line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">Does the latest news about the housing market have you questioning your plans to sell your house? If so, perspective is key. Here are some explanations of the shift that’s happening today and why it’s still a seller's market even during the cooldown.</p><h4 style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; line-height: 22.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Fewer Homes for Sale than Pre-Pandemic</strong></h4><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">While the supply of homes available for sale has increased this year compared to last, we’re still nowhere near what’s considered a balanced market. A recent article from Calculated Risk helps put this year’s increased inventory into context (see graph below):<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /> </p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><img data-file-id="5670735" height="338" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bf0393af8b104aa28b3000810/images/bde90017-950f-0321-7b26-4474d5018e6f.png" style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; height: 338px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 480px;" width="480" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /> </p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">It shows supply this year has surpassed 2021 levels by over 30%. Compared to 2020, we’re just barely above the level of inventory we saw then. And if you go all the way back to 2019, the last "normal" year in real estate, we’re roughly 40% below the housing supply we had at that time.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Why does this matter?</strong> When inventory is low, there is still demand for homes because there just aren’t enough homes available for sale.</p><h4 style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; line-height: 22.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Homes Are Still Selling Faster Than More Normal Years</strong></h4><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">While homes aren’t selling as quickly as they did a few months ago, the average number of days on the market is still well below pre-pandemic norms – in large part because inventory is so low. The graph below uses data from the Realtor's Confidence Index by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) to illustrate this trend:</p><h1 style="color: #0067b1; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 2px; line-height: 36px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><img data-file-id="5670739" height="339" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bf0393af8b104aa28b3000810/images/f8a5c479-0465-6a50-1bfb-1b7453fb73f3.png" style="border: 0px; height: 339px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 480px;" width="480" /></span><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /> </h1><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">As the graph shows, the pre-pandemic numbers (shown in blue) are higher than the numbers we saw during the pandemic (shown in green). That’s because the average days on the market decreased as homes sold at record pace during the pandemic. Most recently, due to the cooldown in the housing market, the average days on the market have started to tick back up slightly (shown in orange) but are still far below the pre-pandemic norm.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">What does this mean for you?</strong> While it may not be as fast as it was a couple of months ago, homes are still selling much faster than they did in more normal, pre-pandemic years. And if priced right, homes still go under contract quickly.</p><h4 style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; line-height: 22.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Buyer Demand Has Moderated and Is Now in Line with More Typical Years</strong></h4><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">Buyer demand has softened this year in response to rising mortgage rates. But again, perspective is key. Getting 3-5 offers like sellers did during the pandemic isn’t the norm. The graph below uses data from NAR going back to 2018 to help tell the story of this shift over time (see graph below):<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /> </p><h1 style="color: #0067b1; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 2px; line-height: 36px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><img data-file-id="5670743" height="337" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bf0393af8b104aa28b3000810/images/e6b8b5f8-70e5-37e6-3b01-2f7c806df7d0.png" style="border: 0px; height: 337px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 480px;" width="480" /> </span></h1> <p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">Prior to the pandemic, it was typical for homes sold to see roughly 2-2.5 offers (shown in blue). As the market heated up during the pandemic, the average number of offers skyrocketed as record-low mortgage rates drove up demand (shown in green). But most recently, the number of offers on homes sold today (shown in orange) has started to return to pre-pandemic levels as the market cools from the frenzy.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">What’s the takeaway?</strong> Buyer demand has moderated from the pandemic peak, but it hasn’t disappeared. The buyers are still out there, and if you price your house at current market value, you’ll still be able sell your house today.</p><h3 style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 22.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Bottom Line</strong></h3><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">If you have questions about buying or selling your house in today’s market, talk to a trusted real estate professional. An agent can help provide context around what’s happening now, so you’re up to date on what you can expect when you’re ready to move.</p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse;

Low Housing Inventory Is Causing Home Prices To Rise</strong></h4><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">The supply of homes available for sale needed to sustain a normal real estate market is approximately six months. Anything more than that is an overabundance and will causes prices to depreciate. Anything less than that is a shortage and will lead to continued price appreciation.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">As the graph below shows, there were too many homes for sale from 2007 to 2010 (many of which were short sales and foreclosures), and that caused prices to tumble. Today, there’s still a shortage of inventory, which is causing ongoing home price appreciation.<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /> </p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><img data-file-id="5627283" height="295" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bf0393af8b104aa28b3000810/images/dde357c0-b3fe-cf58-f554-0c0f96ba6a97.jpg" style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; height: 295px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 400px;" width="400" /></p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">Inventory is nothing like the last time. Prices are rising because there’s a healthy demand for homeownership at the same time there’s a limited supply of homes for sale. Odeta Kushi, Deputy Chief Economist at <em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">First American, explains</em>:</p><blockquote style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"><p style="font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">“The fundamentals driving house price growth in the U.S. remain intact. . . . The demand for homes continues to exceed the supply of homes for sale, which is keeping house price growth high.”</em></p></blockquote><h4 style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; line-height: 22.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">2. Mortgage Lending Standards Today Are Nothing Like the Last Time</strong></h4><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">During the housing bubble, it was much easier to get a mortgage than it is today. Here’s a graph showing the mortgage volume issued to purchasers with a credit score less than 620 during the housing boom, and the subsequent volume in the years after:</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><img data-file-id="5627287" height="295" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bf0393af8b104aa28b3000810/images/30abaa7d-7fd6-6068-199e-b8b0f676e06e.jpg" style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; height: 295px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 400px;" width="400" /></p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">This graph helps show one element of why mortgage standards are nothing like they were the last time. Purchasers who acquired a mortgage over the last decade are much more qualified than they were in the years leading up to the crash. <em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Realtor.com notes</em>:</p><blockquote style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"><p style="font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">“<strong>. . . Lenders are giving mortgages only to the most qualified borrowers. </strong>These buyers are less likely to wind up in foreclosure.”</em></p></blockquote><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Bottom Line</strong></p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">A majority of experts agree we’re not in a housing bubble. That’s because home price growth is backed by strong housing market fundamentals and lending standards are much tighter today.</p><p data-testid="paragraph-0" style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px;

margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">If you’re thinking of buying or selling a house, you’re at an exciting decision point. And anytime you make a big decision like that, one thing you should always consider is timing. So, what does the rest of the year hold for the housing market? Here’s what experts have to say.</p><p data-testid="paragraph-0" style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><img data-file-id="5615707" height="270" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bf0393af8b104aa28b3000810/images/2cf917d9-3de0-894b-0921-9e9d55226433.jpeg" style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; height: 270px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 480px;" width="480" /></p><h4 style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; line-height: 22.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">The Number of Homes Available for Sale Is Likely To Grow</strong></h4><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">There are early signs housing inventory is starting to grow and experts say that should continue in the months ahead. According to Danielle Hale, Chief Economist at realtor.com:<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />“The gap between this year’s homes for sale and last year’s is one-fifth the size that it was at the beginning of the year. The catch up is likely to continue, . . . <strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">This growth will mean more options for shoppers than they’ve had in a while, even though inventory continues to lag pre-pandemic normal</strong>.”</p><ul style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"><li style="text-size-adjust: 100%;"><strong>As a buyer</strong>, having more options is welcome news. Just remember, housing supply is still low, so be ready to act fast and put in your best offer up front.</li><li style="text-size-adjust: 100%;"><strong>As a seller</strong>, your house may soon face more competition when other sellers list their homes. But the good news is, if you’re also buying your next home, having more options to choose from should make that move-up process easier.</li></ul><h4 style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; line-height: 22.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Mortgage Rates Will Likely Continue To Respond to Inflationary Pressures</strong></h4><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">Experts also agree inflation should continue to drive up mortgage rates, albeit more moderately. Odeta Kushi, Deputy Chief Economist at First American, says:</p><blockquote style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><p style="font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">“… ongoing inflationary pressure remains likely to push mortgage rates even higher in the months to come.” </strong><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"> </strong></p></blockquote><ul style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"><li style="text-size-adjust: 100%;"><strong>As a buyer</strong>, work with trusted real estate professionals, including your lender, so you can learn how rising mortgage rate environments impact your purchasing power. It may make sense to buy now before it costs more to do so, if you’re ready.</li><li style="text-size-adjust: 100%;"><strong>As a seller</strong>, rising mortgage rates are motivating some homeowners to make a move up sooner rather than later. If you’re planning to buy your next home, talk to a trusted real estate advisor to decide how to time your move.</li></ul><h4 style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; line-height: 22.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Home Prices Are Projected To Continue To Climb</strong></h4><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">Home prices are forecast to keep appreciating because there are still fewer homes for sale than there are buyers in the market. That said, experts agree the pace of that appreciation should moderate – but home prices won’t fall. Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at the National Association of Realtors (NAR), explains:</p><blockquote style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><p style="font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">“Prices throughout the country have surged for the better part of two years, including in the first quarter of 2022. . . <strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Given the extremely low inventory, we’re unlikely to see price declines, but appreciation should slow in the coming months.</strong>” </p></blockquote><ul style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"><li style="text-size-adjust: 100%;"><strong>As a buyer</strong>, continued home price appreciation means it’ll cost you more to buy the longer you wait. But it also gives you peace of mind that, once you do buy a home, it will likely grow in value. That makes it historically a good investment and a strong hedge against inflation.</li><li style="text-size-adjust: 100%;"><strong>As a seller</strong>, price appreciation is great news for the value of your home. Again, lean on a professional to strike the right balance of the best conditions possible for both selling your house and buying your next one.</li></ul><h3 style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 22.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Bottom Line</strong></h3><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">Whether you’re a homebuyer or seller, you need to know what’s happening in the housing market, so you can make the most informed decision possible. Connect with a real estate advisor to discuss your goals and what lies ahead, so you can pick your best time to make a move.<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /> </p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em;

Will that slow the out-of-control housing market?<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /> </h1><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">Source: Excerpt from La Times April 20, 2022</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">For a decade, rock bottom mortgage rates helped home buyers steadily bid up the cost of housing. That includes the last few years, during the pandemic, when rates fell to unheard-of levels and home prices exploded across Southern California and the nation.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">Now, things are changing.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">Mortgage interest rates are rising fast, hitting 5% last week for the first time since 2011, according to a widely watched gauge from Freddie Mac. Just six weeks ago, average rates for a 30-year fixed mortgage were under 4%. In November, they were below 3%.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">The swift rise, on top of soaring prices, has made homeownership suddenly more expensive. So, if people can afford less, are home prices about to fall?</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">Several top real estate experts said they don’t foresee price declines — at least meaningful ones — absent a recession. Prices are most likely going to continue to climb, but in smaller increments than Southern California’s current 17% annual rate.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">Economists and other experts pointed to several factors that should largely uphold home values: a severe shortage of homes for sale, rising incomes and falling unemployment.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">In the past, sharp rises in mortgage rates have slowed home price growth,<strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"> </strong>and experts said higher rates should have the same effect this time around as well.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">The simple reason is people can afford less, and this is starting to show. Industry professionals report fewer people at open houses, fewer multiple offers per home and fewer mortgage applications.<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />It’s become harder for sellers to make special demands, including that prospective buyers waive loan and appraisal contingencies that let buyers back out if a problem arises.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">Cooling demand hasn’t yet translated into a slowdown in what homes are selling for, according to the latest available data.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">The median home price across the six-county Southern California region rose 16.7% in March from a year earlier, to $735,000, according to data published Wednesday by the research firm DQNews.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">That’s slightly faster than the 15.4% year-over-year gain posted in February. In Orange County, the March median price soared 22% and topped $1 million, the first time the median price in any Southern California county has crossed the million-dollar mark.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em;

