open in 2026. If we have seen the previous time schedules, don’t be surprised with further delays!</p><p><br></p><p>Let’s take a look at the housing side. Warm Springs is where most of the developments are happening right now. One of the areas is the Warm Springs Village Master plan which is built mostly by Toll Brothers. This area will house up to 1,000 residential units. Homes are currently available and are priced between $750,000 for a 1 BR all the way up to $1.55M for a 3BR.</p><p><br></p><p>The other area is for Lennar homes. They currently have homes available for move in and will be building at least for several years since they plan to build 2,200 units. They currently are releasing phase 1 which already has hundreds of people moved in. Check out my video here as the current area is called Innovation. Prices range from $842,000 to $1.2M and are all townhome styles.</p><p><br></p><p>I hope this was helpful to see what is coming down the pipeline in amazing Fremont.

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Every Tuesday, I go into detail about a question I frequently get asked. This week, I&#39;m going to how a Biden Presidency will affect real estate.</p><p><br></p><p>Before we dive in, it’s important to understand the general plan before understanding what the impacts are. However, it’s not certain that these plans can be implemented given the Democrats do not have full control of the government. Given what we have seen of the current Senate race,</p><p>my bet is that it will remain neutral and we will not have a blue wave which would limit what Biden can potentially do. However, let’s go through the items that may impact the market. Here are the fundamental principles for housing. The main things he will be focused on is creating more housing, subsidies for low income individuals, having more energy efficient and resilient homes. What does this mean for Bay Area owners, renters, and investors?</p><p><br></p><p>Here are the main impacts: This is primarily for investors. Biden plans to eliminate 1031 exchanges. What is a 1031 exchange? A 1031 Exchange is where a landlord can exchange an investment property to a like-kind property deferring any sort of taxes on the gains. It’s a common strategy for people to be able to trade up or diversify to different properties. For example, someone owning a single family rental can trade up to a large multifamily unit somewhere else without paying taxes. Alternatively, someone owning a single family in the bay area can sell to buy multiple single family homes somewhere else. This ability causes more activity in the real estate market otherwise people have to strongly consider their alternatives if they were to have a capital gains tax implication.</p><p><br></p><p>Now, what is a common strategy of deferring taxes? It’s pairing this up with the step up in basis tax policy. When people inherit assets after death of a friend or a relative, all those supposed gains are wiped out and the new person that inherits this home has their baselined adjusted. Let’s take an example. If a family bought a home 10 years ago for 100,000 and today it’s worth $200,000. If he passes away, the family can inherit the home and if they choose to sell it and it sells for $200,000, there is no tax on it since their stepped up basis is $200,000. I personally don’t see this as a bad thing but it’s up for discussion!</p><p><br></p><p>This is the one that will hurt the wealthiest the most. Biden wants to tax long term capital gains as ordinary income for taxpayers with more than $1M in annual income. Right now, profits from the sale of assets you’ve owed for a year and a day are at either 15 or 20% depending on your income threshold. Biden proposes raising the top rate to 39.6% for the highest earners which is intense! This is not just for real estate but also for stocks which would surely hurt the stock market and real estate market. It’ll be very difficult for anyone to consider selling a home especially in the Bay Area. If you thought it was low inventory now, imagine that kind of effect.</p><p><br></p><p>What are the positives for homebuyers? He will provide a stimulus for first time home buyers by creating a $15,000 refundable advanceable tax credit. The last time this was in place was when the government provided $8,000 checks in 2009 to boost the housing market. It had a strong impact at that time to boost confidence so it’s going to be really interesting to motivate people to go from rentals to ownership even faster.</p><p><br></p><p>--</p><p>If you’re interested in buying, selling, or investing in residential or commercial real estate in the 📍SF Bay Area, contact me today!</p><p><br></p><p>📧<a href="mailto:Spencer@spencerhsu.com" rel="nofollow">Spencer@spencerhsu.com</a></p><p>📞 (408) 547-4590</p><p>⏰ Set up a time to chat: <a href="https://calendly.com/spencerhsure" rel="nofollow">https://calendly.com/spencerhsure</a></p><p>🌍 Find your dream Bay Area home <a href="https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/</a></p><p>🎙️ Listen to my podcast: <a href="https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate" rel="nofollow">https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate</a></p><p>📸Follow me on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure</a></p><p>🧑‍💼 Let&#39;s connect on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu" rel="nofollow">https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu</a></p><p>🛎 Don’t forget to subscribe for the latest real estate tips and updates: <a href="https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7" rel="nofollow">https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7</a></p><p>🏠💲 Track the value of your home and see if it&#39;s beneficial to refinance! <a href="http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW</a></p><p>--</p><p>My Background: Born and raised in the Bay Area, I spent 11 years as Technology Sales Manager before becoming a Realtor.

                <description><![CDATA[<p>With this series, we will be looking over what developments are happening in every city across the Bay Area. Many of you that are local here see projects and construction happening but did you know that most cities have plans to redevelop areas over the next decade? Let’s dive into Sunnyvale! You will see that Sunnyvale is one of the most active cities when it comes to redevelopment.</p><p><br></p><p>The City of Sunnyvale has a colorful history spanning almost 100 years since its incorporation. It began as a train stop in the agricultural promised land known as “The Valley of Hearts Delights” and with planning and foresight has transitioned into its current form as a desirable residential community and strategically located high-tech job center known as the “Heart of Silicon Valley.”</p><p><br></p><p>Sunnyvale is now the second-largest city in Santa Clara County and the fifth-largest in the Bay Area. The City of Sunnyvale is in the flatlands of Northwest Santa Clara Valley. Less than an hour from the Pacific Ocean, it is 40 miles south of San Francisco, on the southern tip of San Francisco Bay. The City encompasses approximately 23 square miles and is at the crossroads of four of the South Bay’s major freeways and expressways, with three international airports nearby. Nearly all of the properties in Sunnyvale have development on them; only 0.5 percent of parcels are vacant. Residential areas account for the single largest land use in the city, amounting to 52 percent of the developed area. Industrial uses constitute 26 percent of the developed area.</p><p><br></p><p>Sunnyvale has 20 parks comprising 223 acres which is 5.7 acres of park and open space for every 1,000 residents in the City. Sunnyvale has approximately 60,000 housing units (single-family, condominiums, apartments and mobile homes). Single-family detached homes accounted for 39 percent of the housing units; single-family attached homes (townhouses and condominiums) totaled 10 percent of the housing units. Another 42 percent were multifamily (duplexes, tri-plexes, apartments), and 7 percent were mobile homes.</p><p><br></p><p>Sunnyvale began implementation of the Below Market Rate (BMR) Program, one of the oldest inclusionary housing programs in the country, in the early 1980s. The last major revision was in 2003, with the current ordinance requiring residential developments to provide a certain percentage of affordable units. Sunnyvale has been a model for local governments in addressing affordability issues. Through different programs they have rolled out over the years, they have created nearly 2,000 housing units with prices which are affordable to low and very-low income households.</p><p><br></p><p>--</p><p>If you’re interested in buying, selling, or investing in residential or commercial real estate in the 📍SF Bay Area, contact me today!</p><p><br></p><p>📧<a href="mailto:Spencer@spencerhsu.com" rel="nofollow">Spencer@spencerhsu.com</a></p><p>📞 (408) 547-4590</p><p>⏰ Set up a time to chat: <a href="https://calendly.com/spencerhsure" rel="nofollow">https://calendly.com/spencerhsure</a></p><p>🌍 Find your dream Bay Area home <a href="https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/</a></p><p>🎙️ Listen to my podcast: <a href="https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate" rel="nofollow">https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate</a></p><p>📸Follow me on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure</a></p><p>🧑‍💼 Let&#39;s connect on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu" rel="nofollow">https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu</a></p><p>🛎 Don’t forget to subscribe for the latest real estate tips and updates: <a href="https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7" rel="nofollow">https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7</a></p><p>🏠💲 Track the value of your home and see if it&#39;s beneficial to refinance! <a href="http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW</a></p><p>--</p><p>My Background: Born and raised in the Bay Area, I spent 11 years as Technology Sales Manager before becoming a Realtor.

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Every Tuesday, I go into detail about a question I frequently get asked. This week, I&#39;m going to discuss how long does it take to buy a house here in the Bay Area?</p><p><br></p><p>So I&#39;ve been getting this question a lot from a lot of my clients and especially first-time home buyers. And they asked me like, how long should I prep? How long should I wait or expect it to take for me to be able to get a house? Let&#39;s do our math a little bit backwards.</p><p><br></p><p>So typically even if you were able to make an offer today and get it accepted today, you have what they call a close of escrow time, which is the time it takes to go from offer acceptance to actually owning the home itself. Usually that&#39;s about 30 days. So if you work backwards, the earliest you can possibly even move in is 30 days from today, if you had your offer accepted today.</p><p><br></p><p>Now you also want to take into different variables as well where you may be exploring for a few weeks, a few months. You may unfortunately lose for various different offers given. You&#39;re not the only person buying, so account for that buffer. However, at the same time I&#39;ve helped many clients find a house within one weekend of searching. We would go see several properties on a weekend. They would stack rank what is important to them. What did they like, which ones they like. We also will understand when are offers due for each of the appropriate ones.</p><p><br></p><p>And then you can create a game plan with myself based off of all of those different variables. So what I tell all of my buyers that are actively looking today is on one end you have to be patient because if you&#39;re especially looking for a single family house, it&#39;s very competitive these days. So you have to be patient because you just don&#39;t know when it&#39;ll come up. They move very quickly. At the same time, you have to be ready. The last thing you want to do, and the biggest thing that most people regret is not being prepared, number one. Or thinking that something better will come down the road. Because the worst thing you can have is going through the journey and just keep thinking about, &#34;Oh, I wish I did that.&#34; Or, &#34;I wish I made an offer for this house,&#34; right? So that&#39;s something very important to understand. Be ready, be patient, and don&#39;t live with regrets, because that&#39;s the worst feeling you can possibly have especially as the market is competitive, and it is a marathon. But at the same time, be ready. You may finish the marathon very quickly. That&#39;s how I&#39;m able to provide my guidance, my expertise to give you a competitive edge. And so hopefully it will shrink that process altogether. But also through that you&#39;re mentally prepared to go through the journey.</p><p><br></p><p>--</p><p>If you’re interested in buying, selling, or investing in residential or commercial real estate in the 📍SF Bay Area, contact me today!</p><p><br></p><p>📧<a href="mailto:Spencer@spencerhsu.com" rel="nofollow">Spencer@spencerhsu.com</a></p><p>📞 (408) 547-4590</p><p>⏰ Set up a time to chat: <a href="https://calendly.com/spencerhsure" rel="nofollow">https://calendly.com/spencerhsure</a></p><p>🌍 Find your dream Bay Area home <a href="https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/</a></p><p>🎙️ Listen to my podcast: <a href="https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate" rel="nofollow">https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate</a></p><p>📸Follow me on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure</a></p><p>🧑‍💼 Let&#39;s connect on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu" rel="nofollow">https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu</a></p><p>🛎 Don’t forget to subscribe for the latest real estate tips and updates: <a href="https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7" rel="nofollow">https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7</a></p><p>🏠💲 Track the value of your home and see if it&#39;s beneficial to refinance! <a href="http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW</a></p><p>--</p><p>My Background: Born and raised in the Bay Area, I spent 11 years as Technology Sales Manager before becoming a Realtor.

