Zamira Knows Marin: Rebounding & Wellness, January 2023

Dear Clients, Friends, Family, Neighbors, Everyone…

Welcome 2023! I hope you and your loved ones are off to an amazing start or at least feeling rested from the holidays.

This month's newsletter is loaded with information from positive news about the real estate market and the current inventory to articles to support you in living your best life plus an off-market listing to get excited about. Me and my team put a lot of heart and thought into our monthly newsletter and hope you find it informative and useful.

I am happy to say that I took some much-needed time off to reconnect with my family, especially since my oldest daughter left for New York University last week! After the initial heartbreak, I am now feeling refreshed and revived and ready to tackle 2023 like never before.

My timing to rev back up is perfect because all signs are pointing to a great spring market ahead. I feel it directly in my own business having buyers jump back in the market who took a pause in the fall/winter. Keep on reading below for reasons why the market is on its way up! So, reach out anytime to pick my brain, schedule a strategy meeting, or just say hi. I'm committed to achieving Results that Move You!

With gratitude,

Zamira

Compass CEO Robert Reffkin appeared on Closing Bell on Tuesday.

Robert shared that for the first time in 10 months all the statistics he looks at are trending positive and believes Q4 may have been the bottom of the real estate market and here are the 6 reasons why.

25% increase in weekly mortgage applications.
Mortgage rates continue to move down to a 4-month low.
Increase in buyer interest, open house traffic, and offers.
In the last quarter of 2022, 42% of sellers were giving concessions to buyers at the closing table, a 10-year high.
Home builder sentiment improved for the first time in 1 year.
Pending closings were down 30+% at points in the fall but over the last few weeks, we have seen pending listings in most of our markets nearly flat year over year.

See what's happening in your Marin town!
