laguna west lakeside: Second Place is Last Place, Elk Grove Jan. 2021 Real Estate Update - 02/15/21 09:57 AM
Elk Grove, January 2021
Buyers
     The market in Elk Grove is very difficult for home buyers.  You get a hint of how hard it is when you look at the numbers.  Prices are way up year over year.  Few homes are on the market and, when the few houses available hit the market, they are in contract very quickly.  Here is what we are facing day to day.  A house comes on the market.  My very well qualified client puts an offer in way over the highest recent sales and offers to pay all costs in the contract (traditionally, the seller pays … (25 comments)

laguna west lakeside: Laguna West, Lakeside, Stonelake Market Update, Dec 2020 - 01/10/21 09:42 AM
Laguna West, Lakeside and Stonelake, Dec. 2020
 
I include the neighborhoods of Laguna West, Lakeside and Stonelake together because they are very similar in style.  Pricing was very strong over the last year, while inventory was way down.  Currently, there are only 4 homes available with an average listing price of $586,947.  It is a very good market for homeowners that would like to sell, but a very difficult market for home buyers. 
Laguna West, Lakeside and Stonelake, 4th Quarter 2020
I like to look at the last month versus the last quarter to see if the trends are similar in such a small … (11 comments)

     We were off to a very strong start in Elk Grove this year prior to the Covid 19 pandemic.  April pricing held up in Elk Grove even considering that some of these sales occurred after the stay at home order was given.  April Median home prices were up 4.4% year over year and about $5,000 over March (See March Report 2020).  We could only show vacant homes over most of last month, but that order has lifted and … (15 comments)

     These charts show sold homes that went into contract early in the year, mostly January and February.  Doesn't that seem like a lifetime ago?  The stay at home order due to COVID 19 has created a lot of market uncertainty not reflected in these past numbers.  The pandemic has definitely affected our Elk Grove market; 11 homes were put on hold and 11 listing contracts were canceled since the middle of March.  The number … (13 comments)

laguna west lakeside: Why Elk Grove? - 03/26/20 11:11 AM
Why Elk Grove?
What makes Elk Grove, CA special and attractive as a place to live?  I thought I would ask some of our long term residents for their collective wisdom.  Here is what they had to say:
Elenice Gomez-When we first moved here 16 years ago, affordability and the schools were the deciding factors.  We also loved the way Elk Grove looked, how well maintained the medians/landscape were, how many parks we have, and how many friendly people there are in comparison to the Bay Area.  The location was also attractive, close to SF, to my Giants and to our old church family and … (14 comments)
