Hi-
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, or I hope you had a Happy Hanukkah…What every you and your family celebrate(d), make the most of this time.
It is the Holiday Season and a Beautiful New Year is around the corner. We only have one chance to make the best of each day throughout the year.
I want to say Thank You to EVERYONE! You continue to support me. Your business, Your Friendship, Your Referrals and Your Comments and Reviews On-Line. I am listed a home this week. The seller is in the bay area in California. We started to talk on Sunday and quite honestly she said, “I researched your sales, read what people have written about you and trust you to sell my home.” That is from You All. Thank You!
I am Very Grateful for You and Your Support. I want to take this Holiday Issue to tell you so!
OK, back to business….
Thanks for tuning in. Please see the link below for my November report. In that I broke down where the buyers and sellers are coming from that I am dealing with. I think you will find it interesting.
Here are the most important points.
- Inventory is up, but that is seasonal. We have the same inventory as October 2005, but lower demand. Our inventory is 1/3 of during the crash.
- On Average prices are up. But there are 2 factors here. First, product mix. Less lower priced homes selling. Second, homes are being fixed up and sold for a higher price. I showed a home last week. It was $450k. Same closed at $450k and $575k. The higher priced home had a full facelift.
- All this shit going on across the world is keeping Interest Rates Lower.
- Last, timing a market is impossible. A Realtor sent out an email last January calling for High rates causing price drops. WRONG!
