2006: Most Active Real Estate Foreclosure Markets

The foreclosure market is an attractive option for buyers wanting to invest in real estate. A foreclosed property is a mortgaged property that has been taken over by the lender due to non-payment of the mortgage. The lender then sells the property in order to recover the money, often at below market prices. Foreclosed homes, condos and other properties can for make brilliant investments and is a well loved choice for those entering the real estate market.

The October 2006 come forth of Business 2.0 Magazine ranks the top 10 foreclosure markets in the United States. Greeley in Colorado tops the list followed by Detroit in Michigan, Miami in Florida, Indianapolis in Indiana, Ft. Lauderdale in Florida, Denver in Colorado, Dayton in Ohio, Dallas and Fort Worth in Texas, and Atlanta in Georgia.

Greeley, CO, has the largest number of foreclosure households in the country, with 0.59% of homes diminishing in the category, an increase by 14.7% since January 2006. The report holds aggressive residential enhancement, risky underwriting practices and stagnant wages as the main causes.

Detroit, MI, stands next with 0.51% of the households in foreclosure. The naughtily performing auto diligence and the resulting impact to autoworkers’ incomes has contributed to number of homes in foreclosure in this city.

The fourth among the top ten foreclosure markets is Indianapolis, IN. Although the foreclosure rates are slightly lower from last year, still the part of households in foreclosure stands at 0.35%. Setbacks and layoffs in the city’s auto diligence together with diminishing home prices have contributed to foreclosure rates in this city.

Fort Lauderdale, FL, stands fifth with 0.34% of households entering foreclosure, which is up by a whopping 118.5% since January 2006.

Denver (with 0.33% of households in foreclosure), Dayton (with 0.33% of households in foreclosure), Dallas (with 0.31% of households in foreclosures), Fort Worth (with 0.31% of households in foreclosure) and Atlanta (with 0.31% of households in foreclosures) round out the top 10 foreclosure markets.

Coronado, San Diego, Real Estate Market Trends, Single-family Homes, Mid Year Breakdown, 2006

The community of Coronado is located on the inner coast of San Diego County. This 13.5 square mile peninsula is reachable via the legendary Coronado Bay Bridge, by water ferry from Downtown San Diego, or through Imperial Beach via highway 75.

The real estate and homes for sale in Coronado are some of the most pricey properties in San Diego County. The number of homes sold in a particular year is relatively low. For example, during the period from January through July 2006, approximately 64 single-family homes sold. Approximately 79 homes sold for the same period in 2005. The price of homes in Coronado varies widely from moderately priced small cottages to multi-million dollar estates.

One method to analyze pricing trends for a particular community is to evaluate the median and mean price of homes for a particular month, and compare that data against the same period last year. What follows is a comparison of the median price and mean price of homes for the past seven months (January through July 2006), compared against the data for the corresponding time period in 2005.

The median price of homes represents the point at which half the homes are above a particular price point, and half the homes are below a particular price point. The mean price of homes is calculated by adding up the sales price of all homes sold in a particular month, and dividing that value by the number of homes sold.

The median price of homes in July 2006 was ,505,000, compared to ,481,250 in July 2005, which represents a 1.6% increase. The mean price of homes in July 2006 was ,795,179, compared to ,603,214 in July 2005, which represents an 11.5% drop. Approximately 7 homes sold in July 2006 and 14 in July 2005. In summary, the data was mixed for July 2006, with the median price posting a small increase and the mean price dropping 11.5%.

The median price of homes in June 2006 was ,775,000, compared to ,570,000 in June 2005, which represents a 13.1% increase. The mean price of homes in June 2006 was ,998,860, compared to ,778,214 in June 2005, which represents a 12.4% increase. Approximately 15 homes sold in June 2006 and 21 in June 2005. In summary, the data provides evidence that there was an upward price trend in June 2006 compared to the same period last year.

The median price of homes in May 2006 was ,200,000, compared to ,390,000 in May 2005, which represents a 13.7% drop. The mean price of homes in May 2006 was ,576,429, compared to ,615,692 in May 2005, which represents a 2.4% drop. Approximately 7 homes sold in May 2006 and 13 in May 2005. In summary, the data provides evidence that there was a downward price trend in May 2006 compared to the same period last year.

The median price of homes in April 2006 was ,250,000, compared to ,450,000 in April 2005, which represents a 55.2% increase. The mean price of homes in April 2006 was ,667,200, compared to ,731,524 in April 2005, which represents a 54% increase. Approximately 10 homes sold in April 2006 and 7 in April 2005. In summary, the data provides evidence that there was a significant upward price trend in April 2006 compared to the same period last year.

The median price of homes in March 2006 was ,650,000, compared to ,780,000 in March 2005, which represents a 7.3% drop. The mean price of homes in March 2006 was ,219,667, compared to ,774,667 in March 2005, which represents a 25.1% increase. Approximately 15 homes sold in March 2006 and 9 in March 2005. In summary, the data was mixed for March 2006, with a drop in median price and an increase in mean price.

