HERE'S YOUR WEEKLY LISTING REVIEW FOR

3706 S Alder Cir

Hi Lindsay,

We had no showings over the past 7 days, and there were no new sales or pending properties on Alder last week. Looking at the most recent activity, the last two properties to go pending—3821 S Alder Dr and 3716 S Alder Cir—both offer larger living spaces and two-car garages. So most buyers are looking for the space at the more affordable price. My recommendation to you at this time would be a price reduction down to $315K so we are more aligned with the rest of the market in your HOA.

This week, the biggest factor we’re watching locally is the impact of the recent fires and how they may influence the real estate market in the coming weeks and months. It’s still too early to know exactly how this will affect buyer demand, inventory, pricing, or specific areas, and we expect the market response to become clearer over time. What we’re seeing from buyers right now is a mixed reaction. Some buyers feel the uncertainty is a reason to move sooner and secure a home before conditions potentially change, while others are taking a more cautious approach and choosing to hold off until they have a better sense of how the situation develops. In other words, we’re seeing both sides of the story—some buyers are becoming more motivated, while others are becoming more hesitant.

For sellers, the key takeaway is that buyer motivation may become more dependent on the individual property and its perceived value. As we watch the market respond to the fires, we’ll be paying close attention to showing activity, buyer feedback, new inventory, and how quickly properties are moving. There’s no clear way to predict the full impact yet, so for now, we’ll continue watching the data and adjusting our strategy based on what buyers are actually doing rather than reacting prematurely.
