Elected Officials Reception – Sep. 19
In Memoriam: Pete Torrey (1947-2024)
CCAR is saddened to announce the passing of longtime member Pete Torrey, who joined in 1977. Pete earned the distinguished titles of CCAR Honorary Member for Life and C.A.R. Honorary Member for Life. As a respected broker, he was highly regarded by his peers and known for his kindness toward CCAR staff. Pete was an enthusiastic participant in the annual CCAR golf tournament and often visited the office to research properties in the days before the MLS went online. One of his proudest achievements was leading CCAR’s ‘Save Our Sports’ campaign, which protected local high school sports from budget cuts in the 1990s.
A celebration of Pete’s life will be held on Thu., Sep. 26, at 11am, followed by a reception at St. Matthew Lutheran Church, 399 Wiget Lane, Walnut Creek.

Market Update
The market has been relatively quiet in the lead-up to the Federal Reserve’s meeting on interest rates next week. Although recent economic data remains relatively strong, markets remain optimistic that the key policy rate will be cut by the Federal Open Market Committee. This has already begun to have a positive impact on the market as signs of homebuyer demand have perked up in recent weeks. However, prices continue to rise as well and that has helped to keep homebuyer sentiment restrained. The full benefit of lower rates will continue to play out in the coming months, but fortunately, the anticipated uptick in demand is also poised to be met with additional inventory, which is also slowly being unlocked as interest rates normalize.
