Homebuyers and Sellers, do you know what’s going on in the Real Estate world? Let’s take a look at the California Housing Market Report and see what’s going on with the numbers!
Hi, I’m Tanja Odzak, eXp Realty, and I help people sell and buy homes here in the East Bay.
According to Redfin’s data available for October 2023, California single family home closed sales are down 7.1% from last year. However, home prices are up 7.0% compared to October last year, and selling for a median sales price of $799,500. So you can see, even though inventory has been low, closed sales data shows home prices continued on an upward trajectory through October. The national average 30-year fixed mortgage rate is at 7.53% and the average days on market for a home to go pending was 30 days. Across the state, the number of homes for sale is down 18.6% from last year and we are currently at a 2-month supply, meaning we are still in a seller’s market. Statewide, closed sales data shows a strong buyer demand for housing with 44.5% of homes selling above list price.
While home prices were up for California, the California Association of Realtors President Jennifer Branchini said, “A sizable jump in interest rates kept home sales constrained in October and will likely hamper home sales for the remainder of the year… Despite rates remaining elevated, many other factors have swung in favor of buyers recently including more properties staying on the market longer before selling and fewer homes selling over list price…”. It will be interesting to see what data comes out from that, given that the last time rates were that high was almost 23 years ago.
