Living in Contra Costa County

Discovery Bay Deep Water Dock Homes – January 2012 is the Time to Buy!

Deep Water Dock Homes are the most popular homes in Discovery Bay and honestly it is Deep Water that makes Discovery Bay into Discovery Bay. Deep Water Dock Homes provide water front living for year around recreation including, boating, fishing, water skiing, swimming and much more.

Discovery Bay provides many other amenities, including Golf Course Homes and Gated Communities.

Although Discovery Bay Living offers both Vacation Homes and Year Round Living I find it odd that people prefer to buy their Deep Water Dock Home in the Summer rather than grab a bargain in the Winter and have the home ready for fun when the weather gets warmer.

Although Discovery Bay Homes are eclectic in nature with a wide range of prices. Relatively small numbers of sales make it hard to discern patterns; but from this chart one thing is clear – sales drop off in the Fall and in the Winter – making those excellent times to buy.

Discovery Bay Deep Water Dock Homes

An interesting court ruling just came down in regard to Deep Water Dock Homes.  The ruling was actually a case coming out of a dispute in Bethel Island, but most of our Deep Water Dock Homes in this area are in Discovery Bay.

Traditionally the easement to use water for docks and piers on a Deep Water Dock Home has run 90 Degrees out from where the property line hits the shore.  However, when there is a bend on the shore line this creates on overlap of the easements.  The court has ruled that the easement line will be the middle of the disputed area.

The picture below shows two Deep Water Dock Homes with overlapping easements.  The dotted line in the center is the new easement line.

Here is this months Discovery Bay Market Report. These figures were pulled from the MLS on July 13th & 14th and are for Single Family Homes only. There are some slight differences in the Sold properties for May in this months report and Last Months Report Due to late reporting.

Prices in Discovery Bay are heading up sharply with a 13% price increase in one month based on sales price per SF. Similar increases are in effect for the sub category of Deep Water Dock Homes. Discovery Bay has a number of eclectic communities and homes. Due to the relatively small number of homes sales it is subject to extreme price swings, but there is a decided up swing in prices. The number of bank owned homes on the market has increased from 10 to 16. There is about a 2 month supply of homes.  At this time last year there were more than 60 Deep Water Dock homes for sale in Discovery Bay.

I have stated before that when we get through the Bank Owned Home sales there will be a sharp increase in prices. However, there are different rumors about and we may have another glut of Bank Owned Properties coming onto the market.

This is a wise time to invest in housing and I have recently started a series of blog post on investing. You may wish to read it.

If you are Living in Discovery Bay, Ca you might discover some extra value in your Discovery Bay Home. If you want to Buy a Home in Discovery Bay Ca, now may be the time to do so. This month’s market report is based on Single Family Homes pulled from the MLS on June 12, 2009.

As I have noted in past reports the market has been firming up and now it has turned. The sold priced have gone up over 10% in one month. This is based on the figure I think is most important; price per Square Foot (SF). This may be a temporary trend. The housing supply on the market is a little over 2 months.

Some of these numbers for Discovery Bay may be skewed by the limited number of home sales and the high value of some of the homes for sale and sold. Discovery Bay is an eclectic community with many neighborhoods and home styles, offering an extreme diversity in home prices.

If you have any other questions about the market or need a more detailed market report for any area please let me know.
