There is a clear trend in our local real estate market over the last five months… and its good news for sellers while providing some challenges for our buyers.

Trendvision’s® most recent year-over-year, March 2019 vs. March 2018 Report shows (-6.7%) fewer homes sold last month and inventory remains low throughout the Palm Springs area. The number of homes sold was down (-10.8%) in the under $500K price bracket, essentially flat in the $500-$999,999 price range, and up a healthy (+15.7%) for homes selling for over $1M.

Inventory constraints eased slightly in the $500-$999,999 price range with a slight (+2.0%) increase in homes available for sale. Inventory for the under $500K price range was nearly unchanged, and there were (-5.7%) fewer homes available for sale priced $1M+.

Average selling prices rose (+9.0%) for homes priced under $500K, and sale prices rose (+9.6%) for homes priced $1M+. Selling prices remained flat for homes in the $500-$999,999 price range. 

Interest rates are still very attractive and remain well below 5%, which is helping the market. You can get a 30-year fixed rate mortgage at 4.375% and the FHA 30-year fixed rate is 4.125%.  If you’re financing a larger amount, the Jumbo 30-year fixed rates are 4.25% and adjustable Jumbo loans can be had for as low as 3.75%. 

Let’s look at the three key market indicators, Average Sold Price, Number of Homes for Sale, and Number of Days on Market, for a good snapshot of the Palm Springs area real estate market and, its overall health.

• Average Home Sold Prices rose overall in the Palm Springs area by (+13.2%) over the same month last year. The biggest gains were for homes priced under $500K (+9.0%) and homes priced $1M+ selling for (+9.7%) more. 
• Number of Days on Market dropped (-2.3%) compared to March of last year, with the biggest change in the $1M+ price range where Days on Market dropped (-8.1%) over last year. Homes in the other price bands were selling quicker than a year ago as well, with Days on Market down (-6.2%) for homes priced $500,000-$999,999 and down (-2.5%) for homes priced under $500,000.
• The Number of Homes for Sale. The number of homes for sale peaked in February at 3,850, with a slight decline last month to 3,742. Well keep an eye on this number next month, as we may have started our typical seasonal decline in available inventory.  Inventory last month was down down slightly (-0.8%) over March of last year.

I’ve stated this for the last 5 months, and it’s still true today … current trends have us in a seller’s market in most areas, with homes selling quickly and desirable homes priced right receiving multiple offers.

City Standouts! What’s Up and Who’s Down?

Continuing our trend over the last five months, the Number of Homes Sold in March 2019 vs. March 2018 was down across the Palm Springs area. The biggest percentage drop in sales were found in Bermuda Dunes down (-52.2%), Cathedral City down (-21.3%) and La Quinta down (-19.1%). Sales remained essential flat in Coachella while Indian Wells and Indio saw sales increased (+11.8%) and (+7.8%) respectively. 

Most cities experienced a rise in average selling prices, with the exceptions being Rancho Mirage, down (-17.4%), La Quinta, down (-10.7%), and Coachella, down (-6.7%).

It’s A Trend … Sales Are Down While Prices Are Up!

If three months in a row makes a trend, we have a clear new trend in our local housing market. The number of homes sold fell for the third month in a row in the Palm Springs area, and inventory is now at a 10-year low. While there are fewer homes on the market, buyer activity remains strong and that’s driving home prices up. 

Available inventory is down (-7.3%) over the same month a year ago, with 298 fewer homes available for sale. With fewer homes available for sale, we’re seeing a slowdown in actual home sales, with the number of homes sold down (-17.2%) over the prior January. 

As a result, the average selling price rose (+5.7%) to $504,000 and the average selling price per square foot rose (+7.4%) to $247. 

Homes continue to sell quickly, with Days on Market down (-11.4%) to 78 days.

Trendvision’s® most recent year-over-year, January 2019 vs. January 2018 Report shows fewer homes sold in all price bands, with the biggest drop in the under $500,000 price band, with a (-19.0%) drop in number of homes sold.  

Home sales in the $500,000-$999,999 price point dropped again this month, with (-12.9%) fewer homes selling, while the $1M+ price band saw sales fall off by (-10.2%).

Homes continue to sell quickly, with Days on Market down (-11.4%) to 78 days. 

Trendvision’s® most recent year-over-year, January 2019 vs. January 2018 Report shows fewer homes sold in all price bands, with the biggest drop in the under $500,000 price band, with a (-19.0%) drop in number of homes sold.  

