Leave it to the hottest month on record to deliver a breath of fresh air to Southern California homebuyers. While it’s not exactly unanimous, 10 of the 12 neighborhoods we monitor dropped closer to a buyer’s favor. And we’re not talking about minor drops in most cases. One neighborhood even sank a surprising 18 percentage […]
If you’ve been paying attention to the news, you’ve seen it’s getting harder to secure California homeowners insurance. Farmers Insurance, the second most popular home insurance California provider, just announced their intentions to place a cap on new policies. This trails even stricter decisions by State Farm and Allstate to completely cease issuing homeowner’s policies […]
While June’s absorption rate statistics favored surges further into the seller’s market (no shock there), we saw a bit more balance than May’s brutal surge-fest. For one, June’s most aggressive climb was nine percentage points; a far cry from the vicious 15% lunge we saw in Upland in May. Also, while we only witnessed two […]

Sure, there are a couple of neighborhoods still powering on with […]

Even in absorption rate analysis, what goes up must come down. It just seems that someone forgot to tell a couple of our neighborhoods. But after a March when we watched every neighborhood we service surge deeper into the seller’s favor, the scales seem to be balancing again. All but two of our neighborhoods dropped […]
With over 2 billion active monthly users, Instagram is one of the largest social media platforms out there. Real estate marketing with Instagram has helped many agents skyrocket to success with virtually no marketing budget. With that being said, any agent looking to be triumphant in this market had better get their Instagram game on […]
By now, 8 months into publicly releasing our absorption rate data, we’ve become pretty accustomed to the Greater Los Angeles area favoring the seller. But this is the first time we’ve seen every neighborhood we monitor move deeper into a seller’s market. So, if you’ve been thinking about selling your home, now might be a […]
Looking at February’s absorption rate analysis makes January’s look downright turbulent. Perhaps the market is approaching a state of normalcy.
