How East Contra Costa County actually prices
Countywide averages describe almost no individual house out here, which is why we price to the town and then to the street.
Across the county the approach is the same. What changes is who we market to, because a waterfront buyer and a new construction buyer are not the same person.
Buyers looking here almost always look at Brentwood, Antioch and Oakley as well. East Contra Costa County gets weighed against the rest of the Bay Area, on price per square foot and on commute.
What matters when you are selling your home
Our sellers describe it in their own reviews better than we can. One called it an aggressive marketing approach that got their home exposure to many buyers. Another had a buyer in five days at over list. Across the team there are 201 published reviews averaging 4.9 stars.
Your buyer may be coming from another East County town rather than from outside the county at all, which changes what your house is being compared against.
Putting a property into the MLS takes about twenty minutes and every licensed agent in this county can do it. If that were the job you would be right to hire whoever charges least.
The mistake to avoid in East Contra Costa County
The one we see most often here is assuming the county behaves as one market, which is how sellers underprice and buyers shop the wrong town.
The job is making sure that in the first seven to ten days your house is live, the people most likely to pay the most for it have seen it, presented properly. After that window a listing stops being new and becomes inventory. Price reductions follow. Buyers start asking what is wrong with it.
Who is buying in East Contra Costa County
People who need housing to go further than it does west, and are trading commute time to get it. You are looking at Brentwood, Antioch, Oakley, Discovery Bay, Pittsburg, Bay Point, Bethel Island, Byron and Knightsen.
