Wishing you very Happy Holidays!
The shift in the real estate market that began in the late Spring this year has continued into Fall due to high inflation and interest rates and volatile stock markets. Home prices, appreciation rates, sales volume, and days on market continue to show that the market has cooled and corrected since the Spring. Although this is the case, Bay Area homes continue to sell. In this market, it is imperative that sellers price their homes correctly. December usually has the slowest new listing and sales activity, as many homes are taken off the market to re-list in the New Year. However, now can be a great time for buyers to negotiate prices!

As the year 2022 closes, we all are somewhat relieved it’s over, yet cautious about the year ahead. We can expect higher interest rates and only a modest supply of homes, at least in the first months of the new year. Some homebuyers can no longer afford what they thought they could, but price reductions have also brought prices in line with what buyers can pay. The stock market will continue its price volatility and workers will make decisions about whether to return to the office, especially with the new surge in viruses. But there is good news too. People are ready to return to their lives before Covid, and this should make 2023 a year of recovery. Best wishes for the holidays and in the New Year.
