Currently, available homes throughout the Sonoma County real estate market are in short supply. Simply put, there are more willing buyers than there are sellers in the county. In the final quarter of 2013, Sonoma County experienced a more traditional seasonal slowdown, as the shrinking number of distressed property sales gave way to more stable equity sales. (The latter constitutes homeowners that are able to sell without needing the bank’s permission to accept less than what is owed on their home.) According to Pacific Union’s fourth-quarter 2013 report, Santa Rosa saw a 12 percent drop in home sales volume from the final quarter of 2012, which is primarily due to the lack of inventory compared with the prior year. There was also a significant shortage of homes for sale in all other Sonoma County submarkets, particularly in Healdsburg, where the total sales volume plummeted 31 percent in the same time period. The median sales price -- a value that represents the mid-
In contrast, Sonoma County homes priced under $1 million saw year-over-year sales volume decline by 15 percent from 1,234 units in the fourth quarter of 2012 to 1,053 units in the fourth quarter of 2013.Keep in mind, though, this latter segment of the market experienced a 21 percent median price spike during that same period, further echoing today’s supply-constrained market. The aforementioned trend contributed to a significant rise in median prices throughout all Sonoma County submarkets. Investor activity has declined in concert with these gains. This is likely due to the return of more buyers pursuing their dream of homeownership and sellers recognizing that the market buyer typically pays a more attractive price than an investor. The good news for would-be Sonoma County homebuyers is that we believe that inventory will start to expand as spring arrives. However, we also suspect that mortgage rates will rise throughout 2014, making time of the essence for hopeful home hunters in our region.

point in the range of all prices paid --, continued to rise in the fourth quarter throughout Sonoma County, reflecting the decline in foreclosures and other distressed sales, as well as healthy growth in many price segments within the marketplace. In Santa Rosa, the median price for a single-family home increased from $347,000 in the fourth quarter of 2012 to $415,000 in the fourth quarter of 2013 – a gain of 20 percent. In Healdsburg the median sales price soared by 55 percent quarter over quarter to finish 2013 at $755,000. Rohnert Park, Sebastopol, and Windsor also all saw quarter-over-quarter price increases of more than 20 percent. An important note is that this does not mean each home rose in value by these percentages, just that more homes in higher price ranges sold than those in lesser price ranges thereby shifting the median price dramatically. Last year saw strong growth in sales of single-family homes priced over $1 million. Countywide, 78 homes sold for more than $1 million in the fourth quarter, an 18 percent increase from the last quarter of 2012.

Receiving multiple offers? How sellers can avoid leaving thousands of dollars on the table.
review all offers “as they come.” First come, first served, with no date set for offers. This can get somewhat hectic and confusing. You are negotiating with one offer but hear of others coming in. What to do? Stall? This method creates a footrace By Mike Kelly, Keller Williams Real Estate to get an offer presented, and buyers have little or no time to really think the offer over. The buyers You may be thinking, “Sellers are getting mulcan feel pressured and may back out or rescind tiple offers? I thought the market cooled off?” In their offer. You may take a great offer only to find the current market, we are seeing multiple offers. that another buyer is offering big bucks over offer Not 10, 15, or 20 like when the market was sunumber one. How can you avoid this? per wacky but more tempered, with 3, 5, 7 offers Many Realtors choose scenario #2: set a date on one property. To see what is driving this, let’s in the near future from the list date, say 5-10 days consider the current real estate marketplace in out, in which to review all offers with the seller Sonoma County. The inventory of Sonoma County homes is not and seller’s agent. No foot race, no hectic stampede. The listing agent will set a date in the future only at a “winter low” but also a historic low. Our MLS (Multiple Listing Service) has only 575 “Active” and adhere to that schedule. Commitment to the schedule is very important since Realtors will be listings on the market for a countywide population of over 490,000. This is the lowest it has been scheduling their buyers to view the property and discuss offer price with the review date in mind. in over 3 years. A scarcity of homes, historic low interest rates, and strong demand is fertile ground Accepting an offer prior to this date is not fair to for multiple offers. Savvy Realtors know this. They the agents and creates confusion and animosity. study existing pricing of the competition (other ac- However, ultimately this is the seller’s choice. Once you’ve decided to position your proptive listings) and set an attractive price below overerty as that hot, multiple-offer-generating listing, priced homes languishing on the market, creating you may wish to take this strategy and schedule big excitement and multiple offers. In the hot market we experienced in 2012 and the date you will review all offers. Your Realtor will place the property on the market with notes part of 2013, properties were being snatched up with big, multiple-offer prices, sometimes $25,000, in the confidential remarks along the lines