North Bay Real Estate Trends for June 2022

August 23, 2022

Home Real EstateFor purposes of this report, we are including the counties of Marin, Mendocino, Napa, Solano, and Sonoma.

Inventory at end of June: 2,429 homes and condos (30% over last year; 19% over last month)

Nationally, listings are up 31% over the past year.

There were 1,310 sales in June, which was 30% below last year’s total sales and 12% below last month’s sales.

The ratio of listings whose price was lowered for each county reads as follows:  Sonoma 16%, Mendocino 22%, Napa 23%.

Those counties whose sales were more than the original listing price were as follows: Mendocino 26%, Napa 45%, Sonoma 61%.

Average sales price = $955,270 (+8% YTY)

Median Days on Market = 31 (-26% YTY)

Sales vs. List price = 102% (0% YTY)

What conclusions are we to take from this report? We are not in a free-fall, but real estate has cooled slightly off the frenetic pace we were on for the past couple of years. We are certainly not looking at another 2008, and for good reason. There is plenty of equity in existing homes and inventory is just not plentiful enough to satisfy the demand.

If you need help with your mortgage search, give Sun Pacific Mortgage a call at 707-523-2099 or visit our website at www.sunpacificmortgage.com. We do fast, private loans considering loan-to-value rather than credit scores.

What Happened in the North Bay Real Estate Market in June 2022?

August 16, 2022

What Happened In The North Bay Real Estate Market In June 2022?The North Bay cities of Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Rohnert Park, and Windsor showed marked declines in homes and condo sales numbers compared to June 2021, but smaller declines from May 2022.  Here are some sample statistics:

Santa Rosa:

  • Available at end of June = 218 (-24% from June 2021; +28% from May 2022
  • New sales = 184 (-36% from June 2021; -11% from May 2022)
  • Median sales price = $750,000 (+6% from June 2021)
  • Days on Market = 29

Petaluma:

  • Available at end of June = 65 (+30% from June 2021; +30% from May 2022
  • New sales = 62 (-8% from June 2021; = to May 2022)
  • Median sales price = $947,000 (+6% from June 2021)
  • Days on Market = 21

Rohnert Park:

  • Available at end of June = 26 (-21% from June 2021; +1% from May 2022
  • New sales = 37 (-26% from June 2021; -21% from May 2022)
  • Median price = $733,000 (+32% from June 2021)
  • Days on Market = 22

Windson:

  • Available at end of June = 45 (+32% from June 2021; +55% from May 2022)
  • New sales = 27 (-31% from June 2021; -23% from May 2022)
  • Median price = $800,000
  • Days on Market = 24

The rise in mortgage rates has triggered some slowdown in the market, but at this time most economist see this as a “housing correction” not a “housing bust.”  They view the continued lack of available homes for sale to be the factor keeping prices from drastically falling currently.

What Happened in the Bay Area Real Estate Market During the 2nd Quarter?

July 26, 2022

What Happened In The Bay Area Real Estate Market During The 2Nd Quarter As One Realtor Put It, “If The Stock Market Is Like A Jet Skier On A Triple Espresso, The Real Estate Market Is Like A Giant Cargo Ship That Decelerates And Turns Slowly.”

As one Realtor put it, “If the stock market is like a jet skier on a triple espresso, the real estate market is like a giant cargo ship that decelerates and turns slowly.”

This is what we are seeing in the Bay Area as mortgage rates increase and inflation is climbing. Because of the sharp turn in the market, it is better to consider a three-month average than a single month’s data. The following data gives the Bay Area market results in each county for April, May, June:

Q2 2022 Medium Sales Price:

San Mateo: $2,200,000

San Francisco: $2,000,000

Marin: $1,995,000

Santa Clara: $1,880,000

Alameda: $1,460,000

Santa Cruz: $1,350,000

Contra Costa: $975,000

Napa: $973,000

Monterey: $875,000

Sonoma: $860,000

Solano: $625,000

With numbers like this, Bay Area properties are not likely to plunge into severe depreciation any time soon. Real estate continues to be the most stable of all investments according to the economists. Relax, no need to panic. This is just a part of the natural real estate market cycle we have experienced time and again.

The No.1 Reason Why the Housing Market Won’t Crash

July 19, 2022

The No.1 Reason Why The Housing Market Won’t Crash
A flaming-hot housing market saw an unprecedented 24% price increase since the outbreak of the virus last year. The market is just beginning to slow down a bit because Buyers are beginning to push back at the sky-high prices.

