Sellers: It’s Still a Strong Market—If You’re Strategic
The market is still leaning in your favor, but it’s skill-based, not automatic.
Here's what’s working:
-
Well-staged, well-priced homes are getting offers fast
-
Sellers are receiving an average of 98% of list price, with some getting over asking
Here’s what’s not working:
-
Overpriced homes are canceling after 80–100+ days
-
Poor marketing = missed opportunity
Overpricing is costing sellers time, money, and momentum
If you’re preparing to sell, you need:
-
Accurate pricing from day one
-
Strong visual presentation (staging, photos, curb appeal)
-
Targeted marketing by a local Tustin Legacy expert
Let’s set up a customized listing strategy that gets your home sold at the highest possible value.
Buyers: Yes, You Have a Window
Inventory may be low, but there’s still opportunity if you’re ready.
-
Homes priced right are moving fast
-
But those that sit longer? 👀 Negotiation room opens up
-
Mortgage rates have dipped slightly this summer—so your buying power is stronger than earlier this year
Tip: Be pre-approved and ready to move when the right home hits the market. I can help you craft a winning offer without overpaying.
Economic Context: Mortgage Rates & Timing
The Fed has shown slight easing on rates this summer, but it may not last:
-
Mortgage rates have dipped—but we may see another climb by Q4
-
Inflation concerns are still on the radar
-
That means the window for lower borrowing costs may be closing soon
If you’re considering:
-
Moving up
-
Downsizing
-
Cashing out
…it may be wise to act now before rates rise again.
Final Takeaway: Every Move Needs a Strategy
Whether you're a:
- Homeowner wondering if now’s the time to sell
-
Buyer trying to find the right deal in a low-inventory market
-
Investor or move-up buyer watching interest rates closely...
You need local market insight, accurate data, and a smart plan customized to your life and goals.
