Podcast Description:

Welcome back to another episode of the Santa Clarita Real Estate Market Update! I'm Connor MacIVOR, and today is Sunday, July 28, 2024. In this episode, we dive deep into the latest happenings in the Santa Clarita real estate market, offering you an in-depth look at the trends and insights you need to stay informed.

Market Watch Overview: We start with a comprehensive overview of the past week's market activity:

• Coming Soon Listings: 6
• New Listings: 82
• Price Changes: 77, with a significant majority being reductions.
• Back on Market: 22
• Active Under Contract: 34
• Pending Sales: 53
• Closed Sales: 53
• Expired Listings: 2

With a total active inventory of 476 listings, we discuss what these numbers mean for both buyers and sellers in the Santa Clarita Valley.

Real Estate Signs and Curb Appeal: During a recent drive, I noticed several homes for sale with real estate signs. If you're selling your home, it's crucial to maintain excellent curb appeal. First impressions matter, and you never know when a potential buyer might drive by. In today’s digital age, however, many sellers opt not to display signs, relying instead on online listings. We explore the pros and cons of both approaches and the importance of open houses, which we feature on SantaClaritaOpenHouses.com.

Interest Rates and Market Dynamics: We also discuss the potential impact of the anticipated interest rate decrease in September 2024. With inflation trends reversing, lower interest rates could significantly increase buyer activity and competition. If you’re a buyer, now is the time to get pre-approved to stay ahead of the competition. For sellers, this could mean higher offers but also a potential increase in buyer's remorse and subsequent negotiation challenges.

Strategic Market Timing: If you’re considering listing your home, we weigh the pros and cons of waiting until September. While a drop in interest rates could lead to a frenzy of offers, it’s important to navigate this competitive landscape wisely to avoid pitfalls like inflated offers that exceed appraisal values.
