I've been selling Alameda city real estate for....seems like forever! This is where my husband and I chose to settle down (we were originally from Newport Beach)...he was a yacht designer (passed on in 2002 very unexpectedly). We raised our kids, who are now married and live in CA and New Zealand! We are native CA, and I almost feel like a native Alamedan. I have a background as a commercial pilot, teaching in gliders and small planes. I brought new planes across the across the US and then repossessed them when the market went south! I flew DC 4's (four engine work horses) in Alaska hauling salmon, as a co-pilot, when I was pregnant with our son. Check out my weekly blog and my track record...www.MarilynSchumacher.com and get to my website from there. We may or may not be a perfect match....but I'll be forthright with you as my "praises" say. |

Alameda has had property prices increase BIG-TIME this year. That’s old news. But this link may be of interest to those who are buying or are trying to buy at this time. Here’s a line from the Wall Street Journal article, dated May 1: Even with the gains in home prices, housing is more affordable [...]
It’s fourth grade in my small life. I have three younger brothers. That year I attended three different schools because my dad was transferred with his company. From Costa Mesa (CA) to San Diego (CA), to La Jolla (CA) (to accommodate a relative coming to live with us), and then up to Daly City [...]
This is one I can’t ignore. Here is the top 10 National Association of Realtors 2013 Source vs. Cost of Improvements. Note that it doesn’t reflect prices in the Bay Area, which one could easily assume will run a lot higher. I read a lot online. I maybe I saw this earlier in Bay Area [...]
Yep, I’m watching Hollywood go berserk over their productions. I can take it or leave it. But it did get me thinking….what grabs the attention of the academy of property buyers? I think this list makes winners. The right pricing. That includes the location, the condition. Everything has a right price. It’s called the market [...]
On Tuesday of this week there were all of 6 new listings in Alameda, and on Wednesday there were 2 more! It’s a start! I ride my bike on most every Tuesday Tour Day. This week it was quite pleasant…cold but pleasant! Here are some highlights… One condo, single level, on the 2nd story with [...]
While this past week’s Broker Tour literally didn’t exist, there were some new houses on the market. They just weren’t on the tour. One that I did see this week was a flip. It was 1058 Central Ave. I saw this on October 22. It was a mess: roof leaked, windows damaged, a hoarders paradise [...]
