Even though the Federal Reserve kicked up the Fed Funds rate by 1/4% in December, January had very solid numbers for California real estate.
It’s normal for fence sitters to jump when there is a interest rate increase trend becoming obvious to the population, but given the ongoing low inventory, and tighter loan underwriting guidelines, it may not result in a large increase in sales (like prior cycles). Expect continuing price appreciation.