Some doomsayers would like you to believe that because housing went up too fast, it must now come down.  But that is in opposition to what the data demonstrates. When examined more carefully, the 2021 housing market and the 2008 housing bubble are very different bull markets.

Consider the complete and utter frenzy leading up to the financial crisis back in 2008. Homebuilders went on a building spree so that when the market started to slow in 2006, the surplus of new construction put negative pressure on prices.  It took years for housing to shake that glut.

How does that compare with 2021?  They are almost polar opposites.  Burned by the 2008 crisis, Homebuilders have been extremely conservative in recent years (2013-2021) averaging 1.2 million monthly housing starts as opposed to the 1.7 million per month leading up to the Great Recession. In fact, our nation is under-built by about 3.8 million single-family homes according to Freddie Mac.

The rush of Buyers during the pandemic only exacerbated the housing problem and between April 2020 and April 2021, housing inventory fell over 50% leaving us at a 40-year low.

Although the Fortune report quoted in this article is based on the entire nation, we have seen the extremes of this phenomenon in California. Sure, price growth may go flat here or even fall slightly, but a 2008-style crash is improbable without it.

If you are looking to invest your money in a more secure place than a volatile stock market, consider becoming a private investor with Sun Pacific Mortgage.  We offer private money mortgages to worthy Borrowers who need to close quickly or cannot qualify for a conventional loan.  All the Borrowers and loans have been carefully vetted before being promoted to our investor community.  Go online to www.sunpacmortgage.com to learn more about our programs.

Alt-A Hard Money By The Guys in the White Hats

Lower Hard money rates from 7% – 9% with this unique alternative finance program, for Borrowers and Buyers who are just shy of qualifying for conventional or traditional “A paper” loans:

  • Good credit (640 and above)
  • Below 60% Loan to Value
  • Property in good condition and location

Perfect example of why this popular program is so beneficial:

Broker reached out to us for his Home Buyer, who needed a 799k short term loan to buy an investment property in Mill Valley.  Underwriting was unable to provide final approval due to confusions about and LLC as the individual buying entity, despite great qualifications.

Buyer’s credit was over 750, he had a good down payment allowing for 56% LTV, he made great monthly income and had a lot of other real estate assets as well as excess funds in the bank. He was a perfect borrower – except he wanted to buy with his LLC – which is where we were able to wrangle up our unique Alt-A program and help!

If you have any question or scenarios for us, just call 707-523-2099 or visit our website at www.sunpacificmortgage.com.  We will let you know how we can wrangle up the right private money loan program to help.

Southern California Housing Market Update

June 28, 2022

Home prices in the first quarter rose 19.1% compared to a year ago and were 4.2% higher than in the fourth quarter of 2021. It appears as if the spike in mortgage rates during the first quarter has not dampened the market and, with more buyers than sellers, the market is still extremely hot.  The region saw double-digit price growth across the board, with Orange County again leading the way.

Of note is that home prices in Riverside County rose 10.7% compared to the prior quarter.  Rising mortgage rates and prices are certain to push affordability down even further, which is concerning. The question remains whether rising financing costs will start to slow the market. For the time being, this does not appear to be the case.

Image1 1 Home Prices In The First Quarter Rose 19.1% Compared To A Year Ago And Were 4.2% Higher Than In The Fourth Quarter Of 2021. It Appears As If The Spike In Mortgage Rates During The First Quarter Has Not Dampened The Market And, With More Buyers Than Sellers, The Market Is Still Extremely Hot.  The Region Saw Double-Digit Price Growth Across The Board, With Orange County Again Leading The Way.   In the first quarter of the year, the average time it took to sell a home in the region was 22 days, which was 6 fewer days than a year ago but 1 day longer than in the final quarter of 2021.  Homes in San Diego County continue to sell at a faster rate than other markets in the region. In the fourth quarter, it took an average of 16 days to sell a home there—two fewer days than it took a year ago.

The other four counties also saw the time it took to sell drop compared to a year ago, but market time rose very modestly in Riverside, Los Angeles, and San Bernardino counties compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.  Limited inventory combined with growing buyer demand is creating a very tight market. Any increases we see in the number of homes for sale in the coming months is not likely to be enough to satisfy buyers.

Despite low inventory levels and rising mortgage rates, the housing market continues to perform very well in Southern California. The spike in mortgage rates has yet to have a significant impact on price growth or demand; however, it will be interesting to check back in the second quarter because if there is an impact, that’s when we would likely see it.
