Is It Still a Good Time To Sell Your Home?

Is It Still a Good Time To Sell Your Home? The Answer Might Surprise You

Westlake Village | Thousand Oaks | Lake Sherwood | Oak Park | Calabasas

If you’ve seen recent headlines stating that home sales are down compared to last year, you might be wondering:

Is it still a good time to sell my home?

The short answer is yes — but let’s unpack why.

While the market has certainly cooled from the fast-paced frenzy of recent years, this shift isn’t a red flag. It’s a move toward a more balanced, sustainable market. And balanced doesn’t mean slow — it means strategic. Homes are still selling, buyers are still buying, and life continues to move forward.

Buyers Haven’t Disappeared — They’ve Become More Intentional

People don’t put their lives on hold for perfect market conditions. Whether it's a new job, a growing family, a relocation, or a transition into retirement, buyers are still very much in the market for a home — especially in our local communities like:

• Westlake Island and North Ranch

• Lake Sherwood estates and custom homes

• Highly sought-after neighborhoods in Oak Park, Agoura Hills, and Calabasas

Today’s buyers are more informed, more discerning, and still motivated. In fact, many are searching right now for a home just like yours.

The Data Tells the Real Story

According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), 4.03 million existing homes are projected to sell in the U.S. this year. That breaks down to:

• 11,041 homes sold every day

• 460 homes sold every hour

• Roughly 8 homes sold every minute

That means that while you're reading this, another 8 homes will sell somewhere in the country. And yours could be next — if it’s presented and marketed the right way.

In This Market, the Right Strategy Is Everything

Today’s market requires more than just listing a property. Sellers need:

• Accurate pricing based on hyper-local trends

• Professional-level preparation, staging, and photography

• Strategic digital and print marketing

• Experienced representation to attract the right buyers and protect your value

That’s where we come in.
