Shapell Athena homes and crimeWe looked at Athena a number of times and love most of the floor plans.

I commuted from San Ramon to Milpitas for 5 years, almost an hour an half each way. That's 3 hours per day out of my life which I could have spent with my family, at the gym, with friends, etc... I moved to Fremont 8 months ago and I couldn't be happier, my qualify of life is so much better without the commute.
San Ramon is beautiful, it has great schools, and a diverse community. But like many others have suggested, if you love Cupertino and it meets your life style needs, then why move to San Ramon. Talk to your family, weigh out the pros/cons. Finally talk to Realtors in both Cities.
Best Wishes.

Hawkeye: Checking in with you from the financing side (watching from the inside out).
Should a RE agent charge you by the hour, you would be paying way more than the 3% commissiona offered by the seller.
A great agent makes it appear to you, the buyer, that all they doing is popping you in the car, showing you a few homes, writing the offer, getting it accepted, closing the transaction and getting paid big bucks.
That is a great agent: making it look easy. When really, behind the scenes, they are working hard for you. And even harder to not let you see how difficult it really is for them.
Before they ever get you in the car, they are researching your crieteria. Filetering out the properties that may have negative implications (freeway noise whatever). Experience in thier neighborhoods and towns make it so they know which schools work for you or work for future home selling.
There is coordinating with title company, financing company (these days the short sale or reo departments).
There is so much more going into your transaction than what you get to see. Because someone professional is there doing the footwork and has got your back.
Unfortunately, there are companies out there that have marketed themselves as your paying very little to the agent and do all the work yourself, but that puts a TON of burden on the rest of the players in the transaction. Another professional has to pick up the slack to help out the buyer or seller who has chosen to "do the work themselves".
If you are chosing to sell this way...most professionals will try to avoid your listing.
If you are choosing to buy this way, you are setting yourself up to fall into pitfalls that you are not even aware could be coming your way.
As I say, you would not choose the cheapest cardiac or brain surgeon, you would want the one who was most educated, well proven and worth their weight in gold. You should want the same in the professional who is going to be guiding you through probably the largest investment you will ever be making in you life.
Just my opinion....:)... more

"Has the downward pressure on prices and foreclosures resolved at this point and would we be able to sell a home we purchased in San Ramon if needed?"
I agree with the comments below and specifically agree with Ron's advice to "go with the house"; provided a true downtown is a "take it or leave it" requirement.
Since schools will be important for you I suggest you take a peek at www.SchoolAndHousing.com
Based on property address, this site provides attendance area schools (Public, Private and Daycares) along with useful statistics and other information. Before making an offer you should call the School District to CONFIRM the schools the property will feed to!
Ask your Agent to provide you the statistics for Pleasanton and San Ramon as far as the foreclosure pipeline.

Can anyone update their opinions on San Ramon for new arrivers from out of state (most of these posts are from 2009)? Has the downward pressure on prices and foreclosures resolved at this point and would we be able to sell a home we purchased in San Ramon if needed?
We have three children under six that will be starting 1st grade soon, and need to commute to San Leandro and Fremont for work? We are debating between San Ramon and Pleasanton. Thanks in advance!... more
