The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays to celebrate in the Bay Area. Here are a few local ways to celebrate the day.


Redwood City 4th of July Parade, Festival, and Fireworks

The Annual Fourth of July Parade in downtown Redwood City, the largest Independence Day parade in Northern California, attracts thousands of spectators. It brings entries from across the state. Most of the budget for the Parade is used for cash awards to participants, of which many winners are from Redwood City.


The parade starts promptly at 10 a.m. on Monday, July 4, 2022. You will know it’s time when you hear the cannon!

If you’ve been hesitant to list your house because you’re worried no one’s buying, or if you’re a buyer watching the market to understand the best time to buy, here’s your sign it may be time to talk with an agent. With falling mortgage rates bringing more buyers back into the market, now is the perfect opportunity for both sellers and buyers to make a move!

Many potential buyers are holding off on purchasing a home, anticipating that mortgage rates will drop even further. The common belief is that lower rates will make homes more affordable and provide better financing terms. This wait-and-see approach is based on the hope that a lower rate will save money over the life of the loan and make homeownership more attainable.

Our recent travels took us on a journey through three distinct landscapes—each offering its own unique experiences and memories. From the bustling streets of Atlanta to the serene beaches of Santa Barbara, and finally, to the rugged trails of the Sierra Nevada, it was a trip full of relaxation, exploration, and a few surprises along the way.

The seasonal impact on the market is as you might expect, a little slower. With many leaving on vacations, the number of homes on and coming to market reduces and open houses aren’t as packed. That doesn’t mean the market is on vacation though; quite the opposite! There's a wave of new buyers entering the market alongside those already in the market.
