Packing a market punch in Sacramento

July 15, 2015 By Ryan Lundquist 8 Comments

It’s easy to say things like, “The market is on fire” or “Buyers are hungry out there”. Yet I find vague statements don’t pack much of a punch. It’s far more powerful when we get specific. For instance, did you know sales volume is up almost 10% this year so far? Or FHA buyers were 28% of all sales this past quarter in Sacramento County? Those stats carry some weight and bring me pause.

Goal of the Big Monthly Post: The goal of this big market update is to help highlight what the market is doing and help us describe it a bit better. If you’re local, absorb what is here and share some of the talking points below with your contacts. If you’re out of town, I’d love to hear about your market also. Email subscribers, I recommend reading this post on the blog instead of email.

Two ways to read this post:

  1. Scan the talking points and graphs quickly.
  2. Grab a cup of coffee and spend a few minutes digesting what is here.

One Paragraph to Describe the Sacramento Market: The first half of 2015 is now over, and all year buyers have expressed a huge appetite for the market. Sales volume is up about 10% in the region, and pendings have routinely been 20%+ higher each month this whole year. Sales volume in June was actually higher than it’s been in about three years. More sales has led to inventory declining, though it’s important to note more listings have definitely been hitting the market (and there have been more price reductions too). While many properties are generating multiple offers and selling very quickly, buyers are also finicky about pulling the trigger on anything that is not well-priced or with an adverse location or condition. Some sellers are severely overpricing their homes too. The median price stayed about the same last month compared to the previous month. One of the biggest factors shaping this market is the power of FHA buyers who now represent 23% of all sales in 2015 in the Sacramento region (and 27.5% of all sales last month in Sacramento County). The byproduct of more FHA buyers is stiff competition at the lower end and higher offers too (this makes overall housing stats look more impressive). As housing inventory presumably begins to increase over the next few months (as it did last year), watch out for price reductions, unrealistic expectations from sellers, and buyers gaining more power.

5 trends to watch in Sacramento’s flattening real estate market

September 16, 2014 By Ryan Lundquist Leave a Comment

Let’s take a wider view of real estate today. I shared by big monthly post last week about Sacramento County, but what is regional market doing when we consider multiple counties surrounding Sacramento? Let’s look at five quick trends below.

Taking a wide view of real estate - image purchased by sacramento appraisal blog

Two ways to read this post:

  1. Briefly scan the 5 talking points and graphs below in 1 minute.
  2. Take a few minutes to digest the graphs and commentary.

Enjoy and let me know what you think.

free market trend graphs from sacramento appraisal blog

THE SACRAMENTO REGION:

1) Prices have been flat for 4 months:

median price sacramento placer yolo el dorado county

The median price has been the same for four months in the Sacramento Region, which is why so many in the real estate community have been talking about a flat market. As you can see on the graph, values cool off when inventory increases.

But Trendgraphix says… Trendgraphix shows the median price increased over the past few months from $310,000 to $315,000 for the Sacramento Region, but they seem to have pulled their sales data too early. When running stats in MLS for the past four months, the median price is clearly stable at $310,000 for each respective month. This is not to bash Trendgraphix at all because I am an enormous fan of their work. I only wanted to point out the importance of waiting long enough to publish stats, and how publishing even a few days too early can make a big difference.

2) Inventory is steadily increasing in the Sacramento Region:

months of housing inventory in region by sacramento appraisal blog

Housing inventory has been increasing and is helping fuel a greater sense of confidence among buyers (they’ve become more picky too), as well as many price reductions. Housing inventory increased from 2.50 months to 2.64 months over the course of the past month. Inventory is still not very high, but many sellers seem to have an unrealistic mindset about what their properties are worth, which is only leading to inevitable price reductions. Moreover, we are seeing weaker demand than in years past in light of less cash investors playing the market. My advice? Consider pricing according to the most recent competitive listings, that is, ones that are actually getting into contract (as opposed to the highest sale in the neighborhood three months ago).

number of listings in Placer  Yolo El Dorado Sacramento - by home appraiser blog

The graph above is a slightly different way to look at inventory. As you can see, the bulk of listings are between 200-400K, but there are quite a few from 400-750K too. Remember, not every price range, neighborhood, or property type is experiencing the same exact trend.

