For realtors across the land, daylight savings time is almost treated like a holiday. Most agents find 11 different ways to notify everyone they know that the clocks are changing. They send post cards, text messages and all kind of email blasts. I spend 15 minutes this morning just deleting emails reminding me to spring forward. It is a very well covered subject. As a real estate agent in Calabasas I suppose I have a duty to participate in this ritual. Today’s blog will have to suffice as my announcement that the clocks have changed. Besides being a great time for realtors to reach out to the world about clocks, daylight savings time is also a dramatic turning point for market activity. The terms “Spring Forward” and “Fall Back” also coincide with the traditional seasons of real estate. In spring the market moves forward and in fall the market settles back.
