Your 2019 Guide to Buying a Home in Concord, CA

by Leave a Comment

Realtor.com recently published an article detailing the savings needed to buy a home in the 11 largest metropolitan areas in America. Cities like New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, Philadelphia, and San Francisco made the list.

The author’s then tabulated the average down payment for that metropolitan area. Then they broke down the down payment into a daily savings goal over both a 5-year and a 10-year period.

Not entirely surprisingly, San Francisco’s median home price was the highest at $954,000. The average down payment was $171,836.

A San Francisco home buyer would need to save approximately $94 per day to save up this amount in 5 years or $47 per day to save up in 10 years. Converting this to Starbucks lattes resulted in cutting out 26 lattes per day to save up enough for a down payment in a 5 year period.

Buying a Home in Dana Estates

Roughly the map of Dana Estates in Concord, CA.

Let’s do an analysis for single-family detached homes in the Dana Estates neighborhood in Concord.

In the past 6 months about 22 single family homes in the Dana Estates neighborhood have sold as of 8/19/2019. That isn’t counting homes currently on the market or in pending status.

The median listing price for homes was $622,000, with a median sale price of $634,000. Using 15% as an assumed down payment, a buyer would need to save $95,100.

Five Year Savings Plan

To save $95,100 for a down payment in Dana Estates in five years would require saving $52.08 per day. Simply cutting out 14 Grande Lattes per day at Starbucks.

Ten Year Savings Plan

To save the $95,100 in 10 years would require, a more manageable, $26.04 per day. Thus only cutting 7 Grande Lattes out of your diet. (Note: Your waist and your heart will thank you for this sacrifice.)

Buying a Home in Concord, CA

If we include condos, townhouses, duets, and other single-family homes to our analysis, what will a home buyer have to save in Concord, CA?

In the six months prior to August 19, 2019 there were 940 sales of single-family homes in Concord. The median sales price was $595,000. Assuming a 15% down payment, allows for a down payment of $89,250.

Concord Five Year Savings Plan

To save $89,250 for a down payment in Concord would require a daily savings goal of $48.80 for five years. On our Grande Latte scale that equates to 13.4 lattes per day removed from your diet.

Concord Ten Year Savings Plan

Over ten years the daily savings goal is decreased to $24.44 per day. The coffee habit would need to decrease by almost 6.7 lattes per day.

How to Save for a Down Payment?

While cutting out 14 lattes per day may not be possible, there are some unique loan programs that allow a buyer to purchase a home with a down payment of only 3.5% of the purchase price (FHA). A down payment of 3.5% equals $21,770 on the average Dana Estates home.

The Price Is (not quite) Right

by Leave a Comment

A recent study shows that newly listed homes get 3.4 times more online views than homes with a price drop. This evidence supports the advice I regularly give to home buyers: pricing your home accurately the first time is vital to its success on the market.

Many buyers use online platforms for property research, and every one of those sites uses the number of page views as a key performance indicator (KPI) of interested buyers. The study conducted above showed that a new home receiving 100 page views on the first day it is listed would decrease to 51 views on day two, 25 views on day seven, 17 views on day 30, and so on.

For a price change on the same home, the numbers are significantly lower. There would be 29 page views on day one, 18 page views on day two, 15 views on day seven, and leveling out to 13 views on day 30.

This shows that far fewer home buyers are interested in homes that have changed in price than they are in newly listed, well-priced homes.

Another factor in a buyer’s decision is the number of days a home has been on the market. The longer a home sits on the market, the more suspicious a buyer may be that something is wrong with it. Combine this with a lack of interested buyers, despite multiple price drops, and it could be nearly impossible to sell.

Bottom line: Price your house appropriately the first time.

Use current market data to determine your asking price, even if the data suggests a lower value. Resist the urge to price your home too high and you may see multiple buyers competing for the home rather than watching it sit on the market for months.

Staging Your Home: What’s It Worth?

by Leave a Comment

Home staging is useful to help buyers visualize a place as their future home, and agents think it attracts better offers. Here’s what REALTORS are saying about the cost and value of home staging.

1. Staging helps buyers visualize a home as their own

As stated by celebrity staging expert Meridith Baer in a Realtor.com interview:

In some ways, [home] staging is a lot like screenwriting in that you are telling a story. You are creating an environment in which home buyers want to be the star.”

Baer is right. A fully furnished home feels like, well, home. And the security of feeling at home is an essential part of the buyer’s motivation to write an offer.

