October 2013 - Creepy or ..... Not Creepy?!?

As we come to a close for the month of October, we are all reminded of the holiday season fast approaching. You see the Christmas decorations being set up in places like Costco. Speaking of Costco, good luck finding a parking spot and being able to shop at locations like the Morena Blvd Costco (aka first Price Club). Real Estate in San Diego County and Santa Clara County The "experts" have called for a slower October 2013. I agree (to a point). Being on the front lines as both listing and buyer agents, I see both sides of the real estate fence. From the listing side, I'm still getting leads in both San Diego and Bay Area Counties to list their properties. Homeowners are taking advantage of the appreciation growth. And for those homeowners and business landlords interviewing me to be their agent, my approach is Shin-to-Win Baby!! "Mr. and Mrs. Seller, at what price do you see me selling your home?" On the buyer side, I've been generally seeing an average transaction have 8 offers. Now it's down to 4 offers. That's a 50% drop but my clients are still competing with 3 other interested parties. Is that a slow down?
