To my Southern California FB friends.

Last night on NBC news, the segue into a, coming after a commercial break, was that home PRICES were plummeting in Southern California. The actual report was that the VOLUME was down. This is just irresponsible reporting.

To set things straight, volume is down because of lack of homes on the market but demand is up. In the popular price ranges, it is currently a slight “seller’s market”. The “higher end” is still sluggish with longer market times but have recently improved.

Is the housing market the same as it was prior to Covid-19, no. Real estate is an essential service and we’ve adapted. Most things are now performed virtually.

Bottom line is homes are selling and many with multiple offers. As mentioned above, the “higher end” is still sluggish.

With that being said, don’t be surprised if the news starts reporting average and/or median prices are down. May be factual but the real reason will be that there are fewer “higher end” homes selling. I’m pretty certain that the news will “forget” to state that fact.

If you’d like a complete Orange County report or to discuss your specific needs or residential real estate in general, let me know.

I’ve attached the two news clips from NBC last night. I guess my biggest mistake was listening to the news.

PLEASE READ. I'm sure many of you, including myself, have one of these or somethng similar. Today I noticed the water in the reservoir didn't look clear and then notices mold/mildew at the bottom and sides of the tank. "Googled" it and found out this is somewhat common. I never thought about it before. I used a combination of bleach and water for the tank and then cleaned and descaled with vinegar. You can find out how to ckean it from your manual or the internet.
