Foothill Ranch rents stable from 2014 to 2015..

Renting in Foothill Ranch, we can help!  When people think of Realtors they often do not think we also handle rental properties. The first thought is we Realtors just handle sales in real estate.  However a professional agent will handle rentals in several instances, i.e. buying investment properties for investors, handling the rental transaction with a tenant. Possibly even property management of the property, if licensed to do so.

Even if agents do not handle rental transactions, it is important for agents to understand what the rents are in the area.   This week,  I took a quick look at the Foothill Ranch Rental Market.   

Below is a snapshot by category of the average rents in the area.  It is important to note these are for properties owned by an individual and rented out not an apartment complex.

Foothill Ranch Single Family Rentals 2015
In 2015 there were 33 Single Family Homes rented in Foothill Ranch with the average rent being $3064 for 1993 square foot home.

Foothill Ranch Townhome Rentals 2015

The Townhome category 6 homes were rented with the average square footage of 1147 square feet or $2208 per month.

Foothill Ranch Condo Rentals 2015
The majority of homes rented in Foothill Ranch were Condominiums and they rented for an average of $1898 for a 2 Bedroom at with 1016 square feet.

If I take a look at the overall market and split it into two categories attached vs detached rental pricing stayed fairly static between 2014 and 2015.  The average price per square feet to rent a detached home in Foothill Ranch in 2014 was $1.59 per square foot, no change in 2015.  The attached market saw a slight increase from $1.82 per square foot to $1.88, resulting in a 4% increase.   

For fun, I did a quick little mortgage calculation to compare mortgage payments vs rent and if you purchased a home at $400,000 (loan amount) with what the average rents are for a condo noted above.  As you can see within 5 years of owning a home, it actually becomes cheaper to buy vs. rent.

Where are all the houses for Sale?

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

Is your Portola Hills home going to be your first Rental Property?

Image
Did you know there are over 200 original owners here in Portola Hills.  The community was started in the late 80's so that is nearly 40+ years of equity growth for those homeowners.  Especially with the median price of the area nearing $1 million dollars.   Most of those homeowners have very low mortgages or the homes are paid off, which provides them with a wonderful opportunity to leverage their equity into other rental properties.  Perhaps the original home could become or has become their first investment property. With rising rents, right now is an excellent time to perhaps take the jump to become a landlord.   Check out these 3 Mistakes we see first time investors make in the real estate market. 1.  Not doing a cash flow analysis. 🤑 It is easy to say, oh my mortgage is this, I can rent it for that and do the math.  But it goes much deeper than that, understanding your overall cost is critical step in planning. 2.  Not working with a real estate agent. 💁‍♀️ Truth, having a R
