In a recent study I found that the number of homes that sold (sales volume) decreased from the
two-month period of September 27 th to November 27 th of 2022 vs the two-month period of September
27 to November 27 th 2023. In a sample area that was taken from the Greater Antelope Valley
Association of Realtors and encompassed Ave H to Ave K going north and south and from 10 th
street west to 40 th street west going east and west. In 2022 there were 71 homes that sold in this
area and in 2023 there were only 37 homes that sold in that area. So, on a year over year basis,
there were about half as many homes that sold this year (2023) compared to last year (2022) in
this particular area. Although the number of homes that sold were down, prices were a bit
stronger. I strongly believe that there is a pent-up demand for homes and with the likelihood that the
Federal Reserve will be lowering interest rates sometime in 2024, the number of home sales
will likely increase.
Holiday Season Party Ideas:
The attached flyer contains some fun things to do around the holidays. Another of my favorites
(not on the flyer) is to create a ‘seek and find’ list for the grandkids. I make a list of some of the
features on the ornaments on the Christmas tree and have the grandkids find them. I’ve done
this for the past few years and now they look forward to this little game.
Fun Facts for December:
1) There will be a full moon on December 26 th . 2) Both Male and Female Reindeer have
Antlers. 3) Winter Solstice (aka the shortest day of the year) will be on December 21 st .
