What’s Going On With Pleasanton Home Prices?

Last month, only one Pleasanton home sold for more than $3 million. But under the surface, the market actually picked up speed. Homes sold in about 30 days on average, and buyers paid full asking price.

The catch is that Pleasanton is behaving like two different markets. Homes under $1.7 million are moving at a faster pace than in the last two years, while pricier homes are selling at a five-year low.

Curious what this data means for your home? I break it down on my blog, and if you’re in Livermore I’m keeping an eye on your market too!

In Partnership with Livermore Valley Arts
Two Great Nights of Jazz!

Two Great Nights of Jazz at The Bankhead!

Jazz fans, The Bankhead has two fantastic performances coming up that you'll want to check out!

First, rising Blue Note Records jazz vocalist Gabrielle Cavassa takes the stage at Club Bankhead for a completely different experience. This intimate setting brings the audience right up on stage with the artists for an up-close evening of incredible jazz. Friday, November 20th at 8pm.

Next up - Pleasanton's own Jeff Bordes will be joined by Meredith McHenry, The Big Easy Brass Band, and special guests for a lively New Orleans-style celebration filled with great music and plenty of energy. Saturday November 28th at 8pm.

Two very different performances, but both sound like a treat for jazz lovers!

Both shows are proudly sponsored by Jazz 91 KCSM.

Doppio Zero Opens in Livermore NEXT Week!

Livermore’s Blacksmith Square in downtown is about to get a new restaurant! Doppio Zero is opening on Tuesday November 17th and is offering complimentary pizza & pasta samples with live music and more!
