Will Home Prices Go Down?

Will Home Prices Go Down?

Analysts, home shoppers, renters, homeowners are all wondering whether home prices will reduce at the same margin that costs to build go up.  There are conflicting answers however. Looking closely at housing demand we see the need increasing, not decreasing.   With rent, land and the cost of construction going up, it’s hard to say “no” to owning a home today.  When asked if rent will increase over the next 7 years, you will have a hard time finding someone that would say “the cost to rent will be lower”.

In seven years, home prices will not be lower from today. It’s unlikely anyone believes they will. The price adjustments occurring now will be small and mainly for homes that had unrealistic prices to start with… let’s face it, it should never cost $800,000 to live in Boise!

Instead of waiting for home prices to go down, prospective buyers are weighing the pros and cons and taking action now.  Many sellers are offering attractive financing packages to create a more affordable payment.  The rule is: If you can afford the payment on a 7-to-10-year fixed loan, fix your payment now and take advantage of the tax deductions that you won’t get with renting. Statistically, most homeowners move every 13 years according to the National Association of Realtors.

Take a look at the recent data from the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), which proves all of the above to be correct.

Tax Breaks for Homebuyers

High demand for rentals continues to drive rent prices up with zero deduction to the tenant, while building wealth for the property owner.  It is no secret that one of the cornerstones of building wealth is investing in real estate.  Anyone looking for tax breaks should consider buying a home instead of renting.

Homeowners can take advantage of several tax deductions including:

  • Mortgage Interest Deduction
    Homeowners can deduct interest paid on a loan related to building, purchasing, or improving their primary home up to $750,000.
  • Mortgage Points Deduction
    Homebuyers pay “points” to their lender when they take out a mortgage. These points are a form of prepaid interest paid up-front in exchange for a lower interest rate. In most instances, mortgage points are fully deductible the year they’re paid.
  • State and Local Taxes (SALT) Deduction
    The SALT deduction allows property owners to deduct payments made for property taxes and income or sales tax payments up to $10,000.

Housing Affordability

For renters, the choice to buy often comes down to affordability. Average rent for a vacant unit in Orange County jumped to $2,570 per month in 2022, up 18.5% from the spring of 2021. Most Southern California renters are already paying more than they would for a 30-year mortgage. This makes a 7-to-10-year fixed mortgage a feasible option for many renters.

Real Estate Wire Fraud More Common Than Most People Believe

Real Estate Wire Fraud More Common Than Most People Believe

In 2020, a third of all real estate transactions involved some sort of wire fraud attempt. Today, wire fraud is the single largest threat to real estate transactions.

The goal of mortgage wire fraud is to get buyers to deposit their down payment and closing costs into an account owned and controlled by scammers. Wire fraud can cost victims tens of thousands of dollars and may jeopardize their ability to buy a home. With median home prices above $400,000, it’s not uncommon for homebuyers to wire 20% or more to satisfy their closing obligations.

This type of scam isn’t limited to first-time buyers. It happens to seasoned real estate brokers as well. Recently, we discussed wire fraud with a real estate broker with over 30 years of industry knowledge who wanted to share the shocking experience with us.

Real Estate Wire Fraud Only Happens to Other People…Or Does It? Here Is One Real Estate Broker’s Real Story (Identity Hidden)

“Early Monday morning, my heart sank when I read the email from my attorney that the title company had not received the wire for our closing.  I panicked…. hadn’t I been emailing my attorney about the wire?” The victim discovered that they were not communicating with the attorney, because his firewall and email had been hacked by scammers.

“My attorney told me that I needed to immediately call my bank.  I felt sick and disoriented all at the same time as I replayed the past events in my mind. I had logged onto the secure website. I received the instructions from the title company and both my attorney and spouse were cc’d on them.  How could this be happening? How could I, an experienced real estate broker, be scammed?”