How will the election impact Bay Area Real Estate prices? Take a look at the last 3 election cycles. What are common themes here? Do prices tend to drop at this time? It appears that things typically slow down leading to an election and last through January. But, take a closer look again. This same effect happens every single year. This is called seasonality and has very little to do with who is in office.

The need to move to a larger home due to extended work from home policies,and to leverage the record low rates we have, it’s been an incredible time to make your move now, Be aware if the economy does get better as an aggregate, we may see increases in interest rates which lowers the buying power of individuals. While the home price is important, the key metric is what is your monthly expense. Are you able to afford that monthly amount while having reserves if rates go up? This is why mortgage rates are so critical to the housing market and how it affects the dynamics whether people choose to rent vs buy.</p><p>--</p><p>If you’re interested in buying, selling, or investing in residential or commercial real estate in the 📍SF Bay Area, contact me today!</p><p><br></p><p>📧<a href="mailto:Spencer@spencerhsu.com" rel="nofollow">Spencer@spencerhsu.com</a></p><p>📞 (408) 547-4590</p><p>⏰ Set up a time to chat: <a href="https://calendly.com/spencerhsure" rel="nofollow">https://calendly.com/spencerhsure</a></p><p>🌍 Find your dream Bay Area home <a href="https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/</a></p><p>🎙️ Listen to my podcast: <a href="https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate" rel="nofollow">https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate</a></p><p>📸Follow me on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure</a></p><p>🧑‍💼 Let&#39;s connect on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu" rel="nofollow">https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu</a></p><p>🛎 Don’t forget to subscribe for the latest real estate tips and updates: <a href="https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7" rel="nofollow">https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7</a></p><p>🏠💲 Track the value of your home and see if it&#39;s beneficial to refinance! <a href="http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW</a></p><p>--</p><p>My Background: Born and raised in the Bay Area, I spent 11 years as Technology Sales Manager before becoming a Realtor.

The need to move to a larger home due to extended work from home policies,and to leverage the record low rates we have, it’s been an incredible time to make your move now, Be aware if the economy does get better as an aggregate, we may see increases in interest rates which lowers the buying power of individuals. While the home price is important, the key metric is what is your monthly expense. Are you able to afford that monthly amount while having reserves if rates go up? This is why mortgage rates are so critical to the housing market and how it affects the dynamics whether people choose to rent vs buy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;--&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you’re interested in buying, selling, or investing in residential or commercial real estate in the 📍SF Bay Area, contact me today!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📧&lt;a href=&#34;mailto:Spencer@spencerhsu.com&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;Spencer@spencerhsu.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📞 (408) 547-4590&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;⏰ Set up a time to chat: &lt;a href=&#34;https://calendly.com/spencerhsure&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://calendly.com/spencerhsure&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🌍 Find your dream Bay Area home &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎙️ Listen to my podcast: &lt;a href=&#34;https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📸Follow me on Instagram: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🧑‍💼 Let&amp;#39;s connect on LinkedIn: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🛎 Don’t forget to subscribe for the latest real estate tips and updates: &lt;a href=&#34;https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🏠💲 Track the value of your home and see if it&amp;#39;s beneficial to refinance! &lt;a href=&#34;http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;--&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Background: Born and raised in the Bay Area, I spent 11 years as Technology Sales Manager before becoming a Realtor.

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to my new series! We will be reviewing what developments are happening in every city across the Bay Area. Many of you that are local here see projects and construction happening but did you know that most cities have plans to redevelop areas over the next 15 years?</p><p><br></p><p>Let’s learn about how Belmont is set up right now.There is approximately 2,955 acres in the current city limits with an additional 62 acres of land contained within the planning area. 46% of the land is dedicated to residential land use which is a very small ratio compared to most cities. This is why Belmont is such a popular location for their privacy. Amongst the 46%, 41% of the land are Single Family homes. 4% of the land has multifamily units and there are some duplexes in the Sterling Downs and Homeview neighborhoods.</p><p><br></p><p>So where are we heading to? The biggest projects coming down the pipeline is the Belmont Village Mixed use land and the Corridor mixed used land projects which are right across from each other. This is a 2035 General Plan but it gives you an idea what will be happening as there are projects already underway. Take a look at the map here. You can see that the changes will be mostly near the Caltrain station between Ralston and El Camino Real. Most of these areas will be much more dense with condos, apartment rentals, affordable housing, and mixed use retail space on the ground level.</p><p><br></p><p>What are examples of these projects? Here are a few coming that you can expect over the next few years. Here are pictures of Artisan Crossing. This complex will be a 4 story 250 unit multifamily residential building ranging from studios to 2 Bedroom units. 15% will be affordable units.</p><p><br></p><p>Another development will be 800-803 Belmont avenue.This will be on the south side of Belmont Avenue and will have a total of 125 residential apartments. They will range between 1 to 3 bedroom units.</p><p><br></p><p>Another development will be called Firehouse Square. This will be on the corner of El Camino Real and O’Neill Avenue which will be a 4 story mixed used building with 65 affordable rental units, 3,748 square feet of retail and commercial space on the ground level, and 15 townhomes which will be for sale at market rate.</p><p><br></p><p>The last one at this time is the project on Hill Street and El Camino Real.

                <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Welcome to my new series! We will be reviewing what developments are happening in every city across the Bay Area. Many of you that are local here see projects and construction happening but did you know that most cities have plans to redevelop areas over the next 15 years?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let’s learn about how Belmont is set up right now.There is approximately 2,955 acres in the current city limits with an additional 62 acres of land contained within the planning area. 46% of the land is dedicated to residential land use which is a very small ratio compared to most cities. This is why Belmont is such a popular location for their privacy. Amongst the 46%, 41% of the land are Single Family homes. 4% of the land has multifamily units and there are some duplexes in the Sterling Downs and Homeview neighborhoods.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So where are we heading to? The biggest projects coming down the pipeline is the Belmont Village Mixed use land and the Corridor mixed used land projects which are right across from each other. This is a 2035 General Plan but it gives you an idea what will be happening as there are projects already underway. Take a look at the map here. You can see that the changes will be mostly near the Caltrain station between Ralston and El Camino Real. Most of these areas will be much more dense with condos, apartment rentals, affordable housing, and mixed use retail space on the ground level.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What are examples of these projects? Here are a few coming that you can expect over the next few years. Here are pictures of Artisan Crossing. This complex will be a 4 story 250 unit multifamily residential building ranging from studios to 2 Bedroom units. 15% will be affordable units.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another development will be 800-803 Belmont avenue.This will be on the south side of Belmont Avenue and will have a total of 125 residential apartments. They will range between 1 to 3 bedroom units.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another development will be called Firehouse Square. This will be on the corner of El Camino Real and O’Neill Avenue which will be a 4 story mixed used building with 65 affordable rental units, 3,748 square feet of retail and commercial space on the ground level, and 15 townhomes which will be for sale at market rate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The last one at this time is the project on Hill Street and El Camino Real. This is a 100% affordable housing project and will be a 37 unit residential project. These are slated to all be one bedroom rental units. Companies like Google and Facebook have poured hundreds of Millions of dollars for these types of affordable housing developments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope this was helpful to see what is coming down the immediate pipeline in a quiet town of Belmont!

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Every Tuesday, I go into detail about a question I frequently get asked. This week, I&#39;m going to discuss what happens when you get your offer accepted. Do you start celebrating? Not just yet..</p><p><br></p><p>So you spent weeks if not months finding a new property, and you finally got your offer accepted! Now what! Now the real journey begins. The close of escrow process will always feel like a roller coaster because you are not out of the woods just yet! The typical length of the close of escrow time is about 30 days. First thing that happens when you close a home is that you will need to wire 3% of a deposit called earnest money deposit typically within 1 business day to a 3rd party escrow account. The title and escrow company will be the checks and balance entity to ensure the transaction is facilitated appropriately.</p><p><br></p><p>Next the bank will go back and forth with you collecting additional documents and scrutinizing your history. The process of getting your loan approved typically takes about 2-3 weeks. This can all be front loaded if you actually got underwritten prior to getting in contract which is why I recommend everyone that is remotely serious about buying a home, to go through the underwriting process so they minimize the risk of a loan not being fulfilled.</p><p><br></p><p>Simultaneously, a 3rd party appraiser will be ordered by the bank. They will provide their valuation of a home by looking at the condition of the home and comparing it to others that have sold in the area.</p><p><br></p><p>Throughout the 30 days of the close of escrow, there will be different documents typically sent out to be docusigned. Most of these are disclosures that you have already read prior to making an offer but certain documents may have been missing that are cookiecutter templates but needed for a Realtor’s broker, and internal files.</p><p><br></p><p>2 weeks leading to the close of escrow, you want to schedule a change of utilities for your close of escrow date. You will also want to decide on a home insurance policy at that time.</p><p><br></p><p>About 1 week leading to the close of escrow, we will do a final walkthrough of the property called the Verification of Property. Typically homes in the Bay Area are bought as-is but if there are very notable things different than when we get into contract, we can ask the sellers to repair those items. Doesn’t hurt to ask though as most sellers want to also ensure a smooth handoff to the next family.</p><p><br></p><p>Around 1-2 days prior to the close of escrow, you will arrange a time to meet with a notary and sign alot of paperwork including loan documents, and the documents related to the transfer of a property to you. That same day or the following day, you will wire the remaining amount of your down payment + closing costs in one bundle to the escrow company. Once again, always be sure to call and verify the account information prior to wiring to prevent wire fraud.</p><p><br></p><p>Delays do happen so it is up to your real estate team to help resolve those situations. If there are no delays, at the close of escrow you will meet with your agent to do the key exchange typically in the late afternoon. It’s all over! You now become the owner of a home!</p><p><br></p><p>I hope this was helpful to understanding what happens after you win a bid! There is a lot that happens so choosing the right Realtor will help with the overall process.

