Oakland Real Estate

Hello and welcome to OaklandHomeSpecialist.com. I'm Hamid Grinage with Better Homes and Gardens-Mason McDuffie Real Estate, and I'm here to assist you with all of your real estate needs in Oakland and the surrounding East Bay Area.

Here you can search for Oakland homes in many different ways, including by District using the links in the "Communities" tab above as well as the links below. You can search for real estate, request a private showing of any home(s) you are interested in, and get in depth info on neighborhood demographics and market trends. One of the newest features of this site is the ability to use Google's "Streetview" technology with any listing you see, which allows you to see an actual image from the perspective of standing directly in front of the home. This site is automatically updated with new listings and price changes every 24 hours, more often than most other property search engines available to the public. MLS listings that are pending sale will not be displayed.

Oakland is leading the Nation's housing recovery according to the National Association of Realtors. On average, Oakland real estate is selling faster compared to any other City in the Country. Multiple offer situations are becoming the norm, as our inventory is historically low. We are moving back in the direction of a sellers market, compared to the buyers market of the previous several years. This is great news for sellers, however it means that as a buyer you will face more competition when making offers.

Is your house "Underwater"?

If you are already a homeowner and you owe more on your home than it is currently worth, you should know that you have options. Contact me for a free report on the 7 options that you have if you are in this situation. Statistic: 50% of all those who get foreclosed on never talk to a real estate professional, they didn't know that they had options that were much better than foreclosure.
