There are three areas of potential impact from the tariffs, including the cost of new construction, larger macroeconomic issues, and interest rates. It is believed that the most predictable will be the effect on the construction market.

While interest rates may decline, inflation and rising costs could slow market growth

It's certainly not the cheapest time to buy a home. The average 30-year mortgage rate is now 6.65%, down a bit from January, but still pretty high. The new tariffs put the market on frenzy today and lowered the 10 year treasury as well the mortgage rate for now.

After a couple extremely slow years, more inventory is finally hitting the market this spring. But buyers might be put off by high prices and an unsteady economy.

California will start requiring property insurers to increase coverage in wildfire-prone areas after homeowners across the state increasingly struggle to find policies.

I had the pleasure of working with Peyman while initially searching for a home in East Bay. She was tireless in showing me homes and quickly understood the type of home I was looking for. What sets Peyman apart is not just her attention to detail but also her honesty and integrity— she never hesitated to highlight potential issues in each property, teaching me how to critically evaluate homes. Despite my decision to shift my search to the South Bay, I knew I wanted to continue working with her. She was adamant that her services were confined to the East Bay, so it took some convincing before she finally agreed to help me in the South Bay. We found my dream home shortly after she agreed to help me find a place in the South Bay. Despite the competitive situation with multiple offers, Peyman’s strategic approach to our offer was spot-on. Even after our offer was accepted, Peyman managed the process diligently, helped me with many decisions, including securing insurance, and maintained proactive communication with the seller. She made multiple trips from the East Bay to the South Bay for the house walk-through and later to hand me the house keys herself. She is professional, responsible, attentive, and trustworthy. It’s rare to find someone who brings so much to the table, has the patience, and genuinely cares about helping you find the right home. She’s not just a realtor; she’s a true partner in this journey, and I’m grateful for having met her!

Pool mastic replacement and preparing for rainy season. Pool mastic should be replaced when you notice the sealant in the expansion joint peeling or cracking. Other indicators include pool tiles falling off, cracks in your deck, or rising in your deck. This is the first time going through this trying to avoid rain to creep in crawl space.
