Bakersfield Realtor® · Vylla Home
Homes are sitting longer. Buyers finally have leverage.
I'm Jerry Dufloth, a Bakersfield Realtor® who helps buyers turn a slower market into a better deal, and helps sellers price and position their homes to sell. One agent, start to finish, who answers his phone.

Homes are sitting longer, and that changes who holds the cards.
After years of bidding wars, more Bakersfield sellers are open to negotiating. That leverage only helps you if someone on your side knows how to ask for it.
Price reductions
Listings that sat through a price cut tell you a seller is ready to deal. I watch them daily.
Seller concessions
Closing-cost credits, repairs and rate buydowns are back on the table, and they can be worth thousands.
New-construction incentives
Builders are offering incentives to move inventory. Bring your own agent on your first visit to keep representation.

Tell me your budget and timeline. I'll show you where the leverage is in your price range right now: which neighborhoods are softening, what sellers are conceding, and whether waiting would help or hurt you. If we're not a fit, you still leave with a plan.
