no April Fool!

The Bay Area real estate market leapt into Spring with brief moments of white hot competition, rays of sunshine, a dash more rain than expected and all of this seems to have dampened the momentum built by a lack of inventory through February to March 2024.

When I reviewed the weekly statistics for San Francisco, the data revealed that about 50% of the new listings that came online went under contract in last 2-weeks(!)...This pent up demand shows incredible confidence in our local economy, and also resulted in fierce competition for homes where you can move-in, throw down the keys and simply go to the movies. 60% of the Single family homes under contract sold in less than 12-days on market.

In Marin, 25% of the Active inventory available has only just launched this past week! I cannot overstate how tight the market was (past tense)...As we enter Q2, the traditional spring selling season, it seems that buyers will have more choices.
