Broker's Corner - Local Housing Market Trends

Ray Shay Broker/Owner Shay Realtors _    The local housing market is still increasing in value, but it feels like a large train that is definately slowing down.  It is especially true for homes which are over a million dollars in value. Where is the market headed?  There are several causes for the slow down. In my opinion some of the main factors are increased inventory, the substantial gains we already achieved over the last few years, stagnant employment in San Diego County and there are simply only so many buyers for all these homes hitting the market. It will be interesting over the next six months as local builders place so many new homes on the market.  Standard Pacific is a very reputable company that builds excellent homes which they stand behind. For worry free buying they are a good play. I just hope the Fed's don't let interest rates rise.  If that happens so many buyers will be removed from equation because they cannot qualify.  That will cause such drag on the home ownership train that it could slow or even stop. If the train feels like it is on a hill it could also slide back down.  Don't hesitate to call me or stop by one of our three locations if you have any questions.  Ray Shay 858-449-4970 This information is copyrighted and cannot be reproduced or distributed without the express written consent of Shay Realtors Inc.

Consumer Confidence Increases

Ray Shay Broker/Owner Shay Realtors _

  

A recent survey showed that about 90% of Americans feel that buying a home is an important part of achieving the American Dream. 

These same respondents indicated that about 64% of them felt owning a home was an attainable goal. This is a significant increase from last year when just over 40% of people surveyed believed it was possible.  

This dynamic has resulted in more homes hitting the market as values continue to increase, but at a slower pace than prior years.   Another interesting aspect of the local market is the large number of

new homes which will be hitting the market over the next 18 to 24 months.   

If you have any questions on what is going to be built, just give me a call. It is really a large and diverse line of properties hitting the market soon.

The latest news on local real estate by Ray Shay, Owner/Broker

Del Sur is Booming!!

I can't emphasize how important it is to use a real estate professional when you are considering a new home or a re-sell  purchase. So much to consider including varied tax rates, what is really hot and what is not. Also what developments are just around the corner.

You won't see the floor plans yet, but Brookefield Homes are starting to build their new models for their Descanso Development. Earlier this week, I could count almost two dozen earth movers rapidly carving out new home developments in Del Sur.

The Descanso homes will have more bathrooms and in many cases more garage spaces than their competitors. 

 

Keep in mind our highly trained Buyer's Specialists Paul, Yolanda, Amber, and Kendall are experts in this area and the selling builders pay their commission.  Why go alone when you can have an expert Realtor working for you?

The latest news on local real estate by Ray Shay, Owner/Broker Associate of Shay Realtors of REMAX Ranch and Beach - #1 in home sales in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.

Today's Broker Corner is a bit different, but it still applies to our area  homes and their increasing value. Theresa and I have been

in Santaluz countless times over the past few years showing and selling homes or meeting with our friends and clients. But just last week, I happened to golf on their private course. It was incredible. Not just the amazing golf, but amazing scenery and truly amazing customer service. 

   

In the course of the round I saw some really nice homes being built overlooking the golf course. I would guess there were at least 17 multimillion dollar homes being constructed. 

Thanks, Ann! Awesome day.

A few of the homes are being built for the ultra rich and are reflected by the beautiful architecture and use of native plants that are a big part of being a resident of Santaluz. I am purposely declining to identify these residents and feel it is more important to note that our area is highly sought after from buyers both inside our country as well as outside.  

 

It feels like Santaluz is coming into their own and the community and home values will only go up. If you need more information on joining the club visit Kelly at Santaluz. She will take great care of you. Keep in mind you do not have to live in Santaluz to join. 

Santaluz is one of the most beautiful golf courses I have ever played.  - Ray

The latest news on local real estate by Ray Shay, Owner/Broker Associate of Shay Realtors of REMAX Ranch and Beach - #1 in home sales in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.

The jump in interest rates last month really spooked some buyers. Though it felt like a 25 percent increase in loan rates, the average rate it is still clearly below 5 percent, which is an incredibly low percentage. Some adjustable jumbo loans are still in the mid 3 percent range.

Speaking to other agents, brokers and escrow companies countywide this slow down is not in just one price point. It will be interesting to see how the housing numbers for September come out. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call Theresa or myself. All inquiries are kept in the strictest confidence.

U.S. consumer confidence dipped slightly in July, and the orders for durable goods dipped as well. Activity has been lighter recently. It is likely due to school starting, the unseasonably hot and muggy weather and the increase in mortgage rates, which seem to continue to squeeze some of the buyers.

We are still seeing cash buyers and higher-end buyers continuing to purchase homes. Some people see the increasing rental rates as a reason to purchase income property. If you want to know the value of your home give me a call. 

We will have eight area listings open this Sunday, September 8 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Click on this PDF for more details and come visit some terrific homes!
