Bay Area Real Estate – Page 6 – The Real Estate Beat

Helping Our Clients Find Their Way Home – SOLD in Pittsburg

When our friends referred their friends to us – we were so excited. Having trust built into our relationship due to a referral makes our job so much easier. We’re able to have the market conversation. We’re able to discuss expectations and goals. With a budget and the want list – quickly – we were able to hammer out the best route. This time, we added a local agent to the mix, to help us with their market dynamics. Each area has its own customs, expectations, and market flow – local insight proved very helpful.

I’m proud to say Milford and DaShanna were able to get their first offer accepted in a market where competition is fierce!

Will Multigenerational Living Lose Traction?

As home prices continue to rise, housing experts see an ongoing effort by extended family members to pool their money to combine households and save on costs. But data suggests that rising home prices do not correlate to multigenerational living, according to a new analysis from LendingTree. Some current multigenerational households may be temporary due to the pandemic, the study’s authors suggest.

LendingTree researchers defined multigenerational households as three or more generations who live in the same home.

“The long-term impact that the pandemic will have on multigenerational households is still unclear,” says Jacob Channel, LendingTree’s senior economic analyst. “With that said, while some people may have opted to move in with family during the height of the pandemic, that doesn’t mean that they planned on staying in a multigenerational home forever. … It does appear safe to assume that even with the disruption to usual housing arrangements caused by COVID-19, multigenerational households won’t suddenly become the norm in the U.S.”

Multigenerational households did increase during the onset of the pandemic. LendingTree’s analysis covered the timespan between 2014 to 2019, but data since the pandemic started has shown an uptick in demand. Eighteen percent of buyers between the ages of 41 to 65, many of whom fall within the Generation X age segment, purchased a multigenerational home during the past year, according to the Home Buyer and Seller Generational Trends report published in 2021 by the National Association of REALTORS®. The most common reason for those who purchased a multigenerational home was to take care of their aging parents.

Multigenerational living may be more common in certain states. For example, Arizona, Nevada, and Colorado have posted the largest increases in multigenerational households over the past five years, according to LendingTree’s analysis. Between 2014 to 2019, multigenerational households have risen by an average of 12.34% across the three states, according to LendingTree’s research.

We had the joy of meeting our awesome clients and instantly clicked. With an underwritten approval in hand, we jumped into the thick of it. Homes were selling while we stood in them. It was intense. When we did get to write an offer – we were blown away by the level of competition. Then ‘the one’ came on, armed with experience we worked with our clients to determine the best course of action. With their trust and our knowledge – together – we made Real Estate goals come true.

Helping Our Clients Find Their Way Home – Bill & Surbhi

The Caton Team had a blast working with Bill & Surbhi before the holidays. They had a target date, they had a goal, and together we found the right home to suit their needs, budget, and lifestyle.

The best part about working with clients who want to own – is when we work in tandem. When our clients are open to what is available and open to adjusting. I love that we were able to find the perfect fit, with some competition but truly an open relationship where we could work our way through any challenge. Handing the keys over to Bill & Surbhi brought us so much gratitude.

4 REASONS WE’LL SEE MORE REAL ESTATE ACTIVITY THIS WINTER

Inventory. This one word has a big impact on pretty much every factor of the real estate market.

In the past year, inventory has continued its trend of record low numbers, driving up demand, home prices, and buyer frustration along with it.

But, new data suggests that this winter may see a flurry of new homes for sale. That’s big news for clients who have put off making a move in the last year.

Let’s dive into the four reasons we may see more real estate activity soon and what this means for you and your clients.

There is pent up demand among sellers

For the past 10 years, people have been living in their homes longer than the historical average. Since 2010, the average tenure in a home has been about 10 years. However, we are now seeing that shift.

Plus, new research indicates that homeowners thinking about selling are about to put their homes on the market this winter instead of waiting until the spring.

Of homeowners planning to enter the market in the next year:

65% – Have just listed (19%) or plan to list this winter
93% – Have already taken steps toward listing their home, including working with an agent (28%)
36% – Have researched the value of their home and others in their neighborhood

With all this data, agents should be prepared to help both buyers and sellers navigate another busy winter in 2022.

Homeowners are sitting on record levels of equity

Today’s homeowners are sitting on a whole lot of equity.

According to a recent report, the average homeowner gained about $56,700 in equity over the past year.

That’s a big incentive for many homeowners to make a move into a home that better fits their needs.

Educating your clients on their equity, and the options it gives them to upgrade or downsize their home, might be just the motivation they need to sell their home and buy one that better fits their needs.

Home has taken on a new meaning

There’s no questioning it. Life today looks a lot different than it did in January 2020.

While most of us have spent the better part of the last two years in our homes, it’s made us take a long, hard look at what we really want and need out of our dwellings.

Plus, a recent poll indicates that home has taken on a new meaning for many American homeowners.

According to the study, the top reasons sellers want to move are:

33% – They have realized they want different home features
37% – They say their home no longer meets their family’s needs
32% – They want to move closer to friends and family
23% – They are looking for a home office

And with mortgage rates on the rise, experts anticipate sellers may be more inclined to start the search for that perfect home sooner than later.

It is now cheaper to own than rent

Rental prices have been on a steady incline for the last twenty years, and that isn’t expected to change anytime soon.

According to a recent report by Apartmentlist.com:

“Since January of this year, the national median rent has increased by a staggering 16.4 percent. To put that in context, rent growth from January to September averaged just 3.4 percent in the pre-pandemic years from 2017-2019.”

While most renters think that it’s the cheaper option, we have three words for them: fixed-rate mortgage. As rent continues to appreciate (with no end in sight), homeowners can lock in a payment for the next 15-30 years with little change on their monthly amount due.

However, the biggest incentive for renters to buy comes down to equity. For every monthly mortgage payment made, they’re investing into their financial future. And that equity also continues to build over years of home price appreciation.

To put it plainly, whether you’re a renter or a buyer, you’re paying a mortgage. But you definitely have a lot more financial advantages when it’s your own.

BOTTOM LINE

The 2022 housing market is set to begin with a bang, and the agents who succeed will be the ones who are prepared to take immediate action.

Today’s market conditions mean that we’re probably headed for yet another busy winter season, with real estate experts suggesting there may be even more activity in 2022.
