Good Morning & Happy Friday. Well, Happy Birthday to my Hubby today.💓 Fortunately he's gone fishing alllllll day today so I can actually work & bake him a cake before he gets home!
Today I'm sharing the sales infor for Santa Clarita. Acton to the East, Stevenson Ranch to the West, Castaic to the North, Newhall to the South. All the little areas in between.
As of this moment, we have:
Coming Soon - 13 / Available for Sale - 399 (that's actually 10% higher than last month) / Under Contract - 343 / Closed Escrow in the last 30 Days - 251.
So, yes, if you've been watching, the inventory is creeping up a bit. A couple of stories to share. Well, tid-bits of info from the three of us. Homes that are perfect are still flying off the shelf. Homes that are extremely desirable, for whatever reason, selling quickly. Homes that need a bit of updating are taking longer. And, unfortunately, the only way to light a fire under a prospective buyers butt, on a home that is languishing on the market, is to drop the price. Drop The Price. Yep, that's what you gottat do. Buyers are asking why a property is still on the market after 30 days? What's wrong with it? They are still used to things moving quickly. If it's not, it isn't priced right to bring in the right buyer.
There is a buyer for every home, we all know that.
Even for this one!
But, no matter how much a buyer likes your home, if it's not priced where they think it's fair, they aren't going to make an offer to buy it. 20+ years of experience with this, trust me. Trust US. We know more than you, by far.
Off my soapbox now....til next blog post!
