Brian’s Dish of the Week

The election has finally passed. People are settling in, while trying to figure out what our future holds.  Interest rates have gone up a bit and projections are that the Fed will continue to raise rates. Our new president would like to lower taxes on the top 1% – but who knows what’s going to really happen out there?   What we can tell you is that inventory continues to shrink, with less and less property for people to buy.  We are seeing aggressive buyers and multiple offers on many of our listings in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, Brentwood, & Marina Del Rey.

Regardless of the market going up or down, if you price your property realistically, it will sell – and sell fast – for over asking price.   If you are unrealistic, like many sellers, then you will sit and struggle while the market tries to find you.

If you are thinking about selling, but want to time the top (good luck) – then we suggest a simple tip to determine what to do.
TIP:  If you feel values are going to go up and can risk the market falling, then feel free to wait.  If a market downturn will hurt your future next steps, then considering selling now when you know where the market is standing.

Let us help you list your property in West LA today!

Buyers, our advice is always the same. Find a property you love and make sure you can afford the payments, whether the market goes up or down. And enjoy the heck out of the place.   In short, we say go long.   If you’re looking to make money in the short term position, then you better buy smart, which means finding the deal of the century.
