Wine Country Real Estate Trends

February 1, 2022

From Mid-March When We Were Told To “Shelter-In-Place” To The Rapid Acceleration Of The Market In May And Continuing Throughout The Remainder Of The Year We Experienced A Ride We Never Saw Coming.

Looking back over the 2021 real estate market is mind boggling. From mid-March when we were told to “shelter-in-place” to the rapid acceleration of the market in May and continuing throughout the remainder of the year we experienced a ride we never saw coming.

Frantic Buyers looked for properties in areas where they never dreamed of living before because of the transition to virtuality. With working from home becoming the norm, new possibilities opened, and Buyers rushed to snatch up more rural or country homes. The Wine Country was a first choice for many residents of Silicon Valley, San Francisco, the East Bay, and the Peninsula.

Predictions nationally see real estate prices appreciating only 5.7% in 2022 as opposed to the 15% appreciation of this past year, but the Wine Country could well be an exception. The lack of inventory and the lure of the country keeps calling, making North Bay prices continue to look inviting and worth the prospective battle to win.

If you didn’t find your new escape in 2021, it is not too late. Mortgage financing problems? Check out our website for all that we offer at www.Sunpacificmortgage.com or Call Sun Pacific Mortgage at 707-523-2099 to examine the private money loan programs available for hard-to-fund properties or Borrowers. With 34 years of experience behind us, we have seen it all and have found ways of helping thousands of our clients find the mortgage program that works for them.

Lately, one of our more requested loans is for a Bridge Loan, allowing the Seller/Buyer to purchase the new property before selling their present home. In the tight market we face today, contingency offers are less likely to be considered by Sellers. This is a short-term solution for Buyers.

2022 Housing Market Forecast for Single-Family Homes

January 4, 2022

2022 Housing Market Forecast For Single Family Homes

Good news and bad news were recently posted by the California Association of Realtors (C.A.R.) regarding the economic outlook on housing. The bad news: supply constraints and higher prices will bring California home sales down slightly in 2022. The good news: transactions will still post their second highest level in the past five years.

C.A.R. sees a decline in existing single-family home sales of 5.2% next year (416,800 units) down from the projected 2021 sales figure of 439,800.

The median home price is forecasted to rise 5.2% to $834,400 following a 2021 projected increase to $793,100 (20.3%).

According to C.A.R. President Dave Walsh:

“A slight decline next year from the torrid sales pace of the past year-and-a-half will be a welcome relief to potential homebuyers who have been pushed out of the market due to high market competition and an extremely low level of homes available for sale.”

Economists look for the cyclical effects from the latest economic downturn will wane, and a strong recovery will follow. Demand for homes will continue to outstrip available supply as the economy improves, resulting in higher home prices and slightly lower sales in 2022.

How Affordable Is Housing In The North Bay Counties

In a recent study, California’s Association of Realtors (C.A.R.) measured the percentage of households that can afford to purchase a median-priced, single-family home in California. This index is considered the most fundamental measure of housing well-being for home Buyers in the state.  Here are their findings for the North Bay Counties as of Q3/2021:

NAPA

SoCal Real Estate Cools Down—But Only a Bit

December 20, 2021

Socal Real Estate Cools Down—But Only A Bit

In recent months Southern California has seen a slight cooling of the cutthroat housing market. Perhaps it is due to home shoppers tired of losing bidding wars and who, subsequently, put their search on hold temporarily.

As one Realtor put it: “What we are seeing is just a minor slowdown. Buyers can just expect slightly less pain.”  Where once you might see 20 offers on a property, now you see 4. Better, but still not easy.

In October, home prices in the 6 counties of Southern California rose 14% from a year ago reaching an all-time median high of $690,000. Sales declined 6.6%, the first drop since June 2020.

Up until now, home prices were rising faster than they had for years for a variety of reasons:  low inventory, record-low mortgage rates and an influx of millennials into the market. The pandemic also drove more people to seek out more space, and first-time home Buyers left pricey city rentals for a home of their own.

Most economist don’t see these price increases continue at the pace we have been seeing over the past couple of years, yet most homes still sell above their list price.