Home sales in the $500,000-$999,999 price point dropped again this month, with (-12.9%) fewer homes selling, while the $1M+ price band saw sales fall off by (-10.2%).

Average selling prices rose in all price categories, with the largest percentage increase in the under $500,000 category, with a (+4.5%) increase in average selling price. The $1M+ and $500,000-$999,999 price bands saw smaller gains, with average selling prices rising by (+2.9%) and (+0.6%) respectively. 

Let’s look at the three key market indicators, Average Sold Price, Number of Homes for Sale, and Number of Days on Market, for a good snapshot of the Palm Springs area real estate market and, its overall health.

• Average Home Sold Prices rose overall in the Palm Springs area by (+5.7%) over the same month last year. The biggest gains were at the low end and the high end of the market, with sale prices of homes priced $500,000-$999,999 remaining essentially flat. Interestingly, after relatively slow growth in home pricing over the last few years, appreciation of attached homes (condos) has outpaced detached homes (single family homes) over the last few months.
• Number of Days on Market dropped (-6.9%) compared to January of last year, with the biggest change in the $1M+ price range where Days on Market rose (+51.2%) over last year. Homes in the other price bands were selling quicker than a year ago with Days on Market down (-15.8%) for homes priced $500,000-$999,999 and down (-9.4%) for homes priced under $500,000.
• The Number of Homes for Sale. While we are seeing the typical seasonal uptick in new listings, our inventory is still below what is normal for this time of year. Inventory is down (-7.3%) over January of last year and strong buyer activity combined with inventory shortages will likely drive an ongoing shortage of desirable housing in the are for the foreseeable future.

Current trends have us in a seller’s market in most areas, with homes selling quickly and desirable homes priced right receiving multiple offers.

City Standouts! What’s Up and Who’s Down?

For the third month in a row, the Number of Homes Sold in January 2019 vs. January 2018 was down across the Palm Springs area. Once again, the number of homes sold was down all cities except for Coachella, which saw a (+14.3%) increase in home sales. The largest percentage drop in home sales was in Cathedral City, down (-44.1%), Bermuda Dunes down (-31.2%), and Rancho Mirage down (-28.8%).

When looking at Average Selling Price, most cities experienced a rise in average selling prices, with the exceptions being Indian Wells, down (-17.6%), Bermuda Dunes, down (-12.6%), and Palm Springs, down (-0.9%).  

The Number of Days on Market was down in about half of our cities, with homes selling fastest this month in … Cathedral City (-22.4%), Palm Springs (-18.7%), and Palm Desert (-18.3%).

Home Sales Down, Inventory Woes Ease, Sale Prices Continue Their Rise!

For the second month in a row, we’re seeing a familiar story … inventory constraints are easing slightly, selling prices are continuing their upward trend, but fewer homes are selling. 

Inventory, which had been down as much as (-25%) over last year, is only down (-11.1%) in the last reporting period, with 429 fewer homes available for sale. Perhaps reflecting the lack of desirable inventory, the number of homes sold was down (-21.7%) over the same month last year. 

At the same time, the average selling price rose (+12.4%) to $485,000 and the average selling price per square foot rose (+12.8%) to $247. 

Homes continue to sell quickly, with Days on Market down (-11.5%) to 77 days.

Trendvision’s® most recent year-over-year, December 2018 vs. December 2017 Report show that the largest increase in home sales last month took place $1M+ price band, with a (+5.0%) increase in the number of homes sold.  

Home sales in the Under $499,999 price point dropped for the second month in a row, with (-21.7%) fewer homes selling, while the $500,000 - $999,999 price band saw the largest drop in sales, a (-27.9%) drop.

For the second month in a row, we’re seeing a familiar story … inventory constraints are easing slightly, selling prices are continuing their upward trend, but fewer homes are selling. 

Inventory, which had been down as much as (-25%) over last year, is only down (-11.1%) in the last reporting period, with 429 fewer homes available for sale. Perhaps reflecting the lack of desirable inventory, the number of homes sold was down (-21.7%) over the same month last year. 

At the same time, the average selling price rose (+12.4%) to $485,000 and the average selling price per square foot rose (+12.8%) to $247. 

Homes continue to sell quickly, with Days on Market down (-11.5%) to 77 days. 

Trendvision’s® most recent year-over-year, December 2018 vs. December 2017 Report show that the largest increase in home sales last month took place $1M+ price band, with a (+5.0%) increase in the number of homes sold.  

