Many sellers believe spring is the best time to put their Roseville homes on the market because buyer demand traditionally increases at that time of year.

Here are five reasons listing your home for sale this winter makes sense. 1. Demand Is Strong The latest Buyer Traffic Report from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) shows that buyer demand remains strong throughout the vast majority of the country. These buyers are ready, willing and able to purchase… and are in the market right now! More often than not, multiple buyers are competing with each other to buy a home. Take advantage of the buyer activity currently in the market. 2. There Is Less Competition Now Housing inventory is still under the 6-month supply that is needed for a … Continue reading...

In real estate, the spring is often seen as the ideal time to buy or sell a house. The term “Spring Buyer’s Season” exists for a reason, as renters and those looking to move on from their current home thaw out from the winter and hit the market ready to buy. According to Bank of America’s annual Home Buyer Insights Report in 2018, 41% of renters surveyed agree that spring is the best time to buy a home. The surprising result, however, is that when ranking the seasons, winter comes in second at 24%.

Weather Roseville CA 95747 Would you believe it! I wrote the first part of this post on weather in Roseville CA (dictated actually) while walking through a delightful West Roseville neighborhood delivering community updates to my neighbors. It's the middle of winter, and while it was a wee bit chilly (in the 50s) at 4:30 pm, I was happy not to be walking in snow. I have two sets of grandkids who live in snow country and enjoy it. But I have to admit, I'm loving our winter weather overall and especially looking forward to sunshine and maybe temps in the 70s very soon! In fact, it is supposed … Continue reading...

I had a most enjoyable day talking to open house visitors looking for Sun City Roseville CA homes for sale including old friends and new. Even an adorable fur-visitor.

My last post was focused on how many homes sold in West Roseville each month for the last 12 months (see below). including a deeper dive at two of the many lovely neighborhoods in the 95747 zip code area - Woodcreek Oaks and Sun City Roseville. When to Sell Your Home? As you can see from that post's statistics, escrow closings in the whole 95747 area started slowing down in October and November but perked up for December, then back down in January. Of course, those closings rarely started in the same month. Usually they … Continue reading...
Fall to Winter in Roseville-Sacramento As our Roseville Sacramento seasons are preparing for a new change, from fall to winter, are you thinking of selling your home?

It's a beautiful time of year wherever you live, but I have to admit, I especially appreciate it here in the Roseville Sacramento area as it's generally a pretty mild winter.
