I was recently interviewed as part of HomeLight’s first-ever California Real Estate Insights for 2023 report. The report provided exclusive insight into California market trends provided by 400+ California agents statewide.
Here are four notable insights from the report to help you navigate the 2023 market:
- Motivated buyers find a window to shoot their shot at a home — 87% of agents in California expect a balanced or a buyer’s market in 2023, giving serious buyers a new chance to claim their piece of the Golden State despite higher interest rates.
- Prices aren’t in a free fall due to low supply — In spite of reduced demand, low supply has created a semi-sturdy price floor in some California housing markets. Only 43% of agents in California say inventory is rising, compared to 53% nationally.
- Sellers can entice house hackers by advertising an ADU — California agents surveyed by HomeLight estimate that an ADU adds nearly $138,000 in resale value to a property.
- Concerns over wildfires, droughts, floods, and other natural hazards bubble to the surface of California real estate — 57% of agents we surveyed in California say that people have become increasingly aware of climate risk when deciding where to move.
