📊 Check out the August Santa Cruz County Real Estate Stats.

If you’ve been talking to real estate agents lately, you’ve probably heard that the market felt a little flat in August, and the numbers seem to confirm that.

Compared with July, we saw a decline in average sales price, median sales price, and the number of homes sold. But there’s another number that caught my attention, and that was the Days on Market which also decreased.

To me, that tells an interesting part of the story. As the market shifted, sellers appear to have responded by pricing their homes more strategically, or making changes once they saw their price wasn’t working, and buyers responded to those prices. The result? Homes that were priced appropriately were moving more quickly.

🤔 It’s a good reminder that real estate isn’t just about whether prices are going up or down. Pricing strategy matters. In a changing market, sellers who recognize the shift and position their property accordingly can still get their homes sold.

I’ll be watching closely to see what September brings. 🏡

The market is moving! 🏡➡️

It’s always encouraging to see a home go pending. Buyers are out there, and opportunities are happening.

If you’ve been thinking about selling, or wondering whether this might be the right time for you to make your move, let’s talk.

Sometimes the first step is simply knowing what your options are, and I’d be happy to help you understand those.

🐾 Who knew judging could be this much fun? 🐾

What a treat being asked to judge the dog show at the Scotts Valley Art, Beer & Wine Festival this past weekend. And let me tell you, it was a ruff, ruff job judging these adorable four-legged competitors for Best Costume, Best Tricks, Biggest, Smallest and Fastest. And they weren’t just competing for bragging rights, as there were some pretty great prizes on the line, including gift certificates Best of Santa Cruz - Facials, massage, body waxing & wraps TOGO'S Scotts Valley Roaring Camp Railroads and Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk 🐶🏆

It’s always fun to step outside of real estate and do something different for the community. And getting to spend the day surrounded by dogs, that was definitely a highlight!

Thanks for letting me be part of the fun! ❤️🐕

July Santa Cruz County Real Estate Numbers Are Telling an Interesting Story 📊

We keep hearing that the real estate market is relatively “flat,” but when you look at the month over month numbers for June to July, there’s a little more going on.

🏡 Average sales price: $1,533,000 → $1,622,000 (+5.8%)
🏡 Median sales price: $1,350,000 → $1,386,000 (+2.7%)
⏱️ Days on market: 33 → 44 (+33%)
📉 Homes sold: 154 → 138 (-10%)

So, prices actually moved higher in July, while the number of homes selling declined and properties took longer to sell.

That’s why I always like to look beyond the headlines. One month of statistics doesn’t tell the whole story, but it does give us some interesting clues about where the market may be heading.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling, the numbers matter. But so does understanding what’s happening behind them. I’m happy to help you make sense of what these trends mean for your particular situation.

“Janet was priceless in selling my home that I grew up in and I would recommend her to anyone interested in finding a great realtor in Santa Cruz County. The ability to see a property and find the best way to get that property ready for sale is a gift she has and sticking to a budget that gives you assurance that the project and sale will get done at the price you want and you would pay for…”

Some of life’s best memories don’t cost a thing… wading in the surf, building a sand castle, and watching the sun set over the Boardwalk. This is why we call Santa Cruz HOME.
