Brevard, NC Real Estate Market Update

Part 2 of the three part series.

The market stats for 2010 thru November tell the story.  The story is PRICE WARS.  Long story short, prices have been acceptably stable even with the large amount of distressed property business (33% of the market).  Average home prices are down, but the price sellers are willing to sell at is dropping.  I have been saying this all year that “sellers don’t want to give away the farm.”  However, when the offer comes along…that is what really motivates a seller to “not let this one slip away.”

So, sellers have been accepting 2% less than they were a year ago.  If I were a seller facing a loss I would take a 2% loss now instead of a 5% loss over the next 12 months.  Selling now has it’s perks.  Now what usually comes next in this type of market cycle is what I will be focused on in the next part of this series, “Recapping the 2010 Brevard, NC Real Estate market”.

Have a Blessed New Year!

Selling a Brevard, NC home in the right market.

There are all kinds of how-to books at the book store this year on how to do everything, even sell your own home.  Now most people know the basics of selling a home…put a sign in the yard, advertise on face book, maybe print some flyers even.  What I have noticed about the home sales this year is there are new patterns developing that were not here last year.  What an informed seller does is watch the patterns and market to them.

For instance, in the spring we had the home credit that drove millions into buying a home.  Then Brevard area realtors like myself watched the news media talk about how the summer months looked like the real estate market was going to crash because home sales were down so much (double digits).  Now that we are towards the end of the year, a clear pattern has emerged.

FORECLOSED REAL ESTATE!!

Foreclosed real estate accounts for about a third of the business now, not only in the Brevard, NC area but nationwide.  I think there have been many neighborhoods that have been protected from this crisis, like Straus Park, Deerlake, Connestee Falls and others, but for how long…

The reason they have been protected is because of the typical demographic of the home owner that lives there.  Typically there is an owner with a fixed income, and lives within their means.  This is good for the neighborhood and provides stability.  Buyers should consult with an agent that can give information like this because buyers need it now!

I will be discussing the other trends in Brevard,NC real estate in the coming weeks as we move into the new year and this years statistics are complete.

North Carolina Association Of Realtors

Existing-Home Sales Decline in October Following Two Monthly Gains


Release date: 11/23/10

Existing-home sales retreated in October on the heels of two strong monthly gains, according to the National Association of REALTORS®.

Existing-home sales, which are completed transactions that include single-family, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops, declined 2.2 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.43 million in October from 4.53 million in September, and are 25.9 percent below the 5.98 million-unit level in October 2009 when sales were surging prior to the initial deadline for the first-time buyer tax credit.

Year-to-date there were 4.149 million existing-home sales, down 2.9 percent from 4.272 million at this time in 2009.

Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said the recent sales pattern can be expected to continue. “The housing market is experiencing an uneven recovery, and a temporary foreclosure stoppage in some states is likely to have held back a number of completed sales. Still, sales activity is clearly off the bottom and is attempting to settle into normal sustainable levels,” he said. “Based on current and improving job market conditions, and from attractive affordability conditions, sales should steadily improve to healthier levels of above 5 million by spring of next year.”

According to Freddie Mac, the national average commitment rate for a 30-year, conventional, fixed-rate mortgage fell to a record low 4.23 percent in October from 4.35 percent in September; the rate was 4.95 percent in October 2009.

The national median existing-home price for all housing types was $170,500 in October, down 0.9 percent from October 2009. Distressed homes3 accounted for 34 percent of sales in October, compared with 35 percent in September and 30 percent of sales in October 2009.

NAR President Ron Phipps, broker-president of Phipps Realty in Warwick, R.I., clarified that several factors are restraining a housing recovery, even with great affordability conditions. “We’ll likely see some impact from the foreclosure moratorium in the months ahead, but overly tight credit is making it difficult for some creditworthy borrowers to qualify for a mortgage, and we are continuing to deal with a notable share of appraisals coming in below a price negotiated between a buyer and seller,” he said.

“A return to common sense loan underwriting standards would go a long way toward achieving responsible, sustainable homeownership. In addition, all home valuations should be made by competent professionals with local expertise and full access to market data – there remains an elevated level of appraisals that fail to provide accurate valuation, which is causing a steady level of sales to be cancelled or postponed,” Phipps said.

