That shift in rates has certainly influenced how families and individuals are weighing their options. Single-family home prices have held steady despite these financing changes, but I\u2019ve seen firsthand that condo buyers and sellers are facing a tougher road lately. Rising insurance premiums, larger reserve requirements, and mandatory balcony repairs have all contributed to higher HOA fees, and some communities are even adding special assessments. These increased costs are directly impacting purchasing power, making it more challenging for buyers to secure the right fit, especially in the condo market. For anyone navigating these changes, it\u2019s more important than ever to focus on your own needs, local neighborhood sales, and what\u2019s actually available\u2014rather than getting too caught up in national headlines. In my experience as a mortgage consultant, a tailored approach and honest advice make all the difference when it comes to finding the best path forward in this evolving market.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Southern California\u2019s housing market continues to show its strength and resilience, even as we see 30-year mortgage rates move into the low-7% range by October 1\u2014up noticeably from the mid-6% range just a few months back.
