With California real estate inventory as low as it is right now, it’s an amazing time to sell or rent out one of your properties if you both own. For those in which one or the other or both of you don’t own yet, buying a place together is an excellent way to invest in your futures and build equity. Certainly running one household is more cost effective than two, but how do you know if you’re ready to make the commitment?

Linda offers her perspective as a real estate agent with over 36 years of experience helping clients buy and sell homes.
