Is the madness going to end when school starts back up?

I have been recently asked this question and many similar questions recently. My answer to them have been fairly straight forward, but I believe it to be true.

Q: Is the Real Estate Madness going to end when school starts back up?
A: No, I don't believe it will.
The current market we are in now began forming almost a year ago to create the artifical real estate market we are in now.

Residential Real Estate prices rose marginally for the past three-to-four months, and I expect this trend not only to continue but actually SPIKE just before the credit falls off. If the prices do spike, there may be a slight dip after the credit falls off, but I believe it will not come back down to where it use to be... So, if you or anyone you know is still waiting for the bottom you missed it... but don't worry there are still some great opportunities out there. You just have to go fight for them.

Don't sit out any longer! Get into the fray, but don't hire just anyone... Hire a Pro!

West Covina Real Estate Market Update

West Covina, CA- The West Covina Real Estate market is in for a crazy next two months. With a historically low number of homes available for sale, coupled with the incredibly high demand for housing is crazy enough. Now throw in the near end of the first time home buyer Government Supplemental Housing credit and... The West Covina Real Estate market is in for a roller coaster of a time these next two months.

Friday, August 21, 2009


Current Available West Covina Homes: 101 (33.7% are distressed properties)
# of homes sold in the last 30 days: 75 (new jump in sold homes... Average fore the previous six months was 60)
# of Months inventory on hand: 1.34 Months (A 'normal' market would have 5-7 months inventory on hand)

If you or someone you know is looking to sell their West Covina home; these next two months look to be a good time to do it. Prices have already slightly rose over the past three months, and with the credit coming to an end, and inventory so low I expect to see a spike in the price with buyers fighting to get into a home before the $8,000 credit opportunity is gone. This may be a rare opportunity to sell when the artificial demand for property is at its highest.

I call it an artificial demand because I believe there are still factors that may cause prices to come back down. One factor is what happens to buyer's demand after the incentive to buyers falls off? If the number of buyers dissappear when the credit does this may cause the available inventory to creep back up. The other factor is the banks efficiency to the foreclosure process. Their is a surplus inventory of 'bank owned' properties, also commonly referred to as REO properties, that the banks cannot foreclose on. The banks were already having a very hard time keeping up with all of the foreclosures, and when the Government stepped in with the 90-day moratorium this backed them up even further. Then the government decided to put the burden of proof on the lenders to show they tried to do a workout program with each and every property before foreclosing on it, and the process got slower.

West Covina's Artificial Real Estate Market

West Covina, CA- Prices have been low and demand has been high ever since the Government introduced the first time home buyers credit. Anyone who passed High School economics with a C should be able to tell you the price is going to go up, and IT HAS already begun to rise over the past three months. The inventory has been steadily declining ever since the government implemented the 90-day moratorium on Foreclosures, and exacerbated the already slow foreclosure process by putting the burden of showing they offered a work-out option for the current owner.

The high demand was artificially created when the government stepped in and offered a bonus, which despite it having dramatic effects, they re-sweetened several times. The inventory is artificially low due to a lack of foreclosed properties being available that would otherwise be subsidizing our low inventory count. So we are in an artificial Real Estate Market, and the pain of this has been drug out longer than necessary.

The market is always changing, and there is constantly new information to contend with. So for all of your Real Estate needs; Don't just hire anyone... Hire a Pro! My Real Estate Pro West Covina.