This week, I&amp;#39;m going to discuss what happens when you get your offer accepted. Do you start celebrating? Not just yet..&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So you spent weeks if not months finding a new property, and you finally got your offer accepted! Now what! Now the real journey begins. The close of escrow process will always feel like a roller coaster because you are not out of the woods just yet! The typical length of the close of escrow time is about 30 days. First thing that happens when you close a home is that you will need to wire 3% of a deposit called earnest money deposit typically within 1 business day to a 3rd party escrow account. The title and escrow company will be the checks and balance entity to ensure the transaction is facilitated appropriately.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Next the bank will go back and forth with you collecting additional documents and scrutinizing your history. The process of getting your loan approved typically takes about 2-3 weeks. This can all be front loaded if you actually got underwritten prior to getting in contract which is why I recommend everyone that is remotely serious about buying a home, to go through the underwriting process so they minimize the risk of a loan not being fulfilled.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Simultaneously, a 3rd party appraiser will be ordered by the bank. They will provide their valuation of a home by looking at the condition of the home and comparing it to others that have sold in the area.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Throughout the 30 days of the close of escrow, there will be different documents typically sent out to be docusigned. Most of these are disclosures that you have already read prior to making an offer but certain documents may have been missing that are cookiecutter templates but needed for a Realtor’s broker, and internal files.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2 weeks leading to the close of escrow, you want to schedule a change of utilities for your close of escrow date. You will also want to decide on a home insurance policy at that time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;About 1 week leading to the close of escrow, we will do a final walkthrough of the property called the Verification of Property. Typically homes in the Bay Area are bought as-is but if there are very notable things different than when we get into contract, we can ask the sellers to repair those items. Doesn’t hurt to ask though as most sellers want to also ensure a smooth handoff to the next family.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Around 1-2 days prior to the close of escrow, you will arrange a time to meet with a notary and sign alot of paperwork including loan documents, and the documents related to the transfer of a property to you. That same day or the following day, you will wire the remaining amount of your down payment &#43; closing costs in one bundle to the escrow company. Once again, always be sure to call and verify the account information prior to wiring to prevent wire fraud.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Delays do happen so it is up to your real estate team to help resolve those situations. If there are no delays, at the close of escrow you will meet with your agent to do the key exchange typically in the late afternoon. It’s all over! You now become the owner of a home!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope this was helpful to understanding what happens after you win a bid! There is a lot that happens so choosing the right Realtor will help with the overall process.

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to my new PropTech Talk Thursday series to take a look and provide my candid thoughts on new Proptech businesses. These could range from products to companies leveraging technology to improve all facets of real estate. The Real Estate industry is one of the slowest to adopt technology but there are many opportunities along with money chasing these opportunities. Have you ever dealt with the hassle of renting out a property and wished there was a one stop shop to manage the entire process? Let me introduce you to Cozy.</p><p><br></p><p>Founded in 2012 in Portland Oregon, Cozy has raised a total of $18.4M and was acquired by CoStar group in 2018 for $68M.They are an online property management service designed for landlords and renters to handle processes like rent payments, rental applications, tenant screening, and property advertising helping small and medium landlords and renters to facilitate both sides smoothly.</p><p><br></p><p>So how does it work?</p><p>For landlords, their platform allows you to list your property and collect applications all in one spot. The listings you post on Cozy.co are syndicated with Realtor.com and Doorsteps.com. Applicants are able to directly apply and purchase a background check and credit report through them for $40. When an agreement is reached, you are able to collect rent through their platform every month without any additional charges. Tenants can send payments for free with their checking accounts. They can also pay with a debit, credit, or prepaid card for a 2.75% transaction fee. You’re able to manage the entire process all in one place.</p><p><br></p><p>Now, they do face a lot of competition. I just recently leased a client’s home as a landlord and just like marketing a home for sale, you want to get as much exposure as you possibly can. There are many options for consumers and landlords including Zillow, Craigslist, Facebook marketplace, Zumper, and/or the MLS. There is no centralized system like you will find for properties to buy and for sale.</p><p><br></p><p>Summary: Nevertheless, Cozy is a great option to post and manage the process of finding the best tenant.

                <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Welcome to my new PropTech Talk Thursday series to take a look and provide my candid thoughts on new Proptech businesses. These could range from products to companies leveraging technology to improve all facets of real estate. The Real Estate industry is one of the slowest to adopt technology but there are many opportunities along with money chasing these opportunities. Have you ever dealt with the hassle of renting out a property and wished there was a one stop shop to manage the entire process? Let me introduce you to Cozy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Founded in 2012 in Portland Oregon, Cozy has raised a total of $18.4M and was acquired by CoStar group in 2018 for $68M.They are an online property management service designed for landlords and renters to handle processes like rent payments, rental applications, tenant screening, and property advertising helping small and medium landlords and renters to facilitate both sides smoothly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So how does it work?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For landlords, their platform allows you to list your property and collect applications all in one spot. The listings you post on Cozy.co are syndicated with Realtor.com and Doorsteps.com. Applicants are able to directly apply and purchase a background check and credit report through them for $40. When an agreement is reached, you are able to collect rent through their platform every month without any additional charges. Tenants can send payments for free with their checking accounts. They can also pay with a debit, credit, or prepaid card for a 2.75% transaction fee. You’re able to manage the entire process all in one place.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, they do face a lot of competition. I just recently leased a client’s home as a landlord and just like marketing a home for sale, you want to get as much exposure as you possibly can. There are many options for consumers and landlords including Zillow, Craigslist, Facebook marketplace, Zumper, and/or the MLS. There is no centralized system like you will find for properties to buy and for sale.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Summary: Nevertheless, Cozy is a great option to post and manage the process of finding the best tenant. You can always post in multiple platforms for a rental and then have the screening process through your favorite portal. Leave in the comments below if you have rented a property, and which site you used.

Depending on actions by local communities, revenue losses could be less or more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you’re interested in buying, selling, or investing in residential or commercial real estate in the 📍SF Bay Area, contact me today!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📧&lt;a href=&#34;mailto:Spencer@spencerhsu.com&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;Spencer@spencerhsu.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📞 (408) 547-4590&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;⏰ Set up a time to chat: &lt;a href=&#34;https://calendly.com/spencerhsure&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://calendly.com/spencerhsure&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🌍 Find your dream Bay Area home &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎙️ Listen to my podcast: &lt;a href=&#34;https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📸Follow me on Instagram: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🧑‍💼 Let&amp;#39;s connect on LinkedIn: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🛎 Don’t forget to subscribe for the latest real estate tips and updates: &lt;a href=&#34;https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🏠💲 Track the value of your home and see if it&amp;#39;s beneficial to refinance! &lt;a href=&#34;http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;--&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Background: Born and raised in the Bay Area, I spent 11 years as Technology Sales Manager before becoming a Realtor.

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to my new PropTech Talk Thursday series to take a look and provide my candid thoughts on new Proptech businesses. These could range from products to companies leveraging technology to improve all facets of real estate. The Real Estate industry is one of the slowest to adopt technology but there are many opportunities along with money chasing these opportunities. Did you know that there is the option to sell your home online in some cities across the US without working with an agent? Let’s talk about the iBuyer movement and the largest of them all, Opendoor.</p><p><br></p><p>Based in San Francisco, CA, Opendoor has raised more than $1.5B in funding to date. Just a week ago, Opendoor made a deal with Chamath Palihapitiya to go public via a $4.8B SPAC deal. They are a newer breed of real estate company whereas Zillow and Redfin transformed how consumers searched for properties, Opendoor actually buys properties directly. They are an iBuyer that buys homes in cash based on their own algorithm. They deal with single-family homes built after 1960, priced between $125,000 and $500,000. But don’t try to sell them complete fixers as they disregard distressed properties, which require too much work, or more expensive properties, which are harder to value. Sorry Bay Area! ;)</p><p><br></p><p>So, how does it work? Property owners enter in information about their homes along with a bid on the online platform. When a bid is accepted, Opendoor purchases the property as-is, charging a fee slightly above the commissions real estate agents collect in return for the convenience of closing a sale quickly. They take a service fee of 6%, which is similar to the standard real estate commission, plus an additional fee that varies with its assessment of the riskiness of the transaction and brings the total charge to an average of 8%. They then improve and repair the property before relisting it. They are holding literally thousands of homes at a given time since when they acquire the home, they are the owners. Think of them like a flipper, but on steroids with a ton of capital.</p><p><br></p><p>Now this seems great, right? No Realtor, no showings, just some rich company buying your home. While the costs are a little higher than working with a Realtor, your net is likely significantly lower. Remember, that you are not selling what the market will pay for the home but what one company is willing to value. These companies want/need margin for each home so are you actually netting the most amount? Unlikely. The concept of buying direct has been going on for decades. I can buy your home in all cash if you allow me to. It doesn’t mean I or any investors would be willing to pay market but if you wanted the convenience, that can be done today. However, the margins they ask for is much lower than investors given their massive volume and huge capital war chest.</p><p><br></p><p>Summary: If you want a quick and convenient way to sell your home, Opendoor and Ibuyers are great options for that. If you want to sell for top dollar, go with a top Realtor in your market in place.

Tell me what you think and if you would sell directly to one of these companies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;--&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you’re interested in buying, selling, or investing in residential or commercial real estate in the 📍SF Bay Area, contact me today!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📧&lt;a href=&#34;mailto:Spencer@spencerhsu.com&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;Spencer@spencerhsu.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📞 (408) 547-4590&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;⏰ Set up a time to chat: &lt;a href=&#34;https://calendly.com/spencerhsure&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://calendly.com/spencerhsure&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🌍 Find your dream Bay Area home &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎙️ Listen to my podcast: &lt;a href=&#34;https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📸Follow me on Instagram: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🧑‍💼 Let&amp;#39;s connect on LinkedIn: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🛎 Don’t forget to subscribe for the latest real estate tips and updates: &lt;a href=&#34;https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🏠💲 Track the value of your home and see if it&amp;#39;s beneficial to refinance! &lt;a href=&#34;http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;--&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Background: Born and raised in the Bay Area, I spent 11 years as Technology Sales Manager before becoming a Realtor.

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Every Tuesday, I go into detail a question I frequently get asked. This week, I&#39;m going to show you the 2 worst questions to ask a Realtor.</p><p><br></p><p>So, you are thinking about buying or selling a property, but you’re a nervous wreck. Don’t worry it’s totally NORMAL. One of the ways to ease your anxiety is to make sure you hire the right Realtor. Our job is to point you in the right direction and act in your best interest.</p><p>Buyers and sellers today don’t need to use an agent, but with the right one you can make sure you make a wise investment. Knowing the RIGHT questions to ask a Realtor is the first step to finding the right agent for you. Before I tell you what questions to ask a Realtor, let me give you two you should not ask.</p><p><br></p><p>#1: What company do you work for?</p><p>This is definitely the worst question to ask a Realtor because it doesn’t matter. Prior to the evolution of the MLS and most of the online real estate search sites, the company a Realtor worked for used to matter because they may have controlled listings. In today’s market nothing could be further from the truth. Real estate companies have the business model of attracting talent to their business. It’s the agent who will make the difference in making a wise financial decision, not the company on their business card. Just because an agent is associated with the biggest company in town does not make them any more qualified than the agent at a very small office. Some of the best Realtors work for the smallest companies. If your Realtor constantly talks about how big their office is and how many sales their office had, they most likely lack their own personal experience and have to justify it with leveraging their companies statistics. This is why I never mention anything about a team number or a company stat because it isn’t the production of that individual.</p><p><br></p><p>#2: How long you been in the business?</p><p>Just because a Realtor has been in the business 25 years does not make them any more qualified to handle your transaction. What if they only do 4 deals a year? I would have major doubts about them because why hasn’t that Realtor continued to have an upward trajectory? How can they be stuck for so long? Would you rather work with someone who has been in the business for 4 years that has done over 100 transactions or the “experienced” agent who has done 4 deals a year for 25 years straight? You might also want to consider that the most important skill to hire in a listing agent is their marketing skills. The real estate industry has gone online and therefore the skills a good agent had 20 years ago are totally different from what they are today. Is your agent Tech savvy? Do they know where the market is going and are they leveraging those changes? Chances are a younger, more online marketing savvy agent, would have a better success in exposing your home to thousands of potential buyers through in depth marketing strategies as opposed to the older agent who has no idea how to use social media. Think about who is buying in most places today. I would focus more on the number of deals they have done on their own along with their public reviews than how long they have been in the business.</p><p><br></p><p>I hope this video helped you understand what’s truly important.

