Chic vs. Geek: A Time to Buy — or Sell?

/

What’s the latest advice for homeowners and homeseekers?

CHIC (PEARL)

According to the California Association Realtors (CAR), about 30% of buyers think it’s not a good time to buy. This is up just slightly from 2018 and 2019, which means COVID-19 and the shelter in place haven’t put a damper on homeownership dreams.

GEEK (KEVIN)

According to the same CAR poll, sellers don’t share the same optimism, with about 50% reporting that they removed listings from the market to wait for the right time. But with no end to the crisis in sight, the right time might be right now.