The purchase was scheduled to close on Monday, May 23rd. The wire was sent on Thursday May 19th to be sure of an on-time closing.  Due to the out of state transaction, an attorney (rather than escrow) oversaw the legal documents and arranged the closing with a title company. There’s an in-person meeting that takes place the day of closing and the buying parties are normally in attendance.  The buyer had been trying to confirm the receipt of the wire with the title company since Friday, but no one was returning calls or responding to emails

“After learning I had been scammed, I realized we missed a crucial step in the wiring process.  It was the very thing I had warned others about for years. By going too fast we did not take the time to pick up the phone and directly verify the correct account and routing numbers before sending the wire.  Just one phone call, and I could have saved a huge amount of stress and significant financial loss.”

“Please let this be a warning to every home buyer and real estate professional. Wire fraud does not just happen to other people who may be unsavvy about real estate practices.  It can happen when we don’t stop and carefully inspect every step of the process. It is my hope that through my example we can help educate others.”

In this case, the bank receiving the wire had flagged it as potential wire fraud. This was only because the wire specifically named the title company as the recipient, so the bank did not allow it to go into the scammer’s account. This was done entirely at the bank’s discretion. There is no law that requires banks to review and match wire and account names.

Understanding Mortgage Wire Fraud

The most common type of real estate fraud involves Business Email Compromise/Email Account Compromise (BEC/EAC). Using spoofing techniques, hackers mimic the email address, phone number or website of trusted people and businesses. The hacker often sends multiple fake emails to gain the victim’s trust. Eventually, the victim is presented with fraudulent wire instructions.

Most people don’t realize they’re communicating with scammers until it’s too late. Once the money is gone, it’s extremely difficult to recover. This is what makes this type of cyber-attack so dangerous.

Preventing Wire Fraud

Always verify wiring information including exact wire account numbers, by calling directly, don’t use the number provided on the instructions.  You should call the title or escrow company at the number listed on their official website. Do not use links in emails, only use phone numbers that have been previously verified.  It’s also important not to wire money to any account provided by your real estate agent. Real estate agents do not have access to the account information of your settlement agency. These extra steps may take a few minutes of your time, but could save you thousands of dollars and protect your ability to purchase a home.

Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions a person can make. Don’t let mortgage wire fraud ruin your chances of owning a home. Communicate often with your escrow officer or attorney via phone and don’t hesitate to ask questions if anything seems suspicious.

2022 Home Design Trends

2022 Home Design Trends

In 2022, home design trends center around flexibility and comfort. With people spending more time at home, homeowners are looking to create spaces that meet a variety of needs. Many of 2022’s home design trends inspire feelings of stability and comfort, while maximizing space for functionality.

Long Banks of Windows

Homeowners everywhere are looking to bring the outside in. Long banks of multiple windows create a space full of light. This has been proven to put homeowners at peace and feel more connected with nature.

It’s not uncommon to see multiple banks of windows spanning two or more walls. Nano Walls and floor to ceiling windows are becoming more common as well.

Kitchen Islands

Most people consider kitchen islands a necessity in the modern home. Over the past few years, these islands have become the hub of the kitchen. When designing an island, flexibility is key. This space is used for multiple purposes including craft projects, homework, and meal prep. In addition to providing extra counter space, it’s not uncommon for kitchen islands to include a dishwasher, prep sink, trash pullout, beverage fridge, and open shelving.

Outdoor Living Space

As people become more conscious of their health and well-being, outdoor living spaces are becoming an essential part of everyday life. Current trends focus around creating an extension of interior spaces. Outdoor living rooms provide a welcome escape from the indoors. A properly designed outdoor living space allows homeowners to relax and unwind, while enjoying the fresh air and natural surroundings.

Space for Pets

According to the ASPCA, approximately one in five households adopted a pet during the pandemic. Many people quickly realized their existing living space didn’t provide what their furry friend needs. Many architects now incorporate a pet bathing area into the laundry room space.  Today, Millennial homebuyers are hitting the market looking for homes which provide pet amenities.

Heated Elements

Heated island countertops and heated floors are some of the most sought-after features in new homes this year. Recommended by home design and remodeling professionals, a heated bathroom floor provides a spa-like experience at home. Heated island countertops provide a welcoming place for friends and family to gather.

