@@msarizona657 Welcome to the Bay Area! Thanks for reaching out, I’m happy to help! Please email me at adam@adamdobrinich.com. I’d love to find some time for the three of us to chat so I can learn more about what your preferences are for a home.

@@lpsglitterpaws8536 I agree, I really like that area of San Ramon. Lots of character. I have clients and friends that live there and they love it.

Richmond has some great neighborhoods and we’ve seen a lot of people move there over the last few years. Have you thought about moving there?

Glad to hear you found the video useful! If I can answer any questions or assist with your home search once you get started please let me know. I can share some more in depth details about Dublin. I’m here to help just let me know how I can be of service to you.

I guess that depends on what someone considers expensive but rents have steadily gone up here, like everywhere else. But from folks that I’ve helped buy a home that were renting before said rents were pricey.

I hear Grass Valley is a nice place to live.

@livinginsfbayarea it's becoming crowded up here. It's highway 49 from Auburn to Grass Valley. It has afternoon traffic jam on a "Two Lane" highway. It's kinda hilarious to know we're this is going soon. Another disturbing thing up here. Compared to the Bay area In the Bay area, everybody has fences around their homes. They know their boundaries. People don't have fences and they don't know their boundaries. It's it's a subject up here, and you have to be careful what you do. Kinda primitive you might say.

Richmond has its good parts and bad (like most cities), but its also quietly become one of the faster growing cities in the East Bay. We've seen a lot of professionals who work in Oakland and San Francisco because of its affordability and its still on the BART line for easy transportation. Because of this we are seeing more and more areas of Richmond turning over which then attracts more people. In that direction there is also El Sobrante, Pinole and Hercules. A lot of people like these cities as well.

@@livinginsfbayareathey’re moving to Point Richmond, not Richmond. Big difference. You recommending Richmond are gonna cause a lot of people to get hurt.

@@tomevers6670 Doesn’t sound like you even read what the original commenter or myself even wrote.

There is some new construction. Not a lot but some. Mostly smaller developments. You can find 3bed 2bath houses in Concord from $700k and up. It just depends on the neighborhood and square footage you are looking for. If you are looking for that extra half bath making it a 2.5 bath, it will narrow the range of options.

I agree, Brian. There's a lot to like in Walnut Creek and the city does a great job for the community. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Much appreciated, Steve. And buying 20yrs ago...bravo! Great city as you describe and a mountain of equity. Congrats! Thank you for watching and the kind feedback.

Even 20 years ago, wouldn’t you still be paying at least $300K for a decent home? Not Gale Ranch, but an ordinary middle-class home.

Hi! Thanks for reaching out, that's exciting to hear that you are thinking about moving to Martinez. The best thing for us to do is connect for a call so I can understand a bit more about what you are looking for. Please email me at: adam@adamdobrinich.com and we can find some time to connect.

Sounds like it was rough time. I know lots of people (and clients) that have had a much different experience. I appreciate you watching the video and commenting again.

Nope.

Thank you @johnevoice. I'm such a big fan of Martinez as well. I actually have some additional videos for Martinez that I'm in the process of recording. Can't wait to get them uploaded here! Also, if you need any assistance selling, I'd love the opportunity to interview for the job!

I hear your point @flipkoofx1137. But Oakland also has some beautiful parts and tons of great culture and diversity.

Fremont is probably one of the biggest and prominent city in the east bay. I’m surprised it stayed out of your list.

I agree I lived in the Bay Area for over 40 years and Oakland is the only city that I tell people to avoid at all cost. Yes there are some good parts but that is where criminals target for burglaries and car thefts. I agree with Dublin and Lafayette for good cities to move to but the other cities have trash rating for schools and/or have high crime rate. If you pick Dublin then why not Livemore or Fremont? Fremont has great schools, low crime and has TWO BART stations. It is also close enough to commute to the South Bay and the Pennisula.

@@livinginsfbayareaI was born in Oakland and literally hate when I have to go there.

@@tomevers6670 sounds like a personal problem.

Thanks for watching, you offer up some great perspective here.

Thanks for your comment @KaiSosceles. Thats a great option to get around. It's one I didn't consider until you brought it up. And especially for some simple errands.

It definitely has grown a lot. Still has a lot of the same personality though.

Things be a changing in the creek since I moved in 2015.

What are the biggest changes you've noticed since 2015?

When do I say that Pittsburg isn't worth mentioning?? 🤔

You're just hearing things, caveman

Named in your family’s honor Sir. 😂 At least you get a city named after your surname, I have none. I’m jealous 😂

The footage is indeed of Martinez

Oh yes. The pics are Martinez (other than some freeway pics that I’m uncertain about).

Thanks for sharing your opinion. I happen to disagree. There's tons to like about Concord, and my clients and friends that live there really like what the city has to offer.

East Bay in general is bad.

Agreed

Hi Marylou - I'd be happy to. I'll put that together soon. Anything specific you are wanting to learn about or just the general area?

@@livinginsfbayarea just the town of Moraga. Thank you very much.

Great insight, Matthew. Thank you for including that transportation option! Cheers

I grew up here this is all true lmao.

​@@Knight_HorusI go to school and live here all true schools are really bad here lol
