* And 58% of sellers believe home prices
will increase in five years, up from 12% in
2012.
And in addition:
The reasons for selling changed significantly
in just one year.
* In 2012, the majority of sellers sold
primarily because of financial difficulties.
* In 2013, as home prices
surged, a desire to trade up
became the top reason for
selling.
* Other sellers who became
buyers wanted to take
advantage of low interest rates
to finance their next home.
* In 2013, 98% of home
sellers (yes, 98%) said they
received multiple offers, up
from 83% in 2012.
* Additionally, 45% of all
sellers receiving offers found
the offers were higher than the asking price.
* And sellers, on average, received 2.2
offers above asking price.
(The above information is summarized
from the above referenced C.A.R. survey.)
IF YOU READ BETWEEN THE LINES YOU
CAN SEE GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES HERE
IN EAST CONTRA COSTA COUNTY.
* Many past sellers will re-enter the market as
buyers in 2014 and beyond. So, stay in touch
with your sellers, short sale sellers too.
* Current home owners can realize home
values up 16% over 2008, and an astounding
43.4% since 2011, the low point in the last
five years. (This information per EBRD (MLS)
stats for East County Contra Costa County,
2008 through 2013. If you want detail let me
know.)
HOME SELLERS REGAIN CONFIDENCE
TO REPURCHASE
According to the CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®’
(C.A.R.), 2013 CALIFORNIA HOME
SELLER’S SURVEY, home sellers are
more optimistic about repurchasing
a home than in the
past few years, thanks
to strong growth in
home prices, record-
low interest rates, and
better personal financial
situations.
“Much-improved housing
market conditions in
the last year have given
sellers more confidence
to own a home rather
than to rent one,” said
C.A.R. President Kevin Brown. “With
sellers being more positive about the
future of home prices, the vast majority
of sellers who are currently renting plan
to buy again in the future. In fact, 70
percent of sellers who are currently
renting said they would purchase
another home, up from 22 percent in
2012.”
Look at the following. DO THE
FOLLOWING REFLECT YOUR EAST
COUNTY EXPERIENCE?
* 69% of home sellers purchased
a home after selling their previous
residence, up from 47% in 2012.
* 43% believe that home prices will
rise in the next year, compared to just 9
percent in 2012.
