Jan. 2024: CA Latest Market Data

Despite inflation rising slightly more than expected at the end of last year, news headlines in 2024 so far have been mostly positive. Consumers begin to believe that overall price growth is slowing, while rates are stabilizing, and more homebuyers on the sidelines are coming back to the market.

These are encouraging signs that could kick start the housing market in the new year and could help turn the market around. If the sentiment remains upbeat and the upward momentum continues, we could see a bounce back in market activity in the…

Help Educate Clients About the Value of the MLS

mls in the know

As an industry, we rely on the MLS every day. It’s how we monitor what’s happening across the market; how we cooperate to get sales done; how we offer compensation. We know how valuable the MLS is, even if we often take it for granted.

But here’s the thing: we can’t take it for granted any longer. The MLS is being challenged. If we want to preserve the efficient real estate market it creates, we need to educate consumers about how the MLS benefits them.

Here’s the good news: Those benefits are real and strong. And consumers understand them when they are explained in non-industry language.

Research shows that 24% of consumers have even a vague idea of what the acronym MLS means, 25% think it means “Major League Soccer”, and 76% of consumers have “no idea” how the MLS benefits them…

Congratulations Kaaren Brickman!

Kaaren Brickman of Dudum Real Estate is the winner of the $250 Gift Card for answering all questions in the 2023 MLS Survey. Thank you Karen, your valuable insights are very much appreciated, and thank you to everyone who also took the 2023 MLS Survey! 

Federal Budget deadlines to
impact CA REALTORS®

As the new year unfolds, Congress finds itself at the intersection of crucial legislative decisions that will impact California REALTORS® and their clients. The first deadline, slated for January 19, is when Congress must act by to provide funding for the Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which oversees the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgage insurance program and various affordable housing initiatives. 

Congress must pass either an appropriations bill for HUD for the remainder of the year or a short-term extension by January 19 or HUD will shut down. While HUD has stated FHA lending will continue during a government shutdown, HUD and its regional offices would be minimally staffed, which could delay FHA transactions the longer a shutdown lasts.     

A second budget deadline looms on February 2, 2024, carrying implications for California REALTORS® and homebuyers in flood prone areas…
