There is no fooling how the new communities in Portola Hills are impacting pricing.

If you have drove through Portola Hills, you will notice the building of the new communities is in full effect.   All positive for the community with the addition of new parks, shopping and trailways.  But how does it impact values   Below is a summary of what sold the first quarter of this year in Portola Hills.  As of this time no, new homes show closed in the last quarter.   However, currently there are 24 homes active in Portola Hills and 22 of them are all new builds.  This means the inventory is increasing, the area typically has less then 10 homes available this time of year.

Below is a look at how the real estate market performed.

If you are thinking of a move this year, now truly is the time to list your home.  As more inventory comes available this will impact your home.   Certainly we should see values increase but that really depends on the mix of homes and often times we see resales take a dip in pricing, until the sale through of the new homes is complete.   Why, everyone loves pretty new homes!   Buyers will be comparing your home to those lovelies and to a certain degree it must compete.

However, in any real estate market, pricing is subject to shift and with the new inventory, increased interest rates on the horizon buyers are wanting to buy now.  That means you have a huge opportunity to get your home sold now before both these events take place on this hill.

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

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

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.
