San Diego Real Estate Market Update March 2024 + Local Events
March 1st, 2024

Spring is typically one of the best times of year to sell a home in San Diego! As we approach the spring real estate market, sellers are in a strong position as buyers have fewer options of homes for sale specifically in the coastal communities. Sellers can expect their homes to sell quickly for top dollar when priced correctly. One of the advantages we have when working with sellers is our Compass Concierge program which we utilize to sell our clients' homes for more money by offering services that will help increase the value of their home with no upfront costs. Spring is blooming for buyers as well as there will be more homes coming on the market and mortgage interest rates are predicted to drop slightly in the coming months. One of the advantages we have as Compass agents when working with buyers is the access to our Compass private exclusive listings which are off market opportunities that are only available to buyers within the Compass community. The spring real estate market brings a season of new opportunities, so contact us to discuss your unique home buying or selling situation.

San Diego Real Estate Market Update February 2024 + Local Events
February 1st, 2024

The month of February is special for us! We met 21 years ago at a house in Point Loma on Santa Barbara Street that Layne was holding open. We are so thankful that we met at that open house as we have been married for 16 years and have 2 amazing kids Grace (13) and Vaun (11). We have been working in real estate together for 13 years and Layne has been in the business for 23 years. We make a great team. The balance of opposites! 
 

The San Diego real estate market is in strong demand from local buyers, out of state buyers, and investors. The limited amount of homes for sale has created a competitive and fast paced environment in the coastal neighborhoods. The combination of the high demand for homes and the lack of inventory has sustained price appreciation. Mortgage interest rates for a 30 year fixed are currently averaging 6.75%. Many real estate experts predict that mortgage interest rates will be going down throughout the year. Many real estate experts also predict that home prices will increase throughout the year. Want to make more money when selling your home? Contact us! We would love to help! Click the link below for local events in February, real estate news, and discover lifestyle home tips.

San Diego Real Estate Market Update January 2024 + Local Events
January 1st, 2024
We are so thankful for the clients that we had the opportunity to help in 2023 and we are looking forward to helping new clients in the new year! San Diego is predicted to be one of the best real estate markets in the country this year. Experts forecast San Diego home prices to rise this year by approximately 5.4% which is great news for sellers. The good news for buyers is that mortgage interest rates recently dropped from 8% to 6.75% for a 30 year fixed. This will give buyers more purchasing power. Inventory is still expected to remain low but it is projected to increase slightly.

Ready to buy or sell a home this year or know someone who is? Contact us. We are here to help! We wish you a wonderful year ahead filled with new goals, opportunities, and prosperity in 2024!
