Without fail, another year has whizzed by! As I close out this year’s files and plan for the year ahead, I find myself grateful for so many things, especially the support and trust so many have placed in me this year. Before I dive into the year end market report, I want to wish each of you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy New Year! 2025 has been a bit of a rollercoaster, starting with...
Rate talk seems to permeate almost every real estate article and conversation these days. (I wrote about rates in a blog post last month so for those that want to get a better understanding, I’ll refer you to that post). No doubt rates are important, but rates are only part of what is driving the current real estate market. Right now it’s all about affordability, motivation, and quality inventory....
School is back, football and soccer games fill the schedules, and it still feels like summer out there. When I was lifeguarding, I used to refer to September as "Resident's Month" - that rare time when you still have summer weather without the crowds. So I hope you get a few moments to enjoy Resident's Month, wherever you call home. Now on to the latest South Bay/PV Market Update.... Summer closed...
With the first quarter of 2025 in the books and plenty of news headlines to keep things interesting, I figure it’s a good time to check in on where we are in the market and how things are looking for the remainder of 2025.

How’s the market? Overall, the market is slow, but steady. Slow because we have seen a drop off in the number of homes for sale, and therefore closings, when compared to the past few years. Steady because well priced properties continue to sell, some with multiple offers. Sales activity has slowed in recent weeks but that is typical for this time of year, especially in an election year. On...

To begin with, prices, inventory levels, and sales volume increased compared to last year at this time. For buyers the good news is interest rates are showing signs of stabilizing and the month's supply of inventory has increased across most micro...
EGBOK Does anyone remember this saying? "Everything's Gonna Be OK" was coined by the "Ken and Bob Company" morning radio program on KABC-AM Los Angeles, California (on the air from 1973–1990). I tell my kids this when they are stressed about something, and it applies to today in many ways as well. Sure, there are some scary things out there, but the world has been through worse. In terms of Real Estate,...

Happy 2024! I hope the year so far is off to a good start and you are excited for things to come. I am grateful to get to call PV home, and am reminded daily of why this is such a special place to raise a family. I was recently chatting with several parents while attending my son’s soccer game at PVIS in Lunada Bay. Besides being a fantastic school, while standing at the field we had amazing...
