Valentine’s Day In Sacramento Real Estate, $weet For $ellers Or Buyers?

Valentine’s Day in Sacramento real estate, $weet for $ellers or buyers? February is a month when we think about Valentine’s Day. Typically, we see sellers preparing to put homes on the upcoming spring market. Buyers are generally slower to start a re-entry in the home buying search. After reading the January 2020 Sacramento Housing Report, the buyers are out home shopping in full force. They are rapidly buying up the available inventory of homes. Many sellers are receiving multiple offers, and selling very close to list price or over list price, across the board.

The answer to Valentine’s Day in Sacramento real estate, $weet for $ellers or buyers; it is “See’s Candy” sweet for both. The buyers do not have as much inventory to choose from as they did a few years ago. Buyers need to wake up and write winning offers, as this appears to be our new normal. There is such high demand; homes are selling very quickly. The buyers that were successful and closed escrow are thrilled. It is an excellent time for buyers as interest rates are lower than in over two decades. Don’t delay, get out there as you still have nine days left to purchase in February. March is going to be an even higher demand from the historical data.