Shiplap

Shiplap adds character and texture to bathrooms. Depending on how it’s installed, shiplap can effectively accentuate the height, width, or length of bathroom spaces.

Bar Rooms

Another popular addition, homeowners around the country are turning their formal living spaces into bar and entertainment rooms. Bar rooms provide a private and cozy setting for relaxing and entertaining guests.

2021 Year in Review

2021 Year in Review

The housing market in California has remained hot for most of the year, with home prices reaching record highs month after month. Fueled by the pandemic, California home prices have increased in every market, with Orange County at 17.1% higher than 2020. Despite higher prices, there are still multiple buyers offering on homes and their search time is increased throughout much of the state.

Fast Paced Market Conditions

Low mortgage rates and low inventory have allowed the California housing market to maintain a healthy pace throughout 2021. Home sales experienced a slight decline in September and October. However, the California housing market has outpaced 2020 home sales and will likely continue to do so through the end of the year.

Home sales in California increased over 13% this year. In an effort to beat out the competition, many buyers offer bids above the asking price. In October, a staggering 60.2% of California homes sold above the asking price.

Home Prices Increase

According to the California Association of Realtors (C.A.R.), the median home price increased in all major regions of the state. Five regions increased by double-digits. Driven by low mortgage rates, buyers seeking more living space, and short supply of available homes on the market, the California housing market remains extremely competitive.

High selling prices are encouraging more sellers to list their homes for sale and a recent survey showed that 70% of Californians believe that now is a good time to sell a home. (can you name the source)

High demand for homes statewide means that fast moving market conditions will likely stick around until next year. C.A.R.’s 2022 California Housing Market Forecast predicts a decrease in existing single-family home sales next year, possibly due to a lack of replacement property. However, supply and demand imbalances and supply line delays due to the pandemic will keep home prices rising.

Home Prices Starting to Level Out

In September, home prices began to level out in California. A second drop in October caused the median home price to fall below the $800,000 threshold. This is the first time that home prices have dipped below $800,000 in seven months. Low mortgage rates are keeping qualified buyers interested; The Pacific West Board of Realtors reports that homes throughout California state are selling at an average of 11 days on market. Orange County is at an average 8 days on market.   Based on this data, we are advising home buyers looking to take advantage of low mortgage rates and fix their home price to act fast.

Mortgage Rates Expected to Rise Late 2022 – Early 2023

Mortgage Rates Expected to Rise Late 2022 – Early 2023

Home sales in the U.S. are hitting peaks not seen since before the housing bubble burst in 2008. However, the current housing boom is very different than any we’ve seen before, where most analysts determined that there may not be a bubble to burst, although prices may drop slightly by the end of 2022 or early 2023.

Some economists believe that mortgage rates may rise a full percentage point by the end of 2022. Others argue the increase won’t happen until well after that point. Whatever the case, when mortgage rates rise, the housing boom will likely return to pre-pandemic numbers.

Low Mortgage Rates Bring More Buyers Into the Market

During the pandemic, mortgage rates dropped to 3%, reducing monthly payments by 12%. This has allowed more people to buy a home. Young people who would have normally waited are buying now, driving demand and home prices up. In addition to low mortgage rates, remote work is causing buyers to shift from apartment living to single family homes in suburban areas.

The U.S. is currently experiencing a housing shortage. Freddie Mac estimates that 2.5 million homes would need to come on the market to combat the current shortage. Low supply caused home builders to increase production at the end of 2020. Unfortunately, high material costs have made construction difficult. Building permits and new builds are down 30-40% since the mid-2000s.

Despite what some economists say, the current boom is definitely not a housing bubble. Current home prices can be explained by low supply and low mortgage rates. Unlike the housing bubble of the mid-2000s, we’re seeing more credit-worthy borrowers hitting the market. Bank requirements are much stricter than they’ve been in previous years. In order to secure a loan, homebuyers need a high credit score and a sizeable down payment.

