Glendale, CA                                                         February , 2010
 
At A Glance
The Market Activity Index decreased for the third month in a row, creating the perfect storm for buyers:  low interest rates (although projected to increase soon), more inventory, and prices dipping.  Remember that you need to open escrow by April 30th and close by June 30th, so for a short sale that could be a challenge.   To lock your rate you need an accepted offer.

glendale: Glendale, CA Real Estate Market Report, May, 200 - 06/12/08 10:06 AM

Glendale has been feeling the effects of the market shift, both ups and downs.  Like the other markets I monitor, market activity has been increasing.

glendale: Burbank, CA Real Estate Market Report, May, 2008 - 06/10/08 11:19 PM
 
 
Burbank, like other local markets, is seeing a very busy spring selling season.  Buyers may be waiting on the sidelines, however there is a lot to think about, not just dream about.
Market Index
In most markets the last peak was in May and June of 2007.  Burbank's market index in May of 2008 reached 0.31, surpassing the previous peak of 0.30.
Pending Ratio
Homes going into escrow mean homes closing escrow, which in most cases means reduced inventory.  When inventory declines, price go up, right?  So for the last few months the pending ratio has been I increasing: … (0 comments)

glendale: Burbank, CA Real Estate Market Report April 2008 - 05/16/08 05:43 PM
All markets go through cycles, and Burbank is no exception.  For the last two years we knew that Burbank was experiencing a buyer's market and the question has always been "when is it going to hit bottom?".  My answer has always been the same, that we will know until two or three months AFTER the market is headed back up.
 
Despite what you may read or see in the media, things might be changing.  First, the Market Index for the month of April  hit 0.24, the highest since the mortgage meltdown last August.  There is a rule of thumb that … (0 comments)

glendale: Glendale, CA Real Estate Market Report, April, 2008 - 05/12/08 09:59 AM
Glendale, like most markets in Southern California, has seen a shift from a seller's market to a strong buyer's market.  Fueled by the mortgage meltdown in August and September of 2007, the number of buyers qualified to purchase homes has been severely decreased due to more restrictive lending guidelines.  Homeowners who purchased property with Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs) found themselves facing adjusting interest rates that in some cases forced them to either sell their home or even face foreclosure.  Many homes are on the market not because the owners wanted to sell, but because they had to sell.  The shrinking pool … (0 comments)
