So what do these numbers indicate!!  IT IS A SELLERS MARKET FOR PORTOLA HILLS HOMEOWNERS!! Are you thinking, really how can that be when we hear it is a buyers market? The rule of supply and demand prevail.  There is less than 1 month of inventory on the market.  5 of the homes that sold in April where sold in 0 days, meaning.... buyers waiting!!


In reality this market right now is like a perfect storm.... The demand is high for Sellers and the Interest Rate and Prices are more affordable than they have been in years for Buyers.  PS... Portola Hills also has an FHA Approved Condo complex.... So what does this mean.... You are approved for FHA buyers and many complexes currently are not approved, makes you all the more desirable.


What this market really needs is more homes!! If you are considering listing your home don't miss this opportunity.  Ask yourself is it better to have your home on the market when there is less inventory or more and more is coming.  If you are in a distressed situation, do it now, before the tide turns and it will turn..have you heard of the shadow inventory, it is real!  So there is an opportunity, right now, are you listening.  Remember, It's Possible!

Where are all the houses for Sale?

Image
If you are thinking about a move, downsizing, relocating and have been searching for a home, you are probably thinking "where are all the homes for sale" isn't this time of year that we would see them? The answer to the later is yes!  May is typically the busiest month in real estate.  However with over 80% of homeowners refinancing to the low rates over the last couple of years, homeowners are in no hurry to make a move into a higher rate.  Is this you?   But life happens and buyer demand is pretty strong in most price points.  One reason... is the equity position homeowners have.  Just released over 67% of homeowners homes are either paid off or they have less than 50% remaining on their mortgage.  That means there is a ton of equity in the market!  In addition, buyers have come to terms with interest rates.  They understand they can refinance later. As we do anticipate home prices to sky rocket due to this inventory issue not being resolved and rates will come down. He
