Palos Verdes Real Estate Market Changes
Play video to see what’s happening in the market. You can click the charts to see larger, more readable versions and use the link below to get more insight into the Palos Verdes real estate market In every Palos Verdes home market except for Malaga Cove, the absorption of inventory has improved. The largest absorption improvement is found in the PVDS, Valmonte, Mira Catalina and La Cresta real estate markets. To dig a bit deeper into the numbers we really need to understand why the absorption numbers have improved so much in the last 12 months. Is it because demand (pending sale volume) has increased? Are there more buyers in the Palos Verdes home market? Or is it because supply (new listing volume) has dropped? Are there fewer sellers in the market? Or is it a combination of both factors. What we’re finding is that nearly for all Palos Verdes homes market areas, inventory, ie SUPPLY, has dropped immensely. And at the same time, in most of the markets, demand has increased. Some areas experienced decreases in demand (pending sale volume); however, in these areas, supplies dropped off by a greater percentage making a net result of an increase in the absorption patterns. Bottom line, the market is firming up, prices are gelling and while no one can predict the future, this positive change is a welcome one for the Palos Verdes real estate market.

Palos Verdes Real Estate Market Influenced By International Buyers
Do International Buyers effect the Palos Verdes Homes Market?Due to low prices and the relative weakness of the dollar, international buyers continue to identify the U.S. as a desirable place to own property and make a profitable investment. According to the National Association of REALTORS®’ 2012 Profile of International Home Buying Activity, total residential international sales in the U.S. for the past year ending March 2012 equaled $82.4 billion, up from $66.4 billion in 2011. Total international sales were evenly split between non-resident foreigners and recent immigrants. The survey asked REALTORS® to report their international business activity within the U.S. for the 12 months ending March 2012. “Today’s advantageous market conditions have drawn more and more foreign buyers to the U.S. in recent years, signaling how desirable and profitable owning property in this country can be,” said NAR President Moe Veissi, broker-owner of Veissi & Associates, Inc. in Miami, Fla. “Low housing prices, a good inventory condition and increased buying power with today’s exchange rates help attract international clients. Foreign buyers also have the advantage of working with a REALTOR®. REALTORS® who specialize in serving international clientele have a truly global perspective; they know what hurdles foreign buyers face when purchasing property in the U.S., and have the expertise and knowledge that comes from working with clients from different cultures and real estate practices.” International buyers bought homes throughout the country, but four states accounted for 51 percent of the purchases – Florida, California, Texas and Arizona. Florida has been the fastest growing destination of choice, accounting for 26 percent of foreign purchases. California was second with 11 percent and Texas and Arizona accounted for seven percent. Proximity to the home country, the presence of relatives and friends, the convenience of air transportation, and climate and location are all important considerations to prospective foreign buyers. Locations on the East Coast generally attract European buyers, while Asian buyers tend to purchase on the West Coast, particularly California. Florida attracts a diverse set of international buyers including South Americans, Europeans and Canadians. Meanwhile, Texas remains popular among Mexican buyers. Within markets in an individual state, it is not unusual to find concentrations of people grouped by nationality. “Foreign buyers recognize that owning a home in the U.S. has many benefits, both financial and social,” said Veissi. “Many purchase property as an investment, vacation home, or to diversify their portfolio. In addition, many recent immigrants view homeownership as an important accomplishment. They believe that being a homeowner is one of many ways they become established in the U.S. and attain stability, security, and a sense of community.” International buyers came from all over the globe, but Canada, China (The People’s Republic of China including Hong Kong), Mexico, India, and the United Kingdom accounted for 55 percent of all international transactions (continue below to see local Palos Verdes Homes results), according to the survey. Canada and China remain the fastest-growing home countries. Canada accounted for 24 percent of international sales while China accounted for 11 percent, up from nine percent in 2011. Mexico was third with eight percent of sales and India and the U.K. both accounted for six percent. Forty-five percent of international purchases were under $250,000. In addition, there appears to be a gradual increasing trend toward purchases in the $250,000 to $500,000 price range. In 2012 this range accounted for 30 percent of purchases, up from 28 percent in 2011. The average price paid by an international buyer was $400,000 compared to the overall U.S. average of $212,000. Several reasons account for why the average international home price is higher than the average overall price. The international client is typically wealthier than the domestic buyer and is looking for a property in a specialized niche, for example, a larger property suitable for multi-generational living, or a property that establishes the individual’s presence and standing in the community. Many homes purchased by foreign buyers are used as a primary residence. Vacation and rental use are also major reasons for a purchase. More than half – 66 percent – of survey respondents reported international buyers purchased detached single-family homes. About half of international buyers, 52 percent, preferred to buy in a suburban area and about a quarter, 23 percent, bought in a central city/urban area. Sixty-two percent of international purchases were all cash, which has increased since 2007. International buyers still experience many financing challenges when purchasing a home in the U.S. In fact, among transactions that failed, REALTORS® reported that in 26 percent of the cases financing issues were the problem. The difficulties facing foreign buyers in trying to obtain a mortgage include lack of U.S.-based credit history and hurdles in meeting mortgage requirements. Other reasons for not purchasing properties were cost/taxes/insurance and immigration laws. Twenty-seven percent of REALTORS® reported having worked with international clients this year. Fifty-two percent of REALTORS® reported that international transactions accounted for one to 10 percent of their total transactions, while 27 percent reported that they made up more than 10 percent of total transactions. REALTORS® specialization on the buyer’s side of the market – such as foreign language capabilities, cultural affinity or orientation with the prospective purchaser and experience in explaining the U.S. real estate – appear to be important in working with foreign buyers. So when it comes to Palos Verdes real estate, is there a way to track international buyers? In fact there is*; reviewing the websites where I’ve recently promoted and sold one of my clients homes, I discovered the following … *If your Realtor does not know how to do this, you’re missing a big part of successfully getting your home marketed to sale. You’re welcome to contact me for more information I’m finding that most popular are the Palos Verdes Homes with Ocean Views … like this one… However, no matter what type of home you have, contact me to get (1) an objective opinion on what the market is likely to pay for your home AND (2) get more ideas on how to best get your home marketed (such as marketing to the international buyers) for top dollar in an efficient time period.

Whale Watching from Palos Verdes Real Estate
Gray Whale Season Underway“Gray whales are beginning travels along the Southern California coast now as they make one of the longest mammalian migrations known to man. The journey from the Bering and Chukchi seas to the lagoons in Baja California and back averages between 10,000 to 14,000 miles. “We have been seeing more and more gray whales every day,” reported Scott Louie from Harbor Breeze Cruises in Long Beach. “Add in literally thousands of dolphins and an occasional orca sighting and this is a terrific time to be on a whale watching trip.”” To read the rest of this article written by Philip Friedman at Patch.com, go here http://santamonica.patch.com/articles/gray-whale-season-underway-d72fb665 |
