Despite the fear mongers’ warnings, life and real estate go on as before in San Francisco and the Peninsula when we are speaking of the real estate market. While there is no longer the frenetic pace of the past two years, buyers and sellers continue to engage in transactions with hefty profits. We have only to examine the past quarter of San Francisco sales to see that, while there has been a very slight slow down in business, homes are still selling above asking price for single-family residences.

Southern California Housing Market Trends 2022 Southern California Set Or Matched Price Records For The First Half Of 2022. Here Are Some Statistics Which Tell A Story Of The Continuing Interest In California Real Estate:

Southern California set or matched price records for the first half of 2022. Here are some statistics which tell a story of the continuing interest in California real estate:

  • Los Angeles County: the median price rose 8.1% to $860,230 in June
  • Orange County: the median price rose 11.2% to $1,265,000 while sales decreased by 36.1% (the highest decline in sales of all 6 counties).
  • Riverside County: the median price rose 12.2% to $645,000 while sales decreased by 27.4%.
  • San Bernadino County: the median price rose 12.6% to $490,000 while sales decreased 27.5%

North Bay Real Estate Market and the U.S.Economy

August 2, 2022

North Bay Real Estate Market And The U.s.economy

The red-hot North Bay real estate market has responded to the climbing interest rates and growing inflation by slowing sales. For rates to go from 3% to 6% is a shock to the market. The current market still favors Sellers, however.

In the North Bay year-over year property sales in May were down in Sonoma County by 22% (385 homes sold); Napa County 12.1% (105 homes sold); Marin County by 10.1% (178 homes sold). In Solano County sales rose 5.8% with 328 homes sold in May. This increase was not a surprise to CAR Chief Economist, Oscar Wei, who knows that Solano County is the most affordable county in the North Bay.

There is a definite shift in the market. Buyers are realizing that they don’t need to put in an offer on the first thing they see, and there is a decrease in multiple offers and homes selling for more than the asking price. It is note-worthy that the economists see this as a shift to a more balanced market rather than a crash like we witnessed in 2005 to 2012.

In May, 16% of homes in the three counties sold at reduced prices, and by late June that number jumped to 19%. There is a slowdown of both the low end and the high-end Buyers. People are still buying, just not at the frenzied rate they have been in recent years.

Different demographics have influenced the real estate market in recently, but that could be changing. With baby boomers becoming seniors who may be more reluctant to downsize because of higher interest rates, much of the market will belong to the millennials.

We know that there will always be a demand for housing in the North Bay. So, while things may not be as hectic as they have been for the past 3 years, we can relax a bit and welcome the more stable, balanced market that we are experiencing today.

Whether it be a Buyers’ or a Sellers’ market, Sun Pacific Mortgage is here to offer our privately funded loans to those borrowers who need a fast close or have been turned down for a conventional mortgage.

Are We Looking at Deceleration or Depreciation?

July 12, 2022

You are probably well aware that houses have skyrocketed recently, but did you know that this has been true for the past 122 consecutive months? Much of this increase was due to the abundance of Buyers and the lack of Sellers. Experts are forecasting ongoing appreciation, just at a decelerated pace. In other words, prices will keep climbing, just not as fast as they have been.

Mark Fleming, Chief Economist at First American, identifies a key reason why home prices won’t depreciate or drop:

“In today’s housing market, demand for homes continues to outpace supply, which is keeping the pressure on house prices, so don’t expect the prices to fall.

Experts are forecasting ongoing appreciation, just at a decelerated pace. In other words, prices will keep climbing, just not as fast as they have been. The graph below shows home price forecasts from seven industry leaders. Note that none are forecasting prices to fall. 

Are We Looking At Deceleration Or Depreciation?Looks like Investors and Buyers alike remain in an outstanding position to make substantial profits from their investments.

Having been in business for 34+ years, we are always looking for new Investors to join our team. Real estate continues to be one of the strongest investments, so if you or someone you know are interested in making up to 9-13% return on investments, give us a call at 707-523-2099 or fill out the form on our Investor website page here: https://www.sunpacificmortgage.com/invest-in-trust-deeds/

San Francisco and Bay Area Real Estate Report for May

July 5, 2022

1

Even though we have been bombarded with negative headlines for over a month, the housing market in the North Bay has remained strong. San Francisco Bay Area has seen over 30% growth for residential real estate since the pandemic! That is huge! It has been on a 10-year bull run. Even though real estate markets have historically been on a 7-year cycle, this wild ride has been constant for 13 years! Hard to believe? Look at the statistics for single-family home sales for May:

San Francisco:

Avg. sale price: $2,410,387 (April $2,502,144)
Avg. list price: $2,148,931
Avg. Days on Market: 18
Homes sold: 282

Menlo Park:

Avg. sale price: $4,009,035
Avg. Days on Market: 10 (9% over asking)

Foster City:

Avg. sale price: $2,529,181
Avg. Days on Market: 11 (18% over asking)

Belmont:

Avg. sale price: $2,925,721 (15% over asking)
Avg. Days on Market: 10

San Carlos:

Avg. sale price: $3,052,856 (13% over asking)
Avg. Days on Market: 7

San Mateo:

Avg. sale price: $2,302,186 (15% over asking)
Avg. Days on Market: 11

Burlingame:

Avg. sale price: $3,289444 (9% over asking)
Avg. Days on Market: 9

 

Most analysts believe that the secondary and tertiary markets will be hit harder going forward, and that prices will begin to come down slightly for every market. Sellers will need to get realistic about our new normal and Buyers will need to be patient. Buyers will still need to pull the trigger on homes they love when the opportunity arises.

If you are interested in getting into this strong wealth builder but have been disqualified for a loan now that rates have risen, give Sun Pacific Mortgage a call at 707-523-2099 or visit our website www.sunpacificmortgage.com. We have been in business supporting California Homebuyers for 34 years with private mortgages. Our investors are standing by ready to make your dreams of home ownership come true.