2. Staged homes spend less time on the market

Over half of listing agents say that a staged home sells faster, according to the graphic above. Meridith Baer says staged homes sell 88% faster than nonstaged homes. The point is, staged homes are more attractive, and they motivate buyers to place an offer for reasons mentioned above.

3. Staged homes sell for more

As the graphic states, 44% of agents say a staged home is a more valuable home. And again, Meridith Baer says staged homes sell for 20% more than nonstaged homes–a margin that may not be quite so high for everyone. But even if staging a home brings in 5-10% more on an offer, it would be well worthwhile.

Either way, a home becomes more desirable if a buyer can immediately envision herself living there. This is reflected by her confidence in buying, her promptness in making an offer, and ultimately the price she is willing to pay.

Which one of the photos below looks like a more valuable home? We’d choose the one on the right.

As you likely guessed, they are the exact same room, before and after staging.

What’s the cost?

The cost of staging a home depends on the size of the home and the length of time the home needs to be staged. Realtor.com estimates home staging to cost $500 to $600 per room per month, plus a fee for an initial design consultation. For three bedrooms, a kitchen and a living room, this would cost $2,500 to $3,000 for a month of staging (plenty of time for a well-marketed home in California).

Imagine you have a 3-bedroom home in the Dana Estates neighborhood listed at $600,000. If a buyer offers 1% over asking price due to the ambiance of the staging, this would mean an offer of $606,000. With this in perspective, the $3,000 you spent staging the home would have been worth it, as you have now earned a $6,000 higher offer. Imagine if the staging brings in 5% over asking price–that is an additional $30,000!

Thinking of Selling?

Many real estate agents recommend home staging, but there may be other factors to consider when making this decision. If you have questions about getting your home ready to go on the market, please contact Peter below or via phone @ 925.385.8798.

Here are a sampling of some real estate articles that might be of use for buyers and sellers of real estate. 

We are definitely seeing the market change. The market is more balanced between buyers and sellers.

Buyers are getting their offers accepted and even being able to negotiate with sellers. If you have been sitting on the sidelines as a buyer, now is a good time to get in the market.

Why Does Housing Cost so much?

The San Francisco Business Times seeks to address why housing prices are so high in California.

California leads the nation in many categories from population to venture capital funding. Add lack of housing supply to the list.

The Golden State is under supplied by 3.4 million homes to meet its current housing needs, according to a report on housing underproduction from Up for Growth California, a nonprofit research and advocacy group. The national shortfall is 7.3 million homes, which means California makes up about half of that total.

More Supply in Bay Area Housing?

While I am not sure that supply is actually catching up to demand. There has been a lot of new construction around the Bay Area. 


After years of recording lagging supply, the Bay Area is possibly beginning to catch up. San Jose had the biggest increase in new listings of the 45 major US metropolitan areas included in a September 2018 realtor.com report. San Francisco also ranks among the five housing markets with the largest September supply gains, with 1,683 current listings.

Are We About to Enter a Buyers’ Market? | Dana Estates Real Estate

by Leave a Comment

Are We About to Enter a Buyers’ Market? 

The real estate market in Concord, California is still very active. Reasonable sellers are receiving offers quickly and buyer confidence remains strong. There are multiple price points and types of houses available in Concord, CA.

Particularly around the Dana Estates neighborhood 94519 zip code, homes are in demand. The neighborhood provides convenient access to Highway 4 and to downtown Concord. It is also about equal distance from both the Concord BART station and the North Concord BART station.

Purchasing a home is one of the largest financial decisions that a family can make. Because of the size of the transaction, there are many complicated decisions that surround the purchase of a home.

Today we are going to talk about: Are We About to Enter a Buyers’ Market?

Home sales are below last year’s levels, home values are appreciating at a slower pace, and there are reports showing purchasing demand softening. This has some thinking we may be entering a buyers’ market after sellers have had the upper hand for the past several years. Is this really happening?

The market has definitely softened. However, according to two chief economists in the industry, we are a long way from a market that totally favors the purchaser:

Dr. Svenja Gudell, Zillow Chief Economist:

“These seller challenges don’t indicate we’re suddenly in a buyers’ market – we don’t expect market conditions to shift decidedly in favor of buyers until 2020 or later. But buyers certainly are starting to balk at the rapid rise in prices and home values are starting to grow at a less frenetic pace.”

