How long does it take to sell your Mission Valley home during a recession?

San Diego Homes for Sale MLS SearchIn a normal market and better economic times the standard time a property stays on the market is about 30-90 days.  Once the property enters into a real estate contract the average closing time is 30-45 days.  With these numbers in mind let's see what happened in Mission Valley from August 1st to 21st.

 

A total of 16 homes were sold during this period with an average time of 69 days on the market, 1 foreclosure and 4 short sales.

 

44 properties are in escrow and only 12 of them entered into a purchase contract this month.  The average time for these properties was 58 days on the market.

 

38 properties are contingent meaning they have an offer accepted waiting for lender's approval. The average market time is 148 days.  Keep in mind that a regular short sale takes about 6 months.

 

Currently there are a total of 103 Mission Valley homes for sale, 40 of them are distressed properties and 8 foreclosures.  29 properties were listed this month.

 

The listing price for the bank owned properties in Mission Valley are ranging from $113,900 to $399,999 with an average of 51 days active on the market.

 

As summer days come to an end we will be entering the slow season to buy or sell real estate and the average selling time will increase a little bit.  In this market economy takes more than usual to sell a house starting with the location, condition, price and advertising.  It is very important to know and understand the market conditions in your area.  A real estate professional can help you with the comparables of your home, sales strategy and what you need to do to make your home to stand out and sell it in the shortest period of time.

Why you should work with a Real Estate Agent?

Why you should hire a real estate agentWhen we need an advice on legal matters we look for an attorney, if our health has been affected we consult with the doctor or specialist, so why not hiring a professional to help us sell or buy a home? Why we should work with a Real Estate Agent when we all know "Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions we make in our lives"?

 

Recently the San Diego Union Tribune published an article about the role of a real estate agent: "The role your agent plays in providing you information, explanations, alternatives, and good counseling will be the basis for your decision".

 

A real estate agent has been trained to understand the legal process when buying or selling real estate.  Disclosures, property reports, deeds, escrow, title are just few of the legal factors related with a real estate transaction.

 

A professional real estate agent understands San Diego and Mission Valley Real Estate market conditions and will educate, inform and counsel their clients to help them make the best decision.  "The true value of an agent is their willingness to invest the time and effort to completely understand their client's objectives"

Building Permit Violations

San Diego Homes for SaleLet's have the following example: The current homeowners purchased their home in San Diego 8 months ago.  Now the city has notified them that the previous sellers (homeowners) had never obtained a permit for a room addition therefore they are in building permit violation situation.  The new owner must either pay the permit fees and bring the addition up to code, or tear down the room.

 

The homeowners turn to the title company that insured their San Diego Home.  The company denies the claim because it was not covered under their ALTA policy.  The owners didn't know that CLTA Title Policy protects the homeowner if forced to remove an existing structure that was built by prior owner without a valid buiding permit.

 

Depending on the title company chosen, CLTA Homeowners Title Policy provides up to $25,000 coverage after a small deductible.  CLTA Homeowners Title Policy offers greater security and peace of mind that any other policy available.

 

Count with our professionalism and experience when buying or selling real estate in San Diego and Mission Valley.
