Yuba-Sutter Grapevine

     The last few weeks we have been listing marginally more homes each week than we have sold during that same week.  Not so last week!  Look at these numbers!

Another trend we are seeing is that the number of price reductions is decreasing.  Will this continue?  Only time will tell.  We hope so; that would indicate sellers are being better informed BEFORE they put their home on the market.

Another interesting pattern is that we continue to show better results than the nation as a whole!  We are even outperforming California’s numbers.  Our holiday slow-down was less, our prices have maintained, quality seems to be back.

Do you know what your home is worth in today’s market? 

Have other Real Estate questions?  Answers are only a click away: facebook, email, phone or text.  You ask, we answer; it really is that simple.  When you’re ready we’re here!

Many of us find the need to change our home as our family dynamics change.  A common challenge is the financial aspect.  The family has grown, more space is needed.  The budget has grown; more space is affordable.  But this home is not paid for!

One solution is called a “Contingency Sale”.  Although used successfully, this method has some draw-backs.  We’ll cover these in another article.  Of course, if you need this info NOW just click the Contact us button below.

Another, possibly better, method is now being offered by one of our lending partners.  If you are looking to buy a new home, then sell your current home, they have a loan just for you.  Look at this:

Inventory continues to be low.  In the past we figured a 3-4 month inventory to be normal.  At last week’s sales rate that would mean we should have an inventory of about 700 to 1000.  Our current inventory is FAR BELOW that number!

If you are thinking of selling…this is good news!  At least in part.  It does not mean you are likely to get an unreasonable price for your home;  you will get a FAIR price.  Buyers will be less likely to argue for unreasonably low prices because their selection is lower.

Fewer homes on the market means fewer homes LIKE YOURS are available.  This is important in a market where buyers are driven by need rather than looking for monetary gain from their home.  We think this is today’s market.

Your home will sell quicker!   Again, with fewer homes like yours on the market a buyer knows that not moving quickly may well mean someone else buys the home they want. Talk to your expert today.  Get the facts as they relate to YOU.  Call 530 315-2808.

Although still moving faster than the national average, real estate activity has slowed in our area.  We don’t see this as cause for alarm however; with the holidays approaching folks have family get-togethers and other things on their mind.

If you are thinking about buying this might be the ideal time for you.  Those who already have their home listed but haven’t sold could be more receptive to reasonable offers, especially if we could close before the main holiday season get here!
