listings: Good News For Fresno Homeowners
- 01/17/13 03:20 AM
The latest stats from the California Association of Realtors show prices of Fresno homes in December rose 6.3% in month-over-month sales (meaning December sales prices were 6.3% higher on average than November sales prices) and a whopping 15.3% year-over-year.
You can read the report online here; December home sales and price report.
BTW - for anyone who happens to read my blog --today I found out my blog was hacked and the hacker put in a bunch of advertisements. I cleaned it up. Hopefully doesn't happen again. ***If you're wondering what's going on with the pic... it happens … (1 comments)
listings: Fresno Real Estate Inventory Drying Up.
- 12/13/12 08:33 AM
I've been noticing for quite some time the dwindling inventory in the Fresno Real Estate Market. Listings are being out numbered by pending sales at a significant clip. This is what I saw when I logged on to the MLS today.
This means over twice as many homes went into contract (Pendings =52) in the last 24 hours then came onto market (New Listings = 23) Its a trend I have been observing for quite some time which perhaps is now exacerbated by the Holiday Season. The other factors I think influencing this market imbalance is a slowdown in foreclosures … (1 comments)

listings: Fresno CA Real Estate Market Statistics
- 06/25/12 01:21 PM
Years ago I would comment on how lop-sided the market was to the sell side. For example in THIS POST from Aug. of 2007 the stats showed that sellers were over buyers by over 3 to 1. Things have really changed. Last week on one of our Fresno MLS 24 hour market watches we had one day that was REALLY balanced. Take a LOOK:
Notice the New Listings = 47 and the Pendings (properties that went into contract) = 47 and the Solds (properties that closed escrow) = 46. That’s a pretty well balanced market. Here’s a look at today’s … (2 comments)

- 04/28/09 05:16 PM
Was busy doing showings this afternoon in an area where sales have been brisk. The volume of REOs in this particular neighborhood has been so high that I noticed prices drop 10% in a matter of about 2 or 3 months. I noticed a lot of homes with non-mls lock boxes --- meaning that the homes are being foreclosed on and will be coming to market soon. Looks like another wave of homes is set to hit the market soon. I spoke with my insurance agent today who told me there were 6 pages of NODs (Notice of Default) in the … (0 comments)

This is a follow up to my last blog. There is an article in the Wall Street Journal today title The Green House of the Future in which four architects provide illustrations of what Green Homes of the future might look like. The article concludes with all four architects in agreement on one thing (when you see the pictures you will agree it certainly was NOT design..lol) and that is Americans need to learn to live in smaller spaces if we are going to make an impact on the environment. When I look at the designs I wonder who is going to … (0 comments)

listings: Fresno California Real Estate - Market Update
- 12/11/08 09:30 AM
As I have I have reported in previous blogs the Fresno California Real Estate Market has hit a bottom and at has, at least for the time being, turned UP. The banks have been more aggressive in their pricing of foreclosed homes and sometimes have the homes priced so reasonably that MULTIPLE OFFERS are made. Investors who were sellers at the top of the market are now back scooping up homes at bargain prices. The chart below shows the year over year improvement in sales from Sept of 2007 through Sept of 2008.

Here are the 24 hour market stats for the Fresno California Real Estate Market: Its fairly a apparent from the stats (as in Price Reductions) that prices continue to decline but you have to understand that many of the listings with price reductions were WAY over priced to begin with and either the banks or the owners are just figuring it out.
Our monthly sales figures are improving. As priced drop buyers continue to move into the market. I just closed an escrow for a first time home buyer and have an offer out for another young couple seeking to … (0 comments)

A good friend of mine just purchased a cabin in Huntington Lake (photo left). NO, I did not participate in the transaction; he bought the property for-sale-by-owner directily from the owner. From what I know of the transaction though, it appears he got a screaming good deal. This weekend a group of us when up to help him do a little work on it. I'll admit I didnt do too much work but my son Joshua made up for what little I contributed. Another friend of ours happens to also own a cabin up there and she we gracious enough … (1 comments)
