Ruby Hill homes sell well in 2013

Happy 2014.
If last year's pricing trend continues, this should be a good year for Ruby Hill home sellers. There were 4 active homes on the market at year end, all priced over $2million. Fresh inventory should begin to appear as the new year progresses.
There were 5 pending homes at year's end - a reflection of limited inventory at this time and slower buyer demand during this holiday month. Two homes went pending in December.
A total of 69 homes changed hands in 2013 - a very healthy market for Ruby Hill. Prices have been increasing through the year- starting around the mid $300s psf to the $400s psf. The average price per square foot of the sold homes was $384 for the year. The average DOM for the sold homes was just 29 days. Compare this to 62 homes  sold in 2012 at $340 psf - over 10% increase in the psf price in 2013 .

Foreclosures in Pleasanton, Ca



Foreclosures in Pleasanton: 

There were 7 NODs (Notice of Default) filed in March this year as compared to 22 last year –the improvement in home values is definitely contributing to fewer homeowner defaults. NOSs (Notices of Sale) were down to 8 from 12 in the previous month. 

The trend in Pleasanton pre-foreclosure properties (40), bank owned (32) and those scheduled for sale (49) continued downward.
 
Wrap-up

Pleasanton inventories remained slow and prices have increased sharply as compared to the same time last year with the average sold price up by almost 30%. It is encouraging to see very healthy activity in the higher end home sales also. The stock market continues to set new records surpassing the 15,000 mark. Hiring beat expectations for March and if this trend continues, home prices should continue to increase if interest rates remain low. Inventory might begin to pick up once builders ramp up on new home production in response to increased buyer confidence. The numbers of short sales and foreclosures are becoming negligible for now

Foreclosure homes in Pleasanton for period ending February 2013


There were 6 NODs (Notice of Default)filed in February this year as compared to 26 last year – a dramatic decline as homeowners find themselves in a healthier equity position with increasing home values. NOSs (Notices of Sale) were up by one to 12.
Although foreclosure inventories had been falling, last month saw a sudden spike in pre-foreclosure (properties that have a NOD filed against them) inventory in Pleasanton. It appears there might be some mistake in the Foreclosure Radar data shown below as according to the previous chart there was an increase of 6 NOD’s filed in February. There were a total of 32 bank owned properties in Pleasanton at February end and just 58 bank owned homes that will be put up for sale at some stage.
