California Home Buyers Paying Lowest Payments in Over 20 Years! PDF Print E-mail

California Home buyers now paying the lowest mortgage payments in over 20 years! Adjusted for inflation, California Homebuyers now paying on the average, 63.1% below the most recent bubble’s  peak in June 2006 and the lowest since DataQuick has been reporting statistics since 1988. The recent real estate market’s melt down has created incredible opportunities for home buyers, specially in areas that in recent years had practically shut our first time buyers. Homes in areas like Orange County had become practically impossible for young families and singles to afford as prices had skyrocketed out of proportion with incomes. With home prices down as much as 40% in some areas of Orange County, this opens the door wide open for thousands who thought homeownership unattainable due to unaffordable prices.

It is evident that many of these buyers who had waited on the sidelines are aware of the opportunities created in the current marketplace. According to a report published Thursday by San Diego-based MDA DataQuick Information Systems, an estimated 36,215 new and existing homes and condos sold in California last month, a 23.9% month-on-month increase from February and 47.4% year-on-year increase from March 08.

Definition of Short Sale: A home that is being sold at a price where the net proceeds to the lender are less than the amount owed. For the lender to accept this, an owner has to have a genuine hardship that may result in the home being foreclosed upon. Before the lender would agree, the homeowner should first complete a hardship package to prove their current financial status. Completing this package can be quite difficult because there are a lot of things needed for submission. Some of these things are W2s, bank statements, hardship letter, and itemized expenses. However, before declaring hardship, sellers would need to seek help from a professional. Most people whom I meet with hardships have recently divorced, become unemployed, incurred high medical bills etc and all of them do not know where to turn for help.

Newsflash

 

 

Today, the OC register reports that, according to local industry sources as well as the California Association of Realtors,  it would take only 6.3 months to sell the current inventory of homes in the County at the pace of sales for the month of May. This is another piece of encouraging news for the local housing market. Other recent reports supported by statistics indicate that the worst may be over. Read the full article here.

 

Another article also in the OC register, which you can read here, also reports another positive set of numbers for  housing prices. Reportedly, the median price in the OC was $474,110 in May, up almost 10% from April. Even more encouraging, price gains now have been reported for 4 out of the last 5 months.

 

I know there are a lot of skeptics out there, and it would be unwise to not be at least cautiously optimistic, but I have been through three of these down turns and recoveries in Orange County. These events indicate a turnaround in the decline is near, past events and current trends seem support the same direction in the marketplace.
