Escrow and Title: What's Actually the Difference?

A question we get constantly: aren't escrow and title the same thing? Not quite. Escrow is the neutral third party holding funds and documents until every condition of the sale is satisfied. Title is the research and insurance side — confirming clean ownership history and protecting against defects.

The Call That Takes Two Minutes and Saves a Closing�
October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and we say this every closing season because it still catches people: escrow will never send new wiring instructions by email without a phone call first, and we will never ask you to wire funds to an account that wasn't already confirmed verbally. If something about your instructions feels rushed or slightly off, stop and call before you send anything.�

📊 Market Minute: Northern California Mid-September Snapshot

It's still a seller's market across Northern California — the Market Action Index is averaging in the mid-50s this month. Pricing remains strong (median list averaging ~$1.48M) and inventory stays tight, which keeps momentum on the seller's side even as some markets start to soften.

Homes are moving quickly too — median days on market averages under 40 across the region. That pace means escrow needs to be dialed in and ready the moment an offer is accepted.

Reach out to your Cornerstone team for a market update specific to your area.
