County real estate market holding up

There were 170 homes that closed escrow this July in El Dorado County. The median selling price was $610,000. A year ago there were 200 sales for the same month with a median sales price of $634,000. Year to date there have been 1,085 county home sales with a median selling price of $639,000. Last year through July there were 1,650 sales with a median price of $676,000. Yearto-date sales are down by 34% and the median price has declined by 5.5%.

The county’s real estate market is holding up well considering what’s happened to mortgage

rates over the past year. Last July the rates for a 30-year xed rate mortgage was slightly below 5% and today the rates are pushing 7%. Based upon declining in ationary numbers, the Federal Reserve will likely pause increasing interest rates for the balance of this

summer but don’t expect the Fed to start lowering rates. That ship has sailed. If in ation stays under 3% we will be in a holding pattern on interest rates through fall.

One reason we have fewer sales this year is because there are fewer listings. Currently there are 500 homes listed with a median listing price of $735,00. That’s about half the number that would normally be on the market during July and 25% less than last year. One of every four county listings is priced over $1,000,000 while one in ve is priced under $500,000.

The least expensive

home sale last month in the county closed at $177,000. It was an allcash sale for a 1950s xer with 784 square feet of space in Pollock Pines. The most expensive sale was $2.6 million for a 3,000-square-foot home above Folsom Lake with a 2,800-square-foot garage. It also was an all-cash sale and was on the market for only two days. There have been 162 sales of homes this year in excess of $1 million and 24 sales in excess of $2 million.

El Dorado Hills was the most active community for sales last month. About one-third of all county sales were in EDH with

Nobody Does It Like Janine...

If I could give Janine all the stars that she deserved, they wouldn’t t on this page! I was impressed by Janine when she sold my mother’s home several years ago, so I chose her to sell our house. She has 25 years of experience and we certainly bene ted from her knowledge of the community and the market. She put our needs ahead of just making a sale and helped us to navigate the unfamiliar territory of real estate jargon and processes (giving us substantial comfort in what might otherwise have been a fearful process). She was an excellent communicator with realtors, title companies, and lenders, speedy in answering all our questions, and kept us immediately updated when she had important news for us. We really appreciated her diligence in monitoring every stage of the sale process. And to top it all off, she has a generous spirit and gives back to the community in many ways. We are so grateful to her. She is the best!

a median selling price of $969,000. Other more active communities were Cameron Park with a median selling price of $645,000, Placerville with a median selling price of $495,000 and Pollock Pines at $438,000. With our county’s median selling price $200,000 below the statewide average, we will remain a preferred destination for folks seeking refuge from congestion, crime and higher housing costs of larger cities.

Iwant a bigger kitchen,” my daughter says.

“So, remodel,” I say, which is pretty much my rst response to any home-related complaint.

“But I don’t see how we can make more space and I want room for a couple barstools.”

“So, move.” This is my second standard response to any home-related complaint.

“But I love my house, the neighborhood and location.”

“So talk to an interior designer. If they can’t help, call a Realtor.” This is my standard third response to any homerelated complaint.

Reconsider that xer upper with a loan

Family Features

For younger homeowners and rsttime homebuyers in particular, money is likely to be tight. When most available cash is directed to the best possible down payment to secure a home in a desired neighborhood, there's o en little le for improvements.

According to a Pro le of Buyers' Home Feature Preference Report from the National Association of Realtors, 53% of homebuyers took on a home improvement project within three months of buying with kitchen projects being a priority for 47% of those surveyed. However, when buyers nance a home renovation into their mortgage application, they can broaden their options of available properties to include xer-uppers that can be upgraded prior to move-in.

A nance option like the Guaranteed Rate Home Renovation Loan allows homebuyers to visualize the home

they want versus the one that's listed. By rolling renovation costs into their mortgage, buyers can enjoy a home tailored to their vision while paying a little extra each month for upgraded windows, siding, decks, kitchens, bathrooms or a walk-in closet. In many cases, the project can be completed a er closing but prior to moving in with contractor commitments to stay within budget.

If cosmetic or structural improvements are needed when prospective homeowners nd a property worth bidding on, they can work with a licensed loan o cer to secure a home renovation loan. The borrower's choice of contractor that meets the lender criteria submits an estimate that's reviewed and validated by the lender. Once approved and the mortgage is closed, the renovation can begin with costs paid upfront, added to the loan and repaid as part of the mortgage.

the highest in ation rate in 40 years and mortgage rates that climbed at warp speed. The real estate reset for our county is likely over. We have reached the bottom and should see a gradual increase in property values and a gradual increase in inventory.

Homebuyers are nally accepting a higher mortgage rate environment. They were in shock and awe for a year and in denial for another but have nally accepted that the only thing worse than paying above 6% for a mortgage is paying above 7% or not having a home and watching prices continue to creep up.

According to California Association of Realtors President Jennifer Branchini, “California’s housing market has improved since winter and appears to have found its footing as sales declined at the slowest pace in over a year.”

Last week Zillow released its housing economic forecast predicting national home prices will rise 6.3% over

the next 12 months and 48 of the nation’s 200 largest housing markets will see increases of 7% or greater.

