Redding’s real estate landscape is being reshaped by heatwaves, embers, insurance churn, and smart rebuilding. Homes on safe lots but near parks and schools remain attractive—especially when backed by defensible design and climate-conscious upgrades. However, undervaluing wildfire risk can delay sales or leave buyers exposed.

Families, agents, and investors can succeed by integrating climate data, prioritizing resilience, and engaging with community preparedness. That path reinforces Redding’s appeal as a family-friendly city with strong schools and lifestyle amenities—while managing the realities of a changing climate.

If you’re thinking about selling, don’t let the market discourage you, let it guide you. The listings that didn’t sell this year weren’t doomed. They just started with the wrong strategy.

You can still win if you price right, are patient, and work with a local agent who knows how to position your home from the start.

Because in today’s market, success isn’t about waiting for conditions to change. It’s about getting your expectations right from day one.

After several slower-than-normal years, the market is finally starting to turn a corner. Declining mortgage rates, more listings, and growing buyer activity all point to a market gaining real traction.

Let’s connect to talk about what’s happening in our local market and how you can make the most of it in 2026.

Your California home’s insurance is more than a requirement—it's a vital safeguard for your family’s foundation, your belongings, and your financial future. Here’s what to remember:

• Insurance isn’t just about premium—it’s about suitable coverage for your location, home age, and family lifestyle.

• Disasters like earthquakes and wildfires require special add-ons and attention to policy details.

• Compare quotes smartly, look for meaningful discounts, and don’t settle for a plan that doesn’t cover your risks.

• Stay proactive: review and update your policy yearly, and react quickly if your current insurer sends a cancellation or non-renewal notice.

• If standard insurers walk away, the Reinsurance FAIR Plan is better than nothing—but treat it as a safety net, not a long-term solution.

Your home is where your life happens. Make sure its insurance is built to cherish and protect that life—through every storm, quake, or unexpected event. And when questions about coverage, limits, or neighborhood-specific strategies arise, charliebrown.realestate is here to support you.