Here are four questions to ask yourself when buying in a tight real estate market:</p><h2 style="color: #0067b1; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 22px; letter-spacing: 2px; line-height: 27.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">1. Are my finances lined up?</h2><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">Availability is close to historic lows, and offers higher than asking price are common. Amid the surge of buyers, you’ll have to move quickly — and that means having your finances ready to go. Consider the following:</p><ul style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"><li><strong>Budget. </strong>Be realistic about how much you can afford — and stick with that plan.</li><li><strong>Credit score.</strong> Higher credit scores could help lower your interest rate.</li><li><strong>Down payment. </strong>A larger down payment will reduce your monthly mortgage payment and potentially make your offer more attractive to the seller.</li><li><strong>Mortgage pre-approval. </strong>This tells sellers you’re serious about buying and have the wherewithal.</li></ul><h2 style="color: #0067b1; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 22px; letter-spacing: 2px; line-height: 27.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">2. Is this the right purchase for me?</h2><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">Finding a property with every detail you want may be more difficult, but you can still find one you feel excited about. Ahead of time, define your priorities and compromises to focus and streamline your efforts.</p><figure style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"><img height="320" src="https://www.ameriprise.com/binaries/content/gallery/ampcom/news--research/real-estate-market-illustration.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: 320px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 420px;" width="420" /></figure><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p><h2 style="color: #0067b1; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 22px; letter-spacing: 2px; line-height: 27.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">3. Am I comfortable with the ongoing expenses?</h2><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">Beyond the actual sale price and closing costs, you’ll need to factor in recurring costs:</p><ul style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"><li>Property taxes</li><li>Insurance</li><li>Maintenance</li><li>Updates or remodels</li><li>Association fees (if applicable)</li></ul><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">Unexpected expenses could always arise, such as replacing a furnace or uncovering a plumbing or electrical issue. Consider maintaining an emergency cash reserve for at least three to six months of living expenses to help in these types of situations. Your financial advisor can also recommend a specific amount appropriate for your situation.</p><h2 style="color: #0067b1; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 22px; letter-spacing: 2px; line-height: 27.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">4. Can I make a competitive offer?</h2><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">“Housing-market fundamentals remain very much in the favor of current owners, to the detriment of prospective owners,” says Ameriprise Financial Chief Economist Russell Price. “This imbalance is likely to remain in place for quite some time — possibly years.”</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">Prepare to bid competitively to make your offer stand out. But remain pragmatic and know your limits — both financially and risk-wise. Here are strategies buyers have been leveraging in some areas of the country:</p><ul style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"><li>Offers above asking price</li><li>All-cash offers</li><li>Waiving the home inspection</li><li>Accommodations for the seller’s closing date or move-out timeline</li></ul><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">Sellers in certain areas might prioritize all-cash offers. If appropriate for your situation, a margin loan or pledge loan could provide you with the necessary liquidity.</p><h2 style="color: #0067b1; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 22px; letter-spacing: 2px; line-height: 27.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Get ready to make your move</h2><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">Securing a new property can be even more rewarding when you feel confident about your choice.<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />Contact Amanda, Pamela or Jace!

Even when inflation is rising like it is today, Americans agree <strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">an investment like real estate truly shines.</strong></p><h4 style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; line-height: 22.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Why Is Real Estate a Great Investment During Times of High Inflation?</strong></h4><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">With inflation reaching its highest level in 40 years, it’s more important than ever to understand the financial benefits of homeownership. Rising inflation means prices are increasing across the board. That includes goods, services, housing costs, and more. But when you purchase your home, you lock in your monthly housing payments, effectively shielding yourself from increasing housing payments. James Royal, Senior Wealth Management Reporter at Bankrate, explains it like this:</p><blockquote style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><p style="font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">“<strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">A fixed-rate mortgage allows you to maintain the biggest portion of housing expenses at the same payment</strong>. Sure, property taxes will rise and other expenses may creep up, but your monthly housing payment remains the same.” </p></blockquote><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">If you’re a renter, you don’t have that same benefit, and you aren’t protected from increases in your housing costs, especially rising rents.</p><h4 style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; line-height: 22.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">History Shows During Inflationary Periods, Home Prices Rise as Well</strong></h4><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">As a homeowner, your house is an asset that typically increases in value over time, even during inflation. That‘s because, as prices rise, the value of your home does, too. And that makes buying a home a great hedge during periods of high inflation. Natalie Campisi, Advisor Staff for Forbes, notes:</p><blockquote style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><p style="font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">“Tangible assets like real estate get more valuable over time, <strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">which makes buying a home a good way to spend your money during inflationary times</strong>.”</p></blockquote><h3 style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 22.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Bottom Line</strong></h3><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">Housing truly is a strong investment, especially when inflation is high. When you lock in a mortgage payment, you’re shielded from housing cost increases, and you own an asset that typically gains value with time.

