humboldt county: Humboldt County, California November Real Estate Statistics - 12/16/10 08:19 PM
I'm a little late getting these stats our, but the real estate market in Humboldt County, California is hanging in there during the month of November!
There are currently 568 homes on the market, which is just a hair higher than our "normal" 500- 550, and close to our recent low of 550. Fewer homes on the market, of course, supports prices and keeps them from falling. That's good.
The bad news is that we only sold 57 homes in November in Humboldt County, a recent record low for the month. Fewer homes sold puts downward pressure on prices. … (0 comments)

humboldt county: October 2010 Humboldt County Real Estate Market Statistics - 11/04/10 03:09 PM
What do our October 2010 Humboldt County, California real estate statistics look like? We seem to have started a downward trend in prices again in Humboldt County, California. The number of active homes on the market, while not a huge number, is creeping up in relationship to previous years. We now have 677 homes active on the market; that's much closer to 2008 levels than 2009 levels. And more homes on the market will mean downward pressure on prices.
Especially when the number of homes sold is down as well. At 72 homes sold, we're just a hair below 2008 … (0 comments)

humboldt county: Humboldt County, California Real Estate Market Update - September 2010 - 10/08/10 06:29 PM
What is the state of the real estate market in Humboldt County, Califorina? Our "Active" homes, while starting out the year lower than last year, crossed over 2009 in August, and have been tracking slightly higher than last year since. While this certainly isn't bad news, it does neutralize one of the good pieces of news we had through the first half of the year. If real estate inventory is down, it would certainly seem to put upward pressure (or neutralize any downward pressure) on home prices. Moving from under to over 2009 just removes a little reason we have to … (0 comments)

humboldt county: July 2010 Humboldt County, CA Market Statistics - 08/03/10 02:09 PM
The statistics show that July was a good news/bad news month for the Humboldt County, CA real estate market. First the bad news: inventory is up and sales are down.
As with the rest of the country, the expiration of the federal home buyers' tax credits has created a lull in the market, with many people that would have bought in July deciding to buy in April and May to take advantage of the tax credit. A month later, there are fewer buyers, leading to fewer sold homes, and more homes left on the market.
The good news is … (0 comments)

humboldt county: June 2010 Humboldt County Real Estate Market Statistics - 07/06/10 07:21 PM
The numbers are in, and our real estate market statistics for June 2010 here in Humboldt County, California are hanging in there. Our "Active Homes," while rising, are still staying below the levels of the last couple of years. “Normal” for this time of year is up to around 650; we’re above that at 709.
Our level of "Sold Homes," 89, is as high as it's been in 2 years. The combination of lower inventory of homes on the market, and the higher volume of sales should support prices, keeping them from going lower, and perhaps even encouraging a modest price increase.

humboldt county: Is Print Advertising Dying? - 03/16/10 12:26 AM
One of the hot questions in real estate is this: "Is print advertising dying?" While many think so, I don't. What is dying is "traditional" advertising. What's the difference?
Traditional advertising is more of a mindset rather than a medium. Take the standard glossy real estate magazine. It will have 48 pages of ads from different Realtors, each page filled with a small photo of a home and 20 words or so of text. The debate rages about whether addresses should be added or withheld in order to get the buyer prospect to call the Realtor. Can a small photo and … (2 comments)

humboldt county: I Sold My House. When Do I Pack? - 01/04/10 06:26 PM
I got a great question from a client today. She has her current house in Eureka in escrow, and is looking for a new house in Visalia. "When do I start packing?" she asked.
A typical, 30 day escrow can be divided into 4 big chunks. During week 1, the sellers deliver all of their disclosures to the buyers, and the buyers arrange to have all of their inspections done. During the second week, the buyer usually reviews the disclosures, their inspection reports, the preliminary title report (prelim), and the natural hazard disclosure (NHD).
These first 2 weeks are … (1 comments)
