Hello, Fall!

There’s an older children’s book called Now it’s Fall by Lois Lenski I read each year to my kids as the season’s change – the beginning and end are the same….
“Summer’s over,
Now it’s fall -
Just the nicest time of all”

It is a basic rhyme that holds a lot of truth to it! Fall is here – a time to harvest what was worked on throughout the year. A time to clean out, start over, make changes….the last few months of a year, one last chance to make it end on the right note!

If you have been watching the news, reading a magazine or newspaper, you are probably aware that the economic recovery has been slow in the United States (and many parts of the world). What this year has taught many of us is that once again, with interest rates low and prices rock bottom, it has been a fantastic year to buy a home. For those with equity, it has been a great time to sell. Buyers are coming out of the woodwork with cash, or large down-payments, or just highly credit-qualified. Over 60% of the population can now afford the median home price in LA County. That statistic is truly remarkable.

Have you been on the fence about moving? Are you ready to make a change? Why not now? After all, “summer’s over, now it’s fall…Just the nicest time of all!”

Warm Regards,
