Looking for a Great Realtor to help you sell your property?

The Improving relative strength of the Huntington Beach Market is remarkable.

By Huntington Beach Realtor - Scot Campbell - 08/26/19 Source: Reports on Housing

Scot Campbell was the broker of record for over 1,400 Huntington Beach homes according to the Realtor MLS. Yes! That is a lot of homes… but selling the most homes is not his goal.

Scot concentrates his efforts on achieving the results that sellers want most:

Getting the property Sold… for Top Dollar… with Fewer Days on the Market.

If you are having thoughts about selling your home, be sure to speak with Scot Campbell. He will listen and achieve the results you want most!

He is a Certified Global Property Specialist, and has been licensed for over 32 years. He holds a California Real Estate Brokers License and was also licensed by the State of California to do real estate appraisals. He has handled just about every type of transaction imaginable.

The big story at the end of the summer selling season is the improvement of the Huntington Beach real estate market.

Days of Supply is the best measure of the overall market. It is defined as the number of days it would take to sell every home on the market at the current pace of sales if no new listings came on the market… this metric gives a good measure of the number of homes selling relative to the number listed.

In August 2019, Days of Supply was 69, back to within 2% of the 5-year average for Days of Supply.

This is remarkable given the fact that back in January, the Days of Supply metric was at 125 (highest in over 10 years). And, in February we were at 100 Days (lower than January but 87% more days than the 5-year average).

The relative improvement in the market is attributable to lower mortgage rates providing the incentive for an increasing number of sales, and some sellers are electing to take homes off the market… we are not seeing desperate sellers "fire-selling" their homes.

Out of 391 active listings in Huntington Beach on 8/22/19, there was only one Short Sale/Foreclosure property.

The 4th Quarter of 2019 is going to be a good time to buy & sell real estate in Huntington Beach.

Mortgage Rates at 3-year lows helping to increase sales volume!

By Huntington Beach Realtor - Scot Campbell - 08/26/19 Source: Realtor MLS/Reports on Housing

Executive Summary: Mortgage Rates spiked at 4.94% per FreddieMac on 11/15/18, but rates have since come down to 3.55% as of 8/22/19. Jumbo rates seem to be even lower… a review of mortgage rates being quoted by lenders on the web showed 3.5% for 30-Year Jumbo loans, and 2.8% for 30-Year due in 10 years Jumbo loans.

Mortgage rates have not been this low since November 2016!

Falling mortgage rates are providing an attractive incentive to buy during this summer selling season, and low rates will continue to offer an opportunity window for buyers in the 4th Quarter.

A review of the July 2019 Huntington Beach Residential Closed Sales shows: Days of Supply: Dropped to 69 days (8/8/19). Days of Supply is an excellent measure of market activity as it tells us how many homes are selling relative to the number listed. During a strong seller's market, this measure may fall into the 40-day range. In a strong buyer's market, the measure may increase to over 200 days. A "balanced market" is 90 to 120 days. But, to judge the relative strength of the market for homes like yours, a measure must be taken for your price segment.

Homes Sold: In July 2019, the entire Huntington Beach market saw a total of 156 houses, townhomes, and condos sold…

102 detached properties sold and 54 attached homes sold. The sales level was 4.76% lower than the five-year average for the month of July. Detached home sales were up 29% and attached home closings decreased 11% compared to July 2018.

Average Days on Market until Under Contract: The average days on market for July 2019 was 42.

Price per Square Foot: The July 2019 Average Price per Square Foot ($PSF) for the entire market was up 2.6% year-over-year at $515 (Detached homes $532 and Attached homes $467).

Price Disclaimer: It should be noted that an increase in average price and average price per square foot of sold homes does not 100% correlate with appreciation of all homes.

If buyers just happen to be focusing their purchase on luxury homes, it is possible to have an increase in the average price of sold homes while appreciation is flat. The same is true on the downside if buyers chose to buy mostly "fixer homes" in a particular month. The best way to value an individual home is by comparing it to similar homes recently sold in the same neighborhood.

Average Price: The average price of detached homes sold in July 2019 was $1,140,021 an increase of 5.1% compared to July 2018. For attached homes the average price was $658,066 a small increase of 0.3% from the same period last year.

Insight/Trend: Home sales are up compared to last year.

Favorable mortgage rates are helping to sell homes for sellers and decreasing payments for home buyers. The low rates should result in a strong 4th Quarter! A close review of the closed sales reveals more insights: 1) Most Buyers are focusing their attention on new homes and homes which were recently remodeled.

Over 60% of the homes sold in July were either partially or completely remodeled, and those that were remodeled in the last 24 months sold the most briskly.

2) The bottom of the market & starter homes seem largely unaffected by the tax law changes. Properties which have had a strong 2nd home buyer pool in the past are seeing noticeably slower absorption. Luxury townhouses & the move-up market (above $1,250,000) are also seeing lower absorption rates.

3) Interestingly, Buyers and sellers are "working very well together" to complete contingent transactions this year, and this trend should continue. You do not have to be a cash buyer.

Advice for Sellers: Hire a great Realtor & Brokerage to effectively market you home… then: Price your home correctly, prepare it for sale, be patient, and be ready to negotiate on acceptable terms. Understand the relative strength of your market segment as a guide for pricing & marketing strategy.

Advice for Buyers: Mortgage Rates have dropped… and there are plenty of homes on the market. This is a great time to be home shopping… probably the best conditions in over 3 years!

If you have questions about the real estate market, buying, and selling real estate in Huntington Beach and Coastal Orange County, contact Scot Campbell… he can answer just about any real estate question you might want to ask.

Scot Campbell is the ultimate real estate agent. He and his staff handled the sale of our Huntington Beach home in a vary professional manner with nothing left for chance.

They know how to find the right person for any detail, such as large and small repairs, etc. to get the property in tip top shape to sell.

When we called Scot to sell our home we had no idea what to do to get the best price for our home. He helped us with every step in preparing the home for show and for negotiating the price and getting what we wanted. He is very knowledgeable and his staff was friendly and extremely helpful. We were very happy and would recommend him.

9th Annual "FREE Pumpkin Patch at the Beach"…

Well, it is actually across the street from the beach at PCH & 18th Street!

During the first few years of our pumpkin patch, the proceeds benefited the Huntington Beach Education Foundation.

In recent years, the proceeds have gone to the Huntington Beach Police & Community Foundation. Check out these organizations on the web, they do wonderful things for our community. Donations are appreciated (including checks, cash, prizes, gift certificates, sports tickets, new bicycles/skateboards, surfboards… anything kids would like & parents would buy! We will have a silent auction: please email Kim@campbellrealtors.com if you have a donation).

Hot Tip: Parking is sometimes a bit tough, if you live close by, walk on over. If not, there is plenty of parking 3 blocks away at the Senior Center at 18th & Orange. A wagon or stroller is very nice to help with your pumpkin(s).
