Real Estate HIGHS AND LOWS – Glendora, CA – February 3, 2014

Okay, so here is today’s report for the Glendora, CA Real Estate Market.

SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE

Lowest Priced Home   $     325,000

Highest Priced Home  $   6,000,000

Average                      $     650,000

Active Listings    58

Sold This Week  5

New Listings This Week  13

WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU:  You now have more information about what’s happening with the GLENDORA REAL ESTATE MARKET so you can make an informed decision on whether this city is right for you and if the prices fit into your budget.  The average price in GLENDORA this week is $585,000 which is lower than before.  Prices have risen considerably in this city over the past year and are expected to rise a bit further during this coming year.  If you are thinking of  GLENDORA as your new hometown, now is the time to buy!

The other thing you can learn from this information is the saturation rate of the existing active real estate listings.  The saturation rate is determined by the amount of sales in a week and the number of listings available for sale.  So in this case, there are 58 homes being actively marketed by Realtors for sale.  If you divide those 58 by the number of homes sold this week, in this case 5, you have your saturation rate.  This means that if you placed your home on the market to sell you can expect it to take approximately 12 weeks to sell your home.  That is if no other listings come into the real estate marketplace during that time.  This past week there were 13 new listings showing that the homeowners in GLENDORA are putting their faith in the market once again.

HOW THIS AFFECTS YOU:  If your price is competitive and your home is in relatively decent shape you can have it sold in as little as one day or as much or more than the 12 weeks.  It also depends on the agent you are using.  The more aggressive your agent’s marketing plan is for your home, the more exposure your home gets and you can see that would have a great impact.  It truly helps to have an agent that has an existing web presence since most people start their home search online.  On the other hand, if you use someone who merely puts your home on the MLS and does nothing more, it will most likely take a little more time to sell.

If you are a buyer, this means you have a smaller selection to choose from. The prices have risen and the interest rate is in flux, so you may have a good chance to get your offer accepted due to the lower amount of qualified buyers. And with the new tighter guidelines for lending, this knocks out quite a few people who could buy before, giving you a much better chance of getting your dream home.

CONDOS AND TOWNHOMES

Lowest    $   290,000

Highest   $   498,000

Average  $   401,000

Active Listings   20

Condos Sold This Week  3

New Listings This Week  1

So if the same holds true for CONDOS, then it would take approximately 7 weeks to sell your condo or townhome.  And a buyer has 20 to choose from right now.  It seems that during these trying economic times, people are really not doing much in the way of buying or selling condos but here in GLENDORA there is a bit more activity than other cities.

Since I am local to the area, I work hard to be a local expert in GLENDORA Real Estate.  The prices, the inventory and the trends so I can be a better agent for you.

So if you are interested in buying or selling or simply have questions about real estate, please feel free to contact me.  I will be more than happy to assist you. Call me for your free home market analysis in the month of February!

A Glendora Icon Has Passed - RIP Mark in the Park

Okay, so growing up in Glendora, CA was such a HUGE blessing.  I can't even tell you what a difference a community makes in people's lives.  In fact it's taken me about a week to write this post and I'm still very emotional about it.

Sometime in my elementary school days, you know, about the time you start to REALLY remember things, I met a guy around town named Mark.  He was everywhere and knew everyone.  He knew your parents, he knew your kids, and I don't believe Mark ever knew a stranger. and if he didn't want to know you, he wanted to.

Some people didn't know how to take Mark exactly.  He would just come up and stand there looking at you and waiting for you to say something.  You see, Mark had suffered some brain damage from oxygen deprivation.  But he was awesome and lovable and almost angelic.

Mark was everywhere, he rode his bike.  He had many bikes over the course of the years and sometimes they were even stolen.  His response, "Oh well, they needed my bike more than me". He was in the local Ralphs while it was still there, then it was Vons and Starbucks.  And the people of Glendora took care of Mark.  They would buy him lunch at Maria's, they would give him free breakfast in their restaurants.  In fact at his funeral, his sister laughed and reminded everyone that he DID have a refridgerator!) And all throughout his service, people kept telling stories and saying he was well taken care of.

