Market Report – Good and Bad

Everything!, Long Beach Peninsula, Real Estate, Water Front, Water Vew

After a strong December, January was a bit of a disappointment.  I have to admit that even my optimism has dipped a bit.  This in spite of a short but sunny visit to Arizona!  But Spring is near, the weather has been better than tolerable and it’s tough to keep me down!  On the upside, mortgage rates are staying lower than expected (READ) and overall inventory is going down.  Market times seem to be a little bit shorter.

In the January NWMLS report it states: “Inventory is down almost 20 percent from a year ago. Brokers added 6,666 new listings to inventory during January, with single family homes making up about 85 percent of those additions. At month end, MLS members reported 26,226 total active listings; a year ago, there were 32,647 active listings. Despite the smaller selection, the price choices overall are wide ranging, from a low of $13,000 for a manufactured home in Sultan to an asking price of $26.8 million for a waterfront home on Mercer Island.”

An interesting quote from a Northwest Multiple Listing Service broker bears repeating because I’ve seen the same thing:  “I remember at the height of the market people would say ‘I wish I would have bought some waterfront back in 2001…or I wish I would have picked up a couple of rentals a few years ago’.” For these people, “the clock has been rolled back and you now have an opportunity to purchase real estate near the bottom of the market”.

Locally, there were just 15 NWMLS listed sales during the month of January.  14 were residential, 1 was vacant land.  Of the residential sales, 2 were bank owned properties.  The vacant land was also REO.  You can see all the sales here: January Sales Report.

Currently, there are 268 residential listings.  14 are REO, 6 are short sales.  There are 257 vacant land listings, 3 of which are REO.

Discovery Coast Real Estate will be successful.  We’re thankful for our loyal, realistic and patient sellers.  We’re grateful for buyers who put their trust in us to treat them honestly and fairly.  2012 will be a good year!

And if you need a pick-me-up, here are the top 10 flowers you might want to think about planting to make your property “pop” for buyers: Roses, Hostas, Geraniums, Petunias, Violets, Impatiens, Marigolds, Ornamental Grasses and Zinnias.

December Sales Report

Everything!, Long Beach Peninsula, Real Estate

Wow, what a difference!  December 2011 sales were considerably better than December 2010.  In 2010 there were just 10 listed residential sales with a median price of $99,500.  December 2011 showed 22 listed sales with a median price of $130,000.  Days on the market were a bit longer and the difference between list price and sales price was bigger, but there were sales.

You can view the brief report here: 

According to the Northwest Multiple Listing Service “Closed sales also outgained year-ago totals. December’s completed transactions were up 7 percent from twelve months ago, rising from 4,430 closings to 4,741. Six counties registered double-digit gains (Grays Harbor, Jefferson, Pacific, Pierce, San Juan, and Snohomish).”

Does that mean we’re going to see prices go up, inventory go down, and mortgage rates start to climb?  Maybe.  It’s probably the number one question every Realtor hears, every day.  If I only had a crystal ball….

Enjoy the crisp, winter weather if you live here at the beach.  The sunrises have been incredible!

Buying a House this Year?

Everything!, Long Beach Peninsula, Our Listings, Real Estate

Is 2012 the year you’re finally going to take the ownership plunge?  Hopefully, you’ve been doing all the right things to prepare.

Here’s an interesting article on how being a good renter means more than you think.  A GOOD RENTAL HISTORY CAN HELP BUYERS. Thanks to Rockwell Institute * for this link.

Mortgage Rates
30 Year Fixed: 3.91%
15 Year Fixed: 3.23%
1 Year Adj: 2.80%
(U.S. Weekly Averages)

Interest rates are still low and inventory is still high.  Sales are improving in South Pacific County though, so don’t be left looking for the right house when all the good ones are taken!  Here’s an example of what’s currently on the market in the $100,000 to $150,000 range.  Some are fixers, some are fixed.  Resi_Client_Summary2801.  This report is limited to single family, stick built homes.  There are condos, manufactured homes, townhomes, etc. with a wide range of prices and amenities.  For more information on any of these listings, just send me an EMAIL.  Or call us at 360-642-3325!

And one more article you should read before starting your search:  Making the Right Choice.

So, what are you waiting for?  Get out there and start looking.

October 2011 Sales Report

Everything!, Long Beach Peninsula, New Listings, Our Listings, Real Estate
OCTOBER 2011 SALES REPORT

 

October was a pretty nice month, both weather-wise and sales-wise!  16 single family homes listed with the Northwest Multiple Listing Service sold during the month.  There were also 6 vacant land sales during that period of time.  It was encouraging to me that of the sales, only two of the homes were bank owned.  There are still some great buys here at the beach and interest rates are still incredibly low per Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey.

According to NWMLS, October was a month for “Tricks and Treats” in home sales.  Pending sales up, sale prices down.  To read the whole report, click NWMLS NR (Oct 2011).

As of this post, there are 336 single family homes/condos in “Active” Status.  If you’re looking for a beach home for either vacations or full time living, the inventory is high, sellers are motivated, interest rates are good, and Discovery Coast Real Estate is here to help!   And sellers, as of today there are 37 homes in pending status – buyers are out there so don’t get discouraged!

Come to the beach and dig some razor clams, stop by the office and pick up the 2012 Tide Tables too!
