Pacific Union International released May 2012 Bay Area Real Estate statistics this past week. Here’s what the related article said about Contra Costa County results:

“In Contra Costa County, we’re seeing multiple offers on everything under $1.3 million, and homes priced at $800,000 to $1.2 million are selling as quick as they’re listed. There’s a caveat, though: The multiple offers are plentiful in part because our agents are advising reasonable prices on properties. Buyers remain cautious, and they’re not bidding on inflated listings.”

Bottom line: Things are looking up. Success is more assured, but you have to start by pricing the property correctly.
