Here's an honest take on the California housing market right now.
Inventory is tight. Prices have held firm. And a lot of would-be sellers are staying put because they locked in much lower mortgage rates years ago β they don't want to give those up.
What does that mean for buyers? It means competition is real, especially for well-priced homes in areas like Sherman Oaks and Burbank. Getting pre-approved before you start your search isn't just smart β it's often the difference between getting the home and losing it.
For current homeowners, it means your equity has likely grown significantly, and there may be opportunities to leverage it wisely β whether that's a cash-out refinance, home improvement, or paying down other debt.
