Piedmont CA Real Estate Agent Broker Anian Tunney Enthusiastic about Latest Jobs Report
Piedmont, CA (PRWEB) December 17, 2014 -- On December 5th, the National Association of Realtors® (NAR) posted a summary of the latest jobs report. With 321,000 new payroll jobs created in November and an overall wage increase of 2.2% from a year ago, experts expect a jump in home sales and commercial leasing activity in the coming year.
“Increased employment and higher salaries is great news for the economy,” commented Anian Tunney, Piedmont, CA real estate agent broker. “This is especially good for real estate because more people can increase their savings, improve their credit, and generally prepare themselves to either enter or move up in the market.”
Commercial real estate transactions should also increase as businesses grow out of their current accommodations.
“The real negative to the report is the lack of construction workers,” noted Tunney. As a job growth center, the San Francisco Bay Area is experiencing a housing shortage, in part because there are not enough contractors to keep up with the demand. “As a well-established area, there is not much room for new construction,” Tunney pointed out about her high-end portion of the area; however, “new construction regionally will continue to boost the economy for Piedmont specifically and the Bay Area as a whole.”
“New construction is selling, and I think younger home buyers tend to prefer it,” continued Tunney. “Older homes, such as in Piedmont, can intimidate buyers with their price tag as well as their tendency to need a little extra care and maintenance.”
Tunney makes a valid point, as many homes for sale in Piedmont, such as 6 King Avenue – offered at $4,200,000 – date back to the 1920s. No matter what, those houses will need something replaced before a home built in this decade.
