The Samsons stand out with a bright California osteria
The Samsons Stand Out With a Bright California Osteria
by Jessica Koslow, Playa Vista Magazine, 3/29/2023

Superfine Playa’s electric blue building and bright red letters near the roof boldly announce its arrival at Silicon Beach’s RUNWAY Playa Vista. The playful structure is energizing and eye-catching. What used to be The Bull and Butterfly Steakhouse transitioned to a casual California osteria on January 1 and officially opened its doors on March 22.

It was a quick turnaround, explains owner Dina Samson, who shares that her team had to hit the ground running, repurposing and refinishing.

Economic uncertainty continues to bring mortgage rates down. Over the last several weeks, declining rates have brought borrowers back to the market but, as the spring homebuying season gets underway, low inventory remains a key challenge for prospective buyers.
Buyers Are Making a Gradual Return to the U.S. Property Market This Spring
Buyers Are Making a Gradual Return to the U.S. Property Market This Spring
by Liz Lucking, Mansion Global, 3/30/2023

As spring emerges, so are potential home buyers across the U.S., according to a report Thursday from Realtor.com

Homes typically sold in 54 days in March, faster than in January and February, suggesting that buyers are active in the market—even if their numbers are more muted than this time last year, according to Danielle Hale, chief economist at the online property portal. 

While properties are sitting on the market for 18 days longer than they were in March 2022, they’re still selling some two weeks faster on average than before the pandemic boom, the data showed.

More Home Sellers Are Sitting Out of the Spring Housing Market
by Diana Olick, CNBC, 3/30/2023

It might seem like a great time to list your home for sale. Buyers are flooding back into the market, mortgage rates have fallen off their recent highs, and there are still far too few homes for sale to meet demand. But potential sellers aren’t budging.

New listings continued to fall in March, according to Realtor.com, down 20% from the same month last year. That decline in new listings outpaced the 16% drop posted in February. New listings in March were nearly 30% below pre-pandemic levels.
