by | Jan 11, 2021 | 2021, Carlsbad, Frenzy, Inventory, Jim's Take on the Market, Why You Should List With Jim | 2 comments

The contest for guessing the number of listings in January is now closed.  We are running about 20% behind last January’s count, so the few sellers who are willing to brave the early-2021 market will do nicely.

We had 31 showings and five offers on our new listing over the weekend, and three of them were willing to pay $90,000 over list!

If you are the kind of buyer who wants to use logic and common sense – and tie your offer price to the comps – well, this isn’t the market for you.  Pay tomorrow’s prices, today!

The MLS ‘upgrade’ of September, 2020 added an extra status type called ‘Active Under Contract’. I’m including those under the pendings, and ‘Actives’ are those marked as active listings for sale. The pendings count by price have been suspended on Sept 28 & Oct 5 and will be in the future until they stop omitting the price (THIS HAS BEEN FIXED STARTING IN 2021).

    “ Pay tomorrow’s prices, today!”

    Tomorrow’s prices are coming a lot quicker than people realize. Tomorrow’s prices are changing quarterly. All those buyers that went over list and still lost out will be looking to swamp boats on the next hot property.

    get good help indeed

    “Wealthy people are picking up second and third homes like the way we were buying toilet paper back in March! The average person is not able to grab a house today.” –

    Grant Cardone speaking to the lack of inventory of homes for the middle class and rising home prices.
