California Realtor Association Survey: Sellers are excited about the market again!


A recent survey by the California Association of Realtors (C.A.R.) shows that home sellers are more optimistic about the real estate market again. Some of their conclusions are:

  • More sellers are repurchasing a home after selling compared to 2012. 
  • More sellers who did not previously repurchase are planning to purchase another home in the future. 
  • More sellers believe home prices are rising compared to 2012. 
  • Reasons for selling have changed since 2012 when financial hardships were the major reason. 
  • Trading up, low interest rates and cashing out are the main reasons. 
  • More sellers are receiving multiple offers than in 2012. 
  • Bidding wars are more common averaging overall 2.2 offers over asking price. 
  • Social media is playing a bigger role in the selling process.

 All these activities indicate a significant improvement in how sellers perceive the market these days.