Housing economists saw that price growth—which peaked at a <a href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CSUSHPISA" style="color: #0067b1; font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">year-over-year rate of 20% last year</a>—as simply unsustainable. Their economic models agreed: <a href="https://fortune.com/2021/11/29/housing-market-real-estate-predictions-2022-forecast/" style="color: #0067b1; font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Among the seven forecast models reviewed by <em>Fortune</em> heading into 2022</a>, every single one predicted home price growth would slow significantly this year.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">But over the past few weeks, that consensus is no longer so unified. Now, more industry insiders are throwing out their previous forecasts and replacing them with more bullish short-term outlooks. Indeed, some experts say <a href="https://fortune.com/2022/01/18/homebuyers-brutal-spring-housing-market-inventory-interest-rates/" style="color: #0067b1; font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">the 2022 spring housing market might go down as one of the most competitive on record</a>.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">Look no further than Zillow. Back in December, <a href="https://fortune.com/2021/12/20/home-prices-set-to-soar-2022-predicts-zillow/" style="color: #0067b1; font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">the home listing site predicted that U.S. home values would climb 11%</a> this year. Economists at Zillow now say that forecast is too conservative. Their latest forecast finds home prices are set to spike 16.4% between December 2021 and December 2022. If it comes to fruition, it would mark another brutal year for home shoppers.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">Why is Zillow raising its 2022 home price growth forecast? A lot of it boils down to housing inventory. During the pandemic, inventory plunged to a four-decade low as more buyers rushed into the market. That trend was predicted to reverse late last year as forbearance protection programs lapsed and mortgage rates rose. But not only has that not happened, the inventory situation has gotten worse. In January, there were just over 923,000 U.S. homes listed for sale on Zillow. That’s down 40.5% from the pre-pandemic level in January 2020, and down 19.5% from January 2021.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">Simply put: The housing market is tighter right now than it was last year when bidding wars climbed to an all-time high. That explains why Zillow foresees a rough few months ahead for home shoppers.</p><figure style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"><img data-src="https://content.fortune.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/R5Wbs-u-s-home-price-growth-21.png?w=1024" height="325" src="https://content.fortune.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/R5Wbs-u-s-home-price-growth-21.png?w=1024" srcset="" style="border: 0px; height: 325px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 480px;" width="480" /></figure><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">But there is a big wild card: As the Federal Reserve shifts policy to help tame inflation, it's moves will indirectly result in higher mortgage rates. In fact, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate in January already spiked to 3.56%—up from 3.11% in December. That marks the biggest one-month jump in mortgage rates in more than nine years.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">In the short term, more buyers might rush into the housing market in order to lock down rates before they go higher. But in the long term, higher mortgage rates would put downward pressure on price growth. Why? As mortgage rates rise, some buyers get locked out of the market altogether.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">“Downside risks to our forecast remain,” write the Zillow researchers. “Elevated inflation heightens the risk of near-term monetary policy tightening, which would result in higher mortgage rates and weigh on housing demand…Higher rates are exacerbating buyers’ struggles with affordability, and they might dissuade some existing homeowners from moving, by raising the monthly mortgage cost of even those homes priced similarly to their current homes. By dampening both buyers’ and sellers’ appetite in this market, rising rates could drive down sales volumes this year, with uncertain effects on home prices.”</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">Homebuyers and sellers alike would be wise to take Zillow’s 16.4% price growth prediction—or any other real estate forecast model—with a grain of salt. After all, none of the major real estate forecast models predicted the historic home price boom we’ve seen over the past two years.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px;

line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">Economic recovery in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis is on the way, but so, too, is inflation, according to Chapman University’s Economic Forecast Update presented by Chapman economist and President Emeritus Jim Doti.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">Nationally, the Chapman forecast calls for real GDP growth of 6.7% in 2021, versus a 3.5% decline during COVID-wracked 2020.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">The V-shaped recovery predicted by Chapman forecasters in December has been fueled by fiscal stimulus packages, resulting in an unprecedented annual increase of more than 25% in the nation’s money supply, Doti said.<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /> </p><h3 style="font-family: Helvetica;

line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">However, the forecast team also pegs that infusion of spending to a higher rate of inflation by mid-2022. They predict that interest rates will soon follow. For example, they forecast that homebuyers will see a 30-year mortgage rate rise from the current average of 2.9% to 4.7% in 2023. Similarly, they project that a 10-year Treasury Bond will hit 3.4 percent.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">At the moment, though, Orange County’s home market is hotter than ever, the economists said. The average number of days to sell a house is 20 days, a historic low. Construction is already at pre-pandemic levels, with residential permits rising from 5,900 in 2020 to 10,200 this year, according to the report.<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /> </p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><img data-file-id="5478902" height="968" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bf0393af8b104aa28b3000810/images/9d65718e-824b-e509-5927-b1d0211b99c2.png" style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; height: 968px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 480px;" width="480" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /> </p><h3 style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 22.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Housing Bubble for Orange County</strong></h3><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">But the county is also in a real estate bubble, according to the report. The current median price of a home in Orange County is slightly more than $1 million and the forecast predicts that the pressure from rising interest rates will soon push that down to $930,000.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">“I think that will be a minimum adjustment … I’m thinking in the 10 to 15% range,” he said.<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /> </p><h3 style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 22.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">California’s Economic Forecast</strong></h3><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">In California, payroll employment is expected to increase by 3% in 2020 versus 2.6% for the U.S. Doti explained California’s faster job growth by its deeper job losses during the COVID-19 recession.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">While many jobs are returning to the Golden State, Doti presented evidence that California’s population growth is declining and connected it partly to California’s high number of regulatory statutes – some 395,000, compared to an average of 100,000 for most states. California’s out-migration is 3.4 percent, compared to the 10 most low-tax states, which added an average of .5% to their net in-migration, he explained.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">“If you want to start reducing this out-migration, you have to start thinking about our taxes and our regulation,” Doti said.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em;

