ABOUT JAY

FRIEDMAN

I am a California native, born in Southern California, but raised in Roseville, CA where I graduated from Oakmont High School. In 1995, I moved to Reno, NV to attend the University of Nevada and prior to graduation, in 1998, my wife and I got married. I graduated in 1999 having earned a BSBA with a focus on Logistics Management. After graduation, my wife and I moved to Southern California for work where I was the Sales Manager for a national media company named Source Interlink (“Primedia” back then). At Primedia, I was the Sales Manager for "Import Tuner" magazine, and a salesman for many different national automotive enthusiast publications.  In 2003, my wife and I decided it was time to improve our quality of life. We moved back to Roseville to be near our families, and to start our own family. My biggest passions, next to my family and friends, are working with my great clients, traveling, playing with cars, and just plain enjoying this great gift called Life!

If you’re planning to buy a home this year, you may be focused on the spring market. And hoping that when spring does hit, you’ll see: Mortgage rates drop a little more. More homes hit the market. But here’s what most buyers don’t realize. Buying just a few weeks earlier could mean paying less, dealing with less stress, and feeling less rushed. Here are three reasons why accelerating your timeline over the next few weeks could actually be a better play. 1. Holding Out for Lower Rates May Not Pay Off A lot of buyers are hoping mortgage rates will fall even further. But that’s not the best strategy. Here’s why. Experts are pretty aligned on this: rates are expected to stay roughly where they are. Forecasts throughout the industry all point to the same thing: rates are projected to be in the low-6% range this year ( see graph below ) :

There’s finally a little good news for anyone who’s been priced out or sitting on the sidelines. Buying a home is getting more affordable. Monthly payments have started to come down, and the squeeze buyers have been feeling for the past few years is slowly loosening. Now, that doesn’t mean everyone can suddenly afford a home, but with how tough the market’s been, the improvement we’re seeing matters. Affordability Is Finally Moving in the Right Direction One of the best ways to see this shift is by looking at how much of a household’s income it takes to buy a home. According to Zillow , housing is typically considered affordable when it takes 30% or less of your monthly income to cover your expenses. That includes your mortgage payment, taxes, insurance , and basic maintenance. For the past few years, the math was well above that threshold, and it made buying a home unachievable for many. But now, we’re slowly moving back toward a balance. Zillow research shows it’s taking less of a typical household’s income to buy a home than it did just a few years ago ( see graph below ):

For a growing number of homeowners, retirement isn’t some distant idea anymore. It’s starting to feel very real. According to Realtor.com and the Census , nearly 12,000 people will turn 65 every day for the next two years . And the latest data shows as many as 15% of those older Americans are planning to retire in 2026. And another 23% will do the same in 2027. If you’re considering retiring soon too, here’s what you should be thinking about. Why Downsize? Now's the perfect time to reflect on what you want your life to look like in retirement. Because even though your finances will be going through a big change, you don’t necessarily want to feel like you’re living with less . But odds are, what you do want is for life to feel easier . Easier to enjoy. Easier to manage. Easier to maintain day-to-day. The Top Reasons People Over 60 Move You can see these benefits show up in the data when you look at why people over 60 are moving. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) finds the top 4 reasons aren’t about timing the market or chasing top dollar. They’re about lifestyle: Being closer to children, grandchildren, or long-time friends so it’s easier to spend more time with the people who matter most Wanting a smaller, more functional home with fewer stairs and easier upkeep Retiring and no longer needing to live near the office, so it’s easier to move wherever you want Opting for something smaller to reduce monthly expenses tied to utilities, insurance, and maintenance

TESTIMONIALS

I haven't sold or bought a home in over 35 years, I had no idea who to talk to about selling my home. Jay was recommended to me by Shelby Elias. Right away I saw that Jay was our man and he never did disappoint.  In fact he went far above and beyond what I was expecting and my expectations were high. I would recommend Jay and his team to anyone needing a realtor. Thank you Jay, you made a stressful time seem effortless.

Jay did an outstanding job with helping us buy and sell our home. In a tough sellers market, he was able to make our offer competitive and ultimately allow our family to be close together. He also went out of his way to coordinate a full remodel of our prior home, which was even located outside his service area! This was the main reason we were able to sell our home for 130k over asking price. Jay definitely goes above and beyond for his clients. One his best qualities is that he is extremely responsive and always picks up the phone or texts back.  We would absolutely recommend him for all your real estate needs!
