The value of Dublin Ranch homes, whether they be single-family homes, or condos and townhomes have stabilized for the time being. That’s good news. The concern is how long that change is going to be around… It’s true, there are a LOT more loans that are in default right now than are actually being foreclosed.

As more and more owners of Dublin Ranch condos and townhouses put their properties on the market to take advantage of the recently developed seller’s market, we’ve begun to see a relatively stable inventory develop. Since April of 2009 there have been two to three months of inventory on the market.
