The month of December is usually a slow time in the real estate market with the focus on the holiday season. Buyers who stay focused on their home search during this time can find opportunity as there are always sellers with a need to sell or a desire to sell before the end of the year. Updated homes that are well priced continue to sell quickly. We have experienced more room for negotiation for buyers of homes that need updating. Home values have been gradually declining after all time highs over the last few years. If you are considering selling, let us show you how we can make you more money when selling your home using our Compass Concierge Program. If you are considering buying a home, let us help you make an informed buying decision according to your long term goals. Contact us to discuss your unique buying or selling situation in this changing market. Read on for local events in December, real estate in the news, and discover lifestyle tips curated just for you! |

We feel so thankful that we had the opportunity to help such an amazing family sell their beautifully remodeled custom home in Imperial Beach. We received multiple offers within 5 days of being on the market and we were able to sell their home for $53,000 over the list price even in this market! Our marketing strategy focused on highlighting the extensive remodel and homeowner upgrades that our sellers put so much effort into. We wanted potential buyers to see the value in the seller’s custom, move in ready home with solar, new electrical, new plumbing, all new dual pane windows and doors, high end chef’s kitchen, and spa inspired primary retreat. We were able to get our seller top dollar and we were also able to negotiate a 2 free week rent back for them. We are so passionate about helping our clients and we can help you too. |

We are so happy for our buyer of this beautiful condo in the Creekside community of Mira Mesa! We negotiated a credit of over $17,000 from the seller and our buyer already has equity in her new home. We referred our buyer to one of our preferred lenders who was able to close escrow in 16 days and got her a competitive mortgage interest rate just as the rates went down. Our lender helped our client use her credit from the seller to buy down her interest rate by one percentage point making her rate even lower. Our client is looking forward to enjoying her fireplace, spacious patio, 2 car garage, and community pool! |
