It was in May that Zillow started guessing +1%-ish for local appreciation. Comparing their ‘typical home values’ from May to today shows a decline of roughly 2% in pricing in all zip codes over the last six months.
With sticky mortgage rates and a political circus for the ages, I’ll take it!
I’ll guess that we will get +5% in the first quarter of 2025, then back to Flat City.

Are you looking for a turnkey townhome with gorgeous views of the dedicated open space around Lake Calaveras adjacent to the miles of hiking trails nearby? Check out our new listing in one of the best locations at the end of the culdesac in Mystic Point – the premier townhome community in NE Carlsbad! New carpet and paint, central A/C, two walk-in closets in primary, laundry room upstairs, and this home has one of the larger backyards! The long driveway allows for two additional off-street parking spaces too – four-car parking guaranteed, wow! Where else in Carlsbad can you find all of this for less than a million?
It looks like the NSDCC market will survive the usual end-of-the-year blues just fine.
We should match last November’s sales count (even with higher pricing), and combine that with the improvement in the days-on-market and it makes me think the momentum is building for a healthy 2025!
This guy fleeced realtors for years, then quit right when the trouble started:
When he became the chief executive of the National Association of Realtors seven years ago, Bob Goldberg negotiated a package of gold-plated perks.
N.A.R., the largest trade organization in the country, agreed to cover Mr. Goldberg’s membership dues for private clubs in both Chicago and Washington and a country club of his choice, including an initiation fee of up to $75,000. He would use all three clubs “primarily for business purposes,” according to the contract he negotiated with the organization.
The group would also pay for first-class airline tickets when he traveled for business and, once a month, for a round-trip first-class ticket for his wife. He was given a $1,500 monthly car allowance and $2,250 a month to cover utilities and insurance at his pied-à-terre in Chicago, where N.A.R. has its headquarters. N.A.R. even agreed to pay for a pet sitter to watch his dogs when Mr. Goldberg was away from his home outside Washington on business.
The extras came on top of his $1.2 million salary that would, according to N.A.R.’s tax returns, grow to $2.6 million in five years.
There might be a little breather around Thanksgiving but I think December should be active with rates trickling upward. New listings keep coming so buyers might as well stay engaged – who knows what you might see!
