Isn't it incredible how 6.8%± interest rates on a 30-year fixed Jumbo mortgage seem like a fantastic deal compared to the 8% rates we saw in December? Even with a slight uptick the last few weeks, the key is to adjust your mindset, filter out the noise, and trust your advisors to achieve your real estate goals!

Rely on our team for hyper-local insights. Each market and community we sell in has its unique dynamics. Depending on the National Press or Bay Area Press alone might lead to misinformation. What transpires in Oakland differs from Lamorinda, which is distinct from Marin. 

Our team maintains its position as market leaders and makers by leveraging information. We've already introduced four impressive listings this year, with two already under contract and expectations of multiple offers on the others today. Some listings are on the full MLS, while others are discreetly off-market. With each sale, we learn, adapt, and guide, always focusing on our clients' broader goals. 

Early insights to share include: 

• Local move-around buyers are re-emerging after a prolonged winter hiatus spanning more than one season!
• Our Sunday Open Houses and Tuesday Broker’s Tours draw significant crowds, with over 175 buyers at two listings last Sunday - over 4 times the traffic from last year.
• Alongside local buyers, we see interest from Oakland, San Francisco, and the South Bay.
• Houses with modern updates attract more attention. 

If you're contemplating buying or selling, why wait? It's an opportune time, and we're here to provide guidance every step of the way.
