There's Nothing For Sale in Aliso Viejo!

June 18, 2012 - - - The big story in Aliso Viejo Real Estate is nothing is for sale!  Talk to any friends who are trying to buy something here.  You will hear many stories of being outbid multiple times.  You will hear stories of town homes and houses being available for only 1 or 2 days!  Things loosen up a bit with homes asking $600,000 or more.

 

I live in Camden Park.  We have 157 town homes in this development.  We usually have 3 or 4 for sale at any given moment.  Today there is only 1 for sale!

 

Just north of me is San Simeon, with 161 houses.  They too normally have 3 or 4 for sale.  And there too, there is only 1 for sale!  That house has been on the market only 14 days.  As of 2 days ago they have 4 offers and the House will most likely sell a little over asking Price!

 

I follow 12 tracts in West Central Aliso Viejo very closely.  There are about 1600 Houses and town homes, total.  Normally there are around 25 for sale at any given time.  Today there are only 6 for sale!

 

For sellers, this is a great time to sell.  Your Home will sell quickly, with minimal hassle, (unless you put a silly price on it). 

Can you get a 2006 price?  Of course not.  But you already knew that.  You can get a price equal to the highest comparable sale (attached vs. detached, square footage, within the last 6 months).

 

The other great news is the Average Median Sales Price has finally stopped dropping in Aliso Viejo!  After falling for 4 months in a row, the AMSP went up 1%, from $344,000 to $348,000 – Dec. through May. 

Sales volume is through the roof, with 120 closed sales in May!  That’s 64% above average!

 

Short sales and bank-owned foreclosures rose over the last 2 weeks.  Because the total number of homes for sale is so low, the percentages can change pretty radically with just a couple homes added for sale.

Standard Sellers = 54 - 72%, down 9 percentage points since May 28!

According to Steven Thomas, as of June7, Market Time is 0.65 Months in Aliso Viejo – heavily in favor of the sellers.  Demand is 127 new escrows per month, 63% above average!

 

The climb in Aliso Viejo list prices is accelerating!  Half the properties in Aliso Viejo are now listed over $475,000!

the law of supply and demand should take over. However, as the prices start to rise, more inventory will appear and put a damper on the price rise.

Hi Mark, we are not down to zero, however, the inventory in both Anaheim and Fullerton are both down approximately 75% from a year ago.

Hi Ronald, Very close to Aliso Veijo...  Our current inventory is about 70.  We would normally have 200 for sale.

To many Buyers, it "feels like" zero.
