Enlightenment and the 2021 Sacramento market

From wanting more space to moving closer to family, the practical epiphanies born of 2020 are shaping the 2021 housing market. Building on the lessons of a constricted world, I see clients boldly redefining how and where they want to live. My upcoming projects testify to their sagacity.

My next listing, available for showings January 20th, embodies the spirit of stay-at-home joy. In 2020, the owner transformed an already delightful three-bedroom, two-bath Tahoe Park bungalow into a serene refuge. A new “barn” style front fence, and voice activated Smart Home security system, gave the owner and side-kick Daisy [pictured] the freedom to enjoy home time securely and safely. Inside, bright neutral paint, rejuvenated stained wood floors and finishes like glass doorknobs in every room promote a clean, clear energy.

Career demands called my client out-of-state just as she finished her updates. She is mindfully selling her property, which is good news for Sacramento buyers, but also touchstone of our times.

Later in the month, I will roll-out a four-bedroom, three-bath tri-level with a new fenced pool in College Greens one block from the American River. This fun and roomy property will be a great fit for families adapting to living at home 24/7. The sellers, likewise, are looking for a country setting, hopefully with an acre, so children can run and run and run…between “classes.”

Also coming soon, newly built three-bedroom condo right by Kaiser Hospital in the Arden area. It has a minimalist, urban vibe with new everything and attached garage and sunny balcony. Despite her love for her condo, my client awakened to the truth that she wants a garden in which to grow vegetables, to putter, and to daydream.

The new homes I’ll be rolling out in 2021 and the custom searches I create for my buyers testify to the ways we are reimagining our lives. That we are already rolling-up our sleeves and doing it together has made this a happy new year indeed.
