For buyers across Northern California and the Bay Area, including communities like San Jose and Fremont, the increase in active listings to roughly 156,300 homes means more options and less pressure to make quick decisions. This growing supply is expected to continue building through 2027, offering a welcome shift from the urgency of recent years.<\/p>\n<p>However, affordability remains a real challenge. Only about 18% of California households currently qualify for a typical mortgage, down from 31%, so entry-level homes are still highly competitive. Properties are generally selling at close to 100% of asking price, and 30-year fixed rates are holding near 6%\u2014a pattern likely to persist for some time.<\/p>\n<p>For those watching trends in major urban centers like Los Angeles County, it may take until after 2028 to return to previous sales activity levels. Across the state, though, we\u2019re seeing signs of predictability and stability\u2014qualities I always look for when helping clients make informed decisions. My focus remains on understanding each client\u2019s unique needs, so you can navigate these evolving market conditions with confidence and peace of mind.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The California housing market is entering a new chapter of steadier growth, with home prices projected to rise at a modest pace\u2014about 3% to 4% annually through 2028.
