by Patrick Carlisle, Market Analyst for Compass Bay Area Across the Bay Area, markets have continued to slow and cool. As illustrated in this report, dramatic changes in demand, inventory, overbidding, price reductions, and year-over-year appreciation rates have usually occurred. Bring and selling continues: Over 5200 home sales were reported to MLS from Napa County to Monterey in July 2022 – many of them selling quickly for over asking price – but that number is down 38% from last year. Median home price appreciation rates in the Bay Area have seen steep declines from those in 2021/early 2022 – and in June/July, SF median prices were down year over year. Changes vary in degree by location and market segment, but the direction of the shifts is near universal. This report will review year-over-year changes in prices, and in supply and demand, reflecting the significant adjustments from the heated (often overheated) conditions recently the norm, but also look at longer-term trends to provide greater historical context. There is also a comparison of home prices within the local market, as well as across the Bay Area. As of early August, the average, weekly mortgage rate for a 30-year fixed rate loan fell below 5% for the first time since April, and stock markets have seen large rebounds since early July – but these and other indicators have been subject to sudden and often dramatic volatility, and their future directions can’t be taken for granted. Within this report is a link to a review of many of the macroeconomic factors at play. According to some agents, buyer interest has begun to rekindle with the decline in competition, increase in inventory, and economic changes mentioned above, but if this is part of a broader recovery in demand, it has not yet shown up in the statistics – which are lagging indicators of what’s occurring on the ground right now. Monthly data can be volatile, fluctuating according to a wide variety of factors, including market seasonality. Longer-term trends are more meaningful than short-term fluctuations. Mid-late summer is usually a much slower period compared to the spring selling season. Autumn typically sees a very substantial spike in new listings and sales prior to the big mid-winter slowdown. *Our reports are not intended to convince you regarding a course of action or to predict the future, but to provide, to the best of our ability, straightforward information and good-faith analysis to assist you in making your own informed decisions. Statistics should be considered very general indicators, and all numbers should be considered approximate. How they apply to any particular property is unknown without a specific comparative market analysis. Click the above image or here for to view the entire report. |

| Benchmark Mortgage Rates Plunges Back Under 5 Percent Despite the Fed’s recent rate hikes, the average rate for a benchmark 30-year mortgage had plunged from 5.81 to 4.99 percent over the past six weeks, including a 31 basis point (0.31 percentage point) drop over the past week alone, driven by an “increased risk of a formal recession and declining consumer confidence overall,” as we outlined last week and isn’t a positive sign despite some industry spin. |
| The price gap between renting and buying Bay Area homes reaches new highWith Bay Area rent prices still below pre-pandemic levels and home prices hovering around all-time highs — despite a recent softening as mortgage interest rates rise — the gap between the cost of renting and the cost of owning a home in the region is the highest it’s been for at least the past two decades, data shows. |
There are plenty of tricks stagers use to transform a home. The biggest misconception is that staging is similar to interior design. “The way you live in a home and the way you stage a home is completely different,” Cirelli said. “It’s all about spatial awareness and making the rooms look big.” | |
