Real Estate Market Trends

If you're like a lot of other consumers, trite slogans and marketing come- ons aren't convincing. Especially when it comes to the most expensive investment you may ever make; numbers are far pithier.


Think about it -- which of these is of more value to you: “Now is the best time to buy or sell a house!” or “Real Estate Market Report for Yourtown, Yourstate?”


Not only is this section of ActiveRain chock full of up-to-date real estate market reports but market statistics and market trends as well. Best of all, they're written in plain English by the experts – those that actually work in these markets on a daily basis.

Discovery West Is A New Westside Bend Oregon Subdivision Discovery West is the latest subdivision in the NorthWest Crossing area of Bend's Westside. Developed west of Summit High School and with 40 acres of parks with miles of trails, the project offers a variety of housing options, ranging from apartments, town homes, cottages and single-family homes. Discovery West is being built under the "transect" concept of urban development in which the housing density decreases the further out people go from the urban core.

The past few years were quite uncertain when buying and selling real estate. Huge mortgage rates still primarily affected investment in rental properties or buying new homes, and the inflation didn't help either. As we are nearing the first quarter of 2024, things don't seem to be changing regarding economic uncertainties and shifting housing dynamics. So, lots of experts pose the question, "Will the rental market crash in 2024?" As we deeply dive into the trends and data from previous years and follow the forecasts for the upcoming period, we outline the general findings. So, if you are a property owner thinking about selling or renting your property or a property management company owner/employee eager to know what the future holds for the business, read on to find out what to expect....

We are into our Spring market in the real estate world.  In this episode I cover the most recent data in a year-over-year and month-over-month format so you can see how the market is trending.  We do have some headwinds as we get into our Spring market, including higher interest rates and higher home values.  Despite the impact this is having on affordability, the market is remaining stable.  This is mostly due to home buyers and sellers that are doing what they can to make things work for their needs.  In this episode, I also cover the most recent inflation data, mortgage interest rates and give an update on the real estate broker commission lawsuits and settlements that you’ve likely seen in the news.If you’re thinking of buying in this market, you might look at newly built homes, as ...

The recent NAR Settlement has opened new rules that shift the burden of who pays the buyer’s agent’s commission fee.  The Settlement resolved the litigation on behalf of the home sellers related to broker commissions. Under the current rules, Sellers have paid for the buyer’s agent commission. With that responsibility upended as of July, 2024 there will likely be more competition and innovation on the buyer side.  Real Estate agents forms will be updated by July 2024 and Realtors will be requiring an exclusive written buyer agreement signed by the buyer(s) BEFORE showing a buyer homes.  This agreement will display the services that an agent can provide and how they expect to be compensated once a purchase has been made. MLS participants working with buyers must enter into written agreem...

In March, Santa Cruz County's real estate market really picked up.  I am seeing more homes sell with multiple offers so far this year than last year.  Single-family homes reached a median sale price of $1,215,000.  Homes are selling quickly at a median of 15 days on the market.  Many homes are selling with more than one offers and for over the asking price. Key Market Indicators: Single-family homes in Santa Cruz County sold for an average of 101% of the listing price, signaling robust demand. The median sale price for single-family homes was $1,215,000. It kept rising, as seen in recent months. Properties are selling quickly. The median days on market (DOM) is 15 days. This suggests that listings are being snapped up rapidly. Inventory levels slightly increased, providing more options ...
