Portola Hills Homeowners Received over $700,000 in Profit in June

June was a busy month in the real estate market and Portola Hills was no exception;  Just in time, before we see the market begin to shift with summer distractions no less.  Ready for this figure, homeowners who sold in June, received an over $700,000 in extra profit.  That is amount of money they received over the list price.  Unfortunately not all seller's had these results, surprisingly there were sellers who sold below market value as well. 

Below is a snapshot of the how the Portola Hills real estate market finished in June.  

If the home was priced right, presented well and available to see, most homeowners should have received multiple offers.  However, we did see in June a few homes sell below market and/or reduce pricing.  With the low inventory and high buyer demand this makes me wonder how strong the negotiations were.  In this market it is critical to work with an agent who's strength is in negotiations and will ensure your best interest are being looked after.  Buyers are putting some crazy details in their offers, like no inspections contingencies, no loan etc.  But is the best for the Seller, not always and can result in issues up to the very end of the transaction or well after.  This is why we highly recommend working with a seasoned agent who has been through a market like this before.

We are starting to see a slight shift in the market, which is good news for buyers.  But is it a seasonal shift or long term? It looks to be a seasonal shift as inventory remains low and interest rates remain low, providing buyers the perfect move up opportunity.  But homes are starting to stay on the market a bit longer, which also provides buyers a little bit more breathing room when it comes to competition.

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?

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
