The SF Market Update
The spring selling season gains traction! In general, buyers are shrugging off the local banking crisis, the main effect of which, so far, has been a significant drop in interest rates in the 5 weeks after SVB collapsed and First Republic first came under pressure.
The number of new listings coming on market continues to be extremely low, as many potential sellers hold off from listing their homes due to the higher interest rates. This constitutes a huge factor in market dynamics and is undoubtedly holding back sales activity.
As always, if you’d like specific info about your home or hood, let me know!
