Valley Marketing Association meeting today at Tommy T's in Pleasanton, CA. The association is comprised of Realtors, real estate agents, and other professionals associated with the real estate industry.

Today's meeting went smoothly except for someone spilling the beans abut my birthday and me having to stand on stage while a hundred people sang. If you know who ratted me out, let me know and I'll buy lunch!

As with the RMA meeting yesterday in San Ramon, this group from Pleasanton and Dublin, were much relieved to here that sexual offender, Daniel Duran, is behind bars. The bad news is that his bail is said to be around $6K so he may not be there long.

If you looked at our weekly MLS stats today, you know that the Danville market is heating up more than San Ramon, Dublin and Pleasanton. Studying the stats helps to emphasize that there are major differences in community real estate market trends.

Todays new listings included:

• 1089 Wesley Court #6, Walnut Creek
• 7776 Topaz Circle, Dublin
• 40530 Chapel Way, Freemont
• 23031 Kingsford Way, Hayward

String's Italian Cafe in Livermore, CA is for sale. Located in the Las Positas Center with high traffic exposure on Livermore Avenue and Las Positas. I think Dean Guadani should buy this one.
