Happy Autumn With a 9-24-23 Real Estate in Roseville CA Update!
IT'S HERE! AUTUMN – I am so looking forward to what my grandkids and I love to call the “Autumn Ballet” when the leaves all dance around in delightful swirls. And in case you are thinking you have to stop house-hunting, that's totally not true. It's true – summer is a great time to buy and sell. AND MEGA CONGRATS AGAIN to my awesome summer buyers in Roseville and Lincoln with their lovely new 55+ homes AND my sweet summer buyers in their beautiful and brand new construction home! It was indeed a great season for all of them! And now, I am looking forward to a terrific autumn season for my great real estate clients who are just now getting started and I think this 9-24-23 real estate in Roseville CA and the surrounding area update will help me encourage them AND you!
You may be thinking – there are fewer buyers? There are too many fun holidays to waste time trying to sell? Interest rates haven't gone down? True true and true for many. BUT NOT for the buyers and sellers who really NEED to move!
For home sellers, yes, you may have to drop your price a bit. And yes, you should put your “best foot forward” and make SURE your house is in great shape for the price you are charging. Compared to the past 2-3 years, buyers are definitely pickier, even if they feel there are not enough homes on the market. But happily, buyers are STILL house-hunting! And the ones who are, are very serious!
Good news for home buyers – Some home sellers are dropping their prices! There is less competition. And you won't roast to death while looking at homes. It's a lovely season to house-hunt!
For all y'all who are very intent on buying and/or selling and need to move soon – Autumn is YOUR opportunity to work on that with less competition for buyers and less stress for sellers. So have a LOVELY autumn weekend, and then give me a call and let's get busy! And in the meantime, let's take a look at how our local 9-24-23 real estate in Roseville CA area is doing this week AND for the month of August 2023, with a couple of look backs at 2022 and even pre-covid 2019.

BOTTOM LINE For Our 10-24-23 Real Estate in Roseville CA Area
You may have heard that the Fed did not make any change to the interest rates this week. But, as you can see in the chart above, the rates did get a tiny bump up anyway. Why? My guess would be that it's due to inflation. But Bankrate lists 3 possible reasons (and I'm guessing there can be other options as well. Happily, it's a very tiny increase!
And very interesting info on the monthly stats – especially seeing so many going for over the asking AND that we are still seeing plenty of multiple offers, tho neither are are for the HUGE amounts we WERE seeing the past couple of years. Very happy for all my buyers, for sure! They are definitely enjoying their lovely homes for reasonable prices 😊! Hooray!
Have a lovely week and again, HAPPY AUTUMN!
Curious about the difference between an average price and the median price? There's a great explanation at the Center for Real Estate at Wichita State University. Basically, “average and median are both measures of ‘central tendency,' in that they are intended to provide some indication of a typical or middle value of a set of data. The average is calculated by adding up all of the individual values and dividing this total by the number of observations. The median is calculated by taking the ‘middle' value, the value for which half of the observations are larger and half are smaller. When there is a possibility of extreme values, the median is generally the better measure to use.” And with all the extremes we are seeing in our area, THAT's why I generally use the median, although occasionally – like today – I will use the average as well. 😀