Home sales in the Under $499,999 price point dropped for the second month in a row, with (-21.7%) fewer homes selling, while the $500,000 - $999,999 price band saw the largest drop in sales, a (-27.9%) drop.

Average selling prices rose both in all price categories, with the largest percentage increase in the $1M+ category, with a strong (+23.4%) increase in average selling price. The $500,000 - $999,999 and Up to $499,999 price bands saw smaller gains, with average selling prices rising by (+1.5%) and (+4.2%) respectively. 

Let’s look at the three key market indicators, Average Sold Price, Number of Homes for Sale, and Number of Days on Market, for a good snapshot of the Palm Springs area real estate market and, its overall health.

• Average Home Sold Prices rose overall in the Palm Springs area by (+12.3%) over the same month last year. The $1M+ price range saw the biggest increase, (+23.4%) over December of last year, while the under $500,000 price range saw average selling prices rise (+4.2%). Selling prices for homes priced $500,000 - $999,999 rose slightly, by (+1.5%).
• Number of Days on Market dropped (-11.5%) overall compared to December of last year, with the biggest change in the Up To $499,999 price range, with a (-14.3%) reduction in Days on Market. Homes priced to $499,999 sold faster with Days on Market dropping (-4.3%) and homes priced $1M+ saw Days on Market drop by (-1.9%). Overall homes were selling in an average of 77 days.
• The Number of Homes for Sale. Inventory problems are starting to ease a bit as we see more homes come on the market during season, yet inventory was still (-11.1%) lower than December 2017. Inventory shortages are hitting homes priced Up To $499,999 the hardest, with (-15.6%) fewer homes available in that price band. For homes priced $500,000 - $999,999, inventory was down (-4.8%) over the same time last year. Inventory was down (-6.6%) for homes priced $1M and above.

While inventory woes have eased somewhat, as we have seen all year, buyers have fewer homes to choose from, and sellers are finding they can command higher prices for their homes if they are in good condition and properly priced.

City Standouts! What’s Up and Who’s Down?

For the second month in a row, the Number of Homes Sold in December 2018 vs. December 2017 was down across the Palm Springs area. The number of homes sold was down all cities except for Coachella, which saw a (+33.3%) increase in home sales. The largest percentage drop in home sales was in Bermuda Dunes, down (-62.5%), Desert Hot Springs down (-37.3%), Indian wells down (-33.3%), and Palm Desert down (-31.7%).

When looking at Average Selling Price, La Quinta saw the largest percentage increase with a (+50.4%) rise in average selling prices. Palm Desert selling prices rose (+23.0%) last month and Palm Springs, Desert Hot Springs, and Cathedral City saw price increases of (+4,0%), (+3.7%), and (+3.0%) respectively. 

The Number of Days on Market was down across the board, with homes selling fastest this month in … Cathedral City (-26.1%), Bermuda Dunes (-23.1%), Rancho Mirage (-21.4%), and Palm Springs (-15.2%).

It’s that time of year … we reflect on the year that was … and we look forward to the year ahead. 

When we reflect on our local real estate market, it’s been a fantastic year for sellers, with strong buyer activity resulting in homes selling faster and at higher prices than the year prior.  And while inventory is low, buyer’s are still finding fantastic homes at prices that make them a really good value.

Home Sales Down, Inventory Woes Ease, Sale Prices Continue Their Rise!

December is often the slowest month for home sales in the Palm Springs area, and we experienced the typical slight downturn in sales that comes as many of our buyers turn their focus to family for the holidays.

Inventory constraints showed improvement for the third month in a row, with the number of homes available for sale (-8.6%) below November of last year … much lower than the (-25.0%) we had seen over the summer. The number of homes sold is down slightly (-9.1%), not unexpected for this time of year, while average selling prices rose nearly (+11.5%).

Trendvision’s® most recent year-over-year, November 2018 vs. November 2017 Report show that the largest increase in home sales last month once again took place with mid-range homes priced $500,000 to $999,999, with a (+24.8%) increase.  

Home sales in the Under $499,999 price point dropped by (-16.8%) while the $1M+ price band saw a (-8.6%) drop in sales, but average selling prices in both of these categories rose by (+7.1%) and (+11.9%) respectively.

Typical seasonal changes in sales are evident. But Selling Prices Remain Strong!

Let’s look at the three key market indicators, Average Sold Price, Number of Homes for Sale, and Number of Days on Market, for a good snapshot of the Palm Springs area real estate market and, its overall health.

