🌅 Finish Summer Strong!

As August winds down, it's a great time to keep your transactions moving forward and prepare for a busy fall market.

Did you know? A successful closing starts long before closing day. Escrow helps coordinate the many moving parts of a real estate transaction—including holding funds securely, managing important documents, meeting contractual timelines, and ensuring all conditions are satisfied before ownership is transferred.

Choosing an experienced escrow partner can help reduce delays, improve communication, and create a smoother experience for everyone involved.

At Oakwood Escrow, we're committed to delivering trusted expertise, responsive service, and the attention to detail that helps every transaction close with confidence.

Here's to finishing the summer strong and building momentum for a successful season ahead!

🔐 Protect your investment by staying one step ahead of wire fraud.

Real estate transactions are a common target for cybercriminals, especially as closing day approaches. A few extra moments of verification can make all the difference.

Before sending funds:
✔️ Verify wiring instructions by calling your escrow officer using a trusted phone number.
✔️ Never rely solely on emailed wiring instructions.
✔️ Be cautious of unexpected requests to change payment details.
✔️ Reach out to your escrow team immediately if something doesn't seem right.

At Oakwood Escrow, protecting our clients and partners is a top priority. We're committed to helping ensure every transaction i handled securely, professionally, and with peace of mind.

📢 FinCEN Update for Real Estate Professionals

The FinCEN residential real estate reporting rule is still on hold, but an important legal development has occurred. The government has officially appealed the court's decision that vacated the rule, and the case is now headed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

A motion to temporarily reinstate the rule is expected, meaning the reporting requirements could return before the end of the summer.

Our recommendation:
• Continue gathering the information needed for FinCEN compliance.
• Be prepared to file reports if the rule is reinstated.
• Don't wait until the last minute—being ready now can help keep your transactions on schedule.

At Oakwood Escrow, we're closely monitoring every update so we can help our agents and clients navigate these regulatory changes with confidence.

✔️ Owner's Title Insurance (depending on local custom)
✔️ Transfer taxes (where applicable)
✔️ Existing loan payoff
✔️ Real estate commissions

The housing market is giving “limited edition” vibes recently 😎

From June 2025 to June 2026, the San Diego County single‑family housing market remained strong, with higher sales activity and continued price growth despite ongoing inventory constraints.

Home sales climbed to 1,622, up 17% from last year, signaling solid buyer demand across the county. Prices also moved higher, with the median sold price reaching $1.08M, up 7%, showing that well‑located and well‑priced homes continue to attract strong interest.

As we’ve seen in recent months, inventory remains tight, with active listings falling -17% to 3,320, limiting the number of homes available for buyers. Even with fewer listings, homes sold more quickly, as the median days on market dropped from 21 to 18, indicating that desirable properties are continuing to move at a healthy pace.

Financing conditions improved as well. The average mortgage rates declined to 6.49%, down from 6.77% a year ago.

Overall, the San Diego market feels active and competitive. Sales and prices are both trending upward, homes are selling faster, and inventory remains limited. While affordability continues to be a factor, lower mortgage rates and strong demand are helping keep the market moving at a steady pace.