A parallel NAR practitioner survey shows 10 percent of REALTORS® in October report they had a contract cancelled as a result of a low appraisal, and 13 percent report they had a contract delayed; 16 percent said a contract was negotiated to a lower sales price as a result of a low appraisal.

According to FHFA, Fannie- and Freddie-backed mortgages that were recently originated show an outstanding performance, even better than during the pre-housing bubble years.

“A review of recently originated loans suggests that they have overly stringent underwriting standards, with only the highest creditworthy borrowers able to tap into historically low mortgage interest rates. There could be an upside surprise to sales activity if credit availability is opened to more qualified home buyers who are willing to stay well within budget,” Yun added.

Total housing inventory at the end of October fell 3.4 percent to 3.86 million existing homes available for sale, which represents a 10.5-month supply4 at the current sales pace, down from a 10.6-month supply in September.

First-time buyers purchased 32 percent of homes in October, unchanged from September, but down from 50 percent a year ago during the initial surge for the first-time buyer tax credit. Investors accounted for 19 percent of transactions in October; they were 18 percent in September and 14 percent in October 2009; the balance of sales were to repeat buyers. All-cash sales were at 29 percent in October, unchanged from September but up from 20 percent a year ago.

Single-family home sales declined 2.0 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.89 million in October from 3.97 million in September, and are 25.6 percent below the 5.23 million surge in October 2009. The median existing single-family home price was $171,100 in October, which is 0.5 percent below a year ago.

Existing condominium and co-op sales fell 3.6 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 540,000 in October from 560,000 in September, and are 27.6 percent below the 746,000-unit sales rush a year ago. The median existing condo price5 was $166,000 in October, down 4.2 percent from October 2009.

Regionally, existing-home sales in the Northeast declined 1.3 percent to an annual pace of 750,000 in October and are 27.2 percent below the surge in October 2009. The median price in the Northeast was $240,200, which is 1.9 percent higher than a year ago.

Existing-home sales in the Midwest slipped 1.1 percent in October to a level of 940,000 and are 32.4 percent below the tax credit rush one year ago. The median price in the Midwest was $139,500, down 3.6 percent from October 2009.

In the South, existing-home sales fell 3.4 percent to an annual pace of 1.71 million in October and are 24.0 percent below the year-ago surge. The median price in the South was $148,700, down 0.7 percent from October 2009.

Existing-home sales in the West declined 1.9 percent to an annual level of 1.03 million in October and are 21.4 percent below the sales rush in October 2009 . The median price in the West was $209,300, which is 4.8 percent below a year ago.

70 Temple Church Road, Brevard, NC

Home for Sale

This adorable cottage style home in Brevard North Carolina has just been listed with Isaac Allen an Agent with Exit Mountain Realty.  This home has three bedrooms and one bathroom with hardwood floors in the living areas.  The most notable feature of this home when you first step into the living room is the beautiful hardwood floors, knotty pine paneling (tongue and groove) and the wood trim.  This home has truly stood the test of time and is in line with the original character and charm of the home, built in the 60’s.  The features of this home are many and include updates.  Starting with the big updates, the roof, h2o heater, plumbing and furnace have all been replaced with modern and efficient systems.   The kitchen is large for the home and there is plenty of room for a table that seats four.  The interior is a mix of drywall and knotty pine paneling (original) and fresh paint has given the home a contemporary, light feel.  All appliances are included for the new owner.   The current owners have lived in this home for over 30 years and have meticulously maintained this home; the new owner will appreciate this and enjoy this home for years to come. 

The neighborhood this home is in is convenient to the Transylvania Community Hospital (< 1 minute), the Pisgah National Forest (<5 min. away), and shopping centers like Lowe’s Hardware, and Ingles Grocery to name a few.  The home has a level landscaped yard and you will see the extra detail in the garden area and the level of pride of ownership that will convey to the new owner of this home.  I have been in real estate sales long enough to say that this home will sell fast because it has character and charm that cannot be replicated and in an area that is convenient to Brevard, Hendersonville and Asheville.  This home has had a reputable local pest control company treat the home for over 30 years as a precaution against pests, so the new owner will have one less thing to worry about.