Buyers Need to Act Fast to Take Advantage of Low Rates

The current market has led to frantic buying across much of the country. Record-low mortgage rates, remote work, and a shift in housing type demand are driving the boom. As homebuyers compete, bidding wars drive prices up and many U.S. homes are selling above their asking price.

Prospective buyers looking to take advantage of low mortgage rates should act quickly. It is unclear how long the current rates will stick around. Once these rates rise, buyers will ultimately pay more in interest and payments to own a home, even if home prices drop.

Home Prices Continue to Rise in California – Here’s What it Means for Buyers & Sellers

Home Prices Continue to Rise in California – Here’s What it Means for Buyers & Sellers

Fueled by strong demand and low inventory, home prices in California continue to rise. According to the California Association of Realtors, the median price for a home in California has risen $182,000 since May of 2019. This breaks down to an increase of over $7500 per month.  Although as home prices and costs to build are rising, buyer demand in California grows.

California Home Prices Reached Record Highs in May

In May 2021, Southern California home prices experienced a year-over-year increase of 33.1%. In the Inland Empire, median home prices gained 28.9%.

Fierce competition is leading many prospective buyers to offer above the asking price and potentially the home’s appraised value. In some instances, buyers are including escalation clauses for the home of their dreams, where they will pay higher than whatever the last offer was.  Many are offering non-refundable deposits and no loan contingency.  Many home builders have started their presales up to 6 months in advance of their sales center opening and model completion, selling completely off virtual tours.

As a comparison, in 2020, an average of 20.3% of California homes sold above their list price. By February of 2021 that number increased to 42.1% of homes in the metropolitan areas of Los Angeles. According to recent data from the California Association of Realtors (C.A.R.), 70% of homes in California sold above their list price this year. Is this sustainable?

No.   Although these trends are continuing, in the long run, the market will pivot and change.  Many will be priced out of the market and decide to wait for stabilization and if interest rates increase, some will not be able to qualify.

Seller’s Market

We have seen a shift since the first quarter of 2021 eliminating Seller concessions.  This coupled with low inventory and high demand translates that California is now a Seller’s market. According to C.A.R.’s monthly Consumer Housing Sentiment Index, 59% of homeowners believe it’s a good time to sell.

Homes are selling at record speed, with many selling in just 7 days. The National Association of Realtors reported that nearly 90% of U.S. homes sold in April were on the market for less than one month. Current homebuyer interest is being fueled by low mortgage rates, shortage of available homes, and an influx of buyers seeking larger living spaces.

The trend to watch will be aging Californian residents will begin selling their homes in favor of moving out of the state. This is due to the potential tax increase proposed by the State to tax equity from a home sale should you invest in property out of state.

2021 Southern California Housing Market Forecast

2021 Southern California Housing Market Forecast

Despite economic hardships and stay-at-home orders, the California housing market finished 2020 on a high note with median home prices reaching record highs and homes selling at impressive speed. This momentum has carried into 2021 as home prices in Southern California continue to rise driven by low mortgage rates, increased buyer interest, and shortage of available inventory.

Throughout 2020, as families spent more time at home, many realized their current living space did not meet the changing needs of their family. This led to an influx of buyers looking to upgrade.

Fierce Competition Drives Home Prices Up in California

Low housing inventory in California has made competition extremely fierce. Homebuyers in California have shown they’re willing to pay more for what they want. In March, California home prices reached record highs with almost two-thirds of homes selling above their asking price according to the California Association of Realtors (C.A.R.).

In February, 2021, single family home sales were up 19.7 percent from the previous year. Median home price in California sat at $758,990 in March, 2021. This is 23.9 percent higher than the previous year. Despite rising prices, homes are moving almost 46% faster than they did in 2020. 8 days was the median time on the market in March, 2021.

It’s not just resale homes selling quickly in California. New construction homes are selling fast as well. In fact, home builders are having a hard time keeping up with demand. Sales concessions are becoming obsolete and bidding wars are becoming more common, driving up prices in every region of the state.

Buyer or Seller’s Market?

