If you're like a lot of other consumers, trite slogans and marketing come- ons aren't convincing. Especially when it comes to the most expensive investment you may ever make; numbers are far pithier.


Think about it -- which of these is of more value to you: “Now is the best time to buy or sell a house!” or “Real Estate Market Report for Yourtown, Yourstate?”


Not only is this section of ActiveRain chock full of up-to-date real estate market reports but market statistics and market trends as well. Best of all, they're written in plain English by the experts – those that actually work in these markets on a daily basis.

What’s the Value of My Carlsbad Home? Carlsbad Market Report for March 2024 The Carlsbad real estate market continues to evolve, with shifts from February and 1 year ago. Private sales, mobile homes and multi-family housing are not included (the numbers are taken from the MLS and believed to be accurate as reported but are not guaranteed). Media market reports speak in general terms. As a result they do not reflect local Carlsbad housing market conditions (read more - How Local IS Local?).

Typically, spring and summer mark the peak seasons in residential real estate. Many families seize the opportunity presented by the favorable weather and their children’s summer break to embark on their house hunting journey. However, it’s worth noting that in most regions, spring is synonymous with higher housing prices due to increased demand. Consequently, the market becomes saturated with buyers, intensifying the competition.Here are some strategic steps you can take to gain an edge over other buyers:1. Engage Early with Real Estate Agents: If you’re considering working with a real estate agent, it’s wise to start the process early. Take the time to interview three to four agents and also reach out to their references. Once you’ve made your selection, communicate your preferences cl...

Latest news on the Canyon Creek Real Estate market for First Quarter 2024….What you need to know now…..What it means for you…..The real estate landscape in Canyon Creek, Austin, TX, has shown promising signs of activity during the first quarter of 2024. As we transition into the second quarter, we observe a limited number of active listings, with just two properties available, alongside a notable uptick of eight homes currently under contract. However, it's important to note that the number of homes sold this quarter has experienced a 25% decrease compared to the same period last year. Despite this, there is a modest increase of 2% in the average sold price, while the price per square foot has seen a slight decline.In the previous year, homes entering the spring market garnered signific...

Call it what you want--  Great room, Living room, Family room.   Most home owners and builders have come to the conclusion--  they only need one.With busy lives and not as much time to slow down and entertain as perhaps our parents had, this room, where still exists, usually:*Sits empty like a museum display*Becomes a music room*Gets closed off with doors added and becomes an office  (Like I did)This is particularly true with empty nesters who tend to use one room to relax, read or watch TV.I wonder how floor plans will evolve 50 years from now?

Smooth Sailing In The "Settlement" Storm and The Imminent Season of ChaosTransparency is good! But, in recent headlines, the NAR Settlement has garnered significant attention, unfortunately accompanied by widespread misinformation. Even prominent figures like The President have misinterpreted the adjustments, erroneously characterizing them as novel developments when, in fact, they reflect longstanding practices within the industry. While the National Association of REALTORS has implemented alterations, many of us in the field recognize them as consistent with our customary approach to business. Consequently, it's a continuation of standard practices with the potential for a more equitable landscape in the industry.In the aftermath of this lawsuit, consumers stand to gain little. Despit...

#5 Best City to Live in Maryland - TowsonIn keeping with a theme, The World Atlas recently published a list of the 7 best cities to live in Maryland. The number 5 city is Towson. Towson is the county seat for Baltimore County and home to Towson University. Towson is located just north of Baltimore City. Towson's proximity to Baltimore City, its excellent public schools, and its proximity to parks and recreational facilities make it a popular choice for homeowners.It is a little-known fact that Maryland doesn't have any natural lakes, even though some bodies of water are called lakes. Loch Raven Reservoir is the largest body of water in Baltimore County, it holds 23 billion gallons of water and has over 60 miles of hiking trails.My youngest son is a graduate of Towson High School, we bel...

Latest news on the Canyon Creek Real Estate market in March 2024….What you need to know now…..What it means for you…..March 2024 is showing promising signs of activity in the Canyon Creek real estate market in Austin, TX. I am thrilled to report the closure of two of my listings out of the five properties sold, both of which garnered multiple offers. The enthusiasm among buyers for fresh, well-presented, and reasonably priced homes is exciting. Many buyers are actively seeking to make a purchase as their current leases approach renewal. Open houses remain bustling, reflecting the eagerness of buyers to navigate our limited inventory of homes.Compared to last March, we've witnessed a steady consistency with five closings. Presently, the market comprises only two active homes, averaging a...