This year, those emotions are stronger than ever. We’ve lived through a time that has truly changed our needs and who we are, and as a result, homeownership has a whole new meaning for many of us.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">According to the 2021 State of the American Homeowner report by <em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Unison:</em></p><blockquote style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"><p style="font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">“Last year, staying home became a necessity and that caused many homeowners to have <strong>renewed gratitude for the roof over their head</strong>.”</em></p></blockquote><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">As a nation, we continue to work through the challenges of a pandemic that’s pushed us all to new limits. Over the past year and a half, we’ve spent more time than ever at home: working, eating, schooling, exercising, and more. The world around us changed almost overnight, and our homes were redefined. Our needs shifted, and our shelters became a place that protected us on a whole new level. The same study from <em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Unison</em> notes:</p><ul style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"><li>91% of homeowners say they feel <strong>secure, stable, or successful</strong> owning a home</li><li>64% of American homeowners say living through a pandemic has made their home <strong>more important to them than ever</strong></li><li>83% of homeowners say their home has <strong>kept them safe</strong> during the COVID-19 pandemic</li></ul><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">It’s no surprise this study also reveals that homeowners are now more emotionally attached to their homes as well:<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><img data-file-id="5251998" height="333" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bf0393af8b104aa28b3000810/images/27a1fef6-3e5b-4cd1-62f6-2366b9232d30.jpg" style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; height: 333px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 500px;" width="500" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /> </p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">As we’ve learned throughout this health crisis, homeownership can provide the safety and security we crave in a time of uncertainty. That sense of connection and emotional stability genuinely reaches beyond just the financial aspect of owning a home. As JD Esajian, President of <em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">CT Homes, LLC</em>, says: </p><blockquote style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"><p style="font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">“Aside from the financial factors, there are several social benefits of homeownership and stable housing to consider. It has long been thought that buying a home contributes to a sense of accomplishment. Still, most individuals fail to realize that <strong>homeownership can benefit your mental health and the community around you</strong>.”</em></p></blockquote><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">Whether you’re thinking of buying your first home, moving up to your dream home, or downsizing to something that better fits your changing lifestyle, take a moment to reflect on what Mark Fleming, Chief Economist at <em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">First American, notes: </em></p><blockquote style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"><p style="font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">“Buying a home is not just a financial decision. <strong>It’s also a lifestyle decision</strong>.”</em></p></blockquote><h3 style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 22.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Bottom Line</strong></h3><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">If you’re considering buying a home, it’s not entirely about the dollars and cents. Don’t forget to weigh the non-financial benefits that may truly change your life when you need them most.</p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse;

line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">Even in a hot seller's market like today’s in which homes are selling so quickly, it’s still important to make a good first impression on potential buyers. Taking the time upfront to prep your house appropriately can bring in the greatest return on your investment.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">Here are four simple tips to make sure you maximize the sale of your house this fall.</p><h4 style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; line-height: 22.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">1. Price It Right</strong></h4><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">One of the first things buyers will notice is the price of your house. That’s why it’s important to price it right. Your goal in pricing your house is to draw attention from competing buyers and let bidding wars push the final sales price up. Pricing your house too high to begin with could put you at a disadvantage by discouraging buyers from making an offer.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">Your trusted real estate advisor can help you find the price for your home that reflects the current market value. Lean on your agent to help you with this crucial first step.</p><h4 style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; line-height: 22.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">2. Keep It Clean</strong></h4><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">It may sound simple, but keeping your house clean is key to making sure it gets the attention it deserves. As <em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">realtor.com</em> says in the Home Selling Checklist:</p><blockquote style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><p style="font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">“When selling your home, it’s important to keep everything tidy for buyers. . . . Remember to take special care with the bathroom, making sure the tile, counters, shower, and floors shine.”</em></p></blockquote><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">Before each buyer visits, assess your space and determine what needs your attention. Wash the dishes, make the beds, and put away any toys. Doing these simple things can reduce any potential distractions for buyers.</p><h4 style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; line-height: 22.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">3. Make It Easy To Visit</strong></h4><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">Giving buyers the opportunity to see your house on their schedule can be a true game-changer. Buyers are less likely to make an offer if it’s difficult to plan a tour or they can’t easily fit it into their schedule. Making your house available as often as possible helps create opportunities for more buyers to fall in love with your house.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">Rest assured your trusted real estate advisor will keep your health and safety top of mind when buyers tour your home. Agents use the latest guidance to stay up to date on any protocols and sanitization recommendations.</p><h4 style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; line-height: 22.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">4. Help Buyers Feel at Home</strong></h4><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">Finally, it’s important for buyers to see all the possible ways they can make your house their next home. As the <em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">realtor.com</em> article puts it:</p><blockquote style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><p style="font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">“The goal is to create a blank canvas on which buyers can project their own visions of living there, and loving it.”</em></p></blockquote><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">An easy first step to create this blank canvas is removing personal items – pictures, awards, and sentimental belongings – from your space. If you’re unsure what should be packed away and what can stay, consult your trusted real estate advisor. Spending the time on this step can pay off in the long run, as the 2021 Profile of Home Staging from the <em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">National Association of Realtors</em> notes:</p><blockquote style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><p style="font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">“Eighteen percent of sellers’ agents said home staging <strong>increased the dollar value of a residence between 6% and 10%.”</strong></em></p></blockquote><h3 style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 22.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Bottom Line</strong></h3><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">To make the most of today’s seller's market, avoid the temptation to skip over the essential preparation steps.

