TL;DR Supply and demand will be brought more into equilibrium, which means price growth will slow or stop. That doesn’t necessarily help buyers who are not all-cash. Also, international buyers return as travel begins to normalize, and the US is the beneficiary as global uncertainty makes international buyers realize that hot international markets (Dubai, Tel Aviv, Moscow - in 2021 - so much for that) carry significant political risk while the US does not.

I kind of love it when I get to work with a client who is completely out of my area because it’s a challenge starting from scratch not having easy familiarity the way I have in most neighborhoods in San Diego. And you know this girl is up to a challenge . The sale was the first home for a really lovely young couple with three kids under three, two dogs and a cat, and a grandparent we had a lot going on! Thank you for the referral from my current client who lives here in ...San Diego (this is for their son and daughter-in-law) . They thought they were only going to be able to purchase a townhome or condo as a starter, but we got them into a gorgeous single-family with a backyard with giant orange trees (what else would you expect in Orange County!? ), a 2-car garage and an ADU! All on a quiet tree-lined street. . Thank you for trusting me! I appreciate you! . #thankyou #fivestars #5stars #5starreview #orangecounty #ocrealestate See more

Our family has served, and so has yours. We don't know you all of you but we owe all of you! Happy Veterans' Day to all who served without a thought of what was in it for them. Here's to true patriotism and honor, and hope for a brighter future. And to steal something from the USMC, these are great qualities to aspire to, every day. JJ DID TIE BUCKLE Justice...

Yup. My buyers have definitely experienced this... bidding wars of up to 5% are one thing. Over 10% leads to being completely upside down on the purchase and no possibility of appraising, which a savvy buyer would (and SHOULD) say no to.

This. I've been a renter and an owner, has bad landlords and good, and I take no sides. But I firmly maintain that a housing crisis is coming, just that there will not be price cuts as massive as the last time and because of all the moratoria in place (both for rent payments and mortgage payments) it's going to happen in slow motion. Remember, the stock market crashed in 2008, but prices didn't bottom until 2011. This time, it will only begin in 2021 when the moratoria expire, and prices will take another 2-3 years to bottom out. Hopefully this is not the case and a combination of vaccines, treatment, and stimulus will help weather this storm

Hallways and stairways are boring!! And gallery walls just look too messy sometimes. My favorite way to dress things up are tiled stair risers, whether in a traditional Spanish motif or something monochrome and modern (swipe right for the second, which I laid in my own home )
