CONGRATULATIONS to Calvin and adult daughter Nadine on the successful SALE of their Lodi multi- unit income property! Partner and Team Co-Leader Angel McGregor carried this ball down the field. Very gracefully, too, considering the surprises and challenges of this particular escrow. This business is nothing like the TV version: "Show clients three homes, pick one, close the sale." The reality is a lot like WORK! SPEAKING OF WORK, The Statesman Team's John DuBois has once again triumphed (on behalf of his Buyers), negotiating the winning offer out a field of several offers. Way to go, John! 2022 looks bright! ACCORDING TO TRENDGRAPHIX, the average Lodi-area single-family home SOLD for 13.3 ago! Dr. Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors, expects average percent more than one year home prices nationwide to rise this year, but by a smaller percentage (He sez 5 to 6 %). MY OLD BONES tell me this party's gotta end, but consider this: Tight inventory. Low mortgage rates (even as they rise to the high 3's, that is LOW). Strong Buyer demand. As Brian Buffini observes, this is a "Professional's Market". It requires experience and skill to guide our clients through the white water of a transaction. Questions? Call us!