3) It took 2 days longer to sell a home last month:

days on market in placer sac el dorado yolo county by sacramento appraisal blog

In July it took three days longer to sell a home, and last month it took days longer. When days on market increases, it’s a sign the market is slowing down. Yet at the same time this is a very normal trend because the hot buying season does fade away as summer closes. Generally speaking, the higher the price, the longer it is taking to sell.

4) Sales volume is down 10% in 2014 compared to 2013:

SALES volume in sacramento region - by home appraiser blog

number of listings in Placer Sacramento Yolo El Dorado county - July 2014 - by home appraiser blog

Sales volume is down by slightly more than 10% this year compared to last year, and less sales is definitely one of the factors helping to cool the housing market. Less sales has led to increased inventory and a transfer of power from sellers to buyers.

5) Cash is down by 37% this year in the Sacramento Region:

cash sales and volume in sacramento region - by home appraiser blog

I mentioned already that the sales volume is down by 10%, but the X-factor for lower volume is really less cash sales. There have only been about 50 more non-cash sales in 2014 compared to 2013, but almost 2000 less cash sales this year. Having this many fewer sales has made certain months in the year feel sluggish, and it’s certainly contributed to the flattening trend we’ve seen over the past several months.

BONUS MATERIAL: PLACER COUNTY

Placer County median price and inventory - by home appraiser blog

median price in placer county and sacramento county by sacramento appraisal blog

Uptick, but still flat in Placer County: Placer County saw an uptick in median price last month, but it’s not really anything to write home about. One month of data does not mean the market is now increasing after being flat. Moreover, when talking with real estate agents, Placer County is very similar to Sacramento County in that the market is very price sensitive. If it’s not priced right, it’s going to sit.

Placer County housing inventory - by home appraiser blog

months of housing inventory in placer county by sacramento appraisal blog

Inventory in Placer County increased last month: Monthly inventory saw an increase last month from 2.72 months to 2.91 months. This effectively means there are 2.91 months worth of houses for sale in Placer County right now. Generally speaking, the higher the price, the more inventory there is.

days on market in placer county by sacramento appraisal blogIt’s taking two days longer to sell compared to last month: On average it is taking 47 days to sell a home in Placer County compared with 45 days last month. For context it is taking 40 days in Sacramento County and 42 days in the entire region. There were only 2 sales under $100,000, so disregard the 97 days listed above.

Placer County sales volume - by sacramento appraisal blog

Sales volume was fairly similar to last month: Sales volume was similar to last month, and is overall approaching more normal levels (though volume is still down slightly from 2013).

The real estate train is slowing down in Sacramento

August 12, 2014 By Ryan Lundquist 4 Comments

Slow. Flat. Price sensitive. Competitive if priced correctly. These are words that describe the Sacramento real estate market. Some consumers may not be in tune with this reality because last they heard the market was “on fire”, but those in the trenches of the industry know the real estate train is slowing down. Let’s take a look at ten quick talking points to help explain how the market is unfolding and why it is moving the way it is. I hope this is helpful for you and your clients.

Two ways to read this post:

  1. Scan the highlighted text and graphs quickly.
  2. Grab a cup of coffee and spend a few minutes digesting what is here.

free graphs from sacramento appraisal blog

1)  The median price has been the same for three months in a row:

median price and inventory since 2013 - by sacramento appraisal blog

The market saw a normal seasonal uptick for the spring of 2014, but the median price has been flat now at $270,000 for three months in a row. Keep in mind that not every neighborhood and price segment in Sacramento are experiencing the same flat trend as shown above, though charts for surrounding counties do have a similar flatness. Remember too that real estate markets are constantly changing, so it’s not a surprise to see the market has been flat – especially as summer begins to fade away.

price metrics in sacramento county

In the midst of a flat median price and average price per sq ft, the average sales price did see an uptick last month. If we were to isolate the average sales price, we’d say the market is increasing in value, but this is why it’s important to look at more than one metric. What are all the metrics saying together?