line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">New data from Realtor.com shows that the number of homes available for sale inched up 5.7% in August. Since bottoming out this spring, inventory is up 30%.<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />Rising inventory, of course, gives home shoppers some much needed breathing room. For much of the pandemic, homebuyers have been pitted against one another in the tightest housing market in recent memory. The lack of inventory, which hit at least a 40-year low this year, has spurred bidding wars across the nation.<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />So why is inventory rising now? Some of it is simply homebuyers pushing back at the unprecedented home price growth; with prices up 24% since the onset of the pandemic; some shoppers are opting to hold their fire. Some of it is seasonality returning to the market; in the summer and fall, would-be buyers get distracted by vacations and the restart of school. (Seasonality was notably absent last year when this boom started.)<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />There’s also the seller side: The prospect of cashing in on record home prices is quite enticing. “There’s a mentality among some sellers that if they don’t sell now, they’ll miss their opportunity to get top dollar,” Ali Wolf, chief economist at Zonda, a housing market research firm, tells Fortune.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><img data-file-id="5169718" height="325" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bf0393af8b104aa28b3000810/images/3f01ca31-baa4-bde9-9cee-cc85f11c1bec.png" style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; height: 325px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 480px;" width="480" /></p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">But don't mistake this for a housing crash. Simply put: Demand from buyers still far outmatches supply.<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />The pandemic saw a perfect storm dry up inventory. More buyers, incentivized by recession-induced low mortgage rates and the work-from-home boom, plunged into the market. Meanwhile, many would-be sellers opted to stay put rather than move during a pandemic. Those factors are still in play and keeping inventory well below pre-COVID levels. Indeed, the 640,700 homes for sale in August on realtor.com is 38% lower than in March 2020.<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />“There’s been a recent uptick in inventory, but overall supply is still deeply depressed compared to pre-pandemic levels,” Wolf says. “Some existing homeowners, especially those that refinanced, are choosing to hold their home either as their primary residence or as a rental given their reasonable monthly mortgage payment.”<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><img data-file-id="5169722" height="325" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bf0393af8b104aa28b3000810/images/aba3f4a7-a8b8-2fe2-5fc5-00973e2b4135.png" style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; height: 325px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 480px;" width="480" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />What’s coming next? The mortgage forbearance program, which currently protects 1.7 million homeowners, is set to lapse on Sept. 30. Some of those struggling borrowers will opt to sell rather than restart their monthly payment. That’s expected to translate into another uptick in inventory.<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />But even with all this cooling, home prices are still expected to rise. CoreLogic, a real estate research firm, forecast a modest 3.2% nationwide appreciation in the coming 12 months. The National Association of Realtors is just a tiny bit more bullish, forecasting a 4.4% uptick. </p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody class="mcnTextBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnTextBlockInner" style="padding-top: 9px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; max-width: 100%; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnTextContent" style="color: #494f53; font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px 18px 9px; text-size-adjust: 100%; word-break: break-word;" valign="top"><h2 class="mc-toc-title" style="color: #0067b1; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 22px; letter-spacing: 0.08em; line-height: 27.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; text-transform: uppercase;"><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">BUYERS SEEKING HOMES</span></h2><h3 class="null" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 100; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 22.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Coastal Orange County</span></h3></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageCardBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody class="mcnImageCardBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnImageCardBlockInner" style="padding: 9px 18px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table align="right" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageCardBottomContent" style="background-color: #3d6964; border-collapse: collapse; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td align="center" class="mcnImageCardBottomImageContent" style="padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><img alt="" class="mcnImage" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bf0393af8b104aa28b3000810/images/2b880922-869f-3f0d-b1e7-5d8958b76d47.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: auto; max-width: 2500px; outline: none; vertical-align: bottom;" width="564" /></td></tr><tr><td class="mcnTextContent" style="color: #f2f2f2; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; padding: 9px 18px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: 100%; word-break: break-word;" valign="top" width="546"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Inventory is still low!

Here’s a look at what some experts have to say about key factors that will drive the industry and the economy forward in the months to come.<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Realtor.com</strong></p><blockquote style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"><p style="font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">“. . . homes continue to sell quickly in what’s normally the fastest-moving time of the year. This is in contrast with 2020 when homes sold slower in the spring and fastest in September and October.

More Americans signed contracts to buy homes in March reflecting a strong housing market as summer approaches.<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /> <br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />With the widespread vaccinations and declining viral cases, the reopening of more businesses, a huge infusion of federal aid and healthy job gains should help sustain steady growth.

