There are some interesting observations to make, First, notice the large increase in the Ratio of Short Sales to Total when you compare Active for Sale to Pending in Escrow. This is due to the fact that most Short Sales are bargain priced and many home buyrs today are seeking value. But the next observation is even more interesting. Notice how the ratio of Short Sales to the  Total, decreases substantially when comparing Pending in Escrow to Sold in the past 90 days. This shows the high failure rate of Short Sale transactions. In the past 90 days, approximately 58% of detached Short Sale Transactions failed, and 52% Short Sale condo transactions failed to close.

The cause of this high rate of failure is many neighborhood Real Estate Agents do not have the experience to close short sales consistently. The Short Sales ASAP group are Orange County Short Sale specialists and have a closing succes rate of over 95%.

This dramatic improvement in the local market is a result of the low inventory of homes and condos for sale, and the strong demand that has resulted from the large drop in property values, and the historically low interest rates.  The low level of Months of Inventory has put a halt to price reductions as can be seen in the graph below.  The Price per Square foot is a much more accurate indicator of relative price movements for a given area, than a calculation of Average or Median prices.   The graph below shows that prices have declined about 32% from the peak in pricing in the summer of 2006′.  Pricing has remained relatively flat for most of 2009′ at the $300 per Square Foot range for detached homes, and $275 per Square Foot for attached condos in Orange County.  For more information about property values here in Orange County, feel free to contact us at:  (949) 388-3396 or email us at:  Info@eVantageRE.com
