Portola Hills Real Estate Sales 1st Quarter 2016
I don't know if you are as shocked as I am that we have officially closed the 1st Quarter of 2016. We are just about mid-month into April and many have taxes on their mind. Is a move this next year beneficial for tax savings?
The first quarter of the year typically is a bit quieter up until tax time. Then we tend to see the spring surge in inventory come on the market. Will that be the case for the rest of spring... The market certainly needs more inventory so I hope so
Homeowners who chose to sell their Portola Hills home in this last quarter saw significant price gains. Below is a look at the entire area along with the gains split out for attached and detached homes.

Inventory of homes did jump up slightly this past week with 10 active properties in Portola Hills. If inventory continues to increase this will stabilize price gains. It will be interesting to see how The Oaks development will effect higher end homes in the area. If I was thinking of selling my estate home, I wouldn't want to compete against beautiful new homes... Buyers will be looking at the new amenities and comparing to your home. So unless your home is just as beautiful it may get overlooked.. Now is a great time to take advantage of the increase in pricing before these new homes come on the market in Portola Hills.