Here is a snapshot of what we have seen in the market over the past year:

  • In LA County, the median home price rose 10.5% to $790,000, while sales fell 0.9%.
  • In Orange County, the median home price rose 15.7% to $920,000, while sales fell 13.6%
  • In Riverside County, the median home price rose 20.2% to $535,000, while sales fell 6%.
  • In San Bernadino County, the median home price rose 16.3%, while sales fell 5.3%.
  • In San Diego County, the median home price rose 13.8% to $740,000, while sales fell 12.4%.
  • In Ventura County, the median home price rose 10.7% to $725,000, while sales fell 6.5%.

If you are thinking of wading into the market this coming year, now that the frenzy has waned slightly, but have been turned down for a conventional loan, give Sun Pacific Mortgage a call at 707-523-2099 or visit our website www.sunpacificmortgage.com. We have helped thousands of Borrowers just like you achieve their dreams with a private loan from one of our many Investors.

Private Money Mortgage Lending

December 14, 2021

Do You Know Your Loan Purpose Could Make Or Break Loan Approval

With the Real Estate boom we have experienced over the past couple of years, there is an increasing demand for real estate investments financing. One type of financing for investment properties may come from a private lender, and just like with a traditional lender, the Borrower agrees on a set interest rate and timeframe that they will pay the loan back. With Private Lenders, rates are generally higher and the loan period is shorter. These loans are secured by the property’s equity and if the Borrower fails to make payments on time, just as with a traditional loan, the property can be foreclosed on, and the Lender takes possession.

In most cases, a Private Money Lender will focus more on the value of the property and its potential for returns, rather than the Borrower’s income and/or net worth.

Here are some aspects of borrowing Private Money, also known as Hard Money:

  • Hard Money loans are meant to be short-term, temporary financing. This may be necessary because the Borrower needs a fast close, has difficulty proving income, or has a less than desirable FICO score.
  • The interest rates vary depending on several factors:  Loan To Value primarily then a bit relating to property condition, location, or risk.
  • Percentage points (fees to access funding) will vary but they are never up-front costs.  These are how the Broker is paid.
  • Additional fees include:  Escrow costs, appraisals, wire fees and other miscellaneous administrative fees.

When you are in need of a real estate loan, the following information will be required of you:

  • The Loan Application, also known as a 1003
  • Any signed Purchase Agreement or Copy of Mortgage statement
  • Property Insurance Quote/Insurer’s information
  • Something showing income (bank statement, W2, tax return, CPA letter, etc.)

Sun Pacific Mortgage has been in the business of Private Money lending for 33+ years in California and has the expertise, plus knowledge needed to make your Borrowing experience less stressful. Give us a call at 707-523-2099 or visit our loan programs page to see what we can do for you.

Want Passive Income? Join Our Team of Investors

November 16, 2021

Guys In The White Hats Copy

Sun Pacific Mortgage has been in business for almost 34 years now, providing private mortgage loans to thousands of Californians. We continue to be there for those in need, due to the loyal and experienced Private Investors who trust us to perform our due diligence and provide them with sound investment opportunities.

Before we offer any loan to our Investors, we have carefully vetted the loan and the Borrower to reasonably ensure we endorse only those that have the legs to successfully carry it through to the end of the term.

Of all the loans entrusted to us, only 1 in 5 are presented to our Investors, thus proffering only those who fit the 2 main qualifications for getting a private loan through us:

  1. The principal factor considered for any Trust Deed that we offer is the ability of the Borrower to repay the loan and secondly, that there is enough equity/good down payment to give an Investor a reasonable sense of security in his/her risk.

We currently have thousands of partner-investors that receive new Trust Deed offerings each day, twice a day. When they see a potential opportunity for some passive income, they respond and receive further details regarding the property and the Borrower.

We are able to close most loans anywhere from one week to a month. In the past three months, we have averaged 30 new available Notes each month, for loan sizes between $150,000 and $1,800,000. Larger loans are generally fractionized, meaning more than one Investor is engaged in supporting the loan.

If you have considered or are ready to start increasing your wealth, give us a call at 707-523-2099 to discuss what it takes to join our family of trusted Investors. You can also check out our Investor website page here https://www.sunpacificmortgage.com/invest-in-trust-deeds/ and send in a form for further data.
