With summer right around the cornor, here is what you might need to know for the spring real estate market TODAY

What’s Really Going On in the Market Right Now?

If you’ve been feeling hesitant about making a move in today’s real estate market—you’re not alone. With so much chatter online and headlines that seem to shift week by week, it’s no wonder buyers, sellers, and even seasoned homeowners are questioning what’s really happening out there.

That’s exactly why Lori Alvarez is diving into the heart of the spring market. In her latest podcast episode, she unpacks the trends, truths, and transitions we’re seeing in real estate right now—with her signature blend of experience, honesty, and compassion.

Let’s get one thing clear: this is a market that requires patience. It is not an overnight process. On average, homes are taking roughly 3.2 months to sell in many cases. That’s not a sign of weakness—it’s a sign of a shifting market that calls for smart strategies and steady confidence.

But here’s the good news: when you price your home right, you still have power. Most real estate right now is selling at list price. In fact, homes that are accurately priced are going under contract in as little as 18 days. The key? A realistic strategy from the start.

And if you're in LA County, the outlook is especially bright. Our region is outperforming much of California and even the national average when it comes to real estate value. That speaks volumes about the strength and desirability of our local market.

So how do you win in a market like this?

You partner with the right agent—an agent who knows how to make your offer stand out, who communicates clearly, and who understands what really matters to sellers and buyers alike. In today’s environment, that level of experience and presence can make all the difference.

And while we’re on the topic of strategy—a quick word about home equity. It may be tempting to tap into it, but we encourage you: use it with caution. Just because you have equity doesn’t mean it’s the right time or the right move. Your equity is a powerful asset, and it should be protected with intention.

Thinking about buying? Selling? Just feeling market-curious? Our advice: don’t guess. Instead, schedule a consultation. Let’s talk about your goals, your timing, and your financial future.

Because the market isn’t just about numbers and stats—it’s about people, families, dreams, and possibilities.

🎧 Tune in, get informed, and feel empowered to take your next step—with clarity, confidence, and a whole lot of heart.