Danielle Hale, Chief Economist of realtor.com:

“The signs are pointing to a market that’s shifting toward buyers. But, in most places, we’re still a long way from a full reversal.”

In addition, Pulsenomics Inc. recently surveyed over one hundred economists, real estate experts, and investment & market strategists and asked this question:

“When do you expect U.S. housing market conditions to shift decidedly in favor of homebuyers?”

Only 5% said the market has already shifted. Here are the rest of the survey results:

Are We About to Enter a Buyers’ Market? | MyKCM

Bottom Line

The market is beginning to normalize but that doesn’t mean we will quickly shift to a market favoring the buyer. We believe Ivy Zelman, author of the well-respected ‘Z’ Report, best explained the current confusion:

“With the rate of home price appreciation starting to decelerate alongside the uptick in inventory…we expect significant debate about whether this is a bullish or bearish sign.

In our view, the short-term narrative will probably be confusing, but more sustainable growth and affordability will likely be the end result.”

House Prices: Simply a Matter of Supply & Demand

by Leave a Comment

Home Prices Low Inventory

As the largest city in Contra Costa County, there are many Concord homes for sale, particularly in the zip code 94519. Concord offers accessibility and a measure of affordability when compared to its pricier neighbors of Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek, and Clayton.

Neighborhoods within the 94519 zip code include:

  • Dana Estates
  • Monte Gardens
  • Holbrook Heights
  • Wren Avenue
  • El Monte
  • San Vincente

These Concord neighborhoods offer proximity to Todos Santos Plaza and the downtown Concord BART station. As well, they provide access via Willow Pass Rd. to Highway 4.

Today, let’s talk about: House Prices: Simply a Matter of Supply & Demand

Why are home prices still rising? It is a simple answer. There are more purchasers in the market right now than there are available homes for them to buy. This is an example of the theory of “supply and demand” which is defined as:

“the amount of a commodity, product, or service available and the desire of buyers for it, considered as factors regulating its price.”

When demand exceeds supply, prices go up. This is currently happening in the residential real estate market.

Here are the numbers for supply and demand as compared to last year for the last three months (March numbers are not yet available):

House Prices: Simply a Matter of Supply & Demand | Simplifying The Market

In each of the last three months, demand (buyer traffic) has increased as compared to last year while supply (number of available listings) has decreased. If this situation persists, home values will continue to increase.

Bottom Line

The reason home prices are still rising is because there are many purchasers looking to buy, but very few homeowners ready to sell. This imbalance is the reason prices will remain on the uptick.

Latest NAR Data Shows Now Is a Great Time to Sell!

by 1 Comment

As the largest city in Contra Costa County, there are many Concord homes for sale, particularly in the zip code 94519. Concord offers accessibility and a measure of affordability when compared to its pricier neighbors of Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek, and Clayton.

Neighborhoods within the 94519 zip code include:

  • Dana Estates
  • Monte Gardens
  • Holbrook Heights
  • Wren Avenue
  • El Monte
  • San Vincente

These Concord neighborhoods offer proximity to Todos Santos Plaza and the downtown Concord BART station. As well, they provide access via Willow Pass Rd. to Highway 4.

Today I would like to talk about: the latest NAR data and why it indicates that now is a good time to sell.

We all realize that the best time to sell anything is when demand for that item is high, and the supply of that item is limited. Two major reports released by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) revealed information that suggests that now is a great time to sell your house.

Let’s look at the data covered in the latest REALTORS® Confidence Index and Existing Home Sales Report.

REALTORS® CONFIDENCE INDEX

Every month, NAR surveys “over 50,000 real estate practitioners about their expectations for home sales, prices and market conditions.” This month, the index showed (again) that homebuying demand continued to outpace the supply of homes available in January.

The map below illustrates buyer demand broken down by state (the darker your state, the stronger demand there is).

Latest NAR Data Shows Now Is a Great Time to Sell! | MyKCM

In addition to revealing high demand, the index also shows that compared to conditions in the same month last year, seller traffic conditions were ‘weak’ in 22 states, ‘stable’ in 25 states, and ‘strong’ in only 4 states (Alaska, Nevada, North Dakota & Utah).

Takeaway: Demand for housing continues to be strong but supply is struggling to keep up, and this trend is likely to continue throughout 2018.