2) The number of listings is increasing (so are price reductions):

Active listings in Sacramento County by sacramento appraisal blog

number of listings in sacramento - July 2014 - by home appraiser blog

There were 8% more listings that hit the market in July. It’s normal to see more listings during the spring and summer, yet what is happening with these listings is the real story. Over the past two months in particular there have been increasingly more price reductions, which shows many properties are simply overpriced and that the market is getting soft. If inventory continues to increase, this trend of price reductions will likely persist since sellers will need to compete for a limited pool of buyers. This is important news for sellers because it underscores the need to price properties correctly. At the same time this is welcome news for buyers since they can be slightly more selective.

3) Inventory increased again last month and is now at 2.2 months:

inventory in sacramento county - by sacramento appraisal blog

Inventory increased again this past month and is now at 2.23 months of housing supply, which is about where it was when the market bottomed out in early 2012. This essentially means there are 2.23 months worth of houses for sale based on how many sales there were last month.

months of housing inventory by sacramento appraisal blog

number of listings in sacramento - by home appraiser blog

Inventory is increasing, and that is causing the market to slow down, but inventory is ultimately still fairly low. It is still a sellers’ market, but buyers are very noticeably gaining power. As you can see above, inventory is not the same at each price level. Generally speaking, the higher the price, the more houses there are for sale.

4) Sales volume is down 8% from last year but up from last month:

sales volume in Sacramento County since 2008sales volume in Sacramento County

Sales volume in July 2014 is down 8% from July 2013. When looking at the past 90 days in 2014 compared to the same time last year, volume is down by 10%. In the Sacramento region, sales volume is about 11% lower. However, the good news is that sales volume increased from last month to this month, and has been increasing all year mostly (after a couple of very slow months to begin the year).

5) FHA sales were 25% of all sales in Sacramento County last month:

FHA and cash sales since 2009 in Sacramento County by sacramento appraisal blog

FHA and cash sales under 200K in Sacramento County by sacramento appraisal blog

FHA has been making quite the comeback over the past year and has been filling some of the gap left by cash investors exiting the market. In fact, FHA sales represented 25% of all sales in Sacramento County last month and 32% of all sales under $200,000. We have not seen FHA percentages this high since 2012. Keep in mind FHA sales used to be 30% of all sales in Sacramento County between 2009 and 2011, so there is a precedent for FHA buyers being able to absorb even more of the market. As the market inches toward a buyers’ market, be sure you are familiar with FHA minimum property requirements.

6) There have been 40% less cash purchases in 2014 compared with 2013:

cash sales and volume in sacramento county - by home appraiser blog - Copy

Cash sales since 2009 in Sacramento County by sacramento appraisal blog

Cash investors drove the market for quite some time until they began to pull back just over one year ago. In fact, there have been about 40% less cash sales so far in 2014 compared to the same time period last year. When investors stopped buying it created a gap of sales, and over the past year the market has been trying to figure out how to respond to this gap. In other words, if we added in the number of extra cash sales from last year to this year’s total sales volume, we’d have a very similar number for both years. Remember, if cash volume was still as high as it was last year, inventory would be incredibly low, and the market would feel much like it did in early 2013.

7) It’s taking 37 days on average to sell a house:

CDOM in Sacramento County - by Sacramento Appraisal Blog

On average it’s taking 37 days to sell a house in Sacramento County and 40 days in the Sacramento Region. Last month it was taking 35 days to sell a home in Sacramento County. When a property is priced correctly it will sell very quickly and even have multiple offers, but an overpriced property is going to sit on the market. Generally speaking, the higher the price, the longer it takes to sell. For further context, it was taking almost 90 days to sell a house just a few years ago.

8) Interest rates are hovering in the 4% range:

interest rates by sacramento appraisal blog since 2008

interest rates by sacramento appraisal blog

Interest rates took a very slight dip last month, and they’ve been hovering in the lower 4s all year. What happens with interest rates will impact affordability for buyers over the long haul, but very minor changes probably won’t impact the market like increases in housing inventory will. The Fed hasn’t given any indication they will raise rates aggressively since they know how fragile the housing market is these days. Remember that one of the reasons why values increased so rapidly these past two years was because interest rates went below 4% for the first time ever. You can see in the graph above how the Fed deliberately lowered rates when the recession hit in 2008.