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to my new PropTech Talk Thursday series to take a look and provide my candid thoughts on new Proptech businesses. These could range from products to companies leveraging technology to improve all facets of real estate. The Real Estate industry is one of the slowest to adopt technology but there are many opportunities along with money chasing these opportunities. This week let me introduce you to Roofstock.</p><p><br></p><p>Based in Oakland, CA, Roofstock has raised $50M earlier this year for a total of $133M. They started their business in 2016 and have become a great option for people to be exposed to the world of owning single family rentals throughout the US. So what do they actually do? They are a platform where buyers can purchase properties from sellers. They have done over $2B in completed transactions.</p><p><br></p><p>What’s special about them? They make it really simple to see available properties that are potential homes to purchase in over 70 markets. They show you the financial projections and the homes are typically already being rented out to generate income minimizing the need to find a new tenant and start cashflowing. They also showcase information about the area which is very helpful for those that are not familiar with the location.</p><p><br></p><p>What are things to be aware of? Let’s analyze their business model. They take 2.5% from the sell side, and 0.5% from the buy side. If they have done over $2B in transactions, they generated $60M in revenue over the last 4 years which is no small feat. However, they also raised a total of $133M so where is that money actually going? The cost of the platform isn’t that complex, but it must be a huge cost to market for people to come to the platform to buy investment properties, but also sellers to sell here instead of selling through the traditional route with using Realtors. Their client acquisition cost must be pretty insane.</p><p><br></p><p>What they are doing here isn’t unique for those that are familiar with this business model. They are a basically a massive online turn key provider which proposes an easy solution for investors that want exposure to rentals out of the area. However, you want to be careful with all of their projections. It’s really convenient for investors to be able to see all these properties but how good are these properties really?</p><p><br></p><p>Even in a high appreciation market like the Bay Area which does between 5-6% a year on average over the last 40 years, this town in Texas is projecting 4.4% which is pretty aggressive. If you connect with local turn key providers that don’t have this kind of marketing budget, you may be getting better deals with more meat on the bone. The benefit of Roofstock is that they are a big brand so familiarity may help get you started into the space but to keep building up your rental portfolio might be a different matter.</p><p><br></p><p>If you are looking to get your foot into the door of investing in out of state, this is a great option as it’s a big brand that simplifies the process. However, if you want better returns, it may be better to connect and compare with some local provider, that would not have this same kind of premium on homes. You can simply Google turnkey (city) to find them.</p><p><br></p><p>So what do you think? Is this an option that you would consider? Leave it in the comments with your thoughts and if you would just buy a home yourself, and do your own renovations.</p><p><br></p><p>--</p><p>If you’re interested in buying, selling, or investing in residential or commercial real estate in the 📍SF Bay Area, contact me today!</p><p><br></p><p>📧<a href="mailto:Spencer@spencerhsu.com" rel="nofollow">Spencer@spencerhsu.com</a></p><p>📞 (408) 547-4590</p><p>⏰ Set up a time to chat: <a href="https://calendly.com/spencerhsure" rel="nofollow">https://calendly.com/spencerhsure</a></p><p>🌍 Find your dream Bay Area home <a href="https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/</a></p><p>🎙️ Listen to my podcast: <a href="https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate" rel="nofollow">https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate</a></p><p>📸Follow me on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure</a></p><p>🧑‍💼 Let&#39;s connect on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu" rel="nofollow">https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu</a></p><p>🛎 Don’t forget to subscribe for the latest real estate tips and updates: <a href="https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7" rel="nofollow">https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7</a></p><p>🏠💲 Track the value of your home and see if it&#39;s beneficial to refinance! <a href="http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW</a></p><p>--</p><p>My Background: Born and raised in the Bay Area, I spent 11 years as Technology Sales Manager before becoming a Realtor.

Leave it in the comments with your thoughts and if you would just buy a home yourself, and do your own renovations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;--&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you’re interested in buying, selling, or investing in residential or commercial real estate in the 📍SF Bay Area, contact me today!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📧&lt;a href=&#34;mailto:Spencer@spencerhsu.com&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;Spencer@spencerhsu.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📞 (408) 547-4590&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;⏰ Set up a time to chat: &lt;a href=&#34;https://calendly.com/spencerhsure&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://calendly.com/spencerhsure&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🌍 Find your dream Bay Area home &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎙️ Listen to my podcast: &lt;a href=&#34;https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📸Follow me on Instagram: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🧑‍💼 Let&amp;#39;s connect on LinkedIn: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🛎 Don’t forget to subscribe for the latest real estate tips and updates: &lt;a href=&#34;https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🏠💲 Track the value of your home and see if it&amp;#39;s beneficial to refinance! &lt;a href=&#34;http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;--&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Background: Born and raised in the Bay Area, I spent 11 years as Technology Sales Manager before becoming a Realtor.

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Every Tuesday, I go into detail a question I frequently get asked. This week, I&#39;m going to show you how to decide if hiring a Realtor is worth it.</p><p>Are you thinking about selling your house but don&#39;t know what route to take to sell it? Is it even worth using a Realtor? I mean using a Realtor sounds expensive, and I know about all these newer options to buy or sell, are they better?</p><p><br></p><p>The short answer on whether or not you should hire a Realtor will depend on your situation and who you hire. I&#39;m not talking about the company or brokerage you hire; I&#39;m talking about the individual agent.</p><p>TIME OUT… Here&#39;s how you decide if a Realtor is worth it or not. Their involvement in the transaction creates a better outcome for you. Sometimes that is marketing to as wide of an audience as possible, maximizing your profits with the right strategy, and other times it&#39;s in results like selling it fast. It really depends on your situation.</p><p><br></p><p>You could also hire a flat fee type of brokerage where they will sell your house for a lower than a traditional fee. Yes, you&#39;ll save money on paper initially but are you really getting more in the long run? Many times when using a flat-fee type service, you as the owner, will be doing the majority of the transaction on your own, don’t expect much communication or strategy discussions, and will lead to generally MUCH bigger mistakes. I have personally been a buyer of many of these flat fee services and I can let you know that a majority of paperwork is missing and their work ethic and communication is subpar. Think about it, if they have no upside, and they are getting the same flat fee either way, what&#39;s their motivation to push and get more money for you? They are actually incentivized to take any deal to get this off their plate so they have less to juggle with. But, you get what you pay for. There’s no right or wrong, it depends on your goals.</p><p><br></p><p>OR you could go with the modern approach of selling your house and hiring a real estate agent like me. Either way, this isn&#39;t about whether or not you use a Real Estate Agent. It&#39;s about which is best for your specific situation.</p><p>Most times, if you need to sell super fast and you don&#39;t want to maximize every dollar out of your home, then yes, selling directly to an investor or one of these large ibuyers like Opendoor might be a good option for you. Or you could go the concierge route and HIRE an agent Like ME. You see, the only reason I have a job is because my involvement in a transaction creates a better outcome than when I&#39;m not. In other words, I make people a lot of money.</p><p><br></p><p>But this video has nothing to do with me! It&#39;s all about giving you the information you need to make good selling decisions. And that&#39;s why I&#39;m giving you my entire real estate marketing plan for FREE. As long as you are willing to do my job for FREE, I want to be the one to show you. Now you might be wondering why a real estate agent would show you everything they do to sell a house without having to hire them? Why would a complete stranger show you how to avoid hiring them. Well, that&#39;s because I know it&#39;s a lot of work and requires a lot of skill, but hey if you are willing to do it, then I believe you deserve to keep any savings you get. And if you feel like it&#39;s too overwhelming, then you can always call me, and I&#39;ll sell it for you in no time, plus handle all the paperwork, marketing, negotiations and leveraging my network of thousands of agents. Selling real estate shouldn&#39;t cost 5-6%. It should net you 10-20%. But now you have all the information to make your own decision.</p><p><br></p><p>So if you are interested in learning how to sell your house WITHOUT hiring an agent, here&#39;s a step by step marketing plan. I want to show you how to replace me. Hey, just maybe….

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to my new PropTech Talk Thursday series to take a look and provide my candid thoughts on new Proptech businesses. These could range from products to companies leveraging technology to improve all facets of real estate. The Real Estate industry is one of the slowest to adopt technology but there are many opportunities along with money chasing these opportunities. Do you want to transform smartphone photos of any property into an accurate 3D model?

Home insurance adjusters can settle claims faster, lower costs with greater accuracy, and also start collecting the data of all of their policies to track homes in a level they have never done before.</p><p><br></p><p>I’ve heard of companies that take satellite images to be able to share that information with insurance companies to be able to give more accurate quotes but also recommendations. It’s better to take care of or even replace a roof than trying to repair the damages after a roof leaks.</p><p>This company takes it to another level by being able to do a 3D scan of an exterior home. When I sell homes, we use a tool like Matterport which creates a dollhouse view for the interior but this is a convenient way for the exterior.</p><p><br></p><p>It is incredible to see that using pictures from smartphones, that there is the technology already involved to 3D map homes. This is an incredible amount of insight for homeowners, contractors, but is the most interesting from a business of the insurance providers. It is always more cost effective for insurance providers to be able to see things and repair things than having problems. So now that insurance companies has all this data, they can work collectively with homeowners to reduce costs and possible major repairs.</p><p><br></p><p>So what do you think?

Today, you can list by owner, sell direct, hire a flat fee broker, or go a traditional route and hire a beast Realtor, like me(!!), but the point is that you have options.

These are rooms that trigger emotion, and they need to be shot in the best light possible! The agent can also decide which pictures are shown to the public. People are less likely to schedule a showing for a house that looks terrible online. The video should do the opposite. The video will showcase a live walkthrough of the house and, more importantly, showcase the flow of the house. The video is not going to sell the house, but it will increase showings and filter out people that aren’t serious. It allows your listing to stand out in a herd of homes for sale!