THE EXISTING HOME SALES REPORT

The most important data revealed in the report was not sales but was instead the inventory of homes for sale (supply). The report explained:

  • Total housing inventory rose 4.1% from December to 1.52 million homes available for sale.
  • Unsold inventory is 9.5% lower than a year ago, marking the 32nd consecutive month with year-over-year declines.
  • This represents a 3.4-month supply at the current sales pace.

According to Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at NAR:

“Another month of solid price gains underlines this ongoing trend of strong demand and weak supply. The underproduction of single-family homes over the last decade has played a predominant role in the current inventory crisis that is weighing on affordability.”

In real estate, there is a guideline that often applies; when there is less than a 6-month supply of inventory available, we are in a seller’s market and we will see appreciation. Between 6-7 months is a neutral market, where prices will increase at the rate of inflation. More than a 7-month supply means we are in a buyer’s market and should expect depreciation in home values.

As we mentioned before, there is currently a 3.4-month supply, and houses are going under contract fast. The Existing Home Sales Report shows that 43% of properties were on the market for less than a month when sold.

In January, properties sold nationally were typically on the market for 42 days. As Yun notes, this will continue unless more listings come to the market.

“While the good news is that Realtors in most areas are saying buyer traffic is even stronger than the beginning of last year, sales failed to follow course and far lagged last January’s pace. It’s very clear that too many markets right now are becoming less affordable and desperately need more new listings to calm the speedy price growth.”

Takeaway: Inventory of homes for sale is still well below the 6-month supply needed for a normal market and supply will ‘fail to catch up with demand’ if a ‘sizable’ supply does not enter the market.

Bottom Line

If you are going to sell, now may be the time to take advantage of the ready, willing, and able buyers that are still out searching for your house.

Bidding Wars Abound… How Long Will They Continue?

Bidding Wars Abound concord real estate

Bidding Wars Abound… How Long Will They Continue? | Concord Homes For Sale

As the largest city in Contra Costa County, there are many Concord homes for sale, particularly in the zip code 94519. Concord offers accessibility and a measure of affordability when compared to its pricier neighbors of Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek, and Clayton.

Neighborhoods within the 94519 zip code include:

  • Dana Estates
  • Monte Gardens
  • Holbrook Heights
  • Wren Avenue
  • El Monte
  • San Vincente

These Concord neighborhoods offer proximity to Todos Santos Plaza and the downtown Concord BART station. As well, they provide access via Willow Pass Rd. to Highway 4.

Today I would like to talk about: Bidding Wars and What they Mean to You Selling Your House

Just like with any product or service, the law of supply and demand impacts home prices. Any time that there is less supply than the market demands, prices increase.

In many areas of the country, the supply of homes for sale in the starter and trade-up home markets is so low that bidding wars have ensued, and the busy spring-buying season is just around the corner.

CoreLogic recently conducted an analysis on national home prices at the time of sale for their January 2018 MarketPulse Report and found that a third of homes sold for at least list price.

“The share selling above list price was almost three times the trough in January 2008 and represented more than one-fifth of total sales.”

Many markets in the western part of the country and around major cities are experiencing higher shares of homes selling above list price.

“San Francisco had the largest share of homes—76 percent—that sold for at least the list price, and Seattle and Los Angeles followed with 63 and 51 percent, respectively. Miami had the lowest share—16 percent—of homes selling at or above the list price.”

Increased demand during the spring and summer months, the traditionally busier seasons for real estate, will no doubt influence how many homes continue to sell over list price.

This should not be seen by sellers as permission to overprice their homes, though. Buyers are becoming more and more educated, especially those who have been searching for their dream homes for a while now while waiting for new inventory to come to market.

Realtor.com gives this advice:

“Aim to price your property at or just slightly below the going rate. Today’s buyers are highly informed, so if they sense they’re getting a deal, they’re likely to bid up a property that’s slightly underpriced, especially in areas with low inventory.”

Bottom Line

Without a large wave of new listings coming to market, buyers will continue competing with each other for the homes that are available. If you are thinking of selling your home, now may be the time to do so before more competition comes this spring. Let’s get together to determine the demand for your house in our area.

U.S. Housing Market Has Gained Back All $9 Trillion in Value Lost During Recession, but Uneven Recovery Means Some Markets Still Lag

SEATTLE, Jan. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — The U.S. housing market has gained back all $9 trillion in value it lost when the market collapsed, but the uneven nature of the crisis and subsequent recovery has left many housing markets trailing behind, while others surge further ahead.
