Upcoming Mortgage-Regulation ChangesWill Affect Both Buyers and Sellers

Our industry is approaching a significant change designed to protect consumers from some of the elements that contributed to the 2007-2008 real estate collapse and general recession. Mortgage transactions – both purchase and refinance – originated after Oct. 3, 2015 will be subject to new regulations designed and enforced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

Nearly 70 percent of Pacific Union’s 5,000-plus annual real estate transactions are financed by mortgages. Therefore, the CFPB rule changes will impact most of our buyers and sellers. After Oct. 3, the Good Faith Estimate, Truth in Lending, and HUD-1 disclosures will be replaced with a Loan Estimate (LE) and a Closing Disclosure (CD). These are brand-new forms that first-time homebuyers and sophisticated investors alike must review and sign if using a regulated mortgage product.

The practical impact appears in the event there is any change in the fees related to closing. We are somewhat accustomed to fee changes and modifications to the Good Faith Estimate and/or the final closing statement as part of the closing process. Variances of up to 10 percent were generally tolerated before a redisclosure was necessary. The new rules and regulations have zero tolerance for an error or changes in fees, credits, and so on.

After Oct. 3, borrowers will be notified if any fees, credits, or costs change via a new CD from the lender, and they will have a mandatory three business days to review them. Clearly this may have an impact on the timely closing of a real estate transaction.

These new CFPB rules and regulations are designed to protect the consumer, provide for full clarity in the LE, and achieve consistency between the original LE and the final CD. The fact that the rules and forms are changing means that all parties involved in a transaction have new processes to follow. Buyers and sellers will need to prepare for these new forms and be ready to relax stringent closing dates in the event that a redisclosure must be made. It is quite possible that, even with our finest intentions, the velocity of our closings may slow somewhat early in the fourth quarter.

We are conducting multiple training sessions for our real estate professionals to ensure that we continue to provide our clients with exceptional service. Please feel free to review all of the new CFPB rules and regulations with your escrow officer, lender, or Pacific Union real estate professional.

Sincerely,

Bay Area: 10-Year Overview of Q2 Homes Sold

3 Factors Contributing to Bay Area Home Sales Declines

Demand for San Francisco Bay Area real estate has arguably never been more intense, as highly paid professionals flock to the region to take advantage of an excellent job market. But a look at the number of single-family home sales across the Bay Area for the first half of 2015 shows that, for the most part, units sold have been slowing for the past two years.

According to MLS data, single-family home sales dropped in six of Pacific Union’s nine Bay Area regions* in the first half of this year compared with the same period last year. When comparing this year’s first-half sales with 2013’s, the pattern becomes even more consistent, with all regions displaying a decrease in the number of homes sold. The two-year declines were largest in western Bay Area counties, where many of the nation’s most desirable jobs are located. (Complete units-sold numbers can be found in the charts below.)

So what’s causing the drop in sales at a time when so many people want to own a home in the Bay Area? Pacific Union CEO Mark A. McLaughlin believes that three major factors are at work.

“A slim supply of homes for sale and an increase in the number of off-market sales are certainly the largest drivers of the decline in units sold as recorded by the MLS,” he says, “but fewer move-up buyers in the market also impacts sales.”

Inventory Shortages

Anyone who follows Bay Area real estate is likely familiar with one of our housing market’s major challenges: fewer homes for sale than people that want to buy them. The situation hasn’t improved over the past year, with the months’ supply of inventory (MSI) for single-family homes sold being lower in June of this year than it was in June 2014 in all of the Bay Area regions in which Pacific Union operates.

An MSI between 4.0 and 6.0 months is generally considered to indicate a balanced market, with lower numbers favoring sellers and vice versa. In June, the MSI across the Bay Area ranged from 0.7 in the Mid-Peninsula region to 2.8 in Napa County, meaning that all of our markets seem to favor sellers.

In Silicon Valley and the Mid-Peninsula, where home sales have declined by double-digit percentages from the first half of 2013, a lack of inventory is a key factor slowing sales, according to David Barca, vice president of those two Pacific Union regions.

“Certainly, if there was more inventory, there would be more sales,” he says.

An Absence of Move-Up Buyers

A lack of homes for sale means that many move-up buyers are sitting on the sidelines, as they are unsure if they will be able to find a new home once they sell their current property. Barca says that in Silicon Valley, one of the nation’s most in-demand housing markets, even buyers with plenty of equity and money are staying put.

Both Pacific Union President Patrick Barber and Marin County Region President Brent Thomson cite reduced activity by move-up buyers as a contributing factor to sales declines on both sides of the Golden Gate Bridge. Barca also notes that first-time buyer activity is particularly low in expensive Silicon Valley – except for the young fortunate professionals that play important roles in local tech and social media companies. Otherwise, young first-time buyers may need to rely on parents or relatives who can assist with the down payment.

Another reason that some move-up buyers might be staying put is the impact of federal and state taxes on the seller. The tax law changes of 2003 provide for capital-gains exemptions of up to $250,000 for single sellers and $500,000 for those who are married. Price appreciation over the past few years has been significant in the Bay Area, and the associated tax impact may give some move-up buyers enough motivation to stay in their existing home and remodel it.