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to my new PropTech Talk Thursday series to take a look and provide my candid thoughts on new Proptech businesses. These could range from products to companies leveraging technology to improve all facets of real estate. The Real Estate industry is one of the slowest to adopt technology but there are many opportunities along with money chasing these opportunities. This week, let’s take a look at Unison.</p><p><br></p><p>Unison, based in San Francisco, CA, has raised $40 million in total funding with their latest round in 2018. They started their business in 2004 and have become a great option for people. So what do they actually do? Unison is considered a co-investor. They will front part of a down payment in exchange for future equity gains or losses.</p><p><br></p><p>What makes them special? Traditional banks and investors have limited options. You can either get a loan for a standard 20% or you can get a loan for less but you will pay higher interest rates or mortgage insurance since you have little skin in the game. Paying less down payment is also only available for purchases under around $750,000 depending on the county. However, with Unison they will split the down payment with you and they are interest free!</p><p><br></p><p>So how are they able to do that? Are they a charity? No, they will earn their money on the backend. When you sell the home, they will take 35% of future appreciation. Before you think it’s highway robbery, this isn’t a bad option. If you don’t want to put that much skin in a home, or your money can generate higher returns than real estate prices, which has been about 5-6% a year for the last 40 years, then it’s not a bad choice. They also will share the loss of the home with you. So if the market drops, and you have to sell at a loss for whatever reason, they will cushion that blow.</p><p><br></p><p>As you can see, Unison is very bullish that over a long period, real estate prices will rise. Now what happens if you don’t sell the home? If you still live in your house after 30 years, you will have to buy Unison out, or sell your house and pay back the loan with the proceeds. There are several ways of buying them out including doing a home equity loan.</p><p><br></p><p>So what do you think? Is this an option that you would consider?

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Every Tuesday, I go into detail a question I frequently get asked. Question of the week! If you are thinking of selling a house, are you curious what costs are involved?</p><p><br></p><p>Selling your house can be very stressful thinking about moving, packing, and new surroundings, but you want to know what&#39;s even more stressful? Selling a house without knowing what the sale is going to cost you. When you know your selling costs upfront, you&#39;ll be able to negotiate with the upper hand, knowing what your bottom line net walk away figure would be. The most important number is not what it sells for, but what you walk away with. </p><p><br></p><p>Title and Escrow Fees: This will vary on the sales price, but most importantly depending on which county you are doing the transaction in. If you are in San Mateo County, Title and Escrow is covered by the buyer side but if you were to sell in Santa Clara County, that will be on the seller side. You can expect around $6,000 in title and escrow fees for homes at $2M.</p><p> </p><p>Real Estate Transfer Stamps/Taxes: Will vary based on county and city. For San Jose the transfer taxes are shown here. You would be looking at around $13,000 from the seller side.</p><p><br></p><p>Payoffs To Any Existing Loans: This is the payoff owed if there is debt on the property.</p><p><br></p><p>Realtor&#39;s Commission: Commissions will be around 6% of the sales price, depending on your agent. A realtor&#39;s commission is split between a buyer and a seller&#39;s agent. Buyers are represented over 99% of the time by an agent protecting their interests. Your listing agent will then be responsible for marketing the property, handling showings, facilitating the transaction to closing, and protecting the seller. A good agent will easily justify their value as even though properties may sell fast, you can always get an edge to sell for as high as possible.</p><p><br></p><p>When added up, your closing costs typically reflect a ~7-8% of your sales price but will vary, and I highly advise you get a seller net sheet before listing your home for sale so you&#39;ll have a realistic bottom of line figure.</p><p><br></p><p>If you would like to receive an estimated net sheet for your upcoming home sale, we can put that together for you.</p><p><br></p><p>--</p><p>If you’re interested in buying, selling, or investing in residential or commercial real estate in the 📍SF Bay Area, contact me today!</p><p><br></p><p>📧<a href="mailto:Spencer@spencerhsu.com" rel="nofollow">Spencer@spencerhsu.com</a></p><p>📞 (408) 547-4590</p><p>⏰ Set up a time to chat: <a href="https://calendly.com/spencerhsure" rel="nofollow">https://calendly.com/spencerhsure</a></p><p>🌍 Find your dream Bay Area home <a href="https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/</a></p><p>🎙️ Listen to my podcast: <a href="https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate" rel="nofollow">https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate</a></p><p>📸Follow me on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure</a></p><p>🧑‍💼 Let&#39;s connect on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu" rel="nofollow">https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu</a></p><p>🛎 Don’t forget to subscribe for the latest real estate tips and updates: <a href="https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7" rel="nofollow">https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7</a></p><p>🏠💲 Track the value of your home and see if it&#39;s beneficial to refinance! <a href="http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW</a></p><p>--</p><p>My Background: Born and raised in the Bay Area, I spent 11 years as Technology Sales Manager before becoming a Realtor.

The key to selling your house quickly and for top dollar is by playing the game.</p><p>You&#39;ll receive the most amount of traffic and showings for your house in the first two weeks its listed. When your home goes on the market, it becomes the &#34;new&#34; listing, and serious buyers will quickly schedule an appointment for viewing &#34;before it&#39;s gone.&#34; It&#39;s this &#34;buzz&#34; that creates the urgency amongst the buyers because they know that new listings get a lot of traction and that if it&#39;s a good deal, it&#39;s going to go fast.</p><p>People tend to want things they can&#39;t have, and it&#39;s no different in real estate.

What happens when your listing sits on the market for longer? A different mindset happens to buyers as their initial assumptions are what’s wrong with the property.

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Every Tuesday, I go into detail a question I frequently get asked. Question of the week! Which county am I most bullish in the Bay Area for the long term and why? While some counties are booming right now due to extended work from home policies, there are many things that people forget about the Bay Area 5 months ago.</p><p><br></p><p>My thesis about strong long term appreciation while minimizing the downside risk comes down to location, location, location. However, what does this mean when people can work from home? Why are prices still rising in even some of the most expensive counties in the Bay Area? Shouldn’t Bay Area real estate prices tank? Not so fast... Now while many companies like Facebook and Google have allowed their employees to work from home until mid of next year, not every company has the luxury to do so. Even these companies are making large commercial real estate bets in this environment.</p><p><br></p><p>My entire thesis and long term bet is about 1 thing. Commute lifestyle. I am still very bullish that Big Tech along with other companies will continue to be building in the same hubs. It’s a community and talent attraction play. Did you know that Uber owned the Sears building in Oakland years ago? Do you know why they sold it a year later? It’s because they couldn’t recruit the talent they wanted there. Why is San Mateo county the most expensive county in the Bay Area? It is because it is centrally located between the hubs of San Francisco and Palo Alto. Many cities there aren’t in good school districts but it provides the flexibility for couples work while providing some of the most tranquil lifestyles available.</p><p><br></p><p>Now why else is it the most expensive? Supply and Demand. Take a look at the number of homes that sell each year. Also take a look on a map of the new construction that is available. There isn’t that many. It’s not because developers don’t like to build there, it’s because residents and city officials hate building there. There is a reason why there is so little construction in the Peninsula versus San Jose, Milpitas, Fremont and the East Bay which are building tens of thousands of condos/townhomes.</p><p><br></p><p>Now my thesis may be ruined if people truly can work anywhere for good. But if that thesis is the case, then why live in the Bay Area? You should sell your home today and move to a low tax state. I personally am very long in the Bay Area real estate market still due to the magic of Tech and Biotech which is actually the top 2 largest hub in the country surpassing San Diego and being very close to Boston.</p><p><br></p><p>--</p><p>If you’re interested in buying, selling, or investing in residential or commercial real estate in the 📍SF Bay Area, contact me today!</p><p><br></p><p>📧<a href="mailto:Spencer@spencerhsu.com" rel="nofollow">Spencer@spencerhsu.com</a></p><p>📞 (408) 547-4590</p><p>⏰ Set up a time to chat: <a href="https://calendly.com/spencerhsure" rel="nofollow">https://calendly.com/spencerhsure</a></p><p>🌍 Find your dream Bay Area home <a href="https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/</a></p><p>🎙️ Listen to my podcast: <a href="https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate" rel="nofollow">https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate</a></p><p>📸Follow me on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure</a></p><p>🧑‍💼 Let&#39;s connect on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu" rel="nofollow">https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu</a></p><p>🛎 Don’t forget to subscribe for the latest real estate tips and updates: <a href="https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7" rel="nofollow">https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7</a></p><p>🏠💲 Track the value of your home and see if it&#39;s beneficial to refinance! <a href="http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW</a></p><p>--</p><p>My Background: Born and raised in the Bay Area, I spent 11 years as Technology Sales Manager before becoming a Realtor.

I personally am very long in the Bay Area real estate market still due to the magic of Tech and Biotech which is actually the top 2 largest hub in the country surpassing San Diego and being very close to Boston.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;--&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you’re interested in buying, selling, or investing in residential or commercial real estate in the 📍SF Bay Area, contact me today!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📧&lt;a href=&#34;mailto:Spencer@spencerhsu.com&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;Spencer@spencerhsu.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📞 (408) 547-4590&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;⏰ Set up a time to chat: &lt;a href=&#34;https://calendly.com/spencerhsure&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://calendly.com/spencerhsure&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🌍 Find your dream Bay Area home &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎙️ Listen to my podcast: &lt;a href=&#34;https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📸Follow me on Instagram: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🧑‍💼 Let&amp;#39;s connect on LinkedIn: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🛎 Don’t forget to subscribe for the latest real estate tips and updates: &lt;a href=&#34;https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🏠💲 Track the value of your home and see if it&amp;#39;s beneficial to refinance! &lt;a href=&#34;http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;--&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Background: Born and raised in the Bay Area, I spent 11 years as Technology Sales Manager before becoming a Realtor.

