This month’s keywords are Recession, Inflation, and Interest Rates. You can’t turn on the news or open a newspaper without hearing or reading these words in a headline. So what exactly does that mean for our housing market, and more specifically, the housing market in Southwest Riverside County? Economically speaking, we have entered our 2nd […]
Today is also Election Day, and I hope you exercised your right to vote. As I always say, you can’t complain if you don’t participate! Before we jump into the numbers, last month, I wrote that our National Chief Economist was optimistic that we were not headed into a recession mainly due to the strength […]
I have been anxiously waiting to see the numbers for April to see the impact of the increase in mortgage rates. While there was a slight dip in closed sales, and some cities saw a small decrease in transaction value, the region as a whole had another solid month. The median home price in Southwest […]
Our housing numbers continue to be strong. I want to highlight a few things. First, while you may see some decreases month over month in the number of units sold, median prices continue to increase across the region. This might be attributed to homes that have sold above $1,000,000 – 2 in Canyon Lake, 2 […]
2022 started off with a bang, and we’ve already been busy! Final maps of the new Federal and State Districts are out, and Southwest Riverside County has a lot to process. Many of the new lines have shifted across cities, and we even have an entirely new State Assembly District. While these maps don’t officially […]
I’d like to wish everyone a Happy New Year and welcome to 2022! I’d also like to congratulate all of our newly appointed City Mayors. We look forward to continuing to work together to keep housing a priority and a successful part of our local economy. 2021 ended with solid numbers for our area. We […]
As we near the end of 2021, housing market trends for our area continue in the same direction they have for the past few months. As I mentioned last month, we have a little over 2,000 units currently under construction and another 11,000+ in the pipeline. Those numbers, factored with the updated Housing Element numbers […]
This month’s report contains some new information that I have been working on and am excited to share with all of you. It’s no secret that housing inventory is extremely low and is a contributing factor to a robust seller’s market and a competitive buyer’s market. This report is based on resale homes, and our […]
I have made some formatting changes and added an additional city to the report. Other than the graphs at the end (which I try to keep more geographical), all city data is now listed alphabetically. I have added Winchester to the report, which includes the French Valley area (Zip Code 92596) and will hopefully help […]
As things begin to return to normal, we are seeing some changes in the housing market as well. It’s still competitive and a strong seller’s market, but we are noticing some adjustments worth highlighting. For the second straight month, inventory has increased month over month, yet is still down double digits from last year. Prices […]
