Sacramento foreclosures still rising and so are the home prices

Sacramento Foreclosure Homes Still Up, but Prices Are Rising



By: John Cutts

Sacramento foreclosure homes are still surging, but prices are rising, based on reports from the Sacramento Association of Realtors, the California Association of Realtors and research firms.

In the counties of Sacramento, El Dorado, Yolo and Placer, the percentage of mortgages in default has risen to 12.29 percent in January 2010, a jump from 11.99 in December 2009 and far above the 7.64-percent level in January 2009. The January 2010 rate was higher than the statewide rate of 11.64 percent and the nationwide rate of 8.66 percent.

All throughout 2009, the default rate increased as the unemployment rate climbed up from around 6 percent to surpass the 12-percent level. According to the California State University-Sacramento and the Chaptered Financial Analyst Institute-Sacramento, joblessness is expected to rise further to 13.5 percent in 2010.

Despite the high default and unemployment levels, the median sales price for homes in the 4-county Sacramento area rose by three percent in January year-over-year, climbing up to $174,830. The median though varies county to county, with El Dorado having the highest median at $310,000. The median price statewide was still high at $287,400 despite the still high number of California foreclosures.

Total sales of homes in the Sacramento area fell by 24.9 percent from January 2009 sales and by 29.5 percent from total sales in December 2009.

Meanwhile, according to an online real estate firm, in the city of Sacramento, sale of foreclosures still dominated the market, holding the average price level at $193,425.

It is not only the high unemployment rate that will push the number of Sacramento foreclosure homes to rise. The high percentage of mortgage borrowers with negative equity will also push more foreclosures. In the Sacramento region, more than 46 percent of all mortgaged homes in the area or 229,417 units were underwater as of the final quarter of 2009.

Sales and prices of new houses in the region were also affected by foreclosures. In February, nearly 90 percent of new house sales were priced below $400,000; 41 percent were priced below $300,000; and 45 percent were in the price range of $300,000 to $400,000. Just 12 percent were priced between $400,000 and $500,000 and no new houses were priced above $600,000.

Nevertheless, according to Metrostudy analysts, the region will recover from record numbers of Sacramento foreclosure homes more quickly than most other large metro areas. The analysts said that the problem of overbuilding is not as grave in Sacramento as in other cities.

CITRUS HEIGHT CA MLS STATISTICS

I was on the CITRUS HEIGHTS MLS today looking over the statistics for the zip code of 95621. I found out that there are currently 158 active listings. Out of the 158 actives, there are 61 active contigent listings. These are the short sale listings that do have offers on them. The average list price per sq. foot is 132.0. Out of the 158 active listings, 24 are bank owned listings and 44 are short sale listings. There are 60 pending HOMES FOR SALE IN CITRUS HEIGHTS CA RIGHT NOW.The lowest pending sale is 99k and the highest pending home sale is 305k. There have been 140 homes sold in the last three months. That is an average of 46 homes sold per month. This data is telling me that there is a 3.4 MONTHS SUPPLY OF HOMES FOR SALE IN CITRUS HEIGHTS CA. Since the average price per sq foot of actives is 132 per sq ft. and the average price per square foot of pendings is 127 per sq ft. This data definatly shows there is no downward pressure on prices in CITRUS HEIGHTS CA. If anything it looks like there is a small upward pressure on prices. The supply of homes is only 15 more than September's supply of homes. The housing market traditionally slows down starting in October so the supply really hasnt increase alot.
I would say given the fact that home buyers get a tax credit and the supply of homes isnt increasing tremendously, 2010 looks like a perfect time to buy a house. If a person needs to search for homes they can go to www.rocklinsacramento.com.