In addition to monitoring home prices and trends in the California housing market, C.A.R. also tracks the amount of time it will take for home buyers to purchase all available homes on the market. In March, C.A.R. listed the Unsold Inventory Index (UII) at 1.6 months. This is a sharp decline from the previous year when the UII sat at 2.7 months. Whenever available housing inventory drops under 2 months, it is considered a “Seller’s Market”.

California Remains One of the Hottest Markets in the U.S.

Rising home prices and high demand aren’t likely to change anytime soon. Price trends recorded by Zillow show that that between 2012 and 2019, the median home price in California appreciated by almost 108%. California home prices have risen 11% in the last year alone and were forecasted to increase 9% in 2021.  As more homebuyers enter the market and the number of available homes go down, it’s expected that home prices will continue to rise.

Holiday Home Safety

Holiday Home Safety

The holidays are here and Orange County residents are excited for the opportunity to celebrate. While many people are busy decorating their homes and planning their holiday vacations, it’s important to remember that this time of year presents safety hazards as well. Fortunately, there are some things homeowners can do to protect their home and their family this season.

Holiday Lights

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), electrical problems are the leading cause of holiday fires. Homeowners that enjoy decorating with lights indoors or outdoors need to take care to ensure proper safety. Before decorating, homeowners should carefully inspect each string of lights for any signs of damage. String lights with exposed wires, corroded sockets, or loose connections should be replaced. When changing bulbs, make sure the new bulbs have the same voltage rating. Using bulbs with a different rating increases the chance of overheating and fire.

Another important safety precaution, homeowners should limit strands to no more than three strings per link. Linking more strings of lights could increase the risk of fire.

Candles

Candles add a magical glow to festivities and play an important part in many holiday traditions. Before lighting candles, check that they are properly mounted on a non-flammable base and that they are kept at least one foot from anything flammable including walls and furniture.

 Fireplace Safety

Most of us enjoy warming up next to a fire during the cold months of winter. However, it’s important to make sure your fireplace is properly maintained before and after use. It’s a good idea to have your chimney checked and cleaned each year. This helps remove creosote build-up, which can catch fire during normal use.

Before lighting a fire, make sure the flue is open and remove any decorations surrounding the fireplace. Using a screen helps protect flying embers from entering your home. Always use quality firewood and never throw paper in the fireplace as this can start flash fires.

Keep Living Spaces & Walkways Safe

While most of us in Southern California don’t have to worry about snow, for those living in cooler areas snow and ice can cause a major safety hazard. It’s important that homeowners shovel and scrape driveways and walkways regularly.

It gets dark much earlier in the winter. Make sure all of the lights in the front of your home work properly. In addition to helping you see better when you return home, outside lighting may also deter intruders.

Top 5 Things Homebuyers Are Looking for in New Homes in 2020

Top 5 Things Homebuyers Are Looking for in New Homes in 2020

As more people make the switch to working from home and distance learning, many Americans are finding their current home simply does not meet the changing needs of their family. In addition to requiring adequate space to complete work privately, private spaces are becoming more necessary within homes for schooling and connecting to family, even if small.  Having a space to relax away from the responsibilities of work or school allows families to separate home and office. This mental separation improves productivity and strengthens relationships.

While some things remain the same, many of the features prospective homebuyers look for in a new home have changed during the pandemic. The following details the top 5 things homebuyers are looking for in a new home this year.

More Rooms

Remote work and school is driving homebuyers to search for more square footage and separate bedrooms for every member of the family.  Plus, homebuyers are looking for homes designed with office spaces and larger great rooms.

Wireless Connectivity

In 2020, more than ever, strong internet connection is not just a luxury, it’s a necessity when buying a home. In addition to enabling control of smart home features, internet connectivity and strong cell service allows for easy communication and fast connection.

Wireless connectivity makes it possible for remote learners to access classes and virtual calls. It allows remote workers to complete tasks and collaborate with teams. Wireless connectivity is required to run streaming services like Hulu and Netflix.

