Worried About Your Home’s Value? Let’s Look at the Facts

News stories tend to highlight short term fluctuations, not long term fundamentals. While some markets are seeing minor seasonal adjustments, most homeowners are still in a strong position.

Current data shows:

• Home prices remain up year over year in most markets

• Homeowners hold record levels of equity

• Short term price shifts do not equal long term value loss

This is a normalizing market, not a repeat of 2008.

Why Home Values Remain Strong

Real estate values are driven by supply, demand, and homeowner behavior, not fear based headlines.

Key fundamentals supporting today’s market include:

• Inventory remains historically low

• Buyer demand still outpaces supply in many local areas

• Most homeowners have fixed rate mortgages and are not pressured to sell

• Strong equity positions protect against market shifts

These factors create stability, even as the market adjusts.

What This Means for Glendora and the San Gabriel Valley

Locally, the market continues to show healthy signs.

We are seeing:

• Stable pricing with expected seasonal movement

• Well priced homes selling successfully

• Buyers becoming more selective but still active and qualified

For homeowners, this means your property value is likely holding better than you think. For sellers, success depends less on reacting to headlines and more on having the right pricing and marketing strategy.

Thinking About Selling or Buying? Know Your Numbers First

One of the biggest confidence killers in real estate decisions is uncertainty around costs. Closing costs, in particular, often surprise buyers and sellers who are not prepared.

Before making a move, it is important to understand:

• Typical buyer versus seller closing costs

• Which costs may be negotiable

• How to prepare financially

• Potential ways to reduce out of pocket expenses

A clear plan removes fear from the process.
