Recently, 30-year fixed-rate mortgages have risen to an average of about 5.75%. As a result, many people are wondering whether now is a good time to buy or sell. If you are looking for a new home, an investment, or looking to sell a property, the answer is still, YES!

San Francisco and surrounding markets continue to see a very strong seller’s market. The Brokerage Community refers to it as the “normalization” of the marketplace in lieu of a “slowdown.”

On the Buyer side, softened competition for properties combined with small markdowns indicates that summer 2022 may present opportunities buyers haven’t encountered for over two years. With the shift in mortgage rates, lenders are also offering additional financing options for buyers, which should keep options open, even for many first-time buyers. We are also seeing more incentives being offered by many of the developers of the new construction projects.
