Sell Now or Hold Tight? What Homeowners Need to Hear - But Aren’t Being Told.

Some homes are getting ten offers. Others? Sitting for 60 days, untouched.

Rates are stuck around 7%. Construction costs are still climbing. And the Fed keeps teasing rate cuts - only to backpedal two weeks later.

So, is this your moment to sell… or a mistake waiting to happen?

The truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. It comes down to this: are you playing offense or defense?

If you’re selling… you still have the edge. But only if you use it.

The homes selling fast right now? They’re priced right, presented well, and dialed in before they hit the market.

The ones that aren’t? They linger. Get chipped away by price cuts. And too often, sell for less than they’re worth.

If you've lived in your home for decades, getting it ready to sell probably sounds like a nightmare.

But you don’t have to touch a thing.

We handle it all - repairs, cleanout, staging, light updates. Your only job is saying yes or no to decisions we make together.

Inventory’s still low. That means your home has a better shot at standing out now - before more listings hit the market later this summer.

And if you’re planning to buy something smaller or closer to family? This could be the rare moment where you sell high and buy smart.

This summer may be your best shot to sell high - and buy your next place at a discount.

If you’re buying… this is your window.

The loud buyers - the ones throwing money at listings in 2021 - are quiet right now. Which means the smart buyers are getting in, making strategic offers, and landing serious deals.

Last month, we got clients into a Hollywood Hills Mid-Century with views of Griffith Park, the Hollywood Sign, Downtown, and the ocean. Listed at $2.3M. We secured it for $1.9M. Appraised $250K above contract. They were the only offer.

Why? Because they were ready - and we timed it right.

We also just closed another deal off-market. Multiple offers on the table, and we still negotiated under ask. The sellers covered repairs. Buyers walked in with built-in equity. No drama.

Right now, we’re seeing deep price drops in the $2M+ range. And yes - assumable mortgages are real. 2.9% loans are still out there. We’re helping clients find and take them over while the rest of the market pays 7%.

But none of that matters if you’re not positioned to act.

This market doesn’t reward speed. It rewards preparation.

So where does this leave you?

This isn’t 2021. And no, it’s not 2008 either. Not in a bubble. Not in a crash.

We’re in that rare in-between - where confusion creates opportunity.

If you're even thinking about selling, buying, or just exploring, let’s talk. I’ll walk you through what’s actually happening behind the scenes - and help you figure out the smartest next step.
