May home sales and price report

LOS ANGELES (June 16) – California home sales fell to the lowest level since the Great Recession as the housing market suffered the full impact of the coronavirus pandemic in May and remained below 300,000 for the second straight month, the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (C.A.R.) said today. Closed escrow sales of existing, single-family detached homes in California totaled a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 238,740 units in May, according to information collected by C.A.R. from more than 90 local REALTOR® associations and MLSs statewide. The statewide annualized sales figure represents what would be the total number of homes sold during 2020 if sales maintained the May pace throughout the year. It is adjusted to account for seasonal factors that typically influence home sales. May’s sales total was down 13.9 percent from 277,440 in April and down 41.4 percent from a year ago, when 407,330 homes were sold on an annualized basis. It was the second straight month that home sales dropped below 300,000 units. Additionally, the year-to-year drop was the largest since November 2007, contributing to a year-to-date sales drop of 12.9 percent. “The sharp sales drop in May was the steepest we’ve seen in some time, but there are encouraging signs that show the market is recovering and should continue to improve over the next few months,” said 2020 C.A.R. President Jeanne Radsick, a second-generation REALTOR® from Bakersfield, Calif. “With pending home sales up a stunning 67 percent in May, buyer demand is on the upswing amid record-low rates that are making monthly mortgage payments $300 less than a year ago.” Finish reading here.

South Lake Tahoe Real Estate Market Stats

With a 3.1 monthly absorption rate, we are in a strong seller’s market. Given the current state of the Covid world and while access to Tahoe for many is virtual, somewhat counter- intuitively, we are still enjoying an active real-estate market where solid values can be obtained by the buying and selling markets. Real estate listing Inventory is maintaining a slow but solid number of new listings coming to market while other inventory leaves the market in the form of sales (see absorption rate above) or expired listings. What we look for in these leading indicators is direction of the RE market for purposes of anticipating pricing and sales expectation. What we see currently is consistency (as opposed to volatility, such as the liquid equity investments markets). Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us and discuss the market place and how this might affect your plans for your real-estate at the moment we have green lights and blue skies but we’ll have to view it virtually!
