Your Asking Price Matters More Now Than Ever

Why Cash Out Refinances

We are aware of the housing market slowdown from the frenzy we saw over the past two years. But what does that mean if you’re thinking about selling your home?

Because real estate prices are still appreciating although at a slower pace and mortgage rates are rising, there are more homes on the market. This new market requires sellers to be incredibly careful about how they price their home.

During the pandemic, sellers could price their home higher because demand was so high, and supply was so low. This year, things are shifting, and that means sellers need to rethink their strategy. The price set for homes sends a message to potential Buyers. If you price it too high, you run the risk of deterring Buyers.

If you need to lower your price later to attract more Buyers after it has sat on the market for a while, it can be seen as a red flag. Some Buyers will wonder what that means, and it can be a serious “turn-off.”  Your Real Estate Agent is the best able to give you a true picture of what the market looks like in your area to help you set a suitable selling price.

Real estate experts have a saying: “If it’s sitting there, there are three reasons: price, price, price.”  That may not have been the case a few months ago, but today’s Buyer is savvy enough to know that the market is not what it was for the past couple of years. Buyers will not be as quick to jump without negotiating.

So, if you are a Buyer in today’s market but are finding it difficult to obtain a loan or want to make a stronger offer with a quicker close, consider a short term private loan from Sun Pacific Mortgage (707-523-2099) or visit our website at www.sunpacificmortgage.com. We have helped thousands of Buyers like you for over 34 years in California. We can help get you into a mortgage fast and with far fewer hurdles to jump over – our average days to close is just 2 weeks!

The Housing Market in California Today

California Neighborhood A Summary Of The Real Estate Market In California Might Read, “Mixed Bag”.  While Home Prices Increased Year-Over-Year In July, The Number Of Homes Sold Fell By A Whopping 31.1% And The Number Of Homes For Sale Rose As Compared To Last Year. According To The California Association Of Realtors 30 Counties Recorded Sales Declined More Than 30% From Last Year.

A summary of the real estate market in California might read, “mixed bag”.  While home prices increased year-over-year in July, the number of homes sold fell by a whopping 31.1% and the number of homes for sale rose as compared to last year. According to the California Association of Realtors 30 counties recorded sales declined more than 30% from last year.

The Central Coast experienced the largest decline among major regions, with sales decreasing 37.3% from the previous year.  However, the good news for sellers is, median sales price continued to grow in nearly 80% of the California counties!  The final median home prices decreased by only 3.5% to $833,910 (meaning homes are selling for less than asking price) – but this median home price was 2.8% higher than last year at this time.

The report for August reads as follows:

  • Closed sales per day: 513
  • Pending sales per day: 306
  • New listings per day: 260
  • % Of active listings with reduced price: 41.6%
  • % Of homes closed above list price: 35%
  • Median days of the market for closed sales: 22

Currently, we see some markets cooling down.  It is good to keep in mind that all real estate is local and the national news headlines don’t necessarily apply to every market around the country. It would appear that in most of California it has gone from an extreme seller’s market to a more balanced one. One thing remains constant: real estate is now and always has been a sound investment.

If you are looking for a profitable place to invest your portfolio, give Sun Pacific Mortgage a call at 707-523-2099 or visit our website at www.sunpacificmortgage.com and become one of our many private investors in Deeds of Trusts.  Earn upwards of 13% return on your investments in stronger real estate Notes.

The Likelihood of Your Home’s Value Declining

Hard Money Bad Money Not So

In a recent article published in Fortune magazine, there appeared an interactive map of the nation. Each state’s local regions were rated as to the likelihood of real estate values declining over the coming 12 months. Here are the groupings the real estate research firm (CoreLogic) used for the June analysis:

  • Very High: Over 70% chance of a price dip
  • High: 50-70% chance
  • Medium: 40-50% chance
  • Low: 20-40% chance
  • Very low: 0-20% chance

These are the California regions which were rated and their categories:

Very Low: Chico, Modesto

Low: Riverside-San Bernadino-Ontario, San Diego, Redding, Napa, Merced, San Louis Obispo, Santa Maria-Santa Barbara

Medium: Santa Rosa-Petaluma, Stockton, San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Salinas, Bakersfield, Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim

High: Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom, San Francisco-Oakland-Berkeley, Vallejo, Fresno

While the odds of home prices dropping remains low, the housing market is slowing down. The pandemic housing boom may be over, but that does not mean housing prices will drop precipitously, especially in California.

CoreLogic assessed factors like income growth projections, unemployment factors, affordability, mortgage rates, and inventory levels to determine the likelihood of regional home prices dropping. California overall does not appear to fare poorly compared to the rest of the country.  Real estate has continued to be the best investment over the long haul regardless of blips in the economy.
