Starting Saturday, temporary signs directing people to open houses or garage sales will be outlawed in much of Livermore, along with political signs. The city has banned the signs on public property such as sidewalks and medians, beginning July 1.
David Stark, a spokesperson for Bay East Association of Realtors, an advocacy group with more than 6,000 members, including in Livermore, pleaded for the city to suspend the ban and “go back to the drawing board.” “Believe it or not – even with all the high-tech mapping and navigation systems that are available to homebuyers – there’s a significant number of homebuyers who use real estate open-house signs to discover homes for sale,” he said. “Particularly in the current market where there is such low inventory and so few choices.”
