MorganHomes.com | (650) 508-1441 | Residential Real Estate Specialists Whether you are thinking of buying or already own a home the current historically low interest rates may help you save thousands of dollars. Rates in the last week have averaged the lowest point since records were first kept over 30 years ago. Refinancing today may help you save hundreds of dollars in monthly interest payments but even more important are the long term savings. Rates are low right now because the financial crisis in Europe is driving the appetite for U.S. bonds which in turn raises the price and lowers the yield (interest) payment. And since mortgage rates roughly track the 10 Year Treasury Bond you can see where rates are headed and why. Rates are the lowest they've been-period. If you think about t... 07/14/2010

  SALES Home sales in Belmont held their own as 25 homes sold in the month of June. Last month as you may recall 34 homes sold, the most in as many months. In June of 2009 20 homes sold and last year there wasn't a looming deadline to close escrow for a tax credit. (click on the graphic for a full size picture) Speaking of tax credit, don't forget we've effectively extended the $8,000 tax credit by offering any first time buyer 1% of the purchase price as a credit towards their closing costs for anyone who buys a home through us and closes escrow between now and September 30th 2010. MEDIAN PRICE The median price took another jump up from $848,500 last month to $975,000-a 15% increase. The size homes which sold during the same period were about 10% larger so there was still some upward p... 07/09/2010

Who Can Identify This Location? Last month’s mystery photos seemed to stump a number of people, probably because they were so small. A handful  of you knew that they were pictures of the front and back sides of the Belmont Public Library on the Alameda de las Pulgas, near Carlmont Shopping Center. Congratulations to Amy Armes for recognizing the building. Not only was she the first person to answer, her name was the one drawn from the correct answers. Amy, I hope you enjoy your gift card to Citrine Bistro in downtown Redwood City. 05/12/2010

Before the Super Bowl XLIV gets started we thought we’d take a look at what happened in Belmont in January 2010. We’re including two spreadsheets—one for this last January and to help put in perspective, the one from last January. Most statistics across the country point to January of 2009 as the low point for the real estate market. But what are they saying? The lowest point for sales, median price or what? Many pundits are saying that home values hit bottom in January of 2009 and in fact in many of the hardest hit areas like Phoenix that may well hold to be true. But for areas that initially fared better, indications are that the price erosion is continuing. January 2010 January 2009 (Clicking on either chart will deliver a larger picture.)  Looking at these two data samples, it’s eas... 02/07/2010

We thought we'd update this graph depicting the median price in several peninsula cities. Note that while in Q4 of 2007 the median price in Menlo Park was still rising, it had started to fall off dramatically in Daly City. Prices appear to have hit bottom--for now. The real estate landscape has changed so dramatically in the last few years that everything we knew about home values (and recoveries) needs to be reexamined. Could we be in for another double dip? Knowbody knows for for sure--one way of the other. It's safe to say that at some point a recovery will happen and next time it might pay to watch what is going on in other cities. Daly City seems to ge a good barometer as to where the market may he headed...   01/10/2010

We’re posting the sales for Belmont from back in July at the insistence of one of our readers (thanks for being so patient). We skipped that month since we were so busy ourselves. Quite a few buyers came out of the woodwork in July and we noticed it on one of our listings in San Carlos that had multiple offers. In our estimation, the Peninsula real estate market has not recovered significantly enough to warrant such activity but the low interest rates probably spurred people into action—all at once. At 24, July had the most sales and of any month this year.  The median price was also the highest it has been all year at $926,500. But just look at how many homes sold over a million dollars! There were some very large homes selling which definitely propped up the median price temporarily. ... 01/10/2010

Well it's another one of those tricky months where the numbers tell an inaccurate story when it comes to the value of Belmont homes. (Click on the graphic fo a full size view) MEDIAN HOME PRICE Looking at the raw numbers, the median home value in Belmont dropped from $912,500 last November to $784,000 this year. That's a whopping 14% decrease but wait-let's look at what really happened. This November Belmont had three short sales which greatly impacted the results. More importantly was that the majority of the homes sold were much smaller than they were last year. Larger homes sell for less per square foot (since land is a constant). Therefore if many smaller homes sell in a given period the price per square foot statistic will rise while the median home price will fall. Watch for this ... 12/12/2009

Belmont closed out the month of September with less than a stellar performance. There were 18 sales which is respectable--a couple more than last month--but still shy of even a normal market. Is this still a Buyer’s market? We think so.         (Click on thechart to see an enlarged version).   Look at the percent a seller receives of their asking price. Few homes are selling over the asking price and if they are it's usually because the home is deeply discounted in the first place. Another sign is the time a home languishes on the market, as expressed in Realtor speak as D.O.M. or Days on Market. Currently it stands at 45 days with six of the sales being listed for 3/4 of a year or more. One sale had to of broken the all time record when it finally closed after being on the market 700 d... 10/12/2009

It's easy to see the numbers for June are much better for sellers than they were in May. Almost all indicators are up signaling a stronger market for sellers in June as compared to last month. Looking at the same period over last year a similar pattern arises. Almost every indictor is in the seller's favor. More homes sold this June and at a faster rate. The percentage the seller received was a healthy 98% of their asking price. The month's inventory-the time it would take to sell all of the homes currently listed at the current pace of sales-has dropped to a healthy 3.1 months-far below the national average of over 10 months. Of course there's one nagging indicator which isn't easily seen, and certainly not reported by real estate groups or even the media. Although the median price is... 07/18/2009
