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.
