Well the first quarter of 2013 is over so it is time to take a look at how the real estate market in Blackhawk Country Club performed versus the same period a year ago. The market is very active right now but that does not reveal itself in the number of homes sold (24 last year compared to 25 this year). Inventory levels have been on the decline all over the Bay Area which has prices increasing as well as a reduction in the number of days it takes to get a home into escrow. In 2013 the average days on market was 57 versus 97 in 2012. It is certainly a move in the right direction when you compare it to the first quarter of 2011 when the average days on market was 123! We are seeing a bit of an increase in the median price as well. I would estimate that the 2013 median price in the 2nd qu...

Economic News...We had a fair amount of housing data for the week. The Case-Shiller Home Price Index continued to move sharply higher. New Home Sales for February, while slightly less than expected, followed a very strong January. Pending Homes Sales were mostly flat as increasing portions of the country are experiencing inventory issues. This is good news for housing overall as more regions come to the party California started over a year ago. Interesting news on the consumer front: Consumer Confidence tumbled which was mostly attributed to increased payroll taxes and higher fuel prices while Consumer Sentiment increased to one of the highest points of the recovery??? FHA PREMIUMS TO RISE APRIL 1ST. This is not an April Fools joke! The increase is .1% and is the third such rise in the...

Economic News...The stock market continues to roll on with the Dow Jones making new highs (four in a row this week). While the growth of equities is good news for the consumer and market in general, it traditionally comes at a cost to the debt markets. This morning’s Employment Situation report was “icing on the cake” for traders and has sent mortgage rates higher. Weekly Jobless Claims also continued to move lower and once again beat estimates. There was an interesting article in last week’s New York Times which highlights the value of excellent communication and customer service. “About a third of customers are willing to pay more for a mortgage that comes with superior customer service and less stress”. I would like to see a similar survey on the listing of homes. Just last week I wa...

Mortgage and Market Update Economic News...Existing Home Sales were reported lower than anticipated. While typically this could be seen as a negative a closer look reveals that the lack of inventory of homes for sale is to blame. So, on the positive side is a simple story of supply and demand where lack of supply (coupled with greater demand) will drive prices higher. This was also evident in the New Home Sales numbers. Weekly Jobless Claims were much better than expected for the second week in a row. Keep an eye out on jobless number revisions as three states, including California, did not report their totals leading to the utilization of estimates in the report. There is certainly a lot of economic news on tap next week which could continue the upward pressure on mortgage rates.Mortga...

Mortgage and Market Update Economic News...There was hardly any data released this week. Jobless Claims moved up slightly to 371,000. The biggest news was the release by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau of the rules regarding “Ability to Repay & Qualified Mortgage Standards Under the Truth in Lending Act”. If you think the title is long the actual document is over 800 pages. Thus far there does not seem to be too much consternation from the industry and the rules do not go into full effect until January 10th 2014. Mortgage Markets...The debt markets have settled down a bit after losing a lot of ground to begin 2013. While mortgage rates improved earlier in the week they are currently under a bit of pressure. The 10 Year Note is currently trading at 1.877% versus last week’s clos...

Mortgage and Market Update Economic News...for the week trended to the positive. Continued good news in the housing sector dominated the reports. In 2012 we were able to see mortgage rates remain low as well as experience a rebound in our local housing markets. Low inventory, multiple offers and increasing prices were certainly welcome indicators to a sector continuing its recovery. HAVE A SAFE & HAPPY LAST FEW DAYS OF 2012 AND BEST OF LUCK IN 2013!!!...   Mortgage Markets...Were pretty quiet in this holiday shortened week but with the fiscal cliff talks set to heat up there may be some volatility next week. The 10 Year Note is currently trading at 1.716% which is slightly lower than last week’s closing yield of 1.761%.Next Week’s Market Moving Reports...Wednesday: Motor Vehicle Sales, ...

Mortgage and Market Update Economic News:  The major news of the week was the forward guidance issued by the FED regarding interest rates. The “exceptionally low” interest rate philosophy seemed to change from a specific timeframe to one that is tied to the employment picture. A target of 6.5% unemployment or below would be the benchmark. Operation Twist is also coming to an end but will be replaced by a similar program. Loan demand for home purchases reached a 2012 high for the third week in a row. Who says the purchase market cools off in the Winter months??? Now for a look at how the California Housing Market did over the past year. Per DataQuick...Home sales were up 14.7%, the median price paid rose 19.3% and foreclosure sales in October were down 32.9%. Pretty good news for the rea...

Mortgage and Market Update Economic News: Another week of mixed data that trended more toward the positive than negative. The ISM Manufacturing Index was a little disappointing as it fell to 49.5. A reading greater than 50 marks expansion. Construction Spending results offset the weaker manufacturing numbers by continuing to rise and is up 9.6% versus this time last year. October Factory Orders handily beat estimates by rising .8%. On the employment front we saw Weekly Jobless Claims decline and the unemployment rate decrease to 7.7%. There was some concern with the decreased rate being tied to a shrinking labor participation rate. Lastly, Consumer Sentiment experienced a sharp decline which was attributed to the lack of progress  between the White House and Congress on resolving the “f...

Who would have guessed we would be working in some of the nicest neighborhoods with the FHA 203k loan program? Certainly not me. This is a home the first time we saw it... a licensed contractor was workoing on it and this is the result... when the home owner said "why is there  a post in front of my window the contractor suggested it had to be there and it would be  a great place to hang her photos....  This is outrageous that an architect drew the plans and allowed this licensed contractor to build it this way.  This was not originally a 203k and these guys are in the wrong business in my opinion. I wonder how many times they have used this design? BTW they took 3 years to get it to this point...  We got involved and brought in a new contractor, a real contractor, and they are currentl...
