Keystone Point gives the impression, when you first look at the stats, of a paralyzed market. Inventory remains fairly unchanged and sales are low. You may think there is no demand and since supply is the same, the market sits at a standstill. The truth is that this is very normal with shifting markets, especially with smaller neighborhoods like Keystone Point. What gives the false impression of a paralyzed market is the type of buyer and the type of property that is for sale.

Buyers are looking for homes in move-In condition and there’s a lot of fixer-upper inventory. We have sellers ask us if it’s worth investing a couple of thousand dollars prior to listing and the answer may surprise you. If your home needs new floors, new kitchen and bathrooms, has an old roof/air conditioning/plumbing/electrical — spending $10k to make it pretty, will not make it an “updated home”. We do recommend decluttering and giving it a fresh coat of paint, but “you can’t put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig” <<please take no offense.

The bottom line is that we will tell you where and how to maximize your time and money before listing your fixer-upper home in order to sell at top dollar. So please give us a call and we’ll be happy to do a no-obligation consultation.

The Market Action Index for 33181 remains at 23 from last month. The market has shown some evidence of slowing recently. Both prices and inventory levels are relatively unchanged in recent weeks.
