It’s time for Team Sweasey to break down critical market statistics shaping the San Luis Obispo housing landscape. The team explores a striking trend: the average first-time homebuyer is now 38 years old, a decade older than the 28-year-old average in 1991, and that age is likely to go up with the shift in home sellers, with the average age jumping from 47 in 2005 to 63 today. Owners see the benefit of staying put with locked in low interest rates and property tax savings. With inventory tight and no significant new construction on the horizon, Team Sweasey discusses how these dynamics fuel rising prices and limited options, making it harder for buyers to enter the market. In this episode they share creative solutions, like house hacking in Paso Robles or even recycling, to get your seed money. Packed with actionable insights, the episode underscores the urgency of starting early, leveraging expert guidance with an agent, and rethinking inheritance to build wealth through real estate. It’s time for Team Sweasey to take a data-driven look at why now, is the time to act in SLO County’s competitive market!

Fresh off a vacation, Hal is joined by JT, Albert, and Bobbi to break down May’s real estate numbers, comparing them to last year and the pre-COVID market of 2019. With inventory up 40% (that’s 132 more homes!) but still historically low, and sales down 7% from last year, the team debates whether the market is shifting toward buyers or holding steady as a seller’s market. They tackle hot topics like price reductions (affecting 25-33% of listings), the psychology of pricing, and why well-priced, turnkey homes are still flying off the market with multiple offers. The crew also addresses misconceptions from recent news, like Redfin’s questionable claim of 500,000 more buyers than sellers, and shares insights on mortgage application trends signaling potential market activity. Packed with behind-the-scenes banter, practical advice, and a touch of humor (including JT’s “one F-bomb away from retirement” quip), this episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the SLO real estate scene. Tune in for expert tips on pricing, market expectations, and why working with a pro matters in today’s complex market. Subscribe, like, and share for more weekly insights!
