How has buyer confidence changed over the past year? 

Buyers are still cautious, remaining concerned about affordability, price-to-income ratios and down payments. At the same time, mortgage rates are slightly lower than last year, which has started to bring some buyers back into the market. Buyer confidence is stronger in the South Bay than the national average, with the bigger issue locally being affordability and inventory.  

What is new for your business?

I’m honored to have been ranked #10 company-wide with Estate Properties. It has been a privilege to work with such wonderful long-term clients who continue to inspire me every day. I’m deeply grateful for the talented team of vendors and my staff who consistently deliver exceptional work and ensure every transaction runs smoothly. Thank you to everyone who makes this possible.
