    What NOT To Do Before Buying a Home in Oakland – First Time Buyer Tips

    BySusie Wyshak August 10, 2022February 16, 2026

    With a never ending list of everything you ‘should do’ when purchasing a home, it seems counterproductive to focus on what you should not do. But being aware of the dont’s is just as important as the do’s, when it comes to making the biggest financial investment of your life.

    Is that low house price for real? (“It’s in my budget!”) Berkeley and Oakland house hunters are all too familiar with house listings at prices that seem too good to be true. They often are! The East Bay has a long-time tradition of pricing homes for sale low to attract attention and drive the selling…

When I first visited 84 Templar Place, it struck me how far away it felt. The chirping birds agreed!

This 3+ bedroom, 2-bath home is tucked at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac that's minutes from 13,  Montclair Village, Lake Temescal, Piedmont Ave, and Rockridge shops and dining. 

Move-in ready with fresh updates, a flexible layout, and a large landscaped lot featuring a new deck, side yard, and VERY cool bonus building  you have to see.

That bonus space has been used as an office and would be a great gym or craft workshop. How will you use it?

Come visit to explore the possibilities and message for details or a private tour!

At the Bay Area ADU Expo, I interviewed 3 companies in the tiny home and ADU space to hear what they're up to. There are lots more making flat-packed modular, pre-fab that get craned in, and of course custom builders. 

Check out my post with a few other companies who were at the expo: https://susiewyshak.com/bay-area-pre-fab-adu-vendors/
