Welcome back to my one minute real estate update! Today, we're talking about the holidays and why you, or your friends, should think about taking advantage of the market.

If you are in the position to sell, now is the time to do it. People who failed to sell their homes in the late summer and early fall months are taking them off the market and waiting until spring to put them back on. Because there is less competition, choosing to sell now would be very beneficial.

If you want to take advantage of this great market, you're going to want to make sure your home is warm and inviting. Bake some cookies or other deserts to leave a pleasing smell in the house, but don't overdo it. Make sure you decorate your home to really drive home the great feelings that come with the holidays. Again, don't overdo it, as too many decorations may make your home look cluttered.

Remember to put away all your valuables when showing your home. It doesn't happen often, but sometimes there are people out looking at homes for reasons other than to purchase. It's better to be safe than sorry.

If you have any real estate needs, or would like to discuss your options, please reach out to us. We would love to give you a hand!

Most people don't realize it, but the fall is a fantastic time to put your home on the market. There are many people who don't have kids, are relocating for their job, or need to downsize now, who are out looking for homes during this time. While there are less buyers out looking, the ones who are tend to be pretty serious about finding a home. 

With interest rates as low as they've ever been and a low inventory, there is a high demand for housing this fall. If you price your home correctly, you can get a great value and sell your home fast. Not everyone knows about this, so if you've been thinking about selling your home, September through March is a fantastic time to put your home on the market. 

If you are interested in taking advantage of this great opportunity, we'd be happy to help you out. Give us a call or shoot us an email, so we can start planning how to net you the most money in the shortest amount of time. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

What Matters More: Home Prices or Interest Rates?

There are a wide variety of homes on the market in the San Diego area. If you're a prospective home buyer wanting to browse all the current listings, GO HERE to Perform a Full Home Search, or you can get a FREE Home Valuation Here if you are interested in selling your home.

If you are planning on buying a new home, the first thing you need to do is to secure the right financing for you and your family. Currently, rates are still at historic lows at around 4%. Waiting for the "right" market is a fools errand - nothing affects your spending power like interest rates! Getting a home for a few thousand dollars cheaper down the road is useless if you're paying a substantially higher rate. 

We recommend you get a monthly mortgage check up. We think AmeriFirst Financial, Inc. is the best in town. We work closely with Jeannete Lizarraga, a direct lender who is fantastic at what she does. Working with her, you won't have to worry about the red tape of big banks - once you submit your file, she'll have it back to you in 24 hours.

You can reach Jeannete by phone at (619) 246-8946 or by email at Jeannete@AmeriFirst.us. If you have any questions about this topic or would like us to answer another real estate related question in the future, give us a call or shoot us an email! We want to be your San Diego real estate resource!
