Huntington Beach is moving fast (like 8 days on market fast). Long Beach said ‘we’ve got inventory and attitude.’ Cerritos doubled up like it’s in a growth spurt, and Temecula? Temecula’s playing it cool but quietly stacking inventory. The market’s talking — want the translation? DM me.

I’m breaking down LA and Orange County first because, let’s be honest these markets are what set the tone for the rest of SoCal.

🚨 Here’s what we’re seeing:

✅ Inventory? Up. Both new listings and active homes are piling in.
✅ Prices? Still climbing — median and average sales prices are holding strong.
✅ Time on Market? Yep, that’s ticking up too. Homes aren’t moving like they used to.
✅ Months of Inventory? On the rise — and that gives buyers a little more breathing room.

📢 Buyers — your window’s starting to open. More homes, less pressure. You’re not in the driver’s seat yet, but you might want to buckle up.

🏡 Sellers — you’re still in a slightly sweet spot. Prices are solid, but the market’s shifting. If you’ve been waiting… don’t wait too long.

DM me for a full breakdown or your specific city stats — those are dropping soon. LA & OC, you’re first in line 🔍

There is no perfect time.
Only perfect hindsight.

The market won’t send you a memo when it hits bottom. 📉
Rates won’t apologize for going back up. 📈
And that dream house? It won’t wait around for your spreadsheet to give the green light. 🏡

Here’s what actually matters:

✔️ Can you afford the payment?
✔️ Do you love the house?
✔️ Will you be there for a while?

If the answer is yes, that is the perfect time.

Timing the market is for stockbrokers.
Owning real estate is for people building wealth. 💰

Just Secured This Home in Escrow! 🎉

After multiple offers and tough negotiations, my client is officially in escrow—at list price!

This wasn’t just about submitting an offer. We spent hours refining a strategy that put my client in the strongest position. A clean, competitive offer that aligned with their goals made all the difference.

In this market, winning takes more than just writing a number on paper. It’s about knowing what sellers value, navigating every counteroffer, and making sure my clients come out on top.

Need an agent who knows how to win? Let’s talk.

For buyers waiting for the market to slow and turn more favorably towards the home shopper, there seems to be no light at the end of tunnel. Housing has lined up in favor of sellers since 2012. Many thought that the pandemic would slow housing, create a deep recession, and erode home values, giving buyers that much desired edge. Instead, rates plummeted to record lows, demand escalated, the inventory of homes available plummeted to unfathomable depths, and home values soared to unbelievable heights. The pandemic led economic recession lasted only two months, and it did not touch the housing industry.
This year there really has been no relief in the relentless pace of real estate due to the historically low mortgage rate environment. According to Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey®, mortgage rates have risen to 3.14% the highest level since March. For proper perspective, after the start of the pandemic, rates reached 17 record lows, the 17th was during the first week of January of this year at 2.65%. Yes, rates have risen from there, but keep in mind that prior to the pandemic, today’s 3.14% rate would be an all-time low. They remain at very low levels, which is why the active listing inventory is 67% below the 3-year average between 2017 and 2019, prior to the pandemic, demand is 11% higher, and the market time is stuck well below 40-days.

It’s hard to separate Cape Cod style homes from their history. Like many other interior design styles, the Cape Cod home was a product of its environment—in this case, New England, where winters are harsh. The Cape Cod style is essentially an adaptation of the English cottage, with some distinctly American traits. Many traditional English features do remain however, such as low ceilings (to better conserve heat) and the use of shutters to block out strong winds.
Like all architectural styles, there are some very particular elements that define this type of home. Some of these are like a steep, gabled roof which helps snow and rain quickly slide off of the roof and a massive chimney centrally located right behind the front door. In fact, the fireplace itself serves as one of the main interior features that the rest of the home is built around.
Shingle siding can be found with various types of siding—including brick and stone—however gray shingles are the classic siding option for this type of house. A standard Cape Cod house has two windows on either side of the front door, as well as a dormer window on either side of the chimney.
You may notice that many Cape Cod houses have a “captain’s stairway” leading up to the second floor, which is a steep and narrow staircase designed to take up as little of the first floor as possible. A defining interior feature of a Cape house is its layout, which is designed to be symmetrical and centered around one main living space. This style of home featured an open concept and low ceiling which ensured that heat could flow more freely throughout the home.

📢New Report on Housing for Orange County (LA County also available)📢
From now through the week before Thanksgiving 🦃, it is the LAST HURRAH before housing transitions from the Autumn Market 🍂to the Holiday Market, the slowest time of the year for real estate in terms of supply and demand. The holidays are filled with distractions. As a result, the hunt for a home takes a back seat for many buyers and fewer homeowners take advantage of selling their homes regardless of how incredibly hot the rest of the year will be for real estate. The overall speed of the market cools slightly, and the market time increases a little bit.
The supply of homes available to purchase will plunge as many unsuccessful sellers throw in the towel to enjoy the holidays and hold off until the Spring Market. It is hard to imagine that there are that many homeowners lingering on the market, unable to sell, given how hot housing is right now. Yet, there are 513 sellers today, 24% of the current active inventory, who have been exposed to the market for mfewest number of homeowners opt to list their homes for sale during the year. ore than two months. Also, November and December are when the year.
If you want the full report with bi-weekly updates, feel free to reach out to me!
