Monday Mid-Peninsula Market Reports
Hey Everyone,
Here are the Monday Real Estate Market Reports! It’s the second week in a row that pending sales have been on a strong and steady rise. Is this the bottom? I don’t know; I don’t have a crystal ball. However, I am not the only one noticing the buzz in the real estate market. Fellow agents in my office have also agreed that there is a positive outlook right now. Lawrence Yun the Chief economist of the National Association of Realtors states “the upward movement gives reason to hope the industry could see a solid spring selling season” in his Real Life: Market Pulse article in Realtor Magazine. The San Francisco Chronicle that loves to share negative news even had something positive to save in J.W. Elphinstone’s “Analysts see a sliver lining in February Price Drop” Article.
If you’re on the fence about when the right time to buy might be. You might want to start the pre-approval process because the bottom could have just passed or is very near.

Review of MacAurthur Place in Sonoma
On Valentine’s Day my husband and I drove to Sonoma to stay at one of our favorite places, MacAurthur Place in Sonoma.
Naturally, it’s very hard to get a reservation on Valentine’s Day. We felt very lucky to have gotten in because they have a large waiting list.
So we got to town and had dinner next door at Saddles. They have very good Prime Rib that is priced well. After enjoying an excellent meal, we checked into our Hotel, went up to our room and lit a fire. Within five minutes, we received a phone call from my mother that we needed to come home; my daughter had an extreme fever. I ran down to check back out and was very apologetic knowing that a lot of people would have loved our room on this special day. The Hotel said since it was an obvious medical emergency they weren’t going to charge us for the room. I was shocked, and very grateful.
A few weeks after getting home I checked our bill and to my delight there was a credit on our charge card. The MacAurthur Place didn’t have to credit us for the room. We had already checked in and enjoyed the complimentary wine and cheese.
I usually go to this resort with my friends at least once a year to enjoy the fabulous spa. If you are considering going to Sonoma to enjoy the wine country, I highly recommend MacAurthur Place. They are a class act!