Updated Kitchens & Bathrooms

Regardless of the pandemic, one thing remains the same – new homebuyers want upgraded kitchens and bathrooms. This is especially true for Millennials and first-time homebuyers. According to a study conducted by Metropolitan Regional Information Systems, Inc., 81% of prospective homebuyers believe that updated kitchens and bathrooms are the most important feature when buying a new home.

With many restaurants closed, families are spending more time in the kitchen. In addition to upgraded flooring, countertops, and appliances, homes with large, open-floor kitchens are selling quickly this year.

Yards or More Community Amenities for Relaxation

As statewide restrictions to flatten the curve evolve, many homebuyers are keen to look for private yards, rooftop decks and private community amenities that provide them with outside spaces to relax in.  It’s not likely the above-mentioned features will become less important.

Low Maintenance and Energy Efficient Features

Buying a new home is one of the largest purchases a person can make. After purchase, the last thing new homebuyers want is to put a lot of money into maintenance. Prospective homebuyers are looking for low maintenance, move-in ready homes. This also encompasses money spent following the purchase of a new home, an increasing number of homebuyers are looking for new homes with energy efficient features. Features like insulation, double-paned windows, low-flush toilets, energy efficient lighting and appliances can save homeowners a considerable amount of money over time.

Final Thoughts

Especially since the pandemic began, people everywhere have had to adjust and adapt to multiple changes. Businesses have realized that remote working saves money and often makes teams more productive. Schools and parents have discovered the many benefits of virtual learning. Throughout this time, most of us have figured out what we need to move forward.

How Smart Technology Helps Keep Homes Safe and Cool

How Smart Technology Helps Keep Homes Safe and Cool

From the cell phones we use to connect with one another to the computers used to complete important tasks, technology plays an important role in most of our lives. While you’re probably familiar with smart phones and computers, homeowners have many more options when it comes to technology for their home.

By connecting home appliances, security systems, and other everyday devices to the internet, homeowners can activate and inactivate just about anything with the click of a button on their cell phone. This smart technology makes life more convenient, reduces energy bills, and increases the security of a home.

Years ago, smart home technology was out of reach for many people. In addition to the high cost of devices and deployment, smart technology was difficult to use. Fortunately, things have changed and smart technology has become more affordable and user-friendly in recent years. In fact, according to a new study by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), 69% of U.S. households now own at least one smart home device.

Keeping Homes Safe With Smart Technology

Smart technology allows devices to communicate their status throughout the day. This makes it possible for homeowners to take a proactive approach to a wide range of situations. Some of the more impressive smart home options include plugs with auto turn-off, water leak and monitoring devices, and connected security devices with live video feed capabilities.

Smart technology can help homeowners catch leaks faster, preventing mold and damage of property. Connecting security devices to the internet increases home security and helps prevent theft. Smart devices like motion detectors and security cameras can set off a chain of events. When triggered by a potential intruder, smart devices can activate alarms, security lights, and notify the homeowner and/or authorities immediately. These features might prove especially beneficial to rental property owners. Smart technology gives homeowners eyes on their property, regardless of their physical location in the world.

Another benefit of smart home technology, smart doorbells and smart locks alert homeowners when someone is at their front door. In addition to a cell phone alert, some of these smart devices even let homeowners view and communicate with visitors through their doorbell.

Smart Technology Keeps Homes Cool in the Summer

One of the most common smart technology devices, smart thermostats allow homeowners to control the temperature of their home or rental property from a smart phone or computer. During the summer, homeowners can turn on the air shortly before they return home. This ensures a cool and comfortable living space, while avoiding the high energy bills associated with leaving the air running when no one is home. For rental property owners, smart technology makes it possible for owners to set the thermostat to a comfortable temperature for tenants. This ensures an enjoyable experience for tenants while protecting the property owner from energy bill spikes.

Smart Technology Provides Numerous Benefits

Smart technology makes life more convenient, improves safety and security, and increases the value of a home. Many insurance companies even offer discounts to homeowners that implement smart features in their home. Homeowners and homebuyers are strongly encouraged to learn more about smart home technology.
