beverly hills berkshire hathaway realtor endre barath: Monday Motivation: inspiration by Marcus Aurelius
- 01/13/25 11:26 PM
As we wake up every morning hearing, reading and watching the Pacific Palisades fires, my advice is that we should be focusing on not what we lost or what others lost. Instead, we should be thinking and saying “…what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love …” Marcus Aurelius So, with that said let me share a few more quotes from one of my favorite philosophers. "You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength." Marcus Aurelius "The best answer to anger is silence." Marcus Aurelius "Stay calm and serene regardless of

beverly hills berkshire hathaway realtor endre barath: Market Snapshot of the Beverly Hills, CA real estate activity...
- 12/07/24 08:49 PM
This week the median list price for Beverly Hills, CA 90210 is $8,495,000 with the market action index hovering around 27. This is an increase over last month's market action index of 26. Inventory has decreased to 177. As most of you who read my posts know I love Altos Research and get their updates daily. Hence rest assured these are current data as of today. The market shows signs of warming up, with sales demand recently increasing faster than inventory. Prices have not yet responded as the market is still working through excess inventory. It’s unlikely that we’ll see prices level

beverly hills berkshire hathaway realtor endre barath: Beverly Hills, CA 90210 Sat Sep 21 2024 Market Snapshot...
- 09/21/24 09:17 PM
Beverly Hills, CA 90210 Sat Sep 21, 2024, Market Snapshot... often I get asked by potential buyers, sellers and out of area agents: How is the Market? My standard answer is, let me check it out for you and that way I can give you the best answer as of today. Too often I find that the market changes day to day, week to week. Real Estate as far as I am concerned tends to have a herd mentality. There are times when everyone is buying and there are times when the majority sit on the fence. Needless to say, the savvy buyers

California Rent Control Update: AB 1482 went into effect on August 1st. Sadly we have all had many distractions, such as all the changes to the way we will be conducting Real Estate business officially starting today. Now with that said that is a post for another day. The California Tenant Protection Act of 2019 or better known as Assembly Bill 1482 or just AB 1482 created a statewide rent control as of January 2020. Hence you might say why am I just posting about it? Well as of August 1st a new rent increase cap took effect. Now with that said let

Diane and I have a private joke, that I work for Taxes, the Vets, food and wine.... there are times I do referrals other times I just work for wine. Well this bottle was a gift from another Realtor for the help I provided her without wanting a referral fee, just a good bottle of wine. Well since Diane was away with her girlfriend of 40+ years ago in Laguna Beach I rewarded myself the past two nights with this wonderful Bordeaux wine. Needless to say, if you can afford it, then make sure you buy it and drink it, it's worth every

Marketing, Visibility is so important, not just in Real Estate... I am a huge fan of good marketing. Not just in Real Estate but in all products. If you recall I did a blog post about a fantastic pickle that we saw on a main road between Marina del Rey and Los Angeles International Airport as in LAX. I am a fan of it and support the product. Now with that said the other day I had to go pick up our Jill from ASAC the Vets Specialty Group... Diane was already there my job was to get Jill home. Now with

beverly hills berkshire hathaway realtor endre barath: What are your thoughts about pocket listings or not in the MLS?..
- 03/14/24 10:29 PM
There are times when sellers do not want to have the property listed and marketed in the MLS. I am not a fan of it. I believe the more eyes see it on the various platforms the odds are better we get an offer sooner. Then there are times I focus and try to convince my sellers to list it on all the platforms. The only time I like it being not in the MLS when I am trying to cool a property and bring it back as new. What are your thoughts? Inquiring minds want to know. Wishing you a safe and healthy

beverly hills berkshire hathaway realtor endre barath: Observations by a Beverly Hills Realtor: Endre Barath, Jr.
- 02/09/24 08:44 PM
The short month of February is already approaching double digits and I thought I should send out my monthly observations. All of us in the greater Los Angeles area were focused on the Atmospheric River four-day rainstorm that deluged us earlier this week. I hope that all of you reading this market observation post were safe and that your homes survived without damage. I have had inquiries if I knew of any roofers. Obviously, those in the roofing business are likely very busy right now or will be once winter is officially behind us. On a positive note, just like last

beverly hills berkshire hathaway realtor endre barath: Observations by a Beverly Hills Realtor about the Real Estate Market...
- 10/03/23 09:22 PM
Welcome Fall! As we open the month of October, it remains critical to navigate the current real estate activity. Indeed, there have been enormous fluctuations over the past year in both the commercial and residential sectors of the real estate market. When we analyze real estate, the seasonal effect is always a factor to be considered. Customarily, there are fewer buyers and sellers from October to the end of the year due to various holidays and, in some areas of the country, weather. And now we can add into that interest rates being at a 20+ year high at the mid- 7% range.

beverly hills berkshire hathaway realtor endre barath: What are you making for dinner tonight?
- 09/09/23 09:47 PM
What are you making for dinner tonight? Diane asked as we were driving home from Pasadena? Needless to say we were both hungry heading back from Vroman's Bookstore. So the conversation turned to would you like Peruvian Scallops? She wondered if I had some fresh ones and broke the news that they were frozen. The next question was would you like rice or pasta? Funny question why ask an Italian pasta or rice. Well, you guessed it was pasta. I did not have pre-made sauce, so I had to scramble and only spent two hours reducing the sauce and adding leftover caramelized

beverly hills berkshire hathaway realtor endre barath: How to keep business flowing in any Real Estate Market?
- 08/18/23 09:40 PM
This question is on top of every real estate agent's mind, more so today than pre-Pandemic days.... How many real estate agents are there in Los Angeles? Depending on who you ask, the numbers vary. According to one source, there are 43,611; another states there are 25,813 (that's a fairly significant difference in my opinion). You get the idea. For the sake of argument, let’s just say that even if there are only 20,000 real estate agents in Los Angeles, that is still a lot of agents. To put this in a different perspective, I researched the greater Los Angeles area -
