June 2017 Report – San Francisco Real Estate Market Update for May 2017

Posted on: June 2, 2017

The number of homes in the Overall Sales category sold in MAY  more than the previous month as well as a year ago in the San Francisco Real Estate Market. These numbers reflect the homes sold (for the most part) in the previous month given a typical 30 day close. The average sale prices increased from the previous month as well as a year ago. The percentage increase of average sold price over the average list price was a little more than the previous month but less than a year ago. Average days on the market remained about the same as the previous period as well as a year ago.

What do these numbers all mean? Once again Single family homes UNDER $2M sold (on average) the best of all the categories we track; over the asking price by slightly more than 17%. Co-ops was the only category we track that sold for LESS than the asking price, on average. If you are thinking of selling this is still a GREAT time to SELL and an even better time to BUY!

* Remember, closed sales in any month reflect deals ratified in the previous month with a typical 30 day close.

Updates for San Francisco – Q1 2017 – Single Family Homes

Posted on: April 21, 2017

 

 

April 2017 Report – San Francisco Real Estate Market Update for March 2017

Posted on: April 2, 2017

The number of homes in the Overall Sales category sold in March was significantly more than the previous month as well as a year ago in the San Francisco Real Estate Market. These numbers reflect the homes sold (for the most part) in the previous month given a typical 30 day close. The average sale prices increased again from the previous month as well as a year ago. The percentage increase of average sold price over the average list price wasn’t quite as high as the previous month or a year ago. Average days on the market decreased slightly from the previous period but is still more than a year ago.

What do these numbers all mean? Single family homes UNDER $2M sold (on average) the best of all the categories we track, over the asking price by slightly over 12%.  As we head toward spring we should see an overall increase in the sales figures barring some unforeseen catastrophe.

This is still a GREAT time to SELL and an even better time to BUY!

* Remember, closed sales in any month reflect deals ratified in the previous month with a typical 30 day close.

March 2017 Report – San Francisco Real Estate Market Update for February 2017

Posted on: March 1, 2017

The number of homes in the Overall Sales category sold in February were almost the same as the previous month but a little less than a year ago in the San Francisco Real Estate Market. These numbers reflect the homes sold (for the most part) in the previous month given a typical 30 day close. However, the average sale prices increased from the previous month as well as a year ago. The percentage increase of average sold price over the average list price jumped from the previous month but was about the same as a year ago. Average days on the market decreased slightly from the previous period but is more than a year ago.

What do these numbers all mean? Single family homes UNDER $2M sold (on average) over the asking price by almost 15% and were the biggest winner once again. Even notice that TIC (tenancy in common) were a very strong category. As we head toward spring we should see an overall increase in the sales figures barring some unforeseen  catastrophe.

This is still a GREAT time to SELL and an even better time to BUY!

* Remember, closed sales in any month reflect deals ratified in the previous month with a typical 30 day close.

January 2017 Report – San Francisco Real Estate Market Update for December 2016

Posted on: January 9, 2017

The number of homes in the Overall Sales category sold in December were less than the previous month as well as a year ago in the San Francisco Real Estate Market. These numbers reflect the homes sold (for the most part) in the previous month given a typical 30 day close. However, the average sale prices increased from the previous month as well as a year ago. The percentage increase of average sold price over the average list price was less than the previous month as well as a year ago. Average days on the market increased by 9 days over the previous period.

What do these numbers all mean? Single family homes UNDER $2M sold (on average) over the asking price were the biggest winner once again, selling almost 9% over. However you should notice the average sold versus list price percentages of three CONDO categories dipped under 100%. Could this indicate a softening of the market? We shall see what the January market bring.

This is still a GREAT time to SELL and an even better time to BUY!

* Remember, closed sales in any month reflect deals ratified in the previous month with a typical 30 day close.