9) Today’s market is being driven by other factors compared to 2013:

layers of the market since 2011 sacramento county - by sacramento appraisal blog

layers of the market sacramento county - by sacramento appraisal blog

layers of the market sacramento county since 2001 - by sacramento appraisal blog

Part of being in tune with real estate or becoming a local expert (for agents and appraisers) is being able to explain how the market is moving and why the market is moving. The real estate market has many “layers” that impact value, and the key factors that were driving the market in early 2013 were cash investors, interest rates in the 3s, and a housing supply of less than one month. Now the “layers” of the market have shifted where inventory is over 2.2 months, interest rates are in the 4s, cash is now at a normal level (about 20% of sales), and the local economy is bound to be a bigger player in shaping the real estate market. While our economy seems to be slowly improving, it’s still not easy to get a job.

Median price & unemployment in Sacramento County since 2008

The unemployment rate in Sacramento County and California have both been declining, but take the jobless rate with a grain of salt when you see it on graphs like the ones above. An improving job market does help real estate values, and it’s important to watch over time, but since there are essentially less people participating in today’s job market, it’s only natural to see unemployment decline.

10) The median price is 32% lower from the peak in 2005:

context for median price since the real estate bubble by sacramento appraisal blog

Lastly, in case you needed some market trivia to impress your friends or you’re playing a game of real estate Jeopardy, the current median price in Sacramento County is about 32% lower than the peak in 2005. At times the real estate community is fixated on comparing current values with the previous peak of the market, and sometimes we even hear conversations about values getting back to those levels. But let’s remember how unaffordable and unsustainable that market was at the time. At the same time there is surely value in knowing the peak of the market and how far we’ve come since then, but ultimately what the house is worth right now is probably more valuable for current sellers and buyers.

Summary: After a typical seasonal uptick during the spring, the market has definitely changed over the past few months and is showing clear signs of slowing down. We are seeing this change show up with properties taking longer to sell, a flat median price, an increase of price reductions, higher inventory, more credits from sellers to buyers, and generally buyers starting to feel like they have more power to negotiate. The market is still competitive because inventory is still low, but it is extremely price sensitive, which is seen with buyers being more picky. Keep in mind it is fairly normal to see the market slow down as summer fades away, though the slowness seemed to slow up a bit sooner than usual this year, which means it will be interesting to see how this trend unfolds in coming months.

5 things that are increasing in the Sacramento real estate market

September 17, 2013 By Ryan Lundquist 3 Comments

Real estate markets constantly change, so it’s important to watch them closely so we can adjust our business plan or prepare clients for what is happening or is coming. Here are 5 things that are increasing right now in the Sacramento market. Any thoughts or further insight? I’d love to hear your take in the comments below.

  1. Image purchased at 123rf dot com and used with permission - 14688774_s - smallerOpportunity: Buyers are gaining power since housing inventory has been increasing. More homes for sale has led to a slightly longer marketing period too, which also helps buyers have a greater selection as well as more power to negotiate. The local market had only one month of housing supply for a long stretch, but is now up to two months. The difference between only one month of housing supply and close to two months has been striking.
  2. FHA Uptick: If you didn’t know, FHA loans have seen a 3% increase over the past 75 days in Sacramento County. The increase has been 6% under $200,000 for the same time period.
  3. The Price is Right: We are in a market where sellers really need to price their properties correctly. For the most part it seems like sellers are starting to get in tune with the market beginning to shift (though certainly not always). It’s crucial to be “in the market” rather than “on the market” like Jay Papasan says.
  4. Real estate insight - image by Sacramento Appraisal BlogMore Owner Occupants: Having less cash purchases has helped create more opportunity for owner occupants to purchase in starter neighborhoods. There has been an 8% decline in cash purchases in Sacramento County over the past several months compared to the previous quarter (and a 10% decline when looking at all sales under $200,000).
  5. The Return of Closing Costs: As a real estate market gets more competitive it is common to see buyers begin to request a little something back from the sellers to help cover closing costs (particularly at the lower end of the sales spectrum). Requests for closing costs disappeared or felt irrelevant for quite a while when the market was insanely hot, but they will slowly creep back as the market “normalizes”. In fact, I have already been seeing quite a few requests for credits or closing costs in FHA deals and lower-end flipped properties.
