Welcome December 2024! The Holiday season is in full swing...

By
Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties 01238708
Welcome December! The Holiday season is certainly in full swing with no time to stop, as we just celebrated Thanksgiving 3 days ago.  
www.endrebarath.com
 As we close out 2024, real estate remains active.  Buyers and sellers are poised to make their move, optimistic that the economy will improve, interest rates will settle in somewhere between 5% - 6%, and home prices will increase at the normal 2% - 3% annual rate as it has been over the past 40 years.  Inquiries on my listings continue with potential buyers even asking if I have any homes for sale not in the MLS (pocket listings).  My current inventory is primarily vacant land listings as well as a fantastic lease opportunity - reach out to me for details on any of these! 
If you are considering selling, be it a condominium or single-family residence, or if you are contemplating downsizing a larger real estate investment, this is a good time.  Keep in mind that portfolio buyers are also looking for income properties.  Like most of us, some potential sellers are busy with Holiday festivities and preparations so you may have a bit less competition with other sellers. Like I always say, the serious Buyers are always out there.
Alternatively, reach out to me if you're interested in a personalized market analysis.  I'd be happy to give you honest information on how the market is in your specific neighborhood and the value of your specific home. 
If we do not connect, I wish you a happy holiday season filled with family and friends over Christmas, Hanukkah and the new year!

I've seen an increase in calls within the last couple of months, too, and have a few in the pipeline. I am not sure how it's December again - already! It feels like we just celebrated New Year's the other week.

Endre Barath, Jr. at some point people who can't make a decision make me a bit crazy. I'm very decisive and my attitude is do or don't do.

Good morning chef Endre,

It is indeed hard to realize that it is now December and Christmas is right around the corner. Busy month for everyone since Thanksgiving was later this year! Inventory is down in many areas but talking to sellers who want to come on mid -January after their company leaves from the holiday!! LOL!
