BHAUS EIGHT September Newsletter

Hello community,

Introducing L’Eau D’Autumn!

Well no, we are not doing a brand extension just yet :), but we do welcome the Fall season and all its colors, scents, home decor, and new listings!

This season is turning to be an interesting one. Markets are shifting, and we mostly see this as a combination of the low inventory (depending on location), and the climbing interest rates that have weakened demand somewhat. With the average lender offering a mortgage rate of around 7.5% to top tier clients, even higher to those with lesser credit worthiness, buyers are asking for more concessions and it only behooves sellers to stay on top of their local market trends, comparables, and buyer sentiment so as to not chase the market.

BHAUS EIGHT July Newsletter

Our BHAUS EIGHT July Newsletter has just dropped! This month we have;

  • Local Stats and Trends

  • Home Stats by City

  • The Economy & Mortgage News has the latest updates on inflation, consumer spending, and up-to-date mortgage rates

  • Investor Corner continues with our “Buying Abroad” series - this time we are spilling the croissants about buying property in France!

Last month we continued to see a dip in the average and median prices of homes and condos throughout the Southbay. The slight slowdown of the market is also evident in the reduced number of homes sold, the increase of the DOM (average days on market), and the dip in new listings coming into the market (exacerbated by the higher interest rates with many sellers staying put regardless of their desire to move). However, because our supply continues to not meet the higher high demand, some areas and certain price ranges are still demanding multiple buyers/offers and homes are selling above asking.

no place like home.

no place like home.

We are reveling in our summer travels, most recently in New York City. It was a hot and humid week, with some scattered showers which were quite surprising to us.

New York, a city that is always going, moving, awake, and vibrant! We had a little first-time visitor with us, so we felt the need to visit those places that are so New York, including the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Central Park, Grand Central Terminal, the Met, and Soho for some shopping amongst other places. As a treat to myself, we visited the top of the Empire State Building, an iconic Art Deco building full of history and steeped in Hollywood glamour!
