Let’s look at the data of what’s happening so that you can make an educated decision. First off, according to real estate experts and advisors anytime you have inventory levels that are at 6 months of inventory or below, that we are in a seller’s market. It’s all about supply and demand, and when there is a limited supply like there is right now, then the prices go up. So let’s see what inventory levels are doing here locally. Is it a good time to sell here in Brentwood California 94513? Well, let’s look at what happened In the month of March.

In Brentwood we currently at the time of this video we have 67 homes that are active. The average time to sell is only 12 days, and the average sale price is over fifty-thousand dollars over the average listing price, which shows us we are in a strong seller’s market. Now you may be wondering if it’s a good time to sell in Oakley California 94561. In Oakley, we have only 34 active homes on the market and in March homes sold after an average of 20 days. Another strong seller’s market. So here in East County we have very low inventory and strong buyer demand.
