In my humble opinion, Central San Ramon represents one of the best buy opportunities for real estate in the 680 Corridor. I’m not talking fix and flip or short term hold.

Central San Ramon, the area bordered by Montevideo to the north, the Iron Horse Trail to the east, Pine Valley to the south and Tarryington to the west is an area that we feel will see a great deal of appreciation in value from 2010 to 2015.

A little far off in the future you say? Not really if you consider the elements involved in this perfect storm of opportunity.

• City Center Project – The completion of the San Ramon City Center Project is going to make real estate in central San Ramon very desirable. It will be close to downtown and allow access without having to come down Bollinger Canyon Road from the Dougherty Valley.
• From this area in San Ramon, you can access 680 without going through the new City Center or Bishop Ranch.
• The schools in central San Ramon are highly rated and desirable. All of them have adjacent parks. Cal High and Pine Valley Middle School are having major upgrades.
• There are some very nice-sized lots in central San Ramon. The houses in this area are well-suited to a major upgrade. Many houses in the area have seen additions in excess of 1000 square feet. Adding an extensive addition along with modern upgrades gets you a modern house in a well established neighborhood, with good schools, a large lot AND a lower tax rate.
• Lumber Prices are falling and contractors are hurting for business making this an ideal time for a major remodel.
• Central San Ramon represents some of the lowest priced single family housing in San Ramon. This end of the market is feeling the downward pricing effect of of the current real estate market than the upper end of the market – making this a perfect time to find a great deal on a home.
• Great blend of neighbor demographics. Central San Ramon, because it is a well established neighborhood, provides a great mix of neighbors – everything from 30–year residents to young professional couples just starting their family.

Today, Central San Ramon represents an unique opportunity for forward-thinking families looking to maximize their investment for the long term. Ten years from now many people will be reflecting on how they – coulda, shoulda,  woulda.

Twelve to eighteen months from now some people are going to realize that the remodel they have been dreaming of, would have been 15% to 30% less expensive if they had taken advantage of the perfect storm opportunity.

Two other notes on San Ramon:

• A recent editorial comment by Aaron in the Contra Costa Times – I lived in San Ramon for a few years and that water is great. they should bottle it and sell it to Pleasanton.
• Garage Sales and Temp Storage Units may face regulation