• Average Home Sold Prices rose overall in the Palm Springs area by (+11.5%) over the same month last year. The $1M+ price range saw the biggest increase, (+11.9%) over November of last year, while the under $500,000 price range saw average selling prices rise (+7.1%). There was a slight drop (-1.5%) in average selling prices for homes priced $500,000 - $999,999.
• Number of Days on Market dropped (-15.7%) overall compared to November of last year, with the biggest change in the $1M+ price range, with a (-42.5%) reduction in Days on Market over the same period last year. Homes priced to $499,999 sold faster with Days on Market dropping (-15.7%) and homes priced $500,000 - $999,999 saw Days on Market drop by (-17.6%). Overall homes were selling in an average of 75 days.
• The Number of Homes for Sale. With inventory recently at a 5-year low, we’re seeing more homes come on the market, but inventory was still (-8.6%) lower than November 2017. For homes priced up to $500,000 - $999,999, inventory was about the same as this time last year. Inventory was down (-5.2%) for homes priced $1M and above and home priced under $500,000 saw inventory levels (-13.5%) below this month a year ago.

While inventory woes have eased somewhat, as we have seen all year, buyers have fewer homes to choose from, and sellers are finding they can command higher prices for their homes if they are in good condition and properly priced.

City Standouts! What’s Up and Who’s Down?

For the most part, as indicated above, the Number of Homes Sold in November 2018 vs. November 2017 were down in all but three of the cities, with an increase in the number of home sold in: Bermuda Dunes up (+60.0%), La Quinta up (+7.1%), Indio up (+3.0%). The largest percentage decline in home sales was in Coachella (-57.1%) followed by Indian Wells with a (-23.8%) decline.

When looking at Average Sold Price, Indian wells saw the largest percentage increase with a (+75.8%) rise in average selling prices, with Indio and La Quinta following behind with (+19.7%) and (+17.0%) increases respectively. The largest drop in average selling prices last month, for the 2nd month in a row, was Rancho Mirage with a (-19.8%) drop.

The Number of Days on Market was down in all but two cities, with homes selling faster this month in … Desert Hot Springs (-33.0%), Cathedral City (-16.9%), Palm Desert (-21.2%), Rancho Mirage (-19.3%), Indian Wells (-42.6%), La Quinta (-9.0%), Indio (-7.2%), Coachella (-52.5%).

Palm Springs Area Home Prices Continue to Rise!

Inventory Constraints Continue to Ease, Sale Prices Continue to Rise

As we enter into our busiest time of year, we are seeing modest improvement in inventory levels, solid sales numbers, and a continued rise in average sale price. Inventory constraints showed improvement this month, with the number of homes available for sale (-13.3%) below October of last year. That number is an improvement over the (-15%) we experienced the prior month. At the same time, the number of homes sold remained stable, while average selling prices rose nearly (+8%).

Trendvision’s® most recent year-over-year, October 2018 vs. October 2017 Report show that the largest increase in home sales last month once again took place with mid-range homes priced $500,000 to $999,999, with a (+15.9%) increase.  Home sales dropped slightly in the Under $499,999 price point, but average selling prices in both of these categories rose last month.

Homes in the $1M+ price range saw a (+8.3%) increase in number of homes sold and a substantial drop in the number available for sale, down (-15.3%), while average selling price remained virtually the same as the same time last year.

Low Inventory Eases yet Homes Are Selling Quicker. Our Local Market Stays Strong!

Let’s look at the three key market indicators, Average Sold Price, Number of Homes for Sale, and Number of Days on Market, for a good snapshot of the Palm Springs area real estate market and, its overall health.

• Average Home Sold Prices rose overall in the Palm Springs area by (+8.1%) over the same month last year. The under $500,000 price range saw the biggest increase, (+6.9%) over October of last year, and the $500,000-$999,999 price range saw average selling prices rise (+3.0%). 
• Number of Days on Market dropped (-13.5%) overall compared to October of last year, with the biggest change in the $500,000-$999,999 price range, with a (-23.7%) reduction in Days on Market over the same period last year. Homes priced $1M+ took longer to sell, with Days on Market rising by (+34.8%) to 151 days.
• The Number of Homes for Sale, recently at a 5-year low, was (-13.3%) lower than October 2017. For homes priced up to $499,999, inventory was (-17.9%) lower than last year, and buyers looking in this price range are finding it challenging to find good properties that meet their needs.

While inventory woes have eased somewhat, as we have seen all year, buyers have fewer homes to choose from, and sellers are finding they can command higher prices for their homes if they are in good condition and properly priced.