The median price of homes in February 2006 was ,185,000, compared to 5,000 in February 2005, which represents a 35.4% increase. The mean price of homes in February 2006 was ,327,000, compared to ,011,667 in February 2005, which represents a 31.2% increase. Approximately 5 homes sold in February 2006 and 3 in February 2005. In summary, the data provides evidence that there was an upward price trend in February 2006 compared to the same period last year.

The median price of homes was ,700,000 in January 2006, compared to ,531,500 in January 2005, which represents an 11% increase. The mean price of homes in January 2006 was ,599,000, compared to ,717,750 in January 2005, which represents a 6.9% drop. Approximately 5 homes sold in January 2006 and 12 in January 2005. In summary, the data was mixed for January 2006, with a jump in median price and a decline in mean price.

So what does the above data tell us? Overall, there was a 19% decline in the number of homes sold during this period from 2006 to 2005. Besides that, the Coronado real estate market is very hard to described because of the limited number of homes that sell each month, and the wide variation in home prices. The median and mean prices fluctuated substantially depending on whether or not very pricey homes sold that month or not. Prospective home buyers should seek the advise of an experienced real estate agent to help them know the micro pricing trends of homes in their price array.

2006: U.S. Cities With Overvalued Real Estate And Home Prices

Buying a home is a huge-time real estate investment and has to be done with fantastic prudence. Knowing where not to buy a home is as vital as are the dos and don’ts of buying a home.

Of the many top ten lists on CNNMoney.com, there is listed the top ten overvalued cities in America where it is better not to buy a home for the next two years or so. The report states a variety of reasons for the unfavorable market conditions.

Five cities in California – Bakersfield, Fresno, Merced, Sacramento and Stockton, figure among the top ten cities that have the least possibility of home price appreciation. Home prices have reached a new high (by near 60%) in these areas over the past two years. With an economy driven by agriculture and relatively higher unemployment rates anticipated for that area, the real estate market is predicted to slump in the region.

Although three cities in Florida are recommended as excellent real estate buys, the report also cites four others in Southwest Florida that fall among the very bottom of the list. With home prices here expected to plummet very soon, cities like Fort Myers, Naples, Punta Gorda and Sarasota are those that one would do best to avoid for a year’s time or so, even as buying a home or a condo.

Market prices are expected to decline in the Jersey Shore (New Jersey) area that saw a radical boom in the last two quarters. Although home prices in the third quarter have rebounded from the affront drop during the following quarter, the bubble is expected to burst soon and the overpriced market is likely to stabilize. The well loved seaside cities of New Jersey, Atlantic City and Ocean city are anticipated to fall under the unfavorable list.

In Phoenix, Arizona, a hot favorite among investors last year, sliding home prices may to be an unavoidable occurrence in the next 12 months. With home prices dropping by more than 0,000 in some residential developments and investors trying to sell off their property, it is safer to wait for a year or longer before investing here.

Economists at Morose’s Economy.com also predict a sharp decline in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, California’s Inland Empire.

The bottom ten cities that are likely to see major drops in median home prices during the coming year are Stockton, (leading the list with a predicted fall of 9.7%), Merced, Reno/Sparks, Fresno, Vallejo/Fairfield, Las Vegas, Bakersfield, Sacramento, Washington, D.C and Tucson.

Given these fluctuating real estate market conditions, one should exercise a fantastic deal of caution when investing in real estate. It makes sense to get the adept advice of a real estate agent to advise you about your next home hold, since agents often have access to the most up-to-date real estate market data and neighborhood pricing trends.

Inner San Diego Real Estate Market – Mid Year Snapshot Of Median Prices (2006) – Single Family Homes

Inner San Diego Real Estate Market – Mid Year Snapshot of Median Prices (2006) – Single Family Homes

As of this writing, the San Diego real estate markets appears to have shifted from one that favors sellers to one that favors buyers. But, this premise may not hold right for all communities within San Diego, as median prices for some communities continue to rise even as others fall.

Even as there are many metrics to evaluate the real estate pricing trends of a community, one commonly used parameter is to evaluate the median price of homes from one point in time against a prior point of time. The median price reflects the point at which half the homes are above a particular price point, and half the homes are below a particular price point.

The data below is a comparison of median prices for innumerable communities in inner San Diego County, comparing data from June 2005 against data for June 2006. This information is only one metric at a particular point in time, and other metrics or data from future months may support or dispute the pricing trends noted below.

ADVISORY

Homebuyers and home sellers should keep in mind that the data above is simply a snapshot in time, and is not conclusive of the pricing trends for any community. For some communities presented above, very few homes were sold during June 2006, which makes the use of the median price metric of limited value. The data must be evaluated over a longer duration, and involve multiple metrics to fully know enduring market trends. Contact your Realtor to take information about enduring market trends for any given community.
