                    <![CDATA[Low housing inventory across San Diego and Riverside Counties has long been driven by the "lock-in" effect—where homeowners hesitate to list due to low mortgage rates and capital gains tax concerns. However, emerging Southern California seller relief measures, expanded tax exemption proposals, and Prop 19 tax base transfers are creating new opportunities for homeowners to move. Whether you are navigating senior rightsizing in a 55+ community, managing an inherited probate property, or seeking to maximize your sale price, strategic planning is essential. At HomesInSDCounty, Brad &amp; Karen Mattonen provide data-driven technical expertise to help you unlock home equity and make confident real estate transitions.
