Compass agent Ben Faber started a discussion: JtR: If you find a halfway-decent home, it will probably be in the first seven days it’s been on the market. It’s when the listing agent goes into full defensive mode and all communication turns vague because they are so...
It's obvious this year that the market is tough and sellers aren't able to demand everything they want like before. It will probably cause more sellers to cancel sooner, and others to not try at all. The inventory count may hover around 500-ish for a couple of more...
Our new listing in San Marcos! This beauty is better than a new home and features the preferred NextGen - a home within a home! Mom/grandma gets her own primary suite downstairs and then the main primary suite is upstairs with the other two bedrooms plus loft (could...