                <description><![CDATA[<p>I&#39;m delighted to introduce a new series called Proptech Talk Thursday. Every Thursday, I will interview executives at a Proptech company or provide my candid reviews/thoughts. The Real Estate industry is one of the slowest to adopt technology as one of the reasons is it’s extremely fragmented. However, it doesn’t stop companies to try to figure out solutions for these really big problems. This week, let’s take a look at Homebound. Think of them as a tech-enabled general contractor.</p><p><br></p><p>As of January 2020, Homebound has raised a $35M Series B round totaling $53M. They claim to have developed tools to track and manage 370 unique tasks when building a home. Anyone that has done renovations, knows there are all of the components involved. This is magnified when dealing with ground up construction where there are even more complexities. They currently cover Sonoma, Napa, and Contra Costa county, Los Angeles and Ventura counties.</p><p><br></p><p>So what are my thoughts on this company? I think they are certainly onto several fronts. The industry is extremely fragmented as it’s hard enough to find good people that can be trusted time and time again. So the level of standard is very hard to come by and is even harder to scale. As they focus in certain areas, they can dominate those counties so as they go get permits/approvals, they may be able to bypass and streamline things with the city officials given the officials see them time and time again with the same processes. They may also leverage on supply discounts. Since they are basically a mini builder, they don’t have the downsides of the land costs, but have the potential volume of material whether it could be lumber, concrete, and standard appliances. The thing that makes this the most interesting is that if they can truly make it seem like the process of building is easy, it would democratize the construction industry itself allowing a lot more people to feel they have the confidence to build a home. This opens up a lot of interesting and creative in-fill opportunities all around.</p><p><br></p><p>What are the challenges? Their current model is that they play as a General Contractor and they sub out the work. A big challenge of this industry is finding reliable sub contractors in the different cities they operate. There is a big shortage of these talented individuals so hopefully they can come out with some sort of training program especially given unemployment is so high these days to train these subcontractors. Another challenge is that they are not widely known yet. The industry itself is really about referrals and those referrals are very tight knit. Top contractors and subcontractors are extremely busy so many people that they try to recruit, may not be very good subcontractors as they have plenty of work already. Technology is also not the easiest for construction workers to use. Construction workers have operated in a certain way for a very long time so for them to be trained on new tools and systems, is just not that simple.</p><p><br></p><p>I hope you enjoyed this new series.</p><p><br></p><p>--</p><p>If you’re interested in buying, selling, or investing in residential or commercial real estate in the 📍SF Bay Area, contact me today!</p><p><br></p><p>📧<a href="mailto:Spencer@spencerhsu.com" rel="nofollow">Spencer@spencerhsu.com</a></p><p>📞 (408) 547-4590</p><p>⏰ Set up a time to chat: <a href="https://calendly.com/spencerhsure" rel="nofollow">https://calendly.com/spencerhsure</a></p><p>🌍 Find your dream Bay Area home <a href="https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/</a></p><p>🎙️ Listen to my podcast: <a href="https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate" rel="nofollow">https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate</a></p><p>📸Follow me on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure</a></p><p>🧑‍💼 Let&#39;s connect on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu" rel="nofollow">https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu</a></p><p>🛎 Don’t forget to subscribe for the latest real estate tips and updates: <a href="https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7" rel="nofollow">https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7</a></p><p>🏠💲 Track the value of your home and see if it&#39;s beneficial to refinance! <a href="http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW</a></p><p>--</p><p>My Background: Born and raised in the Bay Area, I spent 11 years as Technology Sales Manager before becoming a Realtor.

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Every Tuesday, I go into detail a question I frequently get asked. Should you use a local bank vs online bank for bay area home loans. While interest rates are always very important, there is one piece you need to be most aware of.</p><p><br></p><p>Online banks have gained significant market share over the years claiming to be very customer centric and streamlining the process. They even advertise some of the lowest rates you will see! Check this latest ad out from Quicken Mortgage. They are offering loans for under 2% for a 15 year fixed rate! And they are not the only ones. They are clearly doing very well as their parent company, Rocket Mortgage just IPOed last week making Dan Gilbert the 28th richest person in the world.</p><p><br></p><p>But, should you use them for your home loans here in the Bay Area? It depends. Let’s talk about home purchases first. While these online banks are commonly used in a lot of markets across the country, they don’t do many purchases here in the Bay Area for several reasons. Because of how fast properties move, the time it takes to close is very important. They don’t have the same sense of urgency to be competitive with the banks that are local. Many banks even as busy as they are today can close as fast as 15-18 days. 2nd online banks don’t have local contacts that you can chase! The benefit with working with someone local is that reputation matters a lot. It means a lot to me as a top Realtor for future transactions, but also for them to do a good job so that they can get future business with you.. They have much more on the line with their credibility than someone that doesn’t have a focus of a particular area.. Last but not least, it is the ability to actually close the loan! When you are in contract, you would have 3% EMD or Earnest Money Down. This is your commitment amount that you need to fulfill the loan. No slight interest rate improvement is worth this risk! I’ve personally seen many of these loans claim that they have these amazing interest rates, only to fall out of contract weeks later jeopardizing the entire deal and the buyer’s EMD altogether.</p><p><br></p><p>Now where is it a good option? Refinances are a great solution because you don’t have the time constraint and the monetary risk of breaking a contract. You are welcome to shop around and try to get those teaser rates. Worse comes to worse, the refinance doesn’t go through so while you lose time and have a headache, at least you aren’t losing tens of thousands of dollars. Just be wary of the fine print. A lot of banks can go very low if you pay points. Think of interest rates and your closing costs as a sliding scale. Anybody can go really low if they are willing to pay a higher closing cost for it. Let’s look at that same teaser rate, while the rate is at under 2%, the closing costs are at close to 1 point which is a lot of money here in the Bay Area.</p><p><br></p><p>--</p><p>If you’re interested in buying, selling, or investing in residential or commercial real estate in the 📍SF Bay Area, contact me today!</p><p><br></p><p>📧<a href="mailto:Spencer@spencerhsu.com" rel="nofollow">Spencer@spencerhsu.com</a></p><p>📞 (408) 547-4590</p><p>⏰ Set up a time to chat: <a href="https://calendly.com/spencerhsure" rel="nofollow">https://calendly.com/spencerhsure</a></p><p>🌍 Find your dream Bay Area home <a href="https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/</a></p><p>🎙️ Listen to my podcast: <a href="https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate" rel="nofollow">https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate</a></p><p>📸Follow me on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure</a></p><p>🧑‍💼 Let&#39;s connect on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu" rel="nofollow">https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu</a></p><p>🛎 Don’t forget to subscribe for the latest real estate tips and updates: <a href="https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7" rel="nofollow">https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7</a></p><p>🏠💲 Track the value of your home and see if it&#39;s beneficial to refinance! <a href="http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW</a></p><p>--</p><p>My Background: Born and raised in the Bay Area, I spent 11 years as Technology Sales Manager before becoming a Realtor.

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Every Tuesday, I go into detail a question I frequently get asked. Are Single Family Homes a better long term investment than Townhomes? Let’s look into it.</p><p><br></p><p>A single-family home is an independent residential structure that sits on its own land and is designed to be used as a single dwelling unit, having just one kitchen, unshared walls and unshared utilities. A townhouse is an attached home also owned by its resident. One or more walls are shared with an adjacent attached townhome.</p><p><br></p><p>Townhomes typically have an HOA or a Homeowners Association. A homeowner&#39;s association is an organization in a subdivision, planned community, or condominium building that makes and enforces rules for the properties and its residents. Some people really hate having this monthly fee but it’s not so bad as most associations would cover the exteriors of your home including paint, landscaping, and your roof. Thus, your insurance premiums tend to be lower. Standard townhomes HOA range between $250-$450 a month but it may vary by location.</p><p><br></p><p>Many of the newer Single Family Homes after the 90s also have an HOA but the monthly amount tends to be much lower. They may cover any communal space like swimming pools and shared regular pavement of roads. They also may have specific rules as to overnight parking on the streets so it does keep the streets cleaner and less congested.</p><p><br></p><p>So what are the advantages and disadvantages of owning a Single Family? For Single Family homes, you own the land itself so you have a lot more flexibility and options as to what you want to do with it. Whether it’s creating your own hydroponic garden, doing an extension in the future, or even building out an ADU/In law unit, that’s up to the owner. The downside? It’s significantly more expensive to get into a Single Family home when compared to a townhome in that same city, typically a few hundred of thousand more, and there is also more upkeep/repairs that you are responsible for.</p><p><br></p><p>So what about townhomes? The advantages are that the price point entering is much lower and you are typically in rates vicinity to a lot of commercial space nearby. Most townhomes these days have three if not four levels which may make it more difficult if you are living with your parents going up and down the flight of stairs. Your HOA dues may increase over the years and that&#39;s out of your control.</p><p><br></p><p>Now, what’s the better long term investment?</p><p>I tracked the returns of Single Family Homes and Townhomes all the way back to 2006 in several cities around the Bay Area. You may actually notice that it’s very comparable in the specific cities that are being measured and in many cases, Townhomes/Condos have out performed Single Family Homes. The more important measurement isn’t whether you should pick between the two asset types but to pick in great locations. The city matters more. For example, if you bought a Townhome in Sunnyvale or Santa Clara in 2006, you would’ve done better than owning a Fremont Single Family home during that time.</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&q=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fspreadsheets%2Fd%2F1FSrHUKgoNdu9_d7k_7ZxMXQpU93uf6h7S9sdpTaIUZA%2Fedit%3Fusp%3Dsharing&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbURRSmUwWlVYVzdvU0dVTDd4UW1fVmpQMFNvUXxBQ3Jtc0tuLS0zbkotd2VxeVlPUnRJVGZ5T2VKaFl3QXNGaUFPQVE4TFNfSGRDQzJXMmtwd0lGRUlvYVdDSzBPQk40bkRnVTdTX1NxR3g0ek5VZE9VS1Fyb180OVNPOXNXdGJ0bjRJUF9TUWJaSmhfS1VRUFNBVQ%3D%3D&v=zeN2tsJ5BIo" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...</a></p><p><br></p><p>I hope this was enlightening!

                <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Every Tuesday, I go into detail a question I frequently get asked. Are Single Family Homes a better long term investment than Townhomes? Let’s look into it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A single-family home is an independent residential structure that sits on its own land and is designed to be used as a single dwelling unit, having just one kitchen, unshared walls and unshared utilities. A townhouse is an attached home also owned by its resident. One or more walls are shared with an adjacent attached townhome.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Townhomes typically have an HOA or a Homeowners Association. A homeowner&amp;#39;s association is an organization in a subdivision, planned community, or condominium building that makes and enforces rules for the properties and its residents. Some people really hate having this monthly fee but it’s not so bad as most associations would cover the exteriors of your home including paint, landscaping, and your roof. Thus, your insurance premiums tend to be lower. Standard townhomes HOA range between $250-$450 a month but it may vary by location.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many of the newer Single Family Homes after the 90s also have an HOA but the monthly amount tends to be much lower. They may cover any communal space like swimming pools and shared regular pavement of roads. They also may have specific rules as to overnight parking on the streets so it does keep the streets cleaner and less congested.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So what are the advantages and disadvantages of owning a Single Family? For Single Family homes, you own the land itself so you have a lot more flexibility and options as to what you want to do with it. Whether it’s creating your own hydroponic garden, doing an extension in the future, or even building out an ADU/In law unit, that’s up to the owner. The downside? It’s significantly more expensive to get into a Single Family home when compared to a townhome in that same city, typically a few hundred of thousand more, and there is also more upkeep/repairs that you are responsible for.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So what about townhomes? The advantages are that the price point entering is much lower and you are typically in rates vicinity to a lot of commercial space nearby. Most townhomes these days have three if not four levels which may make it more difficult if you are living with your parents going up and down the flight of stairs. Your HOA dues may increase over the years and that&amp;#39;s out of your control.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, what’s the better long term investment?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I tracked the returns of Single Family Homes and Townhomes all the way back to 2006 in several cities around the Bay Area. You may actually notice that it’s very comparable in the specific cities that are being measured and in many cases, Townhomes/Condos have out performed Single Family Homes. The more important measurement isn’t whether you should pick between the two asset types but to pick in great locations. The city matters more. For example, if you bought a Townhome in Sunnyvale or Santa Clara in 2006, you would’ve done better than owning a Fremont Single Family home during that time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fspreadsheets%2Fd%2F1FSrHUKgoNdu9_d7k_7ZxMXQpU93uf6h7S9sdpTaIUZA%2Fedit%3Fusp%3Dsharing&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbURRSmUwWlVYVzdvU0dVTDd4UW1fVmpQMFNvUXxBQ3Jtc0tuLS0zbkotd2VxeVlPUnRJVGZ5T2VKaFl3QXNGaUFPQVE4TFNfSGRDQzJXMmtwd0lGRUlvYVdDSzBPQk40bkRnVTdTX1NxR3g0ek5VZE9VS1Fyb180OVNPOXNXdGJ0bjRJUF9TUWJaSmhfS1VRUFNBVQ%3D%3D&amp;v=zeN2tsJ5BIo&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope this was enlightening! Location matters more than the type so if you are thinking from an investment perspective, be sure to strongly factor that in. The supply of new properties in these areas are very low with little new development given the lack of space.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What do you think?