December 2016 Report – San Francisco Real Estate Market Update for November 2016

Posted on: December 3, 2016

The number of homes in the Overall Sales category sold in November were about the same as the previous month but were more than a year ago in the San Francisco Real Estate Market. These numbers reflect the homes sold (for the most part) in the previous month given a typical 30 day close. However, the average sale prices dipped significantly from the previous month as well as a year ago. The percentage increase of average sold price over the average list price was more than the previous month but less than a year ago. Average days on the market increased slightly over the last two time periods.

What do these numbers all mean? Once again, single family homes UNDER $2M sold (on average) over the asking price, almost 10% over, and continue to be the biggest winners. However you should notice the average sold percentages of the other categories (except for cooperatives) are much closer to 100% of the list prices if not LESS. This could mean that our market is reaching a more normal state with longer escrow times (more than 30 days). However, the real test will be early next year as we ramp up for 2017. This is still a GREAT time to SELL and an even better time to BUY!

* Remember, closed sales in any month reflect deals ratified in the previous month with a typical 30 day close.

November 2016 – Time for Thanksgiving! – San Francisco Real Estate

Posted on: November 21, 2016

November 20, 2016 SFResidence.com

The SFResidence Real Estate Review November 2016 Hello from Janis The statistics for October 2016 sales are now online. The biggest winner continues to be single family homes UNDER $2M. On average, they sold just under 12% higher than the asking price. As always, this depends on the property, neighborhood and location. But we have resources that can help get you the BEST price for your home! This is my favorite time of year.  It is a time to look forward to the holidays and to reflect on all that I have to be thankful for.  I am so very fortunate to live in such a beautiful place, to have a career that I love, to have family and friends I can depend upon and for whom I can be depended on and to have my health.  I wish all of you a long list of things you can put on your gratitude list. With the election over there is all kinds of speculation on what is going to happen in the next year and years to come.  There is one thing I am certain of and that is I cannot predict the future.  However, there are people that are paid to do just that—predict the real estate market in the future. On Nov. 16, 2016, Pacific Union held its third annual Real Estate and Economic Forecast in partnership with John Burns Real Estate Consulting in order to project Bay Area activity through 2019. Chief Economist Selma Hepp provides some key, high-level takeaways from the event in a post on the Pacific Union blog. A link to a video of the entire event is included. Go to this link to view the event—I think you will find it very informative. http://pacunion.us/2g3gHbW ========================================================= REMEMBER… If you are MOVING or KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS, we have GREAT AGENTS to whom we can refer with confidence! If you or someone you know needs to buy or sell property somewhere else in the country, keep us in mind. And you agents out there across the country who are receiving this newsletter, you are on our referral list for your area! _________________________________________________

From our Family and Friends Here are a few more of the many photos I took during our 2 1/2 week trip to London, Liverpool and Paris. There were so many things to see and thousands of photos to take. This is a photo of the Tower Bridge which Mick always thought was the London Bridge (Old London Bridge is now in Lake Havasu, AZ). Click on any of the photos to enlarge them. During our stay we purchased a three day pass for the Hop-On-Hop-Off-Bus in London which included an optional walking tour of the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. Go to my FaceBook page to see the changing of the guard video! On another of our side trips we went to Oxford which is a town with a LOT of colleges, not just the one. So now Mick says, “I went to Oxford,” and he’s telling the truth. Here is just one of the magnificent old buildings in that town. On the day we went to “Downton Abbey” we also stopped in the little town of Bampton that was supposed to be part of Downton. It actually was quite far away, but we saw the library which was the hospital in the show as well as the church and the home where Cousin Isabel supposedly lived. Here is a photo of the library which was used as the entrance to the hospital in Downton Abbey. Finally, here is the exterior of the Bampton home they used on Downton Abbey where Cousin Isabel lived. More photos from the trip will be shown next month starting with our stop in Liverpool! – Janis Stone __________________________________________________ Interest Rates Our trusted advisor, Dennis Kowalski, is eager to help you with your mortgage needs.
