What’s in store for our San Mateo market as we settle into 2019? To answer that question, let’s compare the year-over-year numbers from 2017 to 2018:
2018 started much in the same way that 2017 ended—as a very hot seller’s market. By the fourth quarter, however, things started to change. Here’s a year-over-year comparison of the fourth quarters of 2017 and 2018:
Though the statistics definitely indicate a slowdown near the end of last year, we’re not in a recession. As it stands right now in 2019, it’s important to note that interest rates are very low. In fact, you can get a 30-year fixed mortgage rate for under 4%. If you’re a buyer, this is good news.
If you think you can’t afford to buy a new home because it’s too expensive, remember that prices may go down, but if interest rates go up at the same, your purchasing power remains the same.
I don’t have a crystal ball for the rest of 2019, but I can tell you that if you’re planning on buying or selling a home, we can get you the best deal possible.
