As we are nearing the end of summer, we are still in a highly competitive sales market. The inventory shortage continues to cause home values to increase due to the high demand. This is evident because San Diego County has had a 9.8% increase in median home prices over the past year. As for mortgage interest rates, the beginning of August saw a drop in rates leading to an increase in mortgage activity for both home buyers and homeowners. The lower monthly costs were just the incentive home buyers needed to get off the fence. Homeowners also took advantage of the lower rates during this time leading to the highest volume of refinancing applications since mid-June. For homeowners considering selling, the imbalance of supply and demand continues to make this a great time to put your home on the market. Now more than ever, homebuyers need to be experienced guidance to make an informed decision.
