Cliff’s Viewpoint:
Seller’s Market
Redwood City CA: We are seeing changes in the average sale price for homes settling in $1.7 range. And the length of time on the market is moving up. These trends still favor home sellers. The Sale Price vs List Price ratio is down from 2018 and is hovering between 3.1% - 4.5% for 2019. The months of inventory available continues to less than 2 months. The number of new homes brought on the market for sale is one house under the homes sold. We are seeing home prices being reduced in price or cancelled and being relisted at a reduced price. This has been unheard of for the past few years. This is making home buyers happier. The Economy… “The Fed kept policy rates unchanged at this week's FOMC meeting. However, the policy statement left the door open for possible rate cuts later this year. The 10yr Treasury yield dropped below 2% this week for the first time since November 2016. Falling yields could indicate that lower rates are yet to come. Bonds aren't the only ones improving. Stocks are also hitting record highs after global central banks have signaled a willingness to stimulate growth. Housing News… Home builder sentiment retreated slightly in June, according to the monthly NAHB index, despite lower mortgage rates and demand for single-family homes. Housing starts dropped in May, but groundbreaking activity the prior 2 months was stronger than previously thought, pointing to housing market improvement. Building permits rose 0.3% in May, for a second straight month. Permits to build single-family homes were up 3.7%, after 5 straight months of declines.” Stability is the flavor of the month for the current real estate market. The demand for housing is still very strong. And mortgage interest rate remains stable. I am seeing some loan product out there where rates are softening. Home buyers are facing exceptional good loans now for their purchases. The raw numbers New listings (18 homes) came on the market for sale. Still low inventories, (134 homes: 71 Active and 63 Pending), which is still favorable for home sellers. This month, price reduction on homes (17), this past week 5 vs. 31 for the month of May. April had 14. Costs per square foot has remained stable for the past 10 months. The bench mark of $1000/sq.ft. has been consistent for all of 2018/9. The past week the price was $1017/sq ft.

They are all Condos. 4 - Homes under $1M of the 71 listings available - (5.64%)!!! Basic Real Estate Truism: Question: When is the perfect time to purchase your home? Answer: Today is the correct answer! If you said yesterday you were correct, however, too bad those prices are gone. I don’t see any let up on the current strong demand for homes either. I believe this trend will continue to be supported of upward, at least for the rest of 2018. Open Houses stay alert.
