Interest rates just ticked up another quarter point. While that may make your home less affordable to some buyers, some folks will get antsy and cross over to the FOMO zone. Families are moving now that kids are out of school.

If you believe in the 18 year real estate cycle, we could be due for a crash. This could be to your benefit if you can wait a bit to buy in SoCal. Put your stuff in storage and travel a bit while you can.
