Greetings, Pico-Robertson neighbors and future homeowners! Nathan Derry here, your dedicated Realtor from JohnHart Real Estate. As we bid farewell to 2023, let's reflect on the exciting real estate developments in our vibrant community and explore the wisdom of securing your child's future through a savings fund.

Pico-Robertson's Resilient Real Estate Market

In December 2023, Pico-Robertson experienced an impressive absorption rate of 47%, indicating a thriving real estate market. Among the 19 active listings, 9 homes found new owners swiftly, boasting an average sales price of $2,150,000 and a mere 25 days on the market. These numbers showcase the desirability of our neighborhood and the efficiency of real estate transactions.

Investing in Your Child's Future

Now, let's shift our focus to an investment that goes beyond property values—the future of your children. As we enter a new year, consider starting a savings fund for your child. Here's why it's a brilliant idea:

1. Financial Literacy: Instill a sense of financial responsibility in your child from a young age. A savings fund provides an excellent opportunity to teach budgeting, saving, and the value of money.

2. Education Costs: Whether it's college, vocational training, or entrepreneurship, a dedicated savings fund can significantly ease the burden of future education costs.

3. Long-Term Growth: Over time, a well-managed savings fund can grow, providing a financial cushion for significant life events like buying a home, starting a business, or getting married.

4. Teachable Moments: Involving your child in the process of saving and making financial decisions creates valuable teachable moments that will stay with them for life.

5. Generational Wealth: By starting a savings fund for your child, you're contributing to the creation of generational wealth—a legacy that can positively impact your family for generations to come.

Act Now, Reap Rewards Later

As Pico-Robertson's real estate market flourishes, so too can your family's financial well-being. By investing in your child's future, you're not only securing their path to success but also contributing to the prosperity of our community.
