About Me

Hello,
I have been a Broker and Realtor since 1984! My service areas include, Alameda, Oakland, San Leandro, Castro Valley, Pleasanton and San Ramon. Because I have been a California Association of Realtors Director since 1991, I have extensive knowledge in Negotiating, Contracts and Real Estate Law. When making a decision to choose a Realtor, always ask if the agent has a sales license or a Broker's license and make sure they are a Realtor. Brokers have more education and knowledge. Please visit my website JeanSellsDreams.com for comprehensive information on purchasing or selling a home. There are some fun links and a kid's page too! My office is Windermere Welcome Home in Alameda. 510 908-9002

When you are ready to work with a Broker/Realtor, contact me! You will not be disappointed!!

Jean Powers, CRS, ASP, e-PRO, PMN answered:

Within 5 years the economists state that there will be an increase in prices. Alameda has decreased a bit but we are still holding fairly strong. Alameda properties are still receiving multiple offers if the property is priced correctly and is in good condition. There is going to be a proposal of an increase in our city transfer tax which the city feels will help in keeping the same level of public services. Being that I have lived here all my life and a broker for over 24 years, this is the worst I have seen in our market and our economy. I have to say are market is still strong and in the long run will go up as it has in the past. - Mon Aug 4 2008, 08:30

I have a nice home in Bay Farm (Harbor Bay). Have owned it for 10 years. Should I rent it, or sell it?

Asked Tue Jul 29 2008, 21:38 by Chess Player - 94502 - Market Conditions - 8 answers

Jean Powers, CRS, ASP, e-PRO, PMN answered:

Good Morning,
With the info you gave, I would say rent it. Alameda's market has held strong. Prices have gone down a bit but we still receive multiple offers on properties that are priced correctly. Hold on to your home. Alameda property has always in the long run gone up in value. You are very lucky to be in the position to keep your home and rent it!!! You may even come back and enjoy our growing community. Much happiness to you for the future. - Wed Jul 30 2008, 07:15

Good Evening,
This a difficult question to answer as I do not know your circumstances. I grew up on Bay Farm Island and Harbor Bay was the bay when I was young. I still live here and have been a broker here for over 24 years.Do you live on Bay Farm or Harbor Bay? There is a big difference. Does your home have equity? If you rent will the rent cover your loan payment plus taxes and insurance or will you have a negative cash flow? Do you think you will come back to this home? Would you like to keep it as investment property? Until you speak with a Realtor to help you with these answers and more, it is very difficult to answer your question. If you need help, I would be happy to help you. My email is Homes@jeanpowers.com
Have a great week!! - Tue Jul 29 2008, 22:01

Jean Powers, CRS, ASP, e-PRO, PMN answered:

Unfortunately you will not be able to find a 3 bedroom home in your price range. How about San Leandro? I know you can find a home that fits your needs in San Leandro. Let me know if you need help. - Thu Jul 17 2008, 12:45

Unfortunately any single family homes priced around $450,000 would be a small cottage or cottage. Alameda has not been affected like other cities. Our prices have come down a bit and we seeing multiple offers in many cases. You could find a 3 or 4 bedroom home in San Leandro that would fit the needs of your family. Let me know if you need help. - Thu Jul 17 2008, 12:41

Are there any condos for sale/lease near Sea View Pkwy in Alameda, CA?

Asked Mon Jul 14 2008, 21:08 by Naomi - Alameda - Home Buying - 3 answers

Jean Powers, CRS, ASP, e-PRO, PMN answered:

Naomi,
Yes, there is one condo and 3 townhomes for sale just steps from Sea View Parkway, I have been a broker for over 24 years here in Alameda and also born and raised! Call, text or email a message, I am happy to help you.
If you pick up and Alameda Journal on Fridays, it is free, it will list the rental companies in town. Also, Pam has a good suggestion, go on Craig's list, a tenant who was renting a home I am listing, just rented a condo near Seaview and found the rental on Craig's list. She just moved in and saved an extra fee by renting directly with the owner.Hope this information has helped you - Mon Jul 14 2008, 21:43
