Friends, clients, and colleagues,

It’s no secret our Santa Clarita Valley, San Fernando Valley, and Simi Valley real estate markets are going through a shift. Interest rates on mortgages jumped from 3% to 7% very quickly. This makes it more difficult for people to buy a home.

Homeowners who don’t need to sell are generally staying put since they are locked into a low mortgage interest rate, which is keeping inventory low. Builders are also pulling back.

The bottom line is we’re heading back to a normal real estate market after years of emergency financial stimulus provided by our government and the Federal Reserve.

Want to work with us? Here are some ways to get involved.

The problem is our national news has sensationalized this situation. When it comes to residential real estate, it’s very local—down to the specific neighborhood and street. What you hear in the news isn’t necessarily what’s happening right here in the Santa Clarita Valley, San Fernando Valley, and Simi Valley areas.

That’s where I come in. I want to step up and do a better job of keeping you informed about what’s truly going on in our local real estate market. I’m talking to buyers and sellers daily.

I plan on posting two short 3-5 minute videos a month where I’ll answer questions from homeowners, residents, and buyers right here in the Santa Clarita Valley, San Fernando Valley, and Simi Valley areas. I will post my own video or a video with a local expert (my broker, mortgage person, title company, etc).

These videos will not waste your time. They are very important with key insights on buying or selling a home. 

With that, the No. 1 question I’m asked all the time now is “What’s my home worth?”

The free estimates you get online are not accurate. They don’t factor in the unique features of your home, location details, and the daily home pricing changes with a shifting market.

I’m happy to tell you what your home is worth at no charge if you listed it for sale. If you want a more detailed price estimate, please send me a few photos of your home. We can meet on Facetime/Zoom/Skype, too. I’ll give you an accurate price with my direct MLS insight.

Request a free updated home price estimate to know what your home is worth.

If you’re looking to buy a home, let me know too. You will need a strong pre-approval letter in this market. I’ll get you in touch with my lender. I’ll review your quote to ensure you’re locked into the most competitive rate available and not paying junk fees.

Call or email me if you’re thinking about buying, selling, or investing in real estate. Just reply to this email with any questions. It goes right to me. Since I’m on the ground hitting the pavement and getting deals done every day, I may be able to share insights to win a favorable deal.

Thanks for reading all this. I’m excited to do a better job of keeping you in the know.

All the best,

Andrew Hart
