Market Update - June 25, 2007

By
Managing Real Estate Broker with The Lloyd Realty Group DRE# D00610006

In the last 30 days, we have had 38 closings in Lake Forest.  These ranged in price from a low of $260,000 for a one bedroom condo with 710 square feet to a high of $1,150,000 for a home in Montbury Estates with an "equestrian zoned" 16,000 foot lot with a beautiful sunset view.  The number of closings are 55% below the volume of 2006, when we closed 81 properties. 

While the average time on the market was 51 days, it is interesting to note that both of these extremes sold much faster.  The small condo sold on the first day on the market, while the most expensive, but unique, estate took only 43 days to sell.

Vicki.. we are seeing a slowdown in sales and an increase in homes for sale but that usually happens this time of year.. well priced is selling but the middle range is just sitting.. I have buyers that will not budge on price period.. it will be interesting to see what the next few months brings..

Hi Kaye - Yes - it's pretty tough right now.  I've noticed a slight uptick in activity in the last few weeks, but that may be due to increased rates - I think that makes buyers jump off the fence!
