I am advising my buyers that now would be a good time to evaluate the current listings and see if something matches up to their needs.

Sellers are motivated due to the rise in interest rates and the beginning of summer. ie...they want to sell and move before the new school year starts.

Here we are going into the 3rd week of January 2007. As a real estate agent one of the most popular questions at dinner parties is: What is happening in the market? or What is the market doing?

Seems like a straight forward question. But it all depends if you are talking about Florida vs. California or So. Cal vs. Nor. Cal, heck even Marin vs. San Francisco. Since real estate is "local" I will direct my response along those lines. What is happening in Florida really doesn't apply to California etc...

My current SF experiences are as follows:

1. Good Homes are starting to come on the market. Poor homes are still listed just look for over 45 DOM.

2. Tactfull agents are putting offer time frame pressures on good listings therefore they are selling quickly.

3. Those same properties are selling with few contingencies and short close of escrows.

4. Prediction: As the buyer pool subsides there will be a short window of available 'good' properties.

5. Suggestion: Stay in touch with the market & have your mortgages in place before writing offers. ie... move swiftly!!

But remember, be "patient" when making your decision and you will be much happier with your home.
