Video Transcription of August 2018 Real Estate Market Update

Tyson Lund with the Lund Team here to give you a market update for the Summer as we move from the Summer into the Fall, and to help you set your expectations whether you're buying or selling.

Video Transcription of June 2018 Real Estate Market Update

Tyson Lund with the Lund Team here for a market update for the summer. And we want to share with you a few interesting statistics as we go forward. We are finding that it's all about expectations. And right now sellers can do themselves a big, big favor by understanding some small nuances in this market.

Video Transcription of Winter 2017 Real Estate Market Update

Tyson Lund, with The Lund Team, giving you a December Market Update for North County.

We're in a time period, typically, where there's fewer properties being listed and put on the market. Homeowners are hunkering in for the holidays and spending time with family and that's a wonderful thing.

Homeowners looking to potentially sell in the New Year are making their plans. You can do wonders by preparing for that. And what does that mean? That means doing the Honey Do list,…
