The "Weather Dividend" & It's Impact on Home Prices in Your Neck of the Woods?

The beauty and magic of the pride of Pasadena...of course the Tournament of Roses aka the Rose Parade a little over a week ago may (or may not at times) have much of an impact on home prices in Southern CA.

Rose Parade CollageHowever with years like this one on January 2nd, 2012 and 85 degree temps + warm temps since then, makes me think of the impact it could have of our local real estate.

The “weather” dividend as it’s also known has come and in someways gone (imho) over the years along with the inflated home prices for our (mostly) postage stamp size lots right along with our traffic clogging freeways. Yet seeing the sunny skies of Southern Cal has got to be appealing to those in the frozen tundra of the east this time of year. I can only imagine what it must be like to shovel your way out of the house driveway vs. saying “please pass me the sunscreen Martha…”

Those of us who’ve lived here all our lives at times take our “winter weather” for granted I'm sure much like those of us in Miami and beautiful HI. Yep when it gets down below the 60′s during the day we think we’re freezing, yet that’s almost balmy in Chicago for January right? And believe me I know that after visiting the Windy City in early January a couple of years back locals were boasting about sunshine and their 37 degree temps!Surf City Hunting Beach, CA

Now for me personally, even though selling So Cal real estate for living has been my livelihood for decades, I think we have more than enough people here right now...however if you are making the trek out west to live, contact me! My name is Lynda Eisenmann and my company is Preferred Home Brokers . We’ve been representing home buyers and sellers in So Cal communities now for decades in Southern California, the land of sunshine...among other things.

You can reach me at Lynda@PreferredHomeBrokers or (714) 595-1494 Direct or Text! You can also check out my YouTube Channel on Souther CA Real Estate.

So I guess only time will tell if the 2012 real estate market will be much different from 2010 and 2011 which had relatively similar numbers according to the data from the So Cal Multiple Listing Service (one of the largest real estate data bases in the country). Until then…enjoy the weather wherever you are!
