SALLAT PERRY GROUP

As a team, Estela and Michael o!er their clients a rare blend of local expertise and global perspective. Estela brings a rich background in international business and a multilingual fluency that helps clients navigate transactions with ease whether they’re moving across the street or across the world. Michael, a Berkeley native with deep roots in the East Bay, o!ers unmatched local knowledge and a steady, strategic approach shaped by 25 years of leadership experience. Together, they bring a balance of insight, communication, and grit that ensures no detail is overlooked and no opportunity missed. Clients working with Michael and Estela benefit from the power of two dedicated agents who operate as true partners; collaborating daily, sharing ideas, and working behind the scenes to make the process feel seamless. Their combined strengths allow them to stay one step ahead, offering high-touch service, honest guidance, and a deeply human approach to real estate. Whether buying, selling, or investing, clients can feel confident knowing they have a thoughtful, responsive, and highly capable team on their side.

Clarity starts with a closer look. Our Local Market Report examines home sales by neighborhood and property condition, giving you a more detailed view of what is selling and at what price. Each month, we review closed home sales across the communities we serve, examining property condition, buyer demand, and sales results. We then group homes by neighborhood and condition to help you compare properties with similar characteristics. These distinctions matter. A home needing substantial renovation can perform very differently from a move-inready home nearby. Looking at them separately provides context that a single neighborhood average can miss. Use this report to explore how condition relates to sale price, competition, and time on market to better understand the relationship between asking prices and final sales price. Our condition classifications reflect our initial professional judgment based on limited information. They are subjective assessments rather than a formal and extensive analysis. Deeper analysis comes with all of our client relationships.

FIXER: Homes needing substantial renovation, which may include extensive cosmetic work or structural repairs. The scope often exceeds what a typical buyer wants to undertake and may appeal to investors or buyers prepared for a major project.

DATED: Homes needing updates to features such as kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, landscaping, paint, etc. Buyers may account for the anticipated cost of these improvements when deciding price to offer.

TURNKEY: Homes in move-in-ready condition, requiring little or no immediate renovation or updating.

OPULENT: Properties whose size, luxury features, or configuration distinguish them from typical neighborhood homes. This category may include larger residences, high-end homes, properties with detached accessory dwelling units (ADUs), or two homes on one lot. It describes property characteristics rather than condition alone.

OFF MARKET: Homes sold without being publicly listed on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). This category describes how a property was marketed rather than its condition.
