JUST SOLD! Congratulations to my #firsttimehomebuy JUST SOLD! Congratulations to my #firsttimehomebuyer on the purchase of this incredible condo centrally located in Allied Gardens. ⁠
⁠
My client was able to take advantage of the California Dream for All Program that has made it possible for so many Californians to afford buying their first home. Through this life-changing program, she received 20% in down payment funds from the government. ⁠
⁠
I am so proud of her for taking the leap into homeownership and starting her journey into building long-term wealth for her and her family. ⁠
⁠
While the Dream for All Program has run out, there are still many other down payment assistance programs available in the state of California. If you're interested in learning how you can take advantage, reach out to me today at sherry.chen@compass.com.⁠

✨ Just Sold! ✨ Congratulations to my out-of-st ✨ Just Sold! ✨ Congratulations to my out-of-state investor buyers on the purchase of this beautiful condo located in the heart of Fashion Valley. ⁠
⁠
What makes this condo a strong investment is the fact that it is located directly across the street from the billion dollar Riverwalk development currently breaking ground. This massive development will include luxury apartments, office spaces, a nature preserve, and a brand new trolley stop - all with a focus on building a pedestrian-focused community. 🚊🏞️⁠
⁠
Over the next few years, home values within the immediate area will soar with the development of San Diego's newest major hub. ⁠
⁠
What I love the most about this condo is how the unit floods with natural light. The generous wrap-around balcony offers plenty of outdoor space to relax and enjoy the San Diego sunshine. ☀️⁠
⁠
My clients purchased this home for their daughter who is starting a PhD program in San Diego and plans to stay for at least 5 years. Instead of throwing money down the drain with a rental, they decided that buying an investment property would allow them to capitalize on San Diego's strong real estate appreciation.💰️⁠
⁠
Did you know that San Diego real estate has appreciated on average of 6% year over year for the past 35 years? 📈⁠
⁠
If you want to take advantage of the kind of investment that will pay you more than your 401K, reach out to me today! ⁠

Check out my newest feature in Nerd Wallet! With r Check out my newest feature in Nerd Wallet! With recent volatility in rates, more borrowers are considering buying down their rate with discount points. This is a strategy many of my first-time homebuyers have used to lower their monthly payments for the life of the loan. ⁠
⁠
Additionally, buyers can use seller concessions or credits to either buy down their interest rate or use it towards closing costs. ⁠
⁠
While interest rates may have climbed, buyers can still employ a number of strategies to lower their rate and monthly payment. ⁠

OAKLAND ADU TOUR! My good friends recently complet OAKLAND ADU TOUR! My good friends recently completed their absolutely charming ADU. From the vaulted ceilings to the large windows flooding the space with light, this 460 sq ft ADU might sound small on paper but lives like a spacious 1BD bungalow! I’m obsessed with the elevated deck overlooking the backyard. 

My friends have added tremendous value to their property with this income-generating asset. They built this ADU with the primary motivation to host friends and family, and they will always have the option to rent out the home any time they want to generate additional income. ADUs, no matter where, are always a solid investment!

Harland Brewing is one of my favorite craft beer l Harland Brewing is one of my favorite craft beer locations in San Diego. The location featured is in the walkable and beautiful tree lined streets of South Park. The beers here have unique flavors such as Ube IPA, Pandan IPA, Li Hing Mui Sour, and my all-time favorite beer, Japanese Lager made with jasmine rice. 

I love that they often release new flavors including limited edition seasonal brews, so make sure to come back often to try them all! Harland Brewing has four locations in San Diego Bay Park, One Paseo, Scripps Ranch, and South Park.

My buyer knew from the moment he stepped into the home, that this modern home was exactly what he wanted. Therefore, we came in strong with an attractive offer that met all of the sellers' needs to make this as smooth of a transaction as possible. ⁠

✨ JUST SOLD! ✨ Congratulations to my happy buy ✨ JUST SOLD! ✨ Congratulations to my happy buyers on the purchase of their first home in beautiful #ChulaVista. ⁠
⁠
My clients are residents of Los Angeles and decided to move back to San Diego to be closer to family, along with their 1 year old son. This home is the perfect place for them to start their new chapter with their family. ⁠
⁠
We were able to compete in this hot market 🔥 thanks to the help of @jale_yourloangirl_ with #CrossCountryMortgage! With a quick 15 day close and clean terms, we secured this beautiful home under contract. Within 2 short weeks, my buyers went from being renters to proud homeowners! 🏡⁠
⁠
One of the challenges I face daily is dispelling misinformation in the news and headlines. While the rest of the nation may be seeing slower markets due to rising interest rates and inflation, there is still an overwhleming amount of buyer demand in San Diego. The #SanDiegoRealEstateMarket is still hot due to historically low levels of inventory. ⁠
⁠
The key to securing a home today in this market is to work with a team who will do whatever it takes to GET 👏  IT 👏  DONE from the offer stage all the way to closing. ⁠
