A Resource I Personally Use (and a Little Something for You)
I’m often asked about reliable vendors, especially when it comes to ongoing home maintenance. Recently, I’ve been using a service called Honey Homes at my own home, and it’s been a great experience. They offer a membership-based approach where a dedicated handyman helps take care of those projects that tend to pile up, including everything from small repairs to seasonal upkeep. It’s the kind of support that makes it easier to stay ahead of things rather than constantly reacting.
As homeowners, we all know how quickly the to-do list grows. Having someone reliable who knows your home and helps keep everything running smoothly can make a real difference. Because I’ve had such a good experience, their team offered me something I thought would be worth sharing. I have ten complimentary trial passes to give to clients who might want to try it out.
Each trial includes:
- A 30-minute planning visit + 1.5 hours of handyman time
- No strings attached, just a chance to experience the service
If you’ve been meaning to tackle a few things around the house, this is a great way to get started. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you’d like one of the passes. I’m happy to share them. You can also learn more here: https://www.honeyhomes.com
Now, let’s take a look at what’s happening in today’s market.
March 2026 Market Update - Spring Momentum Is Building in Lamorinda
As we move deeper into the spring market, the familiar pattern of rising buyer demand meeting limited housing supply is already beginning to shape local conditions.
In Lamorinda and across much of the Bay Area, this imbalance is creating a market defined by increasing competition, faster sales, and more homes selling above asking price. Spring is typically the most active time of the year, and current trends suggest that upward pressure on home values will likely continue in the months ahead.
Historically, median home prices often reach their highest levels of the calendar year during the spring season. This is driven not only by the tight supply of available homes, but also by the seasonal arrival of more luxury properties to the market. As we’ve seen over the past year, affluent buyers continue to play an outsized role in demand, particularly in communities like Lamorinda.
Looking ahead, one potential wildcard is the broader global environment. Ongoing geopolitical tensions — including the developing Iran conflict — could influence inflation, interest rates, financial markets, and overall consumer confidence. At this stage, it’s unclear whether those factors will meaningfully impact housing demand locally. Unlike last year’s tariff shock, which abruptly cooled the spring market, there are currently no clear signs of a similar disruption.
For now, the fundamentals remain strong: limited inventory, steady buyer demand, and a market that is entering its most competitive season of the year.
Preparation and timing continue to make all the difference for both buyers and sellers.
If you’re thinking about making a move this year, now is a good time to start planning ahead.
