Santaluz Homes Are Selling Quickly!

Santaluz is Hot, Hot, Hot

Santaluz suffered the downturn with more than its share of distressed sales.  Those days seem like a distant memory as the market has flipped into high gear in 2013! The short sales and foreclosures that have been sold and are now closing are the envy of todays buyers. Agents as well as home owners are in shock as they see prices escalate. People that purchased distressed sales are now the envy of their friends that stayed on the sidelines. The biggest question everyone has is “where is this market headed.” That is the zillion dollar question. I was honored  at an Awards Luncheon the other day for top producers for Coldwell Banker. Jeff Culbertson,President of Coldwell Banker LA,Orange County, Desert and San Diego was siting near me. I asked him what his opinion was on the current market. He told me more than 60% of all sales in LA and Orange County have been all cash. In all the counties he stated agents were telling him sellers were experiencing multiple offers and increases in pricing. The SD Union reported on 4/24/2013 that mortgage defaults were the lowest since 2005. Repossessions are shrinking as banks try to work with home owners in modifying their payments with the Homeowners Bill of Rights Program. In March SD Union reported SD County prices hit a 5 year high reaching a median of $380,000. That is a 19% increase from the same time last year using Data Quick statisics.

Selling a Santaluz Home

We have lived in Santaluz for 10 years and love to share the Santaluz lifestyle with people. It is not just about a house/floor plan in this community. We have a saying…you can buy a nice home in many places but the Santaluz lifestyle is UNIQUE. I hear all the time from people that they never really understood what that meant. They ended up purchasing in Santaluz and then learned very quickly that it was easy to make friends, fun to go for coffee and a chat at Fresh Roast, easy to schedule fitness classes at the gym and great fun to walk the trails with their favorite 4 legged companion. If  you are considering a sale and want us to share the Santaluz Lifestyle with potential buyers let us know.

Poway Home Price per Square Foot Trends for September 2012

Poway single family home sale trends for September 2012.

The September 2012 Selling Price per Square Foot of $266 was up 3.1% from $258 last month and up 2.7% from $259 in September of last year.

The Selling Price per Square Foot is a great indicator for the direction of Property values. Since Median Sales Price and Average Sales price can be impacted by the ‘mix’ of high or low end Properties in the market, the selling price per square foot is a more normalized indicator on the direction of Property values.
