I was recently featured in The Real Deal in a piece exploring how national headlines — specifically around new tariffs — are impacting the Bay Area’s housing market. You can read the full article here, but here’s a quick snapshot of what I shared:
“The [tariffs’] impact on pricing could have been much worse if they came earlier in the competitive season.”
This spring, we saw strong buyer activity — busy open houses, multiple offers, and record-setting sales. But uncertainty has definitely crept in. For homes that were well-prepped, well-located, and priced right, the market stayed competitive. For others, interest dropped off quickly.
What I’m seeing now is that buyers are more hesitant to compromise. They’re still willing to pay a premium — but only for the right home. Which means strategy matters more than ever.
If you’re thinking of selling and wondering how national headlines might affect your timing or price, I’d be happy to talk through your specific situation.
