Check out 👀 this Picture Perfect Flip in San Diego. What stood out to us right away on this listing were the great pictures and staging. The renovation was simple and clean, and the townhome/condo was modest. However, the staging & photos really made this listing stand out from other listing in the area. Inventory is expected to increase in 2024, compared to 2023, and standing out from the competition will become increasingly important.
We gathered up the top five tips from local real estate agents:
🏠Staging – You don’t need to pay a fortune for it, but we recommend staging at least 3 to 4 rooms
📸 Get Awesome Professional Photos 📸 👨💼- there’s no such thing as too many photos as long as they look good.
🔑 Hire the right agent that is responsive and professional. A bad agent can cost you a lot of profit!
💰 Price your property right , inventory is expected to increase in 2024, and price drops/stale listings will make your buyers start asking the wrong questions.
💻 Include a floor-plan and virtual walkthrough – a great online presentation will drive buyers to your property and create demand/competition.
Not only did they do a nice job, but the finished flip in 90 days. Also, and most importantly, they made a good profit.

Inventory has dropped down to about 3000 homes on the market, which is near the low point for the past 24 months, but sales volume has also dropped along with it. With right around 2 months of inventory, we are expecting the median price to continue it’s upward trajectory in the short term…
