Future of the Market
Overall our market seems to be taking it’s healthy course, although some parts of the market busier than others. Considering Fed’s decision to keep interest rates low we are expecting more activity in the coming months, especially in the lower end of the market. Talking to our local mortgage lenders in Santa Barbara they are seeing
more and more buyers pursuing loan pre-qualification programs, which is a great indicator for our local housing market. On the other side of the spectrum, we are witnessing more and more prospective buyers taking their money out from their stock portfolio and investing it into real estate. The uncertainty of the stock market in the last few weeks has encouraged many of these investors to make changes to their portfolio and look for a safer place to park their money and real estate assets has been their choice.