Zillow, however, is usually more optimistic than other housing economists on future pricing predictions.

Moody’s and Morgan Stanley think U.S. home prices have a little more to give up and CoreLogic thinks prices have bottomed out but will not see any signi cant gains during the slower fall and winter

California is di erent. Despite high housing prices and mortgage rates, there will most always be more demand than inventory. We will experience short-term setbacks as we did during the Great Recession but in the long-term, California home prices will continue to outperform the rest of the country.

The biggest change in the future will be an increase in inventory. It will not exceed the demand but there is going to be a lot more of it. Homeowners who have been thinking about selling but haven’t because

they have a mortgage rate below 4.5% will nally decide moving out of state is more attractive than staying married to a low mortgage rate. Seniors and retirees will be the rst wave to leave. Their children and grandchildren have already moved to states with more a ordable housing. The California exodus will accelerate.

July will likely be the most active sales month this year. Sellers who have been thinking about selling should call their agent before fall when fewer buyers are looking to buy. Buyers may nd more opportunities this fall and winter but should not expect lower mortgage rates or home prices. There is a greater chance that interest rates will increase again in the next six months than the Fed lowering them.

Consider renovation projects like these: Luxury renovations are geared toward the enjoyment of a home. They might be as easy as updating an entertainment room or reworking existing landscaping or as complex as adding a swimming pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen or tness area.

Structural renovations a ect loadbearing elements like posts, beams or even the foundation or walls of the home. Some examples include adding a garage, raising a roof, converting rooms or

adding square footage to the house.

Non-structural renovations do not a ect load-bearing elements and are o en more cosmetic, including remodeling kitchens or bathrooms, repainting, replacing siding and upgrading for accessibility.

Consider the out-of-pocket costs of similar non-structural renovation projects according to Remodeling Magazine's 2023 Cost vs. Value Report when compared with the monthly price of nancing via a Guaranteed Rate Home

homeowners weighing one set of unknowns against another all in the e ort to answer one question: Will it be worth it?

They ask themselves, would I rather endure months of inconvenience, dust, noise, strangers in my house, dozens of decisions, nancial surprises and life with no kitchen or put everything I own into boxes, then on a truck, pay a bunch of moving costs and set up house all over again in a new neighborhood with new problems yet to be discovered?

My daughter and I bat around the pros and cons of remodeling or buying a house that has the kitchen she wants. Whatever side I take, she takes the other one, which is how we roll. Like a dog chasing its tail, we go round, get nowhere, get tired and give up.

Just as I was about to throw in the kitchen towel, I got an email featuring a kitchen makeover by interior designer Sara Malek Barney, founder of BandD/Design, in Austin, Texas. Another young couple wanted a bigger, better kitchen and got it. The transformation was impressive. This gave me hope. I called Barney to ask how homeowners can know whether their kitchens can be saved or whether they should put out the for-sale sign.

“Almost anything is possible,” Barney said. “The question is at what cost?” Cost, of course, includes not just money, but time, inconvenience and fried decision

banks. Though the answer isn’t black and white, Barney o ered the following dos and don’ts to consider before you bring in the sledgehammer.

• Don’t do it if you won’t love it. If you won’t get what you want in the end, don’t do it, she said. “You might get a nicer kitchen, but you don’t want to just put lipstick on it and not be fully happy.”

• Don’t do it if it’s going to be too costly. “O en, giving clients what they’re dreaming of requires taking a wall down,” Barney said. If it’s a load-bearing wall, removing it could add several thousand dollars to the project. If making room for barstools means moving plumbing and gas lines, that, too, gets expensive. You have to weigh the cost against your budget and the value of the home, then decide whether it will be worth it.

• Don’t focus only on looks. Don’t remodel your kitchen to make it look better if it’s not going to also function better. In addition to improving ow, a good designer can help you make small, inexpensive moves that make a huge improvement in how your kitchen functions. These include adding pull-out shelves, pantry drawers, lazy Susans, power strips inside drawers to charge devices, so -close cabinet drawers and doors and angled drawer organizers.

• Don’t do it if your tolerance for chaos is low. “Consider the sanity factor,” she said. Though remodels are not as scary as people think, construction is still

messy, intrusive, loud, inconvenient, unpredictable and expensive.

• Do factor in your lifestyle. If you’re a big cook and you want an open kitchen and plan to live in the home for a long time, go for it.

• Do consider your neighborhood. Bringing your kitchen up to the quality level of the homes around you is probably smart. Over-improving is probably not.

• Do consider what buyers want. Even if you plan to stay in your home, you should still factor in resale. According to Kiplinger, a consumer resource focused on personal nance, 90% of buyers want energy-e cient appliances and 82% want an eat-in kitchen.

• Do consider the context. “The biggest mistake I see is when homeowners remodel a kitchen and then it no longer goes with the rest of the house,” Barney said. “You need to make sure it looks like it belongs.” The kitchen remodel she did for the young couple in Austin was in a 70-year-old home. She uni ed new and old spaces with paint color, furniture choices and uniform ooring.
