A Real Estate Forecast from a Beverly Hills Realtor: Endre Barath, Jr.... First up, in case you missed it, the Federal Reserve raised the interest rates by .25 % making it more challenging to secure a loan. Since Borrowers will have even more stringent terms (in addition to the higher interest rates) all this points to less loans, thus fewer home buyers.  Let's add to this mix the shortage of Spring housing inventory; what does this mean for the Real Estate Market? We are already at 6.55% which makes ‘affordability’ difficult; add the recent rate hike to this and the difficulty of buying a home only becomes harder to achieve than before. By having less sellers and buyers does not accomplish what the Fed claims it is trying to achieve. They are attempting to slow down price increases fo... 05/04/2023

Real Estate Market Observations by a Beverly Hills Realtor, Endre Barath, Jr.  Depending upon location and price point of your new home search in the Greater Los Angeles area, it could very well feel as if it is a seller’s market. This is strictly due to the simple economic principle of Supply and Demand - when there are more buyers than listings, that is what happens.  Let's not forget to add to the mix that when interest rates drop, more buyers can afford to buy based on their income.   Clearly buyers are closely watching, and when a well-priced home comes on the market, the savvy buyer jumps on it right away. What types of homes are quickly selling? The answer is relatively easy when you think about it.   The house that is well staged, well priced and appears "move in ready" is typic... 04/18/2023

I have said this before, and I will say it again.:"...The unexamined life is not worth living..." Socrates (in case you are not familiar with the name, a philosopher said this 5 centuries before Christ was born.)"...If someone can prove me wrong and show me my mistake in any thought or action. I shall gladly change.  I seek the truth, which never harmed anyone:  the harm is to persist in one's own self-deception and ignorance..." Marcus Aurelius a Roman Emperor and Philosopher I read and follow every day of my life.".... actively seek new ideas and experiences: open your mind. Try doing things you've never done before, sample food you 've never eaten, go place you've never seen..."    Tom Hopkins   one of my favorite sales motivate strategies and techniques advisors,   Wishing you a saf... 04/03/2023

This post was inspired by Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP  & Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist  for the Active Rain Challenge for the month of March.  Notarizing a Grant Deed - no big deal, right?   Of course not, provided you live in the United States that is.  As many of you know, I have had quite a few sellers over the years who were living in different parts of the world, and not just the United States. They would have to make an appointment at the American Embassy and spend about $100 or so USD to have the Grant Deed notarized by the resident American Consul. I happened to be in the midst of a not-so-simple land sale, nor was it an all-cash transaction. The seller was Canadian, the buyer had a land loan, and there was a time constraint involved in getting the Grant De... 03/11/2023

This week has been a bit challenging to say the least, as we celebrated International Women's Day to commemorate the achievements and advancements of women around the globe lot of other things have happened.  The Job Reports came out and it overshadowed the fact that March is also Women's History Month. All that said, all eyes were on the jobs report on Friday morning.  It would have taken a shocking event such as a massive natural disaster, a major military escalation involving the U.S. to overshadow these numbers since they control Interest rates.Well go figure there was something that would overshadow this very important number, just to be clear and go further, we had something we have not had since 2008 a Bank failure.Now keep in mind this was a high-profile bank failure.  While Sil... 03/10/2023

I have noticed how Equity Investors are pulling back on the Commercial sector as the return expectation is fading. This is all the result of higher interest rates and of course the concern of potential recession.This assessment is sadly spot on, as my business is mostly residential, with some Commercial land, I focus not only on what is going on in the Residential Real Estate Market, but what goes on in the various commercial real estate activities as well.Well, what I have noticed is that lenders are more conservative when it comes to commercial deals. Generally speaking, the traditional real estate debt sources, such as banks and life insurance companies have decreased the leverage due to rising in interest rates and softening of economic conditions.This should clearly be a concern to... 03/07/2023
