Celebrating Carissa ❤️⁠
⁠
Ten years ago, you walked through the door of what would become Inhabit Collective, and you never looked back.⁠
⁠
What you have helped build here, the systems, the culture, the trust, cannot be measured on a performance review. It shows up every single day this office runs the way it should.⁠
⁠
You are the reason we can walk out the door and know everything is in good hands. That is not a small thing. That is everything.⁠
⁠
For ten years, you have spent your time taking care of everyone else.⁠ ⁠Now it’s your turn.⁠
⁠
Santa Barbara is waiting. So are Michelin-star dinners, wine and tapas, a little Rainbow Kitten Surprise, a beautiful hotel, and a long weekend with your fiancé where the only thing on your to-do list is to relax.⁠
⁠
We’ve got Harper Rose covered.⁠
All you have to do is show up.⁠
⁠
With love and gratitude,⁠
Doug & Tracy

But the real story is unfolding closer to home.⁠
Along the coast. Within San Clemente. Across the neighborhoods we know best.⁠
⁠
Across Orange County, inventory is rising as we move deeper into the spring market.⁠ At the same time, buyer demand has leveled slightly, pushing Expected Market Time to around 80 days.⁠
⁠
But this is not a one-speed market.⁠
⁠
What that looks like in real life:⁠
𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆-𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗹𝘆.⁠
𝗟𝘂𝘅𝘂𝗿𝘆 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲.⁠
𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱.⁠
⁠
Buyers are active—but more selective.⁠
They are comparing options, evaluating value, and moving quickly when the right home appears.⁠
⁠
And we’re seeing a clear divide.⁠
⁠
Turnkey homes are attracting strong interest and premium pricing.⁠
Homes that need work are taking longer to sell and facing more negotiation.⁠
⁠
Because buyers today are weighing more than just price.⁠
They are factoring in time, cost, and the reality of taking on a renovation.⁠
⁠
This is not one market.⁠
It is many markets happening at once.⁠
Each moving at its own pace.⁠
⁠
The data gives us the framework.⁠
What’s happening in the homes tells the real story.⁠

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱.⁠
But the real story is unfolding closer to home.⁠
Along the coast. Within San Clemente. Across the neighborhoods we know best.⁠
⁠
Across Orange County, inventory continues to rise as we move through the spring market.⁠ More homes are coming online, and buyer demand is holding steady as Expected Market Time sits around 70 days.⁠
At the same time, nearly 30% of listings have already reduced their price, highlighting how critical pricing has become.⁠
⁠
What that looks like in real life:⁠
𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁.⁠
𝗕𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗴𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆.⁠
𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲.⁠
⁠
Buyers today are weighing more than just the home.⁠
Time to remodel. Out-of-pocket costs. Carrying two properties.⁠
And the uncertainty of today’s economic environment.⁠
⁠
Because of that, move-in-ready homes are commanding premium pricing.⁠
And properties that require updates are being met with more hesitation, and often negotiation.⁠
⁠
The difference shows up clearly in the homes themselves.⁠
Properties priced with precision are attracting attention.⁠
And the exceptional homes, the trophy properties, are still selling quickly, sometimes with multiple offers.⁠
⁠
This is not a market you can test.⁠
It is a market you have to understand.⁠
One where pricing is strategy.⁠
Where preparation defines outcome.⁠
And where experience matters more than speed.⁠
⁠
The data gives us the outline.⁠
What’s happening in the homes fills in the rest.⁠
