In the Good Old Summertime

June 21, 2012
The Summer season officially began yesterday afternoon at 4 p.m. Yesterday was the longest daylight day of our year and it was a beautiful evening. In June, Southern California generally has overcast mornings (marine layer), hot mid day and afternoons and after the sun goes down, cool evenings.
This is the time for many outdoor concerts and parties. It is also the time when real estate agents take advantage of the longer daylight times. Buyers who work during the day can view properties in the early evening. Sellers who really want to sell understand that their dinner hours may be interrupted, but they know that having buyers visit is a good thing.
Summertime is the traditional season of the year when folks do actively pursue making a move. In the past, the activity was influenced quite a bit by the school year. Folks wanted to relocate before the new school year began in September. With year around school schedules and modified traditional school schedules, this timing is not quite as influential. However, since many folks have vacation schedules at their workplace, it still is the favorable time to find a new place to live.
Sellers also take advantage of the increased buyer traffic and we are hoping that this year many potential sellers will put their homes up for sale. The real estate market seems to have stabilized and this summer may prove to be the time to up-grade, down-grade or first time it.
