Real Estate Trends for Palmdale, Lancaster and the Greater Antelope Valley July 30 2009
Happy days are coming here in the Greater Antelope Valley Palmdale Lancaster area as new listing are poised to come onto the market. Our inventory have been hovering at the bottom for months now, new housing starts are popping up to fill the lack of available homes. This is having an affect on prices in the short term as prices are beginning to stabilize, and moving up in soma areas.

Case in point in 2001 homes selling for $115,000 jump during the big run up from 2002 to early 2007 topped out in the mid $300,000 range. Now these homes are below $99,000. Economists’ law states real estate will increase in value in the long term by 3 to 5 percent annually.

This $115,000 home in a normal rate of return (3.5% ANN) should be selling around $143,000 today. That is not the case we are down from 2001 prices over 14% and over 30% overall.

The normal rate of return must start to regain the loss at some point, we believe that time in starting right now in the greater Antelope Valley.