of “All $50,000, or more over asking price. A seller taking offers due 5 days from list date by 5 p.m. Offers to be reviewed by seller at this time.” The listing the first offer ran the risk of leaving big bucks on agent may ask that all offers be emailed or faxed the table. Sellers who took the first offer sought comfort in the knowledge, “I got my asking price.” to the listing agent. The listing agent will present them without the buyer’s agent present. This is the But at what cost? seller’s call, not the listing agent. This needs to be I’m not saying we are back to those hypercommunicated to the other Realtors. Here’s what competitive days. However, the sheer scarcity of might happen: houses is driving the market. When a well-priced, impeccably presented home hits the market it can 1. Some buyers will state, “I don’t want to be in and will generate multiple offers. Pricing is king a bidding war.” These folks will not present in the current market. Many listings are languishan offer. ing on the market due to being priced too high. A 2. A “buyer’s agent” may insist on presenting smart strategy is to price below and let the market the offer to the Seller directly. Once again, chase your price with multiple offers. this is for the Seller to decide. (This could Realtors have distinct schools of thought when happen in either one of our scenarios). dealing with multiple offers. Scenario #1 is to 3. Buyers may overbid—way over asking
price—in order to “tie-up” the property. They sometimes cancel the deal after a cursory look-see or use inspection reports to knock down the price. These buyers have most likely been burned in the past by being overbid. 4. Buyers may offer way too much and get “buyer’s remorse” and cancel after acceptance. 5. You receive multiple, strong offers. When you have strong, multiple attractive offers, you can choose one of the following scenarios: 1. Accept the strongest of the lot. 2. Send out one counter-offer to the best offer, clarifying details about the offer. 3. Send out a “highest and best” multiple counter-offers to those you feel have the strongest interest. If one or more of the buyers agree to your counter offer, the offer you then choose will need your counter-signature to be valid. This way you won’t be risking selling the same property to three buyers. You set a date in the near future when they are due back. Again, avoiding the foot-race, eliminating the pressure packed decision making as in Scenario #1. Scenario #2 may be the strongest position to generate the highest price for your property. Buyers can think about their offer for days before it is presented and can analyze the property in advance of presentation. They may be able to hone their offer and eliminate some contingencies over this time. This equates to a “cleaner” offer for you and usually for more money than the original list price. Ultimately, your Realtor can best advise you on which scenario will work for your property. As we mentioned, this may not be the best strategy for all properties, but more and more we are seeing multiple offers in the “hot” price points near our median Sonoma County home price of the mid $400,000 range. Even so, I’ve seen multiple offers in the $1,000,000 price point—with all the components of a hot, multiple-offer property: great price, stunning staging, impeccably brought to market, and exposed to the highest audience.

Planning ahead. Whether buying, selling, or staying put, we can all make changes to our homes and property that help conserve water; here are a few suggestions: • Landscaping. Garden Sense is a FREE program available to all Sonoma County residents. A Sonoma County Master Gardener will come to your home and offer ideas on how to conserve water by creating a healthy, beautiful, and water-wise garden. Call 707-565-2608 for more information. • Rain Catchment. When precipitation finally returns, you can capture that precious liquid and use it later to water your garden. For every 1” of rain, 840 gallons of water can be collected from a 1500 sq.ft. rooftop! Some communities, such as the city of Santa Rosa, offer residents a rebate to offset the cost of a rain harvesting system. Check with your local district for more information. • Grey Water. The County of Sonoma now allows the use of “grey water” systems for laundry and bathtubs/showers. The below surface drainage areas for these systems can include non-edible ornamental gardens and lawns. Watering from the roots up! Find out more online from the Sonoma County Water Agency at www.scwa.ca.gov/graywater/ • Hot-Water Recirculator. One of the biggest water wasters is getting the shower water hot before you step inside! Simple to install, a recirculating pump will keep hot water flowing in your pipes when you need it, saving you thousands of gallons of water each year. Ask your local plumber or home improvement store for more information. Forecasting Sunny Skies. Our real estate market continues to be strong, and this spring and summer sellers who differentiate themselves through water-wise features will capture buyers’ attention and sell at a higher price. Talk to your real estate agent about our ever-changing landscape and how water might affect your next move. For more information on water conservation, visit the Sonoma County Water Agency website at http:// www.scwa.ca.gov/conservation/

Woodcraft Suggests Plan for Year of ‘Dream Home Projects’ Spend some quality time with your house, and make a list of the pluses aand minuses as if you were considering whether to buy it. Use this list to develop projects that will create your “dream home” over a year’s time. To help you, Woodcraft offers some ideas for projects and products.
