Southern California Real Estate Tips

Southern California Real Estate TipsIn 2020, homebuyers have fewer properties to select from.  The southern California real estate market is hot in 2020.  Interest rates are at an all-time low.

The most important factor for you is to present or stage your home to look like a model home. 

According to the National Association of Realtors, 92% of all single-family homes are purchased based upon curb appeal.  

So, go out in front of your home and snap photos of it from the curb.

Then, you can picture what buyers will be looking at.  As your California Realtor®, we can give you some suggestions to improve curb appeal.  Small changes in the landscape can make your home more attractive.
