Brexit potential affect on Bay Area real estate

A: Britain’s historic decision at the end of June triggered negative economic ripples throughout the entire world, and the United States was not an exception.

Domestically, stock markets showed a negative performance the day after the Brexit announcement. Generally, such economic news leads to uncertainty, directly impacting the real estate market.

The performance of this segment slows down with declining sales. Brexit news, however, does have a positive outlook for the Bay Area real estate market. Soon after the votes were counted in Britain, the mortgage rates were driven down from an already impressively low point, creating an even more favorable environment for local home buyers.

At the same time, international investors are becoming increasingly interested in the Bay Area job sector and its real estate market, which offers a sustainable environment and a strong projected growth. As always, time will show the true effect of Brexit on Bay Area real estate, which historically has shown constant appreciation in the long run.

Routinely overlooked nuances can doom a deal

A: A real estate transaction consists of many important details and nuances that must harmoniously align. Everything has to fall into place to connect buyer and seller alike.

Sellers reach best results through correct pricing, timing and creative marketing. Often, in search for cost-effective options, sellers take shortcuts. Properties that are not introduced to the market in a timely manner, aren’t strategically priced and are not carefully introduced with quality marketing fail to relate to emotions of the intended buyers. These oversights result in a smaller circle of intended audience and a lower level of excitement.

Buyers are encouraged to stay active to be in sync with dynamic conditions and aware of true values. Any market offers short windows of opportunities during which people tend to procrastinate. During such moments, successful buyers act quickly to gain an edge and position themselves favorably within the market. A prepared buyer also realizes that while list prices are an important reference point, they are often not a true reflection of actual values.

In order to avoid these and other numerous oversights, both sellers and buyers need to seek professional advice from an active real estate agent who is able to guide their clients efficiently through the complex path of a real estate transaction.
