💰 Big Picture Money Talk
Year‑to‑Date Sales Volume: Local agents have closed $1.95 billion worth of real estate so far this year — that’s 3% higher than last year.
Months of Inventory: We have 3 months of inventory. Less than 4 months usually means a seller’s market, but with rising days on market, buyers may have a bit more leverage.
📉 What Does It Mean?
The SCV market is still active, but homes are taking longer to sell and new listings are down. Prices remain high (especially for single‑family homes), and overall sales volume is growing. In short: Sellers are still in a good position, but buyers have a little more time to make decisions.
🏡 Why It Matters to You
If you’re thinking about selling, it’s still a strong market, especially if you have a single‑family home. If you’re buying, take advantage of the slight slowdown—there may be less competition for your dream house. Either way, staying informed helps you make smart choices!
