Happiness is Getting your Home Sold while it is Still a Seller’s Market My name is Scot Campbell, and I have been an active Realtor for over 30 years in Huntington Beach. I have personally brokered over 3,500 homes. When you list with me it will be “you & I” working together… I will NOT delegate your file to a Junior Associate as is customary in the large “Groups/Teams”. I have been living & loving the Huntington Beach Lifestyle since 1973, and I graduated from Smith, Dwyer, & HBHS. I attended college at nearby CSU Fullerton so I could be home on weekends. My Graduate Studies were in Real Estate Economics, and my bachelor’s degree is in Real Estate Finance. I know the Huntington Beach real estate market like no one else, and I come highly recommended: All 5-Star Reviews!

If you are having thoughts of selling your property, I will get you top dollar with a nice smooth escrow. Sincerely, Scot Campbell SCOT CAMPBELL / COLDWELL BANKER-Campbell Realtors Global Luxury Specialist 714.336.0394 Mobile / scot@campbellrealtors.com / www.scotcampbell.com / DRE #00943759


How’s the Huntington Beach Market? The “Days of Supply” is the best indicator of market conditions, and presently the reading is just 28 days indicating Strong Seller’s Market Conditions. The below graph illustrates market conditions over the last eight years. The market reaction to the elimination of the mortgage interest deduction can be seen in Q4 2018 and Q1 2019. The immediate “CV-19 Shock” can be seen in April-May 2020, followed by the Strongest Seller’s Market Conditions ever seen persisting during all of 2021.

Now is a remarkably good time (the best ever seen) to sell a home in Huntington Beach.

Orange County Housing Summary Source: Reports on Housing 4/18/22 For the first time since June 2020, the general inventory of homes has been generally increasing rather than decreasing. Although conditions still strongly favor sellers, the market has started to transition back toward more normal conditions most likely due to higher mortgage rates: The active listing inventory surged higher by 180 homes, up 12%, and now totals 1,732 homes, still its lowest level for this time of the year since tracking began 18 years ago. In the first couple of weeks of April, there were 23% fewer homes that came on the market compared to the 3-year average prior to COVID (2017 to 2019), 476 fewer. Last year, there were 2,384 homes on the market, 652 additional homes, or 38% more. Demand, (the number of pending sales over the prior month), decreased by 45 pending sales in the past two weeks, down 2%, and now totals 2,241, its first drop of the year. Last year, there were 3,070 pending sales, 37% more than today. The 3-year average prior to COVID (2017 to 2019) was 2,777, or 24% more. With supply surging higher and demand dropping, the Days of Supply (the number of days to sell all Orange County listings at the current buying pace), increased from 20 to 23 days in the past couple of weeks. This shows a slight movement away from an insanely Hot Seller’s Market.

The Days of Supply is the best overall indicator of the strength of the market, and sellers still have the upper hand for the time being.

Mortgage Rates Hit Five Percent MCLEAN, Va., April 18, 2022 Freddie Mac today predicted that the single-family purchase market will remain solid in 2022 despite increases in mortgage rates. A new Quarterly Forecast released by the company’s Chief Economist estimates that rising rates will lead to moderation in homebuyer demand and house price appreciation. But overall, the housing market will remain a bright spot in the U.S. economy.

SPOTLIGHT Prescott , Arizona Dena Plane was a Huntington Beach Realtor before moving to Prescott, Arizona to sell real estate in the 2000s. They love the area because it remains about 10 to 15 degrees cooler than Phoenix and 10 to 15 degrees warmer than Flagstaff. It’s the perfect mild, four-season community. Here is a great community video: www.prescottspotlight.com. We moved from Orange County, CA to Prescott 15 years ago by Dena & Dave Plane 928-830-6976

We moved to the area due to its moderate climate, lakes for kayaking, hiking trails, & signature golf courses. It is one of the best places to retire with activities for all ages. To the right are some examples of available homes: #1) New Prescott Home:

3 BR, 3 BA, 2315 SqFt, $959,000

#2) New Prescott Home:

2 BR, 3 BA, 2081 SqFt, $874,000

#3) Prescott Home Built 202:

3 BR, 2 BA, 2135 SqFt, $795,000

Thinking about a move out of SoCal? How about Prescott, AZ? We are homeowners & Realtors in the community, and enjoy helping people from Orange County find their dream home. Feel free to reach out to Dena & Dave...Or, if you have had thoughts of relocating to other popular areas like: Pheonix, Sedona or other states like Tennessee, Idaho, Texas, or Florida, I have experienced Realtors I can connect you with.