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Every Tuesday, I go into detail a question I frequently get asked. Are you a medical resident, practicing physician, or a dentist? Did you know that you can buy with 0% down and no mortgage insurance? You don’t want to miss this video.</p><p><br></p><p>There are certain programs that many people are not familiar with. If people knew this, this is a highly competitive advantage to get out of renting much sooner or to trade up for a larger home without the need to save for a larger downpayment . My goal with this weekly tuesday tip series is not only educating the public, but also providing my network with competitive advantages since I personally track all of the different loan programs. This is a video if you are a medical resident, practicing physician, oral surgeon, dentist, or CPA or if you have friends that are these professions that are renting or living in a home smaller than they would like.</p><p><br></p><p>Many people are not aware that these professionals have some of the most flexible and lenient programs in the industry. Mortgage insurance is typically needed where a borrower goes less than 15% down. This is an insurance from the government that is there to protect the lender since the borrower is putting less than the standard amount down. It’s typically a monthly premium that’s added to a loan. However, certain lenders are willing to be more leveraged to help certain professionals get into a home faster. This is why these professionals I brought up, can buy homes with little to no money down and this goes for all sorts of price ranges. Take a look at the programs available.</p><p><br></p><p>-100% loan to $650K with no mortgage insurance</p><p>-95% loan to $1.25M with no mortgage insurance</p><p>-90% loan to $1.5M with no mortgage insurance</p><p>-80% loan to $1.75M obviously with no mortgage insurance.</p><p>-30, 20 and 15 year fixed loans as well as a 5 and 7 year ARM.</p><p>-Deferred school debt not counted in qualifying debt ratios</p><p>-For Residents &amp; Fellows, MD, DO, DDS, DMD (other designations maybe acceptable)</p><p><br></p><p>These programs are subject to change so reach out to me to learn more about your scenario!</p><p><br></p><p>Certain hospital chains like Kaiser also provide a down payment assistance program which basically provides up to 10% at very little to no interest as long as you stay with the hospital for several years. Think about it as a use it or lose it benefit sign on package. This program stacks with the lending program offered by the bank so you can use this assistance to cover your commitments for the down payment.</p><p><br></p><p>Now which bank offers such a great program? Only one that I am aware of right now which is BBVA. Take advantage of this sooner than later since banks do change their guidelines over time. For example Bank of America, had changed their minimal down payment from 5 to 15% a few months so this is not something that may last forever.</p><p><br></p><p>If you are one of these professionals or know of anyone that is, even if they are a resident, it’s important for them to know about this program especially knowing that their monthly payment may already be lower than what their rent may be.

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Every Tuesday, I go into detail a question I frequently get asked. Why are Bay Area home prices still increasing?</p><p><br></p><p>I get asked this all the time as to why this is happening. For those that have hoped for a COVID discount, you can clearly see that once shelter in place happened, we have only gone up from there in most places outside of SF. Rental markets in more expensive areas have declined but home prices continue to increase and the amount that is pending a week have hit all time highs as well. You can see my latest market update video where I extract the data. So, what&#39;s going on?</p><p><br></p><p>1) The Fed and banks have been very aggressive in ensuring that people keep their homes. They had announced unlimited quantitative easing and to keep buying mortgage backed securities pushing mortgage rates to record lows. As mortgage rates keep declining, the buyer power of individuals increases. People that pay exorbitant amounts in rent (over $3,000/month) are realizing that they can easily own a home in most places across the Bay Area with the same monthly payment.</p><p><br></p><p>2) COVID has not affected people equally. COVID has negatively impacted younger people and the service industry far more than those that are mid-level in their technical careers. If you think and look around as to who is buying in the Bay Area, these are the people still actively buying and having confidence with their job security.</p><p><br></p><p>3) EVERYONE needs more space than ever before. The longer people work from home, the more they realize that their current situation is unbearable. This is why rental figures for 1 BR has plummeted double digits, but 2BR and Single Family Homes have done significantly better, even within those same cities. With people being able to work from home longer, people are more comfortable in buying a larger home further away even more so than before.</p><p><br></p><p>4) While inventory levels have improved and actually surpassed pre-shelter levels, we are still much lower than what is needed from a demand perspective. This is actually happening across the US but Bay Area is much more severe given the lack of space/construction in the core Bay Area. We don&#39;t have enough housing in the Bay Area and COVID made that imbalance much worse. Take a look at the stock prices of builders, they are all reporting record demand and can&#39;t build fast enough. As long as there is this problem, prices will likely continue to rise.</p><p><br></p><p>5) Millennials are growing up! People think millennials are only in their 20s and all they do is waste money on experiences or high rent. Given they can’t spend that money on those things anymore, they are using all of that saved income that they have to just buy a home instead! Millennials are classified to include people to the age of 38. Many millennials are starting young families and want to settle down. Be on the lookout as this trend won’t stop. There are over 83 million millennials right now.</p><p><br></p><p>Now what are my predictions? The next few months will continue to be intense and we will hit new record highs. I suspect the months after will slow down and not grow as fast. However, even as intense as it is right now, there are still plenty of opportunities as every home will have it’s own unique strategy. Do not psyche yourself out before you even begin the journey! Leverage the cheap money that banks are providing, get out of the rental market as that money is a waste, or find a bigger home so that you are comfortable in the new normal.</p><p><br></p><p>--</p><p>If you’re interested in buying, selling, or investing in residential or commercial real estate in the 📍SF Bay Area, contact me today!</p><p><br></p><p>📧<a href="mailto:Spencer@spencerhsu.com" rel="nofollow">Spencer@spencerhsu.com</a></p><p>📞 (408) 547-4590</p><p>⏰ Set up a time to chat: <a href="https://calendly.com/spencerhsure" rel="nofollow">https://calendly.com/spencerhsure</a></p><p>🌍 Find your dream Bay Area home <a href="https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/</a></p><p>🎙️ Listen to my podcast: <a href="https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate" rel="nofollow">https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate</a></p><p>📸Follow me on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure</a></p><p>🧑‍💼 Let&#39;s connect on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu" rel="nofollow">https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu</a></p><p>🛎 Don’t forget to subscribe for the latest real estate tips and updates: <a href="https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7" rel="nofollow">https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7</a></p><p>🏠💲 Track the value of your home and see if it&#39;s beneficial to refinance! <a href="http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW</a></p><p>--</p><p>My Background: Born and raised in the Bay Area, I spent 11 years as Technology Sales Manager before becoming a Realtor.

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Every Tuesday, I go into detail a question I frequently get asked. What do you need to know about Bay Area Home Lending?</p><p><br></p><p>This is the first step that needs to be done before looking for a home! You want to understand what your loan ceiling is as this is what I call a hard ceiling. There isn’t a point of looking at properties above this amount unless you are able to get gift money or financial support from others. Nevertheless, there are alot of lenders and loan programs out there, so what do you do?</p><p><br></p><p>Banks constantly change their guidelines and take turns being the most competitive but there are a few things to be aware of. I do what I can to constantly monitor and track the strengths/weaknesses of each bank so that my clients can get an advantage.</p><p><br></p><p>There are two common types of loan programs. A 30 year fixed rate, or an Adjustable rate mortgage. Many people decide between the two based off of how they feel about interest rates changing in the future and their time horizon of owning the property. If you are certain that you will be using the home as a tradeup and plan to sell within 5-7 years, many people opt for the ARM rate and save money on their monthly payments. ARM rates are typically lower by 0.25% to 0.5% from a 30 year fixed rate.</p><p><br></p><p>When it comes to home purchases that require at least a $250k+ down payment, Wells Fargo is currently very hard to beat. They still have a program called Assets Under Management which allows clients to buy down rates with money that they would’ve used for down payment anyways! Other private client programs require the money to stay in the account after the transaction takes place so this is a great benefit for those that know about it.</p><p><br></p><p>Physician loans, especially tied with companies like Kaiser, has some of the best programs out there. Depending on what kind of offer you receive from a local Kaiser, many physicians at Kaiser have down payment assistance where Kaiser covers 10% of your down payment. Physicians, without support from their company have loan programs that can buy with 5% down, will have no mortgage insurance, and can buy up to $1.2M. Mortgage insurance is a extra monthly cost that you pay since you don’t have much skin in the game initially in the home. You may ask, wait if Kaiser can cover 10%, and a standard physician loan requires 5%, does this mean I don’t need to put any money down? Bingo! You can reach out to me to learn more about this as to how this process works but you can note for all of your physician friends, there isn’t much of an excuse to not be a homeowner! BBVA has the best programs for this.</p><p><br></p><p>If you are a first time buyer, you don’t have to buy with 20%. That is a misconception. There are plenty of programs for as low as 3.5% down for everyone to take advantage of. There is a max of your purchase amount of up to $765,600 but there are plenty of properties all throughout the Bay Area to get in this category. People ask me, but there is mortgage insurance? It’s always better to get into the homeownership side of the table than as a renter where that is a guarantee sunk cost. As the value of your home rises over time, you also have the option to refinance the PMI out since the PMI is needed due to initially having very little equity/skin in the game. It also accelerates you and frees up that capital to do other things with your money. Mortgage brokers are great candidates for this and tend to be more flexible than banks.</p><p><br></p><p>All of these are great options because you are leveraging record low interest rates and getting out of the rental space. I have great lending partners as very much like Realtors, there are a lot of loan officers out there and they are not all equal from a knowledge perspective, communication, and work ethic.. If you or anyone you know is considering to buy, sell, or invest in the Bay Area, let’s talk! I’m never too busy to be introduced and I have helped several clients from these videos itself!

