We're ringing in the new year with some good news. It's been a quiet past few months but the housing market is finally starting to wake up.
What we're currently seeing
Interest rates are dropping
Stock market is up
More applications for loan pre-approval
Slightly more inventory coming onto the market
More activity at open houses
Some properties are getting multiple offers again
What does this mean for you?
Many buyers have been waiting on the sidelines for the "perfect opportunity" to jump back into the market. Sellers also have been waiting for the market to get better. As long as inflation is kept under control which seems to be the case so far, we can see good opportunities for buyers and sellers. For move-up buyers, the current market can provide great opportunities.
Rates are as low as 5% and loan buy-down programs can drop your rate even lower. If you are planning on making a move this year or next year, let’s get together to discuss your scenario and talk about how to strategize for your next move.
Reach out to us today at (650) 988-5114 if you'd like to strategize a game plan for 2023.
