Outlook for October

As expected the Torrance real estate market trended downward in November with negative stats

reported for total sales, market median sales price, active listings, and the sales/listing ratio.

Fortunately this performance behavior is most likely explained by the holiday season and consumers

diverting their attention to family, friends, and vacationing. Accordingly, it is reasonable to predict

similar market stats once December comes to an end.

Nevertheless, as mortgage money remains relatively cheap buyers should act before it is too late. In

fact, this week Reuters reported the Fed’s intentions to raise interest rates sometime in 2015. See

http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/12/05/us-usa-fed-mester-idUSKCN0JJ24620141205 . As for

those property owners on the fence about selling, consider the consequences to market prices once

the Fed takes action to raise interest rates. For questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I

thoroughly enjoy helping people realize their dreams.
