Portola Hills July Home Value Review

Image
Hard to believe we are half way through the year in 2017.   Time sure does fly by, so I hope you have been able to take some time and enjoy summer.   We have been busy with real estate as the market hasn't slowed down one bit, which is not typical for this time of year.  July and August are generally our slower months, as buyers and sellers are distracted by summer fun.    Below is a look a how the real estate market performed in July in Portola Hills. As you will note pricing is up 6% from this time last year, we also have more homes on the market with 15 vs 9 in 2016.  Homes are taking on average about 16 days to sell in Portola Hills.   However, I would anticipate that creeping up in August as summer distractions kick in high gear in August with last minute vacations and back to school.

Portola Hills Home Values Increase 16% from May 2016.. Is there still room to grow?

Image
You have heard the rule of supply and demand and it is certainly a factor in our latest market review for Portola Hills.  Below is a look at how the market finished up and as you will note, we saw a 16% increase in values from May 2016. The above numbers are consistent with the overall Orange County market when I look at Detached Single Family homes.  However, on the condo  i.e. attached market, pricing is behind the rest of the county, where the average price of a a attached home was $477k. Search Portola Hills Homes Opportunity is certainly available for home owners thinking of selling in Portola Hills.  Homes that are priced well, in showing condition and available are receiving multiple offers.   July is the transition time for the market as summer distractions take their hold on the market, but with the low inventory opportunity is still present!
