The real estate market in Northern California has displayed a steady growth trajectory over the past few years, however, the market has plateaued due to the rapid rise in interest rates and record inflation. Nevertheless, this trend appears to be temporary as major tech companies, such as Apple, Google, and Facebook, continue to lay off employees while the demand for properties in our region by Bay Area transplants remains high. Industry experts anticipate this trend to persist throughout 2023, with low inventory and high demand driving up home prices even further. Additionally, the ongoing pandemic has led to a shift in buyer preferences towards larger homes with ample space for remote work and outdoor activities, causing properties with extra bedrooms, home offices, and outdoor amenities like pools and gardens to be in high demand.