No matter what happens with the pandemic this year, the way we practice real estate has shifted in response to the virus. <br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />1. <strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">"Home" Means More Now </strong>There's nothing like having to spend all your time at home to make you fully grasp the importance of your living space. C.A.R's monthly Consumer Housing Sentiment Survey showed the percentage of consumers who thought it was a good time to buy a home increased with the onset of the crisis. More first-time buyers have entered the market, too, reaching the highest share in 10 years according to C.A.R. data. <br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />2. <strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Suburban Markets Are Booming</strong> The work-from-home trend is prompting city-dwellers to pack up shop and move to the suburbs, where homes are both bigger and less expensive. Urban flight has been gradually occurring over he past five years, but the pandemic has accelerated that trend. Overall, 43 percent of potential home buyers say the pandemic has made them more likely to look in rural towns and city suburbs.<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />3. <strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Everybody's Going Virtual Now </strong>Buyers are growing increasingly accustomed to the Facetime walk throughs and 3D tours, so much so that new listings without these features may give buyers pause. Virtual solutions show no sign of diminishing soon and many Realtors are likely to continue using them well after the pandemic ends. (We know we will!) <div style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;"> </div>4. <strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Health Is At The Forefront </strong>Buyers and Sellers have placed increased importance on cleanliness and personal safety throughout the transaction. A focus which isn't likely to disappear anytime soon. Many homebuyers and sellers hope procedures such as making hand sanitizer and wipes available throughout the house and limiting the number of visitors in the house will remain in effect even after the pandemic. Buyers having access to a home office for better work-life balance, and extra room for a gym, a kitchen big enough to cook healthy meals are features becoming increasingly critical to buyers.<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />5. <strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Second Homes Are In High Demand </strong>Home sales in vacation destination areas started accelerating in July 2020 and posted a 34 percent annual gain this past fall. Resort markets like Lake Tahoe, Lake Arrowhead, Mammoth Lakes and Palm Springs saw sales more than double during the second half of 2020 since last year. Many buyers are shopping for vacation homes, figuring hotels won't be safe for some time now. Funds that may have once been accollated to travel expenses can now be funneled directly into the down payment. <br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />6. <strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">The Housing Supply Is Even Tighter </strong>Sellers hesitant to list during the pandemic further accelerated California's inventory woes, bumping up home prices in the process. C.A.R.'s new chief economist says, "Inventory issues will persist in 2021. Sellers will eventually reemerge into the market once they recognize that homes are selling quickly and prices are rising. Historically low interest rates, continued population growth, lack of new home development and significant lack of inventory will continue to drive our current real estate market through at least 2021." </td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody class="mcnTextBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnTextBlockInner" style="padding-top: 9px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; max-width: 100%; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnTextContent" style="color: #494f53; font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px 18px 9px; text-size-adjust: 100%; word-break: break-word;" valign="top"><h2 class="mc-toc-title" style="color: #0067b1; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 22px; letter-spacing: 2px; line-height: 27.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 17px; letter-spacing: 1.56px; text-transform: uppercase;">FACTS ON PROPOSITION 19 </span></span></h2><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />The California Association of Realtors just released this highly informational web site about Proposition 19 that takes effect starting April 1st.

Our advice to buyers:<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />1. <strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Keep in touch with us</strong> about your home search! We will work to network with our peers and potential sellers to find something On or Off Market. We just secured a buyer a condo off market, after an arduous search experiencing multiple offers throughout much of the buyer's interested inventory.<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />2. <strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Stay flexible</strong> in your search parameters. If you are considering nearby cities and alternative home attributes, let us know. The more we know, the better we can cast that net for options.<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />2. <strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Make sure your loan preapproval letter and proof of funds are ready to go</strong> to accompany any offer. We will help you submit any offer quickly and advise on a personal letter to help your offer stand apart.<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;"> </div><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">SELLERS:</strong><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />Though inventory may increase in the spring selling season, there’s a conundrum. For every home listed, another home has to be bought. Until inventory outpaces demand, securing your next home might likely take a little longer than anticipated.<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />Still, the upsides of a speedy home sale outweigh the inconvenience of possibly being in-between homes: Less showing time, achieving your asking price (or more), and being able to consider offers to find the best buyer for your house. We can help you plan ahead by discussing some of these strategies before you list.<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />1. <strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Consider a contingency clause </strong>which is<strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"> </strong>a clause in your contract that essentially states that you won’t finalize your home's sale until you find a new home. Ordinarily, buyers find such clauses to be off-putting because it creates uncertainty in their own timelines. However, when demand is very strong like it is now, there may be a buyer out there who has a more flexible timeline for their move.<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />2. <strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Consider a lease back clause </strong>which will allow you to lease back for a period of time from the Buyer.<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />3. <strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Consider a bridge loan </strong>which allows you to purchase before selling. It's a short-term loan that can cover you in this instance. The downside is that these loans often have higher interest rates and quicker repayment periods. Speak to one of our lending partners and see if this makes sense for your situation.<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />4. <strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Add rentals to your home search, </strong>as short or long term rentals are always coming available. It may be a great option to move to a rental just until securing your next home. <br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />5. <strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Hire an agent with connections. </strong>When it comes to securing a new home in a limited inventory market, sometimes, it comes down to having an agent who knows how to leverage their connections. As your real estate brokers, we're prepared to tap into our database of potential sellers in the areas that you're considering buying. <br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"><img data-darkreader-inline-border-bottom="" data-darkreader-inline-border-left="" data-darkreader-inline-border-right="" data-darkreader-inline-border-top="" data-darkreader-inline-outline="" data-file-id="4959678" height="717" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bf0393af8b104aa28b3000810/images/8f881985-a69d-46c9-a410-62063b3addc1.jpg" style="--darkreader-inline-border-bottom: initial;

