Daylight Saving Time begins this Sunday, March 9, when clocks move forward one hour. That means walks in the evenings are back!
There has been growing discussion about eliminating the clock change entirely. But it's not happening yet.
For now, the clock change stays — so don't forget to move your clocks forward and enjoy the longer evenings ahead.
Spring in the East Bay is one of the best times of year, especially as the housing market starts to heat up. We want to share our most recent success listing.
1321 Tapestry Lane, Concord
Some of the best outcomes in real estate come from patience and preparation.
We had been in conversations with the seller for more than six months before the home ever hit the market. During that time, we stayed in close contact, monitored market trends, and worked with the seller to plan the right strategy.
When the timing was right, we implemented Compass' Three-Phase Marketing Strategy:
Phase 1 – Private Exclusive Quietly testing buyer demand within Compass' internal network and get real time feedback.
Phase 2 – Coming Soon to build interest across a much wider audience.
Phase 3 – Public Launch Positioning the home with strong marketing and clear messaging that addressed potential buyer objections upfront.
The result:
Pending in just 8 days • Multiple offers • Sold nearly 6% above market value • A record-breaking price for the community
Most importantly, the sale exceeded the sellers' expectations and surpassed the latest comparable sale in the neighborhood.
This is a great example of how prep, positioning, and timing can dramatically impact the final outcome.
