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.

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.

Stated Income Loans from Sun Pacific Mortgage

December 7, 2021

Stated Income Loans

Experience has left a lot of us shuddering when we hear about mortgages based on “stated income.”  We remember the many Homeowners who fell into foreclosures and ended “upside down” in their mortgages largely because they were clearly unable to afford the mortgages they accepted.

Despite this, more recently one hears about the availability of “Stated Income” loans.  These can have multiple meanings and here at Sun Pacific, we want to be clear how our “stated loans financing” works:

Stated income loans from Private Investors are considerably more stable and credit worthy than the ones of a decade or so ago. We just require something showing income: this could be a CPA letter, employer letter, paystub, lease agreements, 3 months of bank statements, etc.  We also require proof that you, the Borrower, can repay the loan with income from available and stable source(s).

While other financial institutions require an excess of documentation to prove you do not exceed their debt-to-income ratios, need excess bank statements, tax return, etc. our company accepts a simple form of proof that verifies your ability to repay the proposed loan.  We do not have set debt-to-income ratios like majority of the other traditional and conventional entities.

Not having to provide boatloads of documentation makes the entire lending process less cumbersome and allows the loan to move through approvals much faster. For this reason, one can state their income, provide proof of such income and we can then often close a loan in less than a week.

If this sounds like a solution to your concerns, give us a call at 707-523-2099 to discuss a loan for your needs. Or visit our loan program page for Stated Income Loans by clicking here.

Bridge Financing with Sun Pacific Mortgage

November 30, 2021

Bridge Loan

One of our most sought-after financing programs, especially since the influx of multi offers occurring in home buying, has been our Bridge and Temporary Private Money Loan Programs.

Competition has been stiff over the past couple of years, prompting the need to make stronger initial purchase offers. Many of our Borrowers are looking for a solution that will allow them to purchase property before completing the sale of their existing home. The Bridge loan eliminates the need for any contingencies based on the sale of ones present home!

The Temp and Bridge loan programs also offer the use of equity, for assistance with a down payment on the new property.  We have devised a program that allows a term of 11 months with no prepayment penalty.  Rates primarily depend on Loan To Value.

If Private Money seems like a solution to your concerns about selling your home only to find you can’t find a replacement, give Sun Pacific Mortgage a call. With this program you can shop for your new house without the worries of your home selling in time.
