Everyone Thinks Summer Is a Good Time to Wait

Happy June, everyone. Around this time of year San Diegans know to expect a little June Gloom in the mornings, but there is nothing quite like watching that coastal fog burn off into a spectacular afternoon.
As we move into summer, the energy across the city picks up. Whether you are prepping for backyard barbecues or just looking forward to longer days, I hope this month brings a more relaxed pace to your routine.
Ayren's Angle: Summer Buyers Are on a Deadline
Most people assume summer is slow. It is not.
Families moving on a school calendar are working against a hard deadline. They are not browsing, they are solving a problem with a date attached. If you are buying, this is not the season to ease off your search.
If you are selling, that same dynamic works for you. Fewer casual lookers, more people who need to be somewhere by August. A well presented home in June can move as fast as anything listed in spring.