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Every Tuesday, I go into detail a question I frequently get asked. Moving from one location to another can be a lot of work, but check out these strategies to make your move as smooth as possible!</p><p><br></p><p>1) Before packing, consider throwing away or donating things you don’t need. It’s a perfect opportunity for a fresh start</p><p>2) Buy and find boxes that are of the same size. Most people get cardboard boxes but I would suggest you actually rent plastic boxes. These boxes will be much more sturdy, have handles with them, and will force you to unpack otherwise you will continue to pay rental fees. It’s a great motivator as I’ve seen some families months after they move, still have boxes laying around!</p><p>3) Label boxes for which rooms they should be moved to. Since boxes are typically packed last one in, first one out, leave the boxes you want to take out first and most critical to the end.</p><p>4) Pack a 72 hour emergency kit like medicine,pan for basic cooking, toilet paper, sleep essentials, and critical documents such as passports in a separate backpack or suitcase. Last thing you would want is for this to be lost in a box somewhere!</p><p>5) When moving things, move the furniture first. Since they are generally an odder shape relative to the boxes, you want them to be in the back of the truck or pod.</p><p>6) Tie down or strap down in different sections so that things don’t move around during transit.</p><p><br></p><p>Now what options do you have for the move?</p><p>A) You can just simply do it yourself by renting a Uhaul truck. The cost of these are per day and charged per mile. You can see some options and they also give you an idea as to how much space you would possibly need depending on what square feet of a home you are moving from.</p><p><br></p><p>B) You can hire professional movers. Estimates would be at least $500 since you are paying for labor.</p><p><br></p><p>C) Another option is for a pod setup. This is a great option as a pod can be delivered to you and you are under less time constraint to do everything in one day. You move what you need into a pod, then it can be shipped directly to the next location or into a storage facility. Here is a sample breakdown as to what to expect here in the Bay Area. I took a move from one city to another city that is about 15 miles away. You can see there will be a monthly cost for the pod rental itself, and other costs when it comes to dropping, moving the pod, and eventually picking up the pod when it’s done.</p><p><br></p><p>--</p><p>If you’re interested in buying, selling, or investing in residential or commercial real estate in the 📍SF Bay Area, contact me today!</p><p><br></p><p>📧<a href="mailto:Spencer@spencerhsu.com" rel="nofollow">Spencer@spencerhsu.com</a></p><p>📞 (408) 547-4590</p><p>⏰ Set up a time to chat: <a href="https://calendly.com/spencerhsure" rel="nofollow">https://calendly.com/spencerhsure</a></p><p>🌍 Find your dream Bay Area home <a href="https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/</a></p><p>🎙️ Listen to my podcast: <a href="https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate" rel="nofollow">https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate</a></p><p>📸Follow me on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure</a></p><p>🧑‍💼 Let&#39;s connect on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu" rel="nofollow">https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu</a></p><p>🛎 Don’t forget to subscribe for the latest real estate tips and updates: <a href="https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7" rel="nofollow">https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7</a></p><p>🏠💲 Track the value of your home and see if it&#39;s beneficial to refinance! <a href="http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW</a></p><p>--</p><p>My Background: Born and raised in the Bay Area, I spent 11 years as Technology Sales Manager before becoming a Realtor.

If you are transient or don&amp;#39;t play to stay in the Bay Area for the weather, lifestyle, or job opportunities, it&amp;#39;s best to save money for your next residence where you plan to live.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Share this video and my calculator with your friends!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vJ1augKGbxgahEdO8oWIDYhvdyoVyGhKMKSNtusY0N4/edit?usp=sharing&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;--&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you’re interested in buying, selling, or investing in residential or commercial real estate in the 📍SF Bay Area, contact me today!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📧&lt;a href=&#34;mailto:Spencer@spencerhsu.com&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;Spencer@spencerhsu.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📞 (408) 547-4590&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;⏰ Set up a time to chat: &lt;a href=&#34;https://calendly.com/spencerhsure&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://calendly.com/spencerhsure&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🌍 Find your dream Bay Area home &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎙️ Listen to my podcast: &lt;a href=&#34;https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📸Follow me on Instagram: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🧑‍💼 Let&amp;#39;s connect on LinkedIn: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🛎 Don’t forget to subscribe for the latest real estate tips and updates: &lt;a href=&#34;https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🏠💲 Track the value of your home and see if it&amp;#39;s beneficial to refinance! &lt;a href=&#34;http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;--&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Background: Born and raised in the Bay Area, I spent 11 years as Technology Sales Manager before becoming a Realtor.

Thus a lower cost of maintenance also the design and appliances are generally more energy efficient with dual pane windows and better insulation.</p><p><br></p><p>Some of the layouts are much better than the 2010 models. A lot more in law units setups on the bottom floor</p><p><br></p><p>For many communities, things can be negotiated even though they list at a certain price. This is because once they lower the price, it’s a new lower bar for the public to see so it&#39;s a last resort for them.</p><p><br></p><p>The community is genrerally more newer families.</p><p><br></p><p>What are the cons?</p><p>Some do not like the styles. Most townhomes/single family homes are 3 if not 4 story these days</p><p><br></p><p>If you look at the areas, they are more dense so if you like space, it’s not as available. Parking is generally much tighter and more difficult.</p><p><br></p><p>Generally a premium. Be sure to work with a Realtor to see what else has sold and how much you are paying for the new construction</p><p><br></p><p>If it’s a new area, there may be risks involved with an unknown community. I.e. possible soil contamination</p><p><br></p><p>Tips:</p><p>So why use a Realtor?</p><p>Just like preowned homes, builders pay the agent. You get the experience of a top Realtor and can negotiate a better deal. You will not get a better deal on your own and you need to also understand what others have sold for. You want someone working at your best interest, just like preowned homes, I don’t dual end as the interests will never be aligned.</p><p><br></p><p>Research the builder when buying new construction. Read online reviews of the community, and see their finishes in person.</p><p><br></p><p>Have everything in writing. Model homes are NOT the same as what you would move into. Be sure to check out and be OK with the designated lot location.</p><p><br></p><p>Link to new construction homes: <a href="https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/new-home-construction/" rel="nofollow">https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/new-home-construction/</a></p><p><br></p><p>--</p><p>If you’re interested in buying, selling, or investing in residential or commercial real estate in the 📍SF Bay Area, contact me today!</p><p><br></p><p>📧<a href="mailto:Spencer@spencerhsu.com" rel="nofollow">Spencer@spencerhsu.com</a></p><p>📞 (408) 547-4590</p><p>⏰ Set up a time to chat: <a href="https://calendly.com/spencerhsure" rel="nofollow">https://calendly.com/spencerhsure</a></p><p>🌍 Find your dream Bay Area home <a href="https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/</a></p><p>🎙️ Listen to my podcast: <a href="https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate" rel="nofollow">https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate</a></p><p>📸Follow me on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure</a></p><p>🧑‍💼 Let&#39;s connect on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu" rel="nofollow">https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu</a></p><p>🛎 Don’t forget to subscribe for the latest real estate tips and updates: <a href="https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7" rel="nofollow">https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7</a></p><p>🏠💲 Track the value of your home and see if it&#39;s beneficial to refinance! <a href="http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW</a></p><p>--</p><p>My Background: Born and raised in the Bay Area, I spent 11 years as Technology Sales Manager before becoming a Realtor.

This is because once they lower the price, it’s a new lower bar for the public to see so it&amp;#39;s a last resort for them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The community is genrerally more newer families.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What are the cons?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some do not like the styles. Most townhomes/single family homes are 3 if not 4 story these days&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you look at the areas, they are more dense so if you like space, it’s not as available. Parking is generally much tighter and more difficult.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Generally a premium. Be sure to work with a Realtor to see what else has sold and how much you are paying for the new construction&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If it’s a new area, there may be risks involved with an unknown community. I.e. possible soil contamination&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tips:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So why use a Realtor?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just like preowned homes, builders pay the agent. You get the experience of a top Realtor and can negotiate a better deal. You will not get a better deal on your own and you need to also understand what others have sold for. You want someone working at your best interest, just like preowned homes, I don’t dual end as the interests will never be aligned.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Research the builder when buying new construction. Read online reviews of the community, and see their finishes in person.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Have everything in writing. Model homes are NOT the same as what you would move into. Be sure to check out and be OK with the designated lot location.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Link to new construction homes: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/new-home-construction/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/new-home-construction/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;--&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you’re interested in buying, selling, or investing in residential or commercial real estate in the 📍SF Bay Area, contact me today!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📧&lt;a href=&#34;mailto:Spencer@spencerhsu.com&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;Spencer@spencerhsu.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📞 (408) 547-4590&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;⏰ Set up a time to chat: &lt;a href=&#34;https://calendly.com/spencerhsure&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://calendly.com/spencerhsure&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🌍 Find your dream Bay Area home &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎙️ Listen to my podcast: &lt;a href=&#34;https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📸Follow me on Instagram: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🧑‍💼 Let&amp;#39;s connect on LinkedIn: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🛎 Don’t forget to subscribe for the latest real estate tips and updates: &lt;a href=&#34;https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🏠💲 Track the value of your home and see if it&amp;#39;s beneficial to refinance! &lt;a href=&#34;http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;--&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Background: Born and raised in the Bay Area, I spent 11 years as Technology Sales Manager before becoming a Realtor.

I suspect SF will rebound over time as things start to open up again but for now, there is downward pressure in SF.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;--&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you’re interested in buying, selling, or investing in residential or commercial real estate in the 📍SF Bay Area, contact me today!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📧&lt;a href=&#34;mailto:Spencer@spencerhsu.com&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;Spencer@spencerhsu.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📞 (408) 547-4590&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;⏰ Set up a time to chat: &lt;a href=&#34;https://calendly.com/spencerhsure&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://calendly.com/spencerhsure&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🌍 Find your dream Bay Area home &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎙️ Listen to my podcast: &lt;a href=&#34;https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📸Follow me on Instagram: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🧑‍💼 Let&amp;#39;s connect on LinkedIn: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🛎 Don’t forget to subscribe for the latest real estate tips and updates: &lt;a href=&#34;https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🏠💲 Track the value of your home and see if it&amp;#39;s beneficial to refinance! &lt;a href=&#34;http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;--&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Background: Born and raised in the Bay Area, I spent 11 years as Technology Sales Manager before becoming a Realtor.

Having personally invested and done renovations in the Bay Area, I wanted to help busy colleagues in the Bay Area technology industry find their dream home as seamlessly as possible. I specialize in educating my clients on the process of buying, selling, and investing in the Bay Area. I have helped 17 families within the last year for $21MM in happy transactions!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spencer Hsu, MBA&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Realtor&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spencer@SpencerHsu.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(408)223-5493&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;EXP Realty DRE #02077253&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;www.homesbyspencerhsu.com&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>
