Market Minute November 13th, 2021
The California housing market continues to have a lot to be optimistic about as home sales and mortgage applications stabilize and fundamentals like mortgage delinquencies are improving. Furthermore, California has kept a lid on the pandemic thus far into the winter, which is helping to fuel a broader economic improvement as fewer workers enter onto the unemployment rolls. However, many ongoing challenges remain including rising inflation, eroding consumer sentiment, and the likelihood of rising rates as we enter 2022 so “elbow grease” remains the mantra.

Home Sales About To Surge?
We May See a Winter Like Never Before.
Like most industries, residential real estate has seasonality to it. For example, toy stores sell more toys in October, November, and December than they do in any other three-month span throughout the year. More cars are sold in the U.S. during the second quarter (April, May, and June) than in any other quarter of the year.
Real estate is very similar. The number of homes sold in the spring is almost always much greater than at any other time of the year. It’s even labeled as the spring buying season. Historically, the number of buyers and listings for sale significantly increase in the spring and remains strong throughout the summer. Once fall sets in, the number of buyers and sellers typically drops off. READ MORE
Housing Market Predictions 2022: Will It Crash or Boom?
So, you’re thinking pretty hard about buying or selling a home sometime soon and want to know how the housing market is going to look. Well, housing market predictions are about as reliable as a weather forecast—no one can predict what’s going to happen with 100% accuracy. But we can check out what real estate experts are saying and make some guesses about the future from there.
Remember, a housing market forecast can only give you an idea of what to expect if you buy or sell a house in the coming months. But never let them control your housing decisions—only your personal situation and finances should do that.
With that said, let’s take a closer look at how the market is doing.
Things To Do This Weekend in California
My Fair Lady in San Francisco. Through November 28th
ORPHEUM THEATRE, 1192 Market St. San Francisco
From Lincoln Center Theater “a sumptuous new production of the most perfect musical of all time” (Entertainment Weekly), Lerner & Loewe’s MY FAIR LADY. Director Bartlett Sher’s glowing production is “thrilling, glorious and better than it ever was” (New York Times). “Every so often a revival comes along that reminds you how indispensable great theater can be” (NY1).
Boasting such classic songs as “I Could Have Danced All Night,” “The Rain in Spain,” “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly” and “On the Street Where You Live,” MY FAIR LADY tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a young Cockney flower seller, and Henry Higgins, a linguistics professor who is determined to transform her into his idea of a “proper lady.” But who is really being transformed?
