So… Why Aren’t You Selling Your House?

Andrew Khouri’s report in today’s LA Times points to a decline in US home sales in March, due largely to rising prices and the resulting “sticker shock.” We won’t argue with the statistics, however what we’re seeing locally — which only occasionally aligns with the national housing picture — is not so much buyer concern as it is a clear lack of inventory. The number of properties for sale on the Eastside, NELA and Pasadena is ridiculously low right now. When anything of quality hits the market it sells quickly, usually to the winner of a bidding war. Doesn’t sound like sticker shock to us.

And it begs the question: why aren’t you selling your house? This is a great time to realize maximum value, with less competition and a large pool of eager, qualified buyers looking to take advantage of low interest rates. We are leaders at guiding sellers through happy and hassle-free sales, in fact for 2013 we ranked #1 at the John Aaroe Group in closed transactions. What are you waiting for? The market is great now. If you’ve been thinking about making a change, there’s no better time.

Not So Much Sprawl After All

los_angeles_at_night_from_international_space_station_ca_usa_photo_cia

As reported all over the web today (LA Times, Curbed, The Atlantic Cities, etc.) it turns out that our LA-metro area is pretty darned dense — and we don’t mean dumb. Reid Ewing, a University of Utah professor and lead researcher of a new study called Measuring Sprawl 2014 says: “The biggest success story is surprisingly Los Angeles… (it) has actually densified substantially. They’ve built rail. There’s been a lot of infill development.”

Talk about stereotype busting. Are we surprised? Not at all.

At Tracy Do Real Estate we’ve helped hundreds of home buyers, and have found “proximity” on a lot of wish-lists. City centers, mass transit — our clients want to be near to the places that matter to them, in easily-accessible villages like Silver Lake, Eagle Rock, Atwater and Highland Park.

Have you found your ideal urban residence yet? What are you waiting for? Last year TDRE sold more homes than anyone else in several Eastside zip codes. Putting us to work for you is a savvy move and really easy. It starts by clicking here.

While we’re on the subject, check out our post from yesterday. NELA Union Modern Homes in Glassell Park is a prime example of LA’s growing love of sensible urban density, offering lots of living space in an earth-friendly footprint that’s close to just about everything.
