Portola Hills Homeowners holding onto a Pot of Gold

Don't you love after it rains when you see a rainbow... If you have ever driven up the hill to Portola Hills you often see one.  

I just got done looking at the numbers for how the real estate market did in Portola Hills in the month and February and it remained very strong, add a bit more equity to homeowners in the community.  While the number of transactions were down from 2023 to today,  5 in 2023 - 3 sales in 2024,  values were up over $1.5 million. 

Take a look below at the our Portola Hills February Market Report!

WHAT IS MY PORTOLA HILLS HOME VALUE 

Low inventory continues to drive the market, but different from the last few years in Portola Hills, there currently are not any new homes for sale.  That means, home sellers have the opportunity to capture all those price gains for yourself.

The Oaks at Portola Hills, has advised they will start building again but those homes would most likely not be available until end of 2024 early 2025 and they will be on the high end.

If you are considering making a move and not sure about the timing, I recommend we still have a chat.  Let's go over your goals, plus what is happening in the market to determine when is the best time for you to list your Portola Hills home to sell.  It may not be right now, but here is the thing you'll have all the data to make the best decision.

I also receive buyer inquiries all the time, there is a good chance we might be able to get your sold before it ever hits the market. 

Ready to get started, here is what to do next.  Reach out here and I will follow up with you directly!

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?

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
