Sellers Outnumber Buyers Right Now

Buying soon? You’ve got more pull than you might expect. Right now, there are more sellers than buyers on the market. And that means sellers know they’ll have to give a little to get their house sold. Exactly how much negotiating power you have depends on where you’re looking. So, let’s chat about how much power you have here, then turn it into a set of keys.

Yesterday I had the chance to spend some time volunteering at another food pantry that I’m grateful to support. ❤️

There was no shortage of boxes to fill, food to sort, and work to be done... It was a busy day, but seeing everyone come together to help our community made every minute worth it.

So thankful to be able to give back and be part of something that makes a difference. ❤️

Some closings are about more than handing over the keys. This was one of them. ❤️

Recently closed on this amazing cedar cabin retreat in Valley Center... this one will stay with me for a long time.

I was originally referred to my sellers last year when we began talking about preparing their longtime home for the market. Our plans were put on hold when life took an unexpected turn for the family. When the time came to move forward, there was a lot to navigate... and I was grateful to be the person she trusted to help her through the process.

They had loved this property for more than 25 years, and she worked hard to get the home ready for its next owner.

And buyers responded.

Tucked behind a gate on nearly three acres of level, usable land... this cedar shake home was full of rustic charm, character, and warmth. We received multiple offers, negotiated a credit in lieu of repairs, and moved through escrow smoothly all the way to closing.

Now, a new owner gets to call this special property home, and my seller gets to move forward into her next chapter.

Congratulations to my seller. I have so much respect for the way she handled this season, and I am truly grateful she trusted me to help her get to the other side of this sale. ❤️

Thinking about selling a home in Valley Center or North San Diego County? Thoughtful preparation, strong marketing, and experienced representation matter. I would love to help you with your next move
