Busy Time of Year

May has traditionally been a busy time of year for me and my business and so far this year is not an exception. I have a number of active buyers and sellers I am currently working with and enjoying, the end of school activities are starting, and we seem to always have something going on at home. Over the weekend we started marketing our newest listing, Beretania Way, a great 4/5 bedroom home in Natomas. With almost 3,000 square feet of living space and a huge backyard this is a great family home with easy access to downtown. I also out with buyers on Saturday, looking for a home in the Granite Bay – Roseville – Rocklin area. I know I have been talking about growing inventory and buyers having lots to choose from but the truth is, when you are looking for the perfect home, sometimes it is difficult to find.



The reason buyers sometimes experience difficulty finding their new home is just the opposite of what you would expect when you are in a buyer’s market like we are now here in the Sacramento area. Because there are so many houses to choose from and because most sit on the market for months, buyers, on occasion, look for the house that meets everything they want and get the feeling they have all the time they need to find it. Add to that a media fueled belief that the longer it takes to find the house the cheaper it will be. Invariably these buyers have to lose a house or two before they begin to compromise and find the “not perfect” but right house.
