Your Trusted Real Estate Professional,
Nate.
With the end of 2013 behind us, I thought it would be a great
opportunity to take a look at the housing market and better
yet, what we can expect to see happen in the next twelve
months. Home price growth was robust in 2013 and com-
pared to 2012 we have seen a national increase of 11.3 per-
cent. This data was provided by the National Association of
REALTORS in a research
study they conducted in
the fourth quarter of
2013. Important data for
you to know, as it is has
pulled many homeown-
ers out of danger due to
underwater mortgage
balances, and put others
into a positive equity position.
Other important highlights from 2013 include a growing sup-
ply of available inventory, which is great news for buyers who
had previously been beat out by multiple offers. Additional,
we have seen a decrease in cash transactions, which indi-
cates a shift in the type of buyer in our market place. The in-
vestor purchases have slowed giving opportunity to the
traditional homebuyer to gain a market share (up from 61
percent to 78 percent).
Short sale transactions have dropped dramatically. As prop-
erty values rise, there are less and less homeowners who
need short sale assistance. Foreclosure transactions are
below what we would consider a normal market share and
loan delinquencies are at normal levels for our market. Now,
let’s take a look at the different areas of the Valley:
Northeast Valley: Pending sales rose by 4 percent and ac-
tive listings rose by 3 percent. Because of this low sales rate,
the northeast valley market now holds 8.1 months’ inventory
of supply, the highest level since March 2011.
Southeast Valley: Current supply of homes on the market is
up from 3.4 last month to 4.1.
West Valley: Supply continues to rise, up from 3.5 months to
4.5 months at the beginning of December. The average dol-
lar-per-square foot price increased by 1 percent and the av-
erage dollar-per-square foot price for pending sales rose by
2 percent.
Central Valley: Pending sales are still weak, down 36% from
last year however the median sales price advanced 0.6 per-
cent.
Today there are just under 24,000 active homes on the mar-
ket in Maricopa County, which is a positive change from this
time last year – this number is down slightly from December
when inventory was over 24,000 active homes. With a few
more homes on the market for sale, traditional buyers are
able to make purchases without the fear of multiple offers.
There are 2,479 homes under contract with contingencies
(UCB) and 5,438 homes currently sale pending. This is the
lowest sale pending number we’ve seen since the dark days
of December 2007, however, the average sales price is up
by 21.31 percent from this time last year. With the increase of
inventory comes a slight increase in the time it takes a home
to sell.
We are seeing the average at around 36 days on the mar-
ket. The result of more inventory and a little longer time on
the market has been an overdue stabilization in the housing
economy. These are welcomed changes, which have cre-
ated a refreshing enthusiasm in our market. It’s a New Year…
a new market and a great time to own a piece of the Ameri-
can Dream. Are you ready to make a move? Give me a call
today. Nate

A lot of clients/agents have been worried about “changes” in qualifying guidelines in 2014. How about this?
Earlier this year, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)adopted a rule that implements the Ability-to-Repay and Qualified Mort-gage (ATR/QM) provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. When the rule takeseffect in January 2014, it will replace existing credit guidelines regardinga customer's ability to repay a mortgage.
What does this mean? For Cobalt Mortgage it’s Business as Usual!
While the new rule affects most loan types, the impact on how CobaltMortgage verifies borrowers will be minimal. Since we were founded in2001, we’ve practiced responsible lending by helping to ensure that ourcustomers choose a loan and payments that are within their means. Wewill continue to verify income and debts using reasonably reliable third-party records. Borrowers will still need to provide full documentation tosupport their Ability-to-Repay. This could mean an additional pay stub,business tax return, Social Security Award Letter, etc.
Watch for more information regarding how the ATR/QM rule changesmay effect you, or call me today with any questions you have.
