Let's Make a (Multi Million Dollar) Deal
A recent San Francisco Chronicle article recognized an increase in default notices in the Bay Areas’ high end markets – noticeably missing from the list: any of San Francisco’s most expensive zip codes. A quick look at foreclosure stats on this chart show only a few foreclosures per high end neighborhood for Q2 2009, and some of those rates were lower than their stats the same period of 2008.
The good news for buyers is that there is an overabundance of high end properties on the market, a total of 20 exquisite homes on the north side of the City ranging from $4.1 Million up to $65 Million. Although 45% of these properties have had at least one price reduction since they first appeared on the market, sellers still appear unrealistic about what buyers are willing to pay in the current climate. With a combined average of 225 days on the market, some sellers may be growing weary of the selling process, which, combined with the continuation of low interest rates while 2009 coming to a close, makes this an opportune time to aggressively negotiate a great deal on a high-end home.

Nobody Left California in 2007, Either.
The company report on moves across the nation in 2007 stated that North Carolina was the top state for inbound residents for the second year in a row. Nevada also kept its second place slot. The top states for inbound traffic were in the South and the West, the company reports, including Alabama, South Carolina, West Virginia, Oregon, Arizona and Wyoming. Biggest population loser? Detroit, Michigan.
California saw its lowest annual exodus of residents for the 5th straight year. Considering the recent mortgage crisis, record sales declines, and high foreclosure rates in various communities throughout the state, it seems that quite a few people are still staying put.
Interestingly, today the San Francisco Chronicle also released details from the Census Bureau’s 2007 report on how Americans have moved, and noted that Texas (Houston, Dallas, Austin & San Antonio) and Georgia (Atlanta) were the top two states for incoming residents. Both the Chron and United Vanlines reports confirmed that the Southern and Western regions saw the biggest jump in population.
And a bright note… also coming from both reports: New Orleans saw its first year of increased inbound migration since Hurricane Katrina.
