For the third month in a row, the number of properties sold in Emeryville was down compared to the same month last year. Higher prices, tax changes and rising interest rates are all attributed to this slow start.
That said, there are currently 20 properties pending and 15 properties for sale in Emeryville. We expect to see a substantial increase in April.

Further insights or shopping for an agent?
If you are considering becoming a homeowner, one of your first steps should be getting pre-approval from a lender. Lenders generally require the last two years of tax returns. You might qualify for more than you expect. The sooner you know, the sooner you can strategize on how to become a homeowner and stop subsidizing your landlord’s mortgage. Building equity in your own house is a great investment.