What started off as a bright year for the housing market and the economy turned into a global pandemic and economic recession. The rebound has been sharp, but is by no means complete, and has created distinct winning and losing sectors in the economy. Read a more detailed analysis and overview of the 2021 economy written by Realtor.com Senior Analyst George Ratiu <a data-darkreader-inline-color="" href="https://www.realtor.com/research/2021-economy-overview-forecast/" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #62bdff; color: #0067b1; font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">here</a>.<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /> <div style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><img data-darkreader-inline-border-bottom="" data-darkreader-inline-border-left="" data-darkreader-inline-border-right="" data-darkreader-inline-border-top="" data-darkreader-inline-outline="" data-file-id="4942882" height="960" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bf0393af8b104aa28b3000810/images/1135d636-ce6a-4329-acf4-818ceae55cf4.jpg" style="--darkreader-inline-border-bottom: initial; --darkreader-inline-border-left: initial; --darkreader-inline-border-right: initial; --darkreader-inline-border-top: initial; --darkreader-inline-outline: initial; border: 0px; height: 960px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 558px;" width="558" /></div><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />One of the big winning sectors has been the housing market, which saw home sales and prices hit decade-plus highs following decade lows in the span of a few months. We expect the housing sector's winning streak to continue in 2021 as seasonal trends normalize and some of the frenzied momentum thanks to new affordability challenges.

Lawrence Yun, <em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Chief Economist</em> for the <em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">National Association of Realtors </em>(NAR), recently said:</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">“There is no shortage of hopeful, potential buyers, but </em><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"><em>inventory is historically low</em></strong><em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">.”</em></p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">In addition, Danielle Hale, <em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Chief Economist</em> for <em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">realtor.com,</em> notes:</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">“Fewer new sellers coming to market while a greater than usual number of buyers continue to search for a home causes </em><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"><em>inventory to continue to evaporate</em></strong><em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">.”</em></p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">One major indicator the industry uses to measure housing supply is the <em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">months’ supply of inventory</em>. According to NAR:</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><em style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">“Months’ supply refers to the number of months it would take for the current inventory of homes on the market to sell given the current sales pace.”</em></p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">Historically, six months of supply is considered a normal real estate market. Going into the pandemic, inventory was already well below this mark. As the year progressed, the supply has was reduced even further. </p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">Here is a graph showing this measurement over the last year:</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><img data-file-id="4910594" height="360" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bf0393af8b104aa28b3000810/images/3151bf52-87e5-4059-a450-d95b5ed4e8b9.jpg" style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; height: 360px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 480px;" width="480" /></p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">What does this mean if you’re a buyer?</strong></p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">Be patient during your home search. It may take time to find a home you love. Once you do, be ready to move forward quickly. Get pre-approved for a mortgage, be prepared to make a competitive offer from the start, and understand how the shortage in inventory has led to more bidding wars. Calculate just how far you’re willing to go to secure a home if you truly love it.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">What does this mean if you’re a seller?</strong></p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">Realize that, in some ways, you’re in the driver’s seat. When there’s a shortage of an item at the same time there’s a strong demand for it, the seller is in a good position to negotiate. Whether it’s the price, moving date, possible repairs, or anything else, you’ll be able to ask for more from a potential purchaser at a time like this – especially if you have multiple interested buyers. Do not be unreasonable, but understand you probably have the upper hand.</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Bottom Line</strong></p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">The housing market will remain strong throughout the winter and heading into the spring. Know what that means for you, whether you’re buying, selling, or doing both.</p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse;

Loan rates are increasing affordability for all</strong></h4>Home loan rates have been creeping down and are now at historic lows with no signs of changing anytime soon. This trend is bringing affordable mortgage payments to more and more people, and are leading some to the conclusion that they can afford more "house" than they think.

Boost Curb Appeal</strong></p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">A home buyer’s first impression of your home is the outside of your home. It’s crucial that you do your best to maintain the exterior the entire time it’s on the market. In the springtime, everyone is excited to get outside and clean up the house but by summer or fall your house could fall behind. Here are a few tips to get your home looking up to par:</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">• Remove weeds coming up from cracks in the driveway, walkways and in the gardens<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />• Trim back any overgrown bushes or brush and remove any dead branches or unsightly growth<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />• Keep up with raking as the leaves start to fall<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />• Make sure all the bulbs are working on exterior lights and turn them on at dusk because prospective buyers may drive by and this will ensure that your home looks welcoming at all hours.</p><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">2. Make it Move-in Ready</strong><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">Home buyers don’t want to take care of various home improvements around the house. Go through and make the improvements that will make your home move-in ready. These improvements could include:</p><p style="letter-spacing: 0.03em; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">• New carpeting if the existing floors are damaged and very old<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />• Fresh neutral-colored paint job to cover stains, marks on walls, or bright uncommon colors<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />• Replace damaged screens or faucets<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />• Repair any scratches on cabinets or floors<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />• Replace any broken windows or doors<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />• Clear your gutters and roof<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />• Keep décor neutral<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />• Minimize how personal your décor is; remove most (not all) of the family photos and kid’s artwork to depersonalize the home<br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />• Organize the basement and garage so buyers don’t feel overwhelmed by the prospect of moving</p><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">3. Make it Cozy</strong><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;" />As the cooler weather rolls in throughout the fall, home buyers naturally want to purchase a home that feels cozy. Add warming candles, pleasing aromas or fall baked goods. Also, ensure that your home is a comfortable temperature inside. We often see homeowners changing the thermostat to save money but you want to make sure when your potential home buyer leaves, that they remember a welcoming, comfortable home that they want to go back to. <p data-darkreader-inline-border-bottom="" data-darkreader-inline-border-left="" data-darkreader-inline-border-right="" data-darkreader-inline-border-top="" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-border-bottom: #393939;
