“Why Buy Now?”

CALIFORNIA’S POPULATION CONTINUES TO GROW!

California has both high rates of population growth and a constrained supply of developable land.

For that reason, home prices will climb and we will again experience a long-term imbalance between supply and demand in the future housing market.

OVER 70% OF CALIFORNIA’S POPULATION GROWTH IS DUE TO BIRTHS!

As families grow in their numbers, so do their needs for larger homes.

Marriages, employment, military transfers, promotions, retirements etc., all contribute to changes in housing requirements.

HOUSING CONSTRUCTION STARTS ARE AT THE LOWEST LEVEL SINCE 1955!

As the supply of available housing diminishes, demand increases and the cycle moves upward in value and pricing.
