Why Should Buyers Use Their Own Agent?
Let’s take a look at some of the top reasons why a home buyer (and seller) should consider having a Buyer’s Agent involved in the Purchase Transaction.
- Conflicting Interests: Listing agents owe fiduciary duties to the seller, which may conflict with the buyer's interests. Their primary obligation is to secure the best deal for the seller, potentially putting the buyer at a disadvantage. More Info …
- Limited Advocacy: When a listing agent represents both the seller and the buyer as a dual agent, they cannot provide full advocacy to either party due to divided loyalty. More Info …
- Reduced Confidentiality: Information shared with the listing agent by the buyer may be disclosed to the seller, compromising the buyer's negotiating position More Info…
- Limited Guidance: Listing agents may prioritize the seller's interests over the buyer's, providing limited guidance and representation to the buyer throughout the transaction. More Info …
- Risk of Dual Agency: In dual agency situations, where the listing agent represents both parties, there's a risk of conflicts of interest and a lack of undivided loyalty to either party. More Info ...
Please call me with any questions about buyer or seller representation.
A Quick Market Update
Let's dive into the latest scoop on the San Diego real estate market as of March 24, 2024. It's been quite the ride, and I'm here to break it down for you.
First off, the median list price in our sunny San Diego is now at a cool $1,299,000. Yep, you heard that right. And if you're wondering about the market's vibe, it's buzzing! The Market Action Index (MAI) is sitting pretty at 65, up from 60 last month. What does that mean? We're in a strong seller's market, my friends. Homes are flying off the market faster than a seagull at a beach picnic, with inventory ticking up to 415.
Now, for the nitty-gritty: the median price for new listings is about $1,239,500, and the cost per square foot? A hefty $794. Houses aren't lingering long, with the median days on market at just 14 days. Though 26% of prices have dipped a bit, 4% are climbing, showing some interesting dynamics.
And for those of you keeping an eye on the rental scene, the median rent is sitting at $3,800. Quite the market we're in, right?
Diving deeper into the segments, we've got homes ranging from the luxurious $3,298,000 spots with 5 beds and 4 baths, all the way to more modest digs at $799,000. Each segment shows the diversity and vibrancy of our market.
So, what's the takeaway? If you're selling, it's a great time. And if you're buying, be ready to jump on opportunities quickly. As always, I'm here to help navigate these exciting waters. Let's catch up soon!
