Current Home Trends in Eugene/Springfield

Monday, November 7, 2011
by Galand Haas
VideoVideo

Good Monday Morning!

First time home buyers continue to make up the majority of home sales in the Eugene and Springfield area.  Affordable homes in the price ranges below $200,000 are continuing to be the most desireable homes on the market.  This is also where we are seeing the lowest inventory numbers at this time.  Also many homes in this price range are distressed properties, which means they are either bank foreclosures or short sales.  Most likely the demand for these homes will continue strong in the future as well and inventiries may also remain low.  

Have An Awesome Week!

Monday Morning Coffee

Monday, October 17, 2011
by Galand Haas

Good Monday Morning!

It looks like Indian Summer is taking hold this week in the Eugene and Springfield area.  This is one of the greatest rewards of living here.

The statistics are in for home sales in the Eugene and Springfield market area for the month of September.  Closed sales were up by 9.3% over September of 2010, while pending sales were down by 3.7% for the same time period.  New listings declined over September of 2010 by 18.7%.  Comparing September of this year to August of this year, closed sales fell 5.5% and pending sales dropped by 30.1%.  New listing were also off by 22%.  There is currently 7.7 months of home inventory on the market, which is 2.7 months less than September of 2010.  The average sales price is $208,300, which is down by over $10,000 from September of 2010.  The average time it took a home to sell was 132 days.

As you can see we have had several months of declining home inventory.  This means that for anyone trying to sell a home the competition level is declining.  My strong suggestion is that if you have a home that you are going to sell, get it on the market now and take advantage of this lower level of competition.  Chances are that it will be short lived.  Forget about the waiting until Spring notion. Inventories of homes for sale will be higher and prices will be lower.

Have An Awesome Week!

Foreclosures in Lane County

Monday, September 26, 2011
by Galand Haas
VideoVideo

Good Monday Morning!

Recently, the number of homes going through foreclosure in the Lane County area shot through the roof.  There were over 300 foreclosure properties that went to auction within one week last month.  This is well above the number that we had been seeing on a monthly basis.  What this means is that in the near future we are going to see the number of bank owned properties on the market for sale skyrocket.  This will put pressure on inventories, home prices and most likely make it harder for non-forclosure properties to sell.  The positive side of this is that there will be some very good purchase opportunities out there on many of these properties once they hit the market.

Will National Housing Market Conditions Improve?

Monday, September 12, 2011
by Galand Haas

Good Monday Morning!

It looks like we will finally be getting some relief from the smoke and haze that has lingered around the Eugene and Springfield area from the nearby forest fires.  Marine air coming in will give us some much needed fresh air early this week.

Are conditions with the national housing market going to improve?  This is a question that I am asked all too frequently.  The answer really is complicated as the national housing market woes stem from many different sources.  Any major improvement in the housing market will come as a result of new jobs being created.  Until this happens don't look for any major shifts.  The other factor that is currently having a very negative effect on national housing is consumer confidence.  Until the confidence of buyers returns the housing market will remain in limbo and could even decline further.  It's a double edge sword, because the economy needs the housing industry to pick up steam for job creation and the housing industry needs jobs and consumer confidence to improve so that people will begin purchasing homes again.  Time will tell.

Freddie Mac survey

Monday, August 29, 2011
by Galand Haas

Freddie Mac released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey (PMMS) today. The study showed that mortgage rates moved higher from the previous week's record lows as Treasury bond yields also moved higher and other housing data showed some signs of improvement. However, the 5-year ARM did decline to 3.07 percent thereby setting a new all-time record low.

Mortgage rates have been following this trend of up slightly, down slightly for months.  Don't look for any large changes soon as the Fed has committed to keeping rates low for near future anyway.  

The affordability factor for a home purchase is going to remain fantastic as home prices continue to trend downwards in the Eugene and Springfield market and mortgage interest rates remain at or near historic low levels.

Have An Awesome Week!

Real Estate Update

Monday, August 15, 2011
by Galand Haas

Good Monday Morning!

Without a doubt the home market here in the Eugene and Springfield area just continues to improve for those who wish to upgrade or move to a more expensive or larger home.  With home prices continuing to decline the percentage of decrease in value typically is higher with more expensive homes.  This means that if you are a move up buyer, you will typically have lost less on the value of your home than the one you are purchasing.  It makes sense that if you are wanting to upgrade that you strongly consider making your move now.  As our local Real Estate market changes and begins to level off and home prices even begin to rise again, you will be very happy that you made this move when you did.  To add to the attractiveness of taking this action now is the fact that mortgage interest rates remain at historic low levels.  This makes for a move up potential that you may never see again.

Have An Awesome Week!
