COVID-19 and Almaden Valley Real Estate
COVID-19 and Almaden Valley Real Estate… Despite the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, home sales in Almaden are still happening – just at a slower rate. Real estate agents are considered essential services (part of financial services) but, per Santa Clara County COVID-19 rules, we can only show vacant homes and we can only show to 2 parties from the same household at a time. So, we cannot do open houses unless they are virtual. Right now, there are only 23 single family homes on the market in Almaden. In February, we had 25 single family homes in Almaden go into contract. In March, there were 23, and, for the first half of April, there have been 6. I’ve noticed more showing of my listings in the past two weeks since there is now more clarity on what agents can and cannot do. In fact, I’ve had 3 of my listings go into contract within the past 10 days plus I had 6 closings in Almaden since the beginning of March.
If you are wondering how current events may impact the sale of your home or home purchase, contact me and let me explain how I can help navigate these challenging times.
