Malibu California Real Estate - May 2009 Market Commentary –Southern California Real Estate – 4Malibu.com

May overview for Malibu, CA. The market is seeing much more activity, especially in the leasing market. Many who are waiting for prices to dip even further are opting to lease a home rather than buy. While others have been taking advantage of beautiful homes at great prices. Some believe we are at the bottom, says Celia Chen, an economist at Moody's Economy.com. He argues the prices in the U.S. housing sector is coming to an end. "Home sales and construction activity are probably at the bottom," Chen told Bloomberg News Tuesday. "Home sales are being boosted by foreclosure sales and that's helping to keep activity stable."

Take advantage of these times, there is going to be plenty of opportunity in this market. Consumer confidence rose again in May and represented the largest two-month rally since records began in 1967. According to the National Association for Business Economics, the consensus of a recent survey of 45 professional forecasters called for the recession to end in the second half of this year, but the recovery is to be more moderate than the previous survey. Housing continues to be a drag on the economy, however. Although single-family existing home sales rose 2.5 percent in April, inventories of homes for sale also rose to 9.6 months from 9.0 in March, according to the National Association of Realtors® (NAR). Moreover, the NAR noted that sales of distressed homes made up 45 percent of the purchases in April. Such types of sales mixed with a large supply of unsold homes keep depressing house prices. For example, a new research report from the Federal Housing Finance Agency found that sales of distressed homes accelerated the measured decline in California's home values by 5.3% from the peak in 2006 through the first quarter of 2009.
