homes: Election 2020 Is it time to sell? - Summit Real Estate Group
- 07/23/20 09:47 AM
Dear Family, Friends & Clients,
There are three main reasons that a home doesn’t sell within three months at this time. Two are avoidable and I can solve the third one. The number one reason by far is not listing the home at a price that will bring in the maximum number of highly qualified buyers. The second is not having a quality Virtual Tour and Photos. The third is not hiring an Experienced, Knowledgeable, Professional Local Realtor. We have been listing and selling homes since 1996. We know that reaching our fellow Realtors is the key to bringing in the most … (6 comments)

Our hope is for a V or U-Shaped-Recovery. Each day, week and month ahead will inevitably lead to significant changes. People returning to work, stay at home order ending and returning to a more normal and stable life will give all of us much needed … (1 comments)

homes: Are there troubled waters ahead?
- 03/31/20 09:39 AM
Dear Family, Friends & Clients, We are now in a recession and the hope is for a V-Shaped Recovery. This means that the economy goes down sharply and bounces back just as sharply. This is not a time to act out of fear but it is also a time to protect ourselves should things end up worse than hoped for or expected. Home ownership is highly desirable. There is no need to panic unless you are not able to make payments over the next six to eight months should you lose income or ability to pay your mortgage. This might be a … (4 comments)

- 10/13/18 05:36 PM
Family, Friends & Clients,
This past year has brought many significant changes to our local real estate market. Interest rates have risen by nearly 1% as the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen by as much as 3,800 points. Unemployment has dropped to as low as 3.7% and home prices in many areas are up as much as 10%.
Our local real estate market has taken a breather due to the rising interest rates and uncertainty with a potential trade war. The Stock Market has been turbulent and home affordability has continued to drop.
You might think that this indicates the bursting of a … (2 comments)

Dear Friends, Fanily & Clients,Halloween marks the beginning of the traditionally slowest real estate market of the year. The slow season run through the holidays until near the end of January or up to mid-February.

homes: What you need to know before renting a home in 2017
- 07/19/17 08:35 PM
Are you thinking of signing a lease rather than buying a home?
Stop!
Read this before signing on the dotted line!
Times have changed and the fear of a 40% market crash have all but disappeared. Fear of loss is outweighed by personal and financial benefits.
Why did the real estate market crash in 2006?
It was political and both parties were to blame. Democrats felt as though home ownership was the right of all Americans and Republicans went along with the idea. The government forced banks and lending institutions to lend out money. Creative financing was created. First came Interest Only Loans. Then came … (28 comments)

homes: What's Unique about real estate in the Fall?
- 09/25/16 08:47 AM
The Fall in Southern California is an incredible time in real estate due to the perfect storm. Sellers have reached the peak pricing for the year and buyers are able to purchase a home with less competition. This is that time of year when both parties are happiest with making a deal.
Selling a home and buying another at the same time is more beneficial at this time as well. The home they are selling, if priced and promoted properly, should sell in a timely manner. The home they hope to purchase will be much more apt to accept an offer … (1 comments)

homes: Will your decision today change the future?
- 03/20/16 04:11 AM
Spring of 2016 enters with a shortage of housing. Rising prices and the potential of the rise of interest rates will make it more difficult for first time buyers to compete for a home. Pent up demand with many buyers sitting on the fence continues to fuel the unlimited supply of buyers for the dwindling inventory. Compound this with the fact that Millennials, about 83.1 million, now outnumber Baby Boomers. The housing market has recovered since the start of the recession in 2006. However prices are still below the prices at the peak of the market. There are more qualified buyers … (2 comments)
