Why Now Is the Best Time to Buy Property in the Last Five Years

If you've been thinking about buying a home, right now might be the best opportunity in the past five years to invest in property.

Hi, I'm Tanja Odzak, Realtor with eXp Realty, helping people sell and buy homes right here in the East Bay for the last 10 years.

Rates had stabilized compared to recent peaks, giving buyers a real chance to lock in affordable long-term payments. Inventory was rising too, after years of sellers holding off, national supply reached 4.3 months, with new listings up 4.9% year over year. More inventory means more room to negotiate, closing costs, repairs, even price.

Real estate also remains one of the most stable long-term investments available. Home values had risen steadily over the previous five years, and buying now means building equity as that continues.

I'm Tanja Odzak, and I've sold over $100 million worth of homes with a decade of experience in the East Bay. Lower rates, more inventory, motivated sellers, and the long-term value of ownership, that combination doesn't come around often. Let's start your journey.
