Rising Market in Sacramento Real Estate is Not Slowing

By
Real Estate Agent with Elizabeth Anne Weintraub, Broker DRE #00697006

There are many buyers in Sacramento who, having zero experience in real estate, think they know exactly what will happen in our market place. They don't own a home. Not even sure if they want to. But they surely possess a lot of opinions and ideas. The one you hear batted about the most is about the market crashing, because it fell once you know. It bombed. So it could happen again. Except it's not.

We don't have the same economic conditions. Almost every homeowner has equity, except a few hard-money lenders left holding the short straw. About 20% of our transactions are cash. And prices continue to rise. You can read more in my personal blog today and see the whole story at this link: The Shock of 12 Months: April 2018 Sacramento Real Estate Market.

Elizabeth, I heard this from a first time buyer the other day --- we are waiting until the market crashes again.  Well, you will be waiting quite a while!

That's the tough part for a buyers agent to try to explain to their client that maybe not everything on their wish list can be satisfied. Plus, wait another year, and they can then afford even less of a house. Real estate is in cycles, but another crash like we had 10 years ago? I don't have a crystal ball but it isn't going to happen in the next year or so. So keep renting, it pays the mortgage for someone else whose equity will go up.

Joan Cox Yet, if you ask them to point to any credible source, ANY CREDIBLE stats, they can't do it. Well, maybe some website the Russians run.

Hella M. Rothwell, Broker/Realtor® Except if the buyer's agent had done that to start with and educated the client, they wouldn't be saying such goofy stuff. You don't need a crystal ball to predict what is happening. Low # homes in inventory, higher interest rates, fewer sales, higher prices. There is nothing to indicate a big uptick in inventory.

Hi Elizabeth- the right time to buy a house is when you're ready to buy a house. Just like the stock market, you can't always tell what will go up or down.
