The real estate market in pinole for 2013 will be a repeat of 2012 and if you are a homeowner, that's a good thing. Value was up 10% in Pinole last year. Rates will remain historically low although they are predicted to inch up into the high 3's by the end of the year and something like 4.25% in 2014. Bank foreclosed homes or "REOs" will be parceled out slowly and sparingly in order to create a shortage of listings again this year and bump prices up. Cindy Wilson, La Maison Real Estate.
