At this time of year, people start thinking about other things besides real estate; we focus more on the holidays, family, and friends. The typical belief is that during this time of year people should hold off on their real estate plans until after the new year.

However, if you’re considering selling, I recommend doing so before the year ends. This is an excellent time of year to sell. Many people start taking homes off the market this time of year, and fewer houses are listed. So if you’re selling, there’s less competition. We also know that those looking to buy are purchasing at all times of the year. Many who sold their properties in September or October need to buy in November or December. 

If you’re thinking about buying a home, this is also a stellar time. Many buyers wait until the beginning of the year, so you’ll have less competition. Also, those selling this time of year are motivated, and these things mean you’ll have more leverage.

If you’re contemplating buying or selling, have a real estate need, or want to know more about what’s happening in the market, don’t hesitate to call or email us. We’re here for you. Have a happy holiday season!

In the San Diego real estate market, there are very few homes for sale. If you’ve been thinking about selling your home, this is an ideal market in which to do so. 

You need an agent or team that understands the market, knows the inventory, and has access to a network of off-market properties to help make things easier and get you top dollar. Even if you don’t have any plans to sell, your home will continue to appreciate. To learn more, watch our video above.

If you have questions about this market or real estate in general, feel free to reach out via phone or email. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Today’s topic has always been a cause for concern for sellers and likely always will be: How should they prepare their home for sale? Should they do this, should they not do that, should they just give an allowance in the contract? 

In general, having a house that looks as presentable and appealing as possible will not only make it more saleable, but it will also help you get the highest price. The biggest mistake I see people make is that they focus on things that may have bothered them or they wanted to change while living there and think that will appeal to buyers. However, frequently that’s just not true. 

Let us take a look at your property; we’ll be honest with you. We’ll tell you what you should and shouldn’t do before you sell. We’ll tell you which things will net you three or four dollars later on for every dollar you put into them now. We’ll explain the things that aren’t going to get you a higher price or a more appealing property and aren't worth the time or money. 

For the last 30 years, we’ve worked with many service providers that can help you do the things your home needs. Whether it’s flooring, painting, tile, landscaping, plumbing, etc., we know who the best vendors are for those tasks. We know who has the best rates, and we’ll tell you who we use in our houses.
