WHAT THIS MEANS FOR HOME SELLERS

Prevailing logic demands that if one can afford two comparable houses in the same area, for roughly the same price, they will frequently take the newer one. This would apparently limit the movement of older home prices.

As a general rule, you can’t contest with builders, so if you try to sell your recently listed home while a new builder is busily offering new homes, you’ll have to discount your house significantly or add some more upgrades, which may tell on your potential profit.

WHY LIST YOUR HOUSE NOW?

Demand Is High

Homes are selling at a pace not visually perceived since 2007. There are buyers out there right now and they are earnest about purchasing. Even though inventory is increasing, well-priced homes are selling within 30 days, and the California region keeps on magnetizing more and more people.

Construction Is Back

In the past few years, most homeowners selling their home did not have to compete with a new construction project around the block. As the market stabilizes, more and more developers will jump back in. This "shiny" new housing competition will be an attractive option for many buyers.



Low Mortgage Rates

Since the start of 2019, 30-year mortgage rates have dropped nearly 40 basis points (0.40%). The 15-yr fixed rate home loan is down too, now averaging under 3.5 % nationwide.
