Aman Daro has become a regular on the podcast, and with good reason. If you've ever received statistical charts from me or any Red Oak Realty agent showing aspects of the real estate market in the East Bay most likely they were conceived of and compiled by Aman Daro. Aman Daro is COO at Red Oak Realty but is more fondly thought of as "the data guy".
We invite you to follow along with our chat, a conversation around the 2023 Q3 East Bay Stats Report released a couple of week ago by Red Oak Realty, by viewing the 91 page report here as we highlight specific page numbers. Yes! It's an interactive live podcast!
If you follow the podcast episodes with Aman what emerges is the story of the East Bay real estate market. In our last chat we speculated that the theme of 2023 would be low inventory. That definitely has been the case. But there's so much more.
I encourage you to listen to episode #5 of the podcast, my first conversation with Aman, to better understand his mission at Red Oak Realty and his approach to tracking data and uncovering market trends.
