DECEMBER UPDATE BY
December is upon us with the joy of parties and spending time with family and friends. I hope this month brings you joyous celebrations and times to remember.
This month's bright signs tell us that 2024 will be a better real estate market…
- Borrowing cost are expected to recede. Economists predict interest rates 5.7-6.8% next year.
- Sellers are still in charge. Not enough homes for sale have kept prices high. The National Association of Realtors expects home prices to remain unchanged for the 2nd year.
Here’s a link to the stats for the last month.
Here’s a fun poem from past clients Jason & Lori written about their home buying experience:
Twas the night before moving
And all through the house Luka and Sheena were playing And the cats laid about
Tim Gunn on Project Runway
Filled the tv screen
While we ate Chipotle
Mine without beans
When all of a sudden
Our realtor Liz gave a ring
“You guys are golden!”
“Meet me tomorrow first thing!”
We jumped off the couch
In PJ’s and socks
“Holy S–t!” we exclaimed
“This f—-n’ rocks!”
From work I borrowed
The giant-ass Dodge Sprinte And boogied back home
To try and fill her
We filled boxes and boxes
Of ridiculous s–t And useless things
“Hey I may need it!”
We piled up that Sprinter
Like packing a pipe
Exhausted and beat up And smelling quite ripe
We headed for Oakland
Off and away
To get to our new home
Across the Bay
Right in the driveway
Liz handed over the keys
“Hope you guys aren’t worn out!”
“No sweat, was a breeze”
Running on fumes
We emptied that van
It was soon over
Because we had a plan
Surrounded by boxes
We passed out on the couch
Old pizza on the counter
Both of us in a slouch
We actually pulled it off, No hiccups, no flats,
Our first night in our new house, “Oh s–t we forgot the cats!”
So, as we bid farewell to December and step into a brand-new year, I want to tell those of you I’ve worked with in the past how grateful I am for the trust you’ve placed in me as your Real Estate partner. I look forward to continuing our journey together in the coming year. For those I have yet to work with, I look forward to helping you in 2024. Whether it’s expanding your investment portfolio, finding the perfect home, or exploring new opportunities, I am here for you.
