EL CENTRO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - Houses on the market are going faster than expected both in Yuma and Imperial County.
Buyers are quickly contacting listing agents to make appointments as soon as home listings are made public. Some clients sometimes going as far as making offers contingent upon seeing the home.
That’s not how realtors expected the market to be at the start of the pandemic. On the contrary, the pandemic raised many concerns.
Sylvia Rubio, broker and president of Rubio Realty said, “as soon as march hit we were like oh my gosh what’s going to happen? I personally thought that it was going to come to a screeching halt, but it didn’t.”