This well built home is situated mountainside so that the lower level of this home is a walk-out basement that has views from the game room and one bedroom.  Some other features in the basement are the large laundry area, high ceilings for a lower level, tons of storage and two large bedrooms.  The lower level game room has room for a foosball table and a ping-pong table with good light and room for couches too!  The brick patio just outside the game room is a great place to unwind and enjoy the private wooded setting and listen to the birds and the quiet.

The three bedrooms are large and two offer views.  Each room has a large closet and the rooms are nicely trimmed.  The contemporary staircase to the lower level is nice, (see the virtual tour) and offers extra storage beneath.  The hallway is on the lower level and is wide enough so that the area feels spacious and large.  The hall bathroom is also extra large with a comfortable layout. 

This home is a great overall package and is priced to sell.  Connestee Falls is a very special area of Transylvania County is out only gated community.

Connestee Falls Community

 The Connestee Falls Community is known for its peaceful park like setting, lakes and privacy.  The clubhouse and golf course offer refreshment and recreation along with a host of activities and dinners for the active lifestyle. 

The four lakes of Connestee Falls make our locale unique within Western North Carolina and constitute major scenic and recreational attractions within the community. Our community is fortunate that, except for one small stream helping feed Lake Atagahi, the watersheds for all four lakes are completely within our boundaries, thus giving us virtually complete control over our lake water quality.

                                                                                                                                      Three of the lakes have storage areas for small boats (fee required). All lakes have boat launching ramps.  Unless noted otherwise, all four lakes contain our five predominant fish species in varying numbers (largemouth bass), bluegill/bream, catfish, yellow perch, and rainbow trout).

Connestee Falls Golf is a semi-private, mountain golf course that offers a perfect golf experience... challenging greens, beautiful layout, scenic views and abundant wildlife.

Tax Credit Article in Paper

This article was printed over the summer.  Thanks to the Shermak’s for buying a home and helping with the article.  The tax credit was responsible for making homes affordable for millions of Americans.  The downside was that now the market is taking a down-turn as a result of all the purchases that were made earlier this year.

FORECLOSURE HOME TOURS

(Brevard, NC) Exit Mountain Realty announces the first in a series of ‘Foreclosed Homes Tours’.  The first tour will take place Friday, September 03, 2010 at 11:00 am at the Exit Mountain Realty Brevard office at 1910 Asheville Highway.

The tours are designed to be an educational experience for buyers and investors that want to buy distressed properties in this area.  The current level of foreclosed, bank owned and short sale homes in Transylvania County indicate that it is not isolated from the current economic recession felt around the country.  The current number of distressed properties is twenty-nine.  As the numbers of foreclosed homes swell there are more opportunities for buyers to get a very good deal if they know what to look for.  To help tour goers see the homes through the eyes of professional home inspector, Exit Mountain Realty has invited a local Home Inspector with Altamont Inspections, Eddie Roberts, Jr.   Eddie is a licensed Home Inspector and helps discriminating buyers protect their investment dollars.

All are welcome on the Foreclosure Tours; however, the max tour goers will be limited to 25 per tour.  It is suggested that all interested persons R.S.V.P. by Thursday afternoons to reserve their seat. 

The tours will be led by Isaac Allen, an agent with Exit Mountain Realty.  Isaac received the ‘Top Sales Award’ in 2009 with Exit Mountain Realty. 

Other interesting statistics about distressed properties (not including vacant land) in Transylvania County are;

  • 18 distressed properties have sold in the last 12 months.  Those 18 sales represent 13% of total sales in Transylvania County.
  • Of the total residences available in Transylvania County, 879 per MLS, only 3% of those properties are distressed.

WNC sales statistics;

  • There were 606 distressed sales in WNC in the last 12 months.  Those 606 sales represent 12.2% of total sales (4929)in WNC in the last year.
  • There are 428 distressed properties in WNC today.  Those properties are 4.3% of the 9884 total homes available, including single family homes, condos and townhomes.
