🥠Predictions for the 2021 Bay Area market remain strong with many city buyers escaping to the fabulous Lamorinda “burbs” in search of home office space, more square footage, and backyards (pools!).
“The market is outperforming expectations even with low inventory. Rates are at historic lows and sales have rebounded to their highest level in 15 years.” (Contra Costa Association of Realtors’ Chief Economist for California, Jordan Levine)
🚚If you are considering making a move or are trying to encourage a co-worker or friend to come check out the best community in the East Bay, we’d love to hear from you!
You don’t need to have a dedicated office to be successful when working from home.
Designate a space or room in your home to do work and set yourself up for success–make sure the space is clean, quiet, and provides privacy to take important meetings and phone calls. Consider adding artwork and greenery to make it a more inviting and creative space.
