Happy New Year and I hope you and your family had a great holiday.
Spring is already off to a better start than a year ago. December 2023 sales (-6% to 2023) and you will see that earlier in the year we were seeing monthly unit sales -20-30%. In Q4 2023, we saw this slow and business remained strong.
Buyer's looking to find deals are shopping sooner in the season so there is less competition.
Sellers working with strong agents are timing their properties' sales with the height of the Spring or Fall Market to take advantage of more buyers being active.
You are invited to a great local market overview (see below for zoom registration details) put on by my amazing management team. This is free to you and will give you additional valuable market data.
Insurance increases for all Californians (regardless of where they live) are upon us largely due to a number of known factors (fires and other natural disasters that have hit CA over the past 5 years). Reach out to me for more information or if you need insurance resources to shop for options.
Stay warm and dry and have a great month.
I am Simon Black, I always call back!
