During the Almaden Cares Teen Driving Simulator Event participating teens were asked a set of questions about driver safety.
More specifically, whether they have ever engaged in, or been a passenger in a vehicle where the driver has engaged in, texting and driving or drinking and driving.
We know our loyal readers enjoy participating in events and activities at Almaden Branch Library from time to time.
We wanted to inform all of you that the Almaden Branch Library hours have changed. The library is now open four days per week. Following are the new hours [UPDATED 2022 – LIBRARY IS CURRENTLY OPEN 6 DAYS PER WEEK]:
The number of available single family properties continued the decline we first noted in late June, from 99 last week to 98 this week. However, this last week saw a decrease in the percentage of pending listings, from 39% last week to 33% this week. Researching this further, we saw a decrease in the number of new pendings this past week accompanied by a dramatic increase in the number of properties that completed the sales process. We’ve observed the same pattern in traditional (ie non-distressed) sales; available single family listings dropped from 92 last week to 90 this week, and the percentage of listings under contract dropped from 30% to 24%. Many families are squeezing in the last days of summer vacation before their kids go back to school. Plus there may be a few jitters with the volatility of the stock market in recent weeks. As is typical with the Almaden market, we expect the market to start picking up again soon once kids are settled back in school. Interest rates are at record lows and buyers want to take advantage of that.
Stanford Blood Center is holding a Community Blood Drive in Almaden Valley.
Since 1978, Stanford Medical School Blood Center has been providing tailored blood products and samples, as well as clinical trial services, for its staff of primary investigators and researchers in Stanford University and the biotech community.
We saw a more robust improvement this past week than we’ve been experiencing. The number of available single family listings dropped from 104 the previous Monday to 99 today, while the percentage of listings under contract increased from 37% to 39% the same time period. For traditional (non-distressed) sales, the numbers indicated a similar improvement; available single family listings dropped from 96 to 92, and the percentage under contract increased from 27% to 30% . This is good news and it brings us back up to May levels for traditional sales.
