Want to put your best foot forward in this frothy housing market? Welcome to the Wild West of Real Estate. In the East Bay, we have been in a Seller’s Market for the past eight or so years with trends favoring those selling their home over those looking to buy. In the early months of 2021, the degree to which this is true has intensified sharply. Oakland’s Alameda county saw home sales climb 22% year over year. What’s more, with more overbids than any other Bay Area county, ...homes are selling over their list price by an average of 7.2%. In some cases, Sellers receive fifteen to twenty offers and must determine from a sea of applicants which offer is most enticing. Agents are forced to be creative in finding ways to get their clients noticed, while being tasked to predict the unpredictable. Our agents have described this time in the Housing Market as frothy. Now, if you’ll indulge us while we play out this metaphor, we know that froth adds more flavor and enjoyment to our tasty beverage (something biochemically happens that allows more tastebuds to come into contact with our morning cappuccino). So, to that end, this frothy market is enabling us to savor the flavor and enjoyment of a hard-earned, well-deserved home. Now frothy doesn’t sound too bad, does it? We do know that these are turbulent, unprecedented times that we find - dare we say it - exciting. We at Kim Cole Real Estate want to help you put your best foot forward. And there are ways we can help you prepare. Read on by visiting kimcolerealestate.com/news for our guide on how to best prepare for this crazy housing market.

The beautiful and historic Jack London Square is home to some of Oakland’s finest - from restaurants, bars, wineries, to art galleries, and music venues.

And check back often to see what other units we have available in these coveted complexes.

This condominium is so much more than just its space within its 4 walls. From the private balcony of 222 Broadway #1402, you can gaze out in awe at the sprawling Jack London Square - and beyond. Watch the ferries come in and the sailboats gracefully glide about as you enjoy your morning coffee. Look out on the sparkling city lights with a glass of wine to wind down the evening. You have access to it all from this dramatic and grand condominium in the very heart of Oakland.

Today marks an important anniversary: It was a year ago that Covid-19 took over our lives. Shortly thereafter, the world was paused and turned completely on its head. We have all been affected one way or another. There have been jobs lost. Painful goodbyes to far too many. Unprecedented fear and uncertainty. In many ways, it’s hard to believe that we’ve already endured a year of such extreme turbulence and discord. In other ways, it’s sometimes hard to remember a time before... Covid, now that this has become our new normal for so long. And so, having gone through the many ups and downs of the last year and the chaos it’s inspired, we sit on this side of the virus armed with the knowledge, courage, agency, and ability to acknowledge the many ways we have grown and all we have learned. We have been forced to examine the things that we can live without and the things we can’t. Come to find, navigating the ever-changing landscape of residential real estate has forced us to do the same. Our agents have weighed in on the key takeaways from this year, from what they are itching to get back to, and what they have come to appreciate and respect about this time.

Say hello to our awesome Team Member, Jonathan! Jonathan has been with KCRE since July 2019 and is an invaluable member of our team. Let’s get to know him a bit more - take it away, Jonathan! My favorite part of real estate is helping people either find the perfect home for them, or navigate the daunting sales process. My favorite local spot changes all the time...currently I would say it’s Lake Merritt. It’s a fantastic three mile walk around the whole thing, and ever...y day and every hour is a different experience. It’s Oakland’s treasure. I spent my first five years out of college working as a camera assistant for films/TV/commercials in LA. Lots of fun stories. An ideal day for me would be waking up in the Canadian Rockies with two feet of fresh powder and getting to ski untracked runs all day. If there are no rules, then the end of the day is in a hammock on a branch in Thailand with a large rum drink. One of the best pieces of advance I can offer to buyers and sellers is: Try not to get too emotional - it’s bound to happen- but be aware that distance and awareness can help ease the process. We love having you on our team, Jonathan! #TeamMemberSpotlight #bayarearealestateforsale #oaklandagent