But for me, it was Mark who took care of us.  He was there to listen, he was there to talk and he was there to remind you that what you were doing wasn't quite right, even if only by his presence.  He was such an example of unconditional love to everyone he came in contact with.  And I, for one, already miss him dearly.

This was shown on the people who came from far and wide to his funeral.  There were people who had long ago moved out of Glendora who showed up and shared their stories.  And out of the nearly 200 people who attended the Monday evening service, I think almost 1/2 shared a tidbit about how Mark touched their lives.  The priest even commented on how he usually didn't have very many people sharing and it was usually like pulling teeth.

Anyway, coming back to the people of Glendora... I know that Mark flourished because of the people.  Because of their acceptance of someone who was a little bit different.  Because the people of Glendora are accepting and caring and family oriented.  There is no better place to raise your kids or to be a kid than the City of Glendora.

Archaeology and the 210 Corridor

Okay, so   I’ve never really been much into history or archeology.  My son Erik has always wanted to go on digs and make a living this way, but alas, he’s probably going to be what his dad is, an air traffic controller.  However, I DID get really excited about this team from Azusa Pacific University (APU) who is going on a dig in Israel. (My mom got her Master’s from APU.)  

  Why did I get excited, you ask?  That’s easy!  Because they are going to a Biblical part of Israel (Abel Beth Maachah) that nobody has ever dug in before! The reason for going is to find out what happened just before the area was taken over by Assyrian soldiers long, long ago. I’m so excited to see what comes from this, even though you know it will be an ongoing process for a long time.  And what an amazing opportunity for the kids who will get to experience this part of history for themselves! You can read more about the dig HERE.

What does that have to do with my real estate cities of Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne and Claremont (the 210 corridor)?  Azusa is next door to Glendora, one city away from San Dimas, two cities away from La Verne and three cities away from Claremont.  Many kids I know have gotten their degrees there and become amazing, contributing citizens in the area.

I can’t stress enough how amazing this area and the people are.  This is an area where communities are involved, there are amazing school districts, world class colleges for your kids and much, much more.  We are an hour away from the beach, an hour away from the mountains, close to 3 major theme parks and the list goes on and on!

I try to stay on top of my entire area and be a local expert for the region.  So if you are interested in buying or selling in this area, or simply have real estate questions, please feel free to contact me.  I will be more than happy to assist you.

Glendora Real Estate Market Watch - March 9-16, 2012

Market Watch

    New Listing (13) Price Change (12) Back On Market (5) Backup Offer (6) Expired (3) Pending (14) Sold (6) 

Okay, so here are Glendora Real Estate Market statistics for this week - and they seem interesting!

This week there are thirteen new listings, which seems like an amazing start for this peak selling time of the year.  Tis the season and all that!  Six sold this week in Glendora, and that's an okay number when compared with the amount of new listings. It simply means that twice as many are coming on the market for sale as are actually getting sold.  

Fourteen went into escrow which means that in approximately 30-60 days we should have fourteen more that sold.  Looks like the Glendora Real Estate Market is picking up!  If you want to live in Glendora CA, now is the time to buy!  There are lots of homes to choose from, everything is at a discounted price and the interest rates are still down!

Five homes were placed back on the market and six have moved into back up status.  Usually the homes that go back on the market are homes where the buyer has either had to wait too long and backed out of the deal, or can't get the loan they need to complete the purchase.  The banks have been working on the timing part, but the new procedures are not helping a lot yet.

This week there were twelve price changes.  When you compare that with the number of new listings that people have to choose from, that's quite a lot of changes.  And when you remember that most homes sell within the first ten days on the market, can you really afford to price your home too high right now?  I think not!

I try to stay on top of the communities I serve and be a local expert for all of them.  So if you are interested in buying or selling a home, or if you simply have real estate questions, please feel free to contact me.  I will be more than happy to assist you!
