p a i d a d v e r t i s e m e n t What do the Los Angeles Fires Mean for Our Real Estate Market? At The Brokery, we have already fielded multiple calls from Los Angeles residents impacted by the recent fires. The calls are emotional and raw. Husbands and wives trying to figure out how to put their families in the best situation possible to carry on after their homes, schools, stores, and churches were just wiped off the map. From what I have gathered so far through my conversations with those impacted by the fires is that the majority of them already have friends and family here in the Valley or a past experience that they find comforting. Additionally, these new residents are looking to rent from the outset to get settled, identify schools, negotiate their insurance payouts, and make sure that they enjoy the Arizona lifestyle before jumping into a purchase. It is more of a fact- finding mission than it is a goal to buy a home at the moment. While this new crowd is affluent and capable of purchasing luxury homes in our market, we do not believe there will be an immediate impact on sales, at least not enough to move the whole market. Sure, there will be some outliers who come into town and purchase big homes, but that won’t be the average Los Angeles transplant. What we do know is that luxury rentals will be in extremely high demand and our schools will need to be staffed appropriately to handle the additional student load. We hope that this helps bring you some color to the recent events. This situation remains fluid and we will do our best to keep you up to date on any market movements stemming from this disaster. We feel for our friends and co-workers affected by the fires, and hope that they can find some comfort here in our communities. If you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
