How is the Portola Hills Real Estate Market?

We took a quick look at what is happening in the Portola Hills real estate market so far in the month of June.  Typically as we enter June, the real estate market starts to slow down; people are focused on finishing school and making vacation plans.  But with COVID-19 and people being home for the last three months, we are seeing the real estate market pick up!

Below is snapshot of real estate activity in Portola Hills since June 1st.



As you can see in Portola Hills there are. 
  • 5 New Listings
  • 8 Homes went Under Contract
  • 2 Homes Sold
  • 2 Coming Soon
What is important to note, here is the number of homes moving into escrow and closing as it is greater then the number of new homes coming on the market.



This is important as it reflects, buyer demand!  Demand is strong across the county.  But especially for homes priced under $700,000.  Low Interest Rates + High Buyer Demand + Low Inventory, makes it the ideal time to be a move up buyer.  Feeling cramped in your home, since the stay at home orders?  Don't hesitate to contact me to review your needs and goals.

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?

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.
