Lamorinda Sees Effects of Rising
GLOBAL AFFLUENCE By Kimberly Gomes
Wealth is surging in today’s global economy. From the United States and the U.K. to India and China, the world’s affluence grew by 8.3% from 2013 to 2014, bringing global wealth to $263 trillion, according to the Credit Suisse Global Wealth Report. Mid-peninsula residents have witnessed this wealth first hand with record-high home prices spanning from Lamorinda to Silicon Valley. While cash buyers from China have become significant players in the midpeninsula real estate market, local wealth is also a heavy contender. Silicon Valley harbors 56 billionaires, and San Francisco houses 20 on its own. Not to mention the hundreds of millionaires between and beyond the two regions. In the Bay Area’s hub of technological innovation, many stock options have matured, enabling local residents to make cash offers on homes, as well. Realtors throughout Walnut Creek and Lamorinda have extended conciergelike service to high-end buyers seeking property in the Bay Area. Over the past two years the region has seen a large increase in non-US Buyers often coming in with all cash offers. “Believe it or not, the top four countries interested in San Francisco Bay Area real estate are: Canada, China, United Kingdom, and France. In the East Bay the ranking is different with the Chinese buyers being most common, then buyers with their heritage from India, and buyers from the Middle East third,” says Jim Walberg, Realtor and founding partner of Pacific Union’s The Bay Area Team. China is currently a primary focus among luxury international Realtors given the country’s local interest and rising capital. China’s national wealth increased by $791 billion in 2014.
“[The Bay Area] is one of the safest places to ‘park money,’” says Walberg. “Often our non-US buyers may not even live in the home, or just use it as a vacation home when visiting the United States.” Upon arriving to the mid-peninsula, high-end services like Walberg’s Bay Area team offer a personalized, concierge service, helping foreign nationals get settled. As long-time locals the team becomes a helpful resource for a range of needs including: schools, doctors, dentists; shopping options, grocery stores, restaurants; transportation, parks, and any other topics pertaining to quality

Coming Soon! Once upon a time there was a family who wanted to settle in Orinda. They bought an undeveloped acre of land for $100, where they planned to build their home and raise their children. Since the lot backed to the Lafayette Reservoir Rim Trail, the children would have an extended yard and hills to roam. In 1952 the home was completed and the family moved in. The family admired & enjoyed nature, birds, gardening and had several other wonderful hobbies. Over the years, the gardens grew and were filled with wisteria, rhododendrons, fruit trees, and tall birch overhanging brick patios. The home features 4 bdrms, 2 baths, in 1772 sq.ft. on a .98 acre lot. Classic Ranch style living room with open beam ceilings, hardwood floors, wood fireplace, pine kitchen cabinets, & hand painted Dutch back door. With some TLC this
