The #1 Reason to List Your Home in the Winter Months is Less Competition! Housing supply traditionally shrinks at this time of year, so the choices buyers have will be limited. The char

    Are Home Yucaipa Prices Softening or Are They Falling?

    We are beginning to see reports that more Yucaipa housing inventory is coming to the market and that buyer demand may not be increasing at the same pace it did earlier this year.

One of the often-overlooked benefits of rising prices, however, is the impact that they have on a homeowner’s equity position. Home equity is defined as the difference between the home’s fair market value and the outstanding balance of all liens (loans) on the proper
