Seller's Tip: No Need to Wait for Spring to List Your Home, This is Southern California!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Charlemagne International Properties BRE# 01147470

Leave the winter mindset behind, after all this is Southern California.  The freezing temperatures and snowy slopes are tucked away in the mountain resorts, and our coastal area is enjoying some very balmy Los Angeles days of 70+ degrees.  January or June, it does not really matter when you elect to place your property on the market in Southern California.

 

The timing of your sale is all about you, your schedule, your plans and needs.  One of the advantages of living in Southern California is your decision to list and sell does not have to be based on the weather or the calendar.  Photos rarely reveal the season, buyers search for homes all year and the worst weather we have to contend with is a rainy day now and then.

 

One condition you may want to check before you list is the local real estate climate.  For an update on market conditions in Palos Verdes check out my 2009 PV market review.

 

Yes, it is true;  462 Single Family Homes sold in Palos Verdes in 2009.  With only 183 Single Family Homes on the market as we begin 2010, the market conditions appear as favorable as our famous weather.

Yes, I paused blogging long enough to admire an incredibly beautiful sunrise, and was inspired to write this post as I watched and anticipated another beautiful day. 

 Edward and Celia thank you for your comment.

Norma, you are right about that.  No really bad weather conditions (knock on wood) (lol) to stop OUR real estate market.  Ooh, I hope I didn't speak too soon.  It may sprinkle this afternoon.
