April 2019 Residential Successes and News

Good morning to Springtime Buying,

The joy of the Spring Buying Season is upon us. It is time to give special consideration to the growing families of new homeowners – the ‘Millennials’. They are interesting and intelligent, even much fun. For certain, they are far more than the often described: “all tech”, “no touch”, “detached”, and “unappreciative” of good customer service.

The Good News: The Millennials cannot be put in a singular box. Thankfully they are well educated and tech savvy. And what makes them good buyers? They have a “learn-by-experience” savvy, know the value of financial discipline, and like things done correctly. Sounds like two excellent qualities of a desired, motivated home buyer.

Market News

1) 80 % of Single Family homes – sold in Santa Clara County – are valued between $740,000 and $ 2,400,000. 10 % of Single Family homes sold for less than $740,000. For Condo and Townhouses, this range is between $475,000 to $ 1,170,000.

2) Is “Yield Curve” a significant debate? For the first time in a decade, the 10-year rate was less than the ‘three-month rate’. For some, it is significant, since only twice sine 1965, was there not a follow-up recession. Yet this was before QE became popular world wide: USA, EU, Russia, and China. This change makes an ‘inversion’ a less helpful tool.

  Should one be wary?  It is always good to be watchful.  Yet past patterns may no longer apply, as the politics of QE, may play a significant role equal to actual economic realities.  

3) Consider thoughts of economist Dr. Chris Thornberg to Silicon Valley investors: “The economy, the charts, jobs, says everything is the best we have seen in 25 years!”

Conclusion: I am thrilled by this opportunity and for those ready to act in this market.

Market Concerns:

1) Federal Reserve keeping its promise to not raise rates, unless solid evidence first.

2) Slowdown? Based upon the above, it is not imminent. History may have to wait.

3) Will Congress finally finalize and sign off on NAFTA 2.