Project Ideas • Use paints, stains, dyes, finishes, and related products to reinvigorate the wood throughout your home, including doors, shutters, walls and furniture. • Add molding or other trim to give walls an upscale look. • Expand storage space with wall-hung or freestanding shelving in as many rooms and areas as possible, matching shapes, hardware and color to each room’s decor. • Replace or upcycle kitchen, bathroom or garage cabinets, as well as outdated bathroom vanities. • Add a wood deck, patio or porch to your outdoor area, and repair/ revive or build outdoor benches and other furniture. “If the changes you envision involve unfamiliar tasks, do some research,” says Woodcraft product manager Ben Bice. “We offer books about home improvement topics, as well as ‘Woodcraft Magazine’ technique downloads and how-to videos for many products online. Or get some expert advice at your nearest Woodcraft store.”
Helpful Products • General Finishes Water-Based Milk Paints include a 28-color base selection of premixed acrylic paints that can be combined to create even more colors suitable for indoor or outdoor projects. Use the milk paint with the six translucent Glaze Effects to create eye-catching decorative finishes, such as distressing, antiquing or shabby chic. • General Finishes Gel Stains and Topcoat are easy to use -- simply wipe on with a rag and wipe off the excess. Stains are available in 12 shades, including
the popular Java and Georgian Cherry. A perfect solution for attractive redesigns at an affordable price. • OneTime Wood Protector is a proprietary acrylate resin blend that penetrates wood’s cellular structure and cures it by exposure to UV radiation. It protects new wood, old wood, pressure treated wood, or wood that has had the previous coating removed -- for seven years! Great for outdoor wood projects such as wood shake roof, deck, chairs, picnic
tables, fences and more. • Festool’s Rotex RO90 Multi-Purpose Sander switches easily between three sanding modes -- aggressive, random orbital finish sanding, and delta detail sanding -- that will handle a host of tasks from stripping stubborn paint to creating a smooth finish. • Earlex Gemini HVLP Sprayer can be used as a cup fed gun to spray fine finishes and paints, or with a pump to push waterbased paint/stain directly from the can via a 13’ hose to the gun for covering large surfaces. • The QuikBENCH Portable Workbench holds 300 pounds alone; add another to form a sawhorse to hold 2,000 pounds. Or connect several for a larger workstation. If you need a scaffold, choose the portable
Vika Twofold Workbench and Scaffold. Both benches include power strips. • The EZ Pro Crown King Crown Molding Jig from General Tools works with a mitersaw to cut crown molding joints precisely without difficult angle calculations and compound angle cuts. • 3M PSA-Backed Veneer is real wood veneer permanently bonded to 3M Pressure Sensitive Adhesive. It can be applied to MDF, particleboard, plywood, and drywall with excellent results. The veneer is used for furniture repair, countertops, shelves, and architectural applications. • Fein’s MultiMaster Q Start Kit is equipped for sawing, rasping, scraping, removing grout, sanding, polishing, and cutting, all powered by a 250-watt, variable-speed motor. • “Transforming Your Kitchen with Stock Cabinetry” is a 160-page softcover book by cabinetmaker Jonathan Benson and his wife, Sherry Benson, a chef, that shows how to transform a kitchen using money-saving stock cabinetry and a well-thoughtout plan. • Grex 18-Gauge 2” Nailer -- Green Buddy is a precision nailer that fires 1/2” to 2” 18-gauge nails for trim and moldings, cabinet assembly, furniture and cabinet finish work, jig fixtures, light wood assembly and more. • The Kreg Jig(R) K5 Pocket Hole System offers an easy way to use pocket hole joints in your furniture and home projects, such as decks and porches. • M1 Tape Measure features patented Sight Scribe that allows you to measure and mark without a pencil. Lock your measurement with the M1 blade lock, and take it wherever you need to mark. To learn more about these products and others that can help you update your home, visit your local Woodcraft store, call (800) 535-4482 or visit www.woodcraft.com. © Copyright 2012 by Metro Creative Graphics, Inc.
