Monday Market Update: Good News In The Golden State

Four data points to start your week off right! 

Knowledge is power, and news can be informative – but also alarming. Here at the Bobbi Decker Real Estate Team, we believe that while not all news is created equal, news based on data can provide valuable information. This week, we are pleased to share four pieces of GOOD news from the California Association of Realtors (CAR)®. We encourage you to read last week’s Market Minute Write-Up in full on the CAR® website, but we have highlighted the key points for you below.

While there are no doubt many factors to consider as you decide your economic strategy for 2026, we hope that you can look at the data and decide what is best for you. Obviously, we cannot ignore concerns about inflation, rates, and affordability, however, no one facet tells the whole story or should impact your choices alone.



The best decision is the one that is right for you and your situation in the short and long-term. You got this! 


Cheers,


Bobbi
