Market Surge
More Surge Details
NSDCC Total Number of New Listings, Jan 1 to Mar 15 The number of listings hitting the market is higher than it's been, and there will be more late-reporters adding to the 2025 count in the coming week or two. I've been a regular customer of Rancho Photos since 2012....
Pick Up The Pace
Since October, I've been blabbing on and on how there were several reasons why the pent-up supply was finally going to bust loose in 2025. If you want to sell your house this year, you better get on it. It's more than just an isolated or local thing. Look at the stats...

Virtually everyone is reluctant to predict the future of the real estate market. Even most realtors will throw their hands up and declare, "Who knows?". But around here, one fact has been clear and it tells us what we need to know about the rest of the year. The...
Happy New Year!
In 2024, we had more drama than usual. The Big Three: Hotly-contested election. Commission debacle. Mortgage rates that were supposed to come down, but didn't. Any one of those could have derailed the real estate market, but instead we survived just fine: NSDCC Annual...