McLaughlin believes that tightened credit markets could also be hindering move-up buyers, as some would not qualify for as large of a mortgage as they did when they purchased their first homes.

An Abundance of Off-Market Listings

While a multiple listing service (MLS) is still the most common way that real estate professionals market their clients’ homes, some clients may decide that the best course of action — for privacy or confidentiality reasons — is to keep the property out of the public eye. According to an analysis of sales data prepared by Pacific Union’s Menlo Park office, private transactions account for about one-third of sales in some San Mateo County enclaves, another factor contributing to the apparent decline in sales volume.

In the combined communities of Menlo Park, Atherton, Portola Valley, and Woodside, off-market sales represented 21 percent of all transactions in the second quarter of 2014. That number increased to 24 percent in the third quarter and 29 percent in the fourth quarter. Private deals rose again in the first quarter of 2015 to 35 percent before relaxing to 30 percent in the second quarter.

Off-market deals have likely also played a role in the slippage of home sales in San Francisco. In a 2014 report, the San Francisco Association of Realtors estimated that private transactions represented 11 percent of home sales in 2013, and Barber speculates that that number has likely since increased.

Pluses of off-market sales include protecting the seller’s privacy and avoiding the work associated with holding open houses. However, it’s important to note that SFAR found that homes not listed on the MLS in 2013 sold for an average of 17 percent less than those that were. Whether or not to make their home available to the public is a decision that sellers should carefully consider and discuss with their trusted real estate professional.

Contra Costa County/Tri-ValleyQuarterly Real Estate ReportQ2 2015

Contra Costa County/Tri-Valley: Q2 ResultsOne word neatly describes second-quarter real estate activity in Pacific Union’s Contra Costa County/Tri-Valley region: phenomenal. Sales reached their highest levels in more than five years, even as inventory remained exceptionally low. Prices rose moderately, with many homes selling for more than their list prices and multiple offers at virtually all price points. (Listing agents have learned to price homes aggressively to generate bidding wars.)

New buyers continued to enter the market, many of them spurred by mortgage rates that are still hovering near record lows – and the threat that they won’t remain that way for much longer. Sellers, meanwhile, remained cautious: tempted by rising prices to put their homes on the market but uncertain of their prospects when they too become buyers.

Looking Forward: Real estate activity typically slows during the summer months, and the third quarter of 2015 will likely be no different. We expect that Contra Costa home prices will continue to rise moderately through the end of the year, with the region’s attractive homes and excellent schools continuing to woo buyers. A jump in mortgage rates could dampen sales or, conversely, prompt buyers to act quickly and lock in an affordable rate before they climb even higher.

Defining Contra Costa County/Tri-Valley: Our real estate markets in Contra Costa County include the cities of Alamo, Blackhawk, Danville, Diablo, Lafayette, Moraga, Orinda, Pleasant Hill, San Ramon, and Walnut Creek. Sales data in the charts below includes single-family homes in these communities.

East BayQuarterly Real Estate ReportQ2 2015

East Bay: Q2 ResultsThe second quarter of 2015 was great for sellers in Pacific Union’s East Bay region. Their homes sold quickly and at prices we haven’t seen in many years. Even homes that needed repairs sold with remarkable ease.

For homebuyers, however, it was a difficult quarter. When they found a home they liked, buyers had to act fast. They frequently competed with other buyers for the same property and worried that anything less than their best offer would cost them the home they wanted. Buyers needed to make sure they had their financing in place and did their due diligence.

There were more homes on the market than in past quarters but the number of new buyers outweighed the increase in inventory. Open houses were mobbed throughout the quarter, with an influx of buyers who were priced out of San Francisco. Asking prices were the starting point for bids. Neighborhoods that score high on walkability ratings and are close to BART stations remain the most popular in the East Bay.

Looking Forward: Our advice for third-quarter homebuyers: Write your best offer. If you don’t, someone else will get the house you’re bidding on, and the next one will be even more expensive.

Defining the East Bay: Our real estate markets in the East Bay region include Oakland ZIP codes 94602, 94609, 94610, 94611, 94618, 94619, and 94705; Alameda; Albany; Berkeley; El Cerrito; Kensington; and Piedmont. Sales data in the charts below includes single-family homes in these communities.

Marin CountyQuarterly Real Estate ReportQ2 2015

Marin County: Q2 ResultsWith a continued shortage of available homes and plenty of eager buyers, sellers controlled the market in Pacific Union’s Marin County region during the second quarter of 2015, as they have for more than a year. Home prices continued to increase throughout the quarter, and multiple offers were the norm – particularly for properties priced fairly and in desirable neighborhoods. It was not uncommon to see buyers offer all cash and waive contingencies to close deals quickly.

Competition among buyers was fierce as the real estate market in neighboring San Francisco tightened and tech money continued to move north. Aggressive offers were necessary for buyers to close a deal. Sales in Mill Valley and Kentfield were particularly strong, with many offers climbing far above asking prices. Private purchase agreements – reached without homes ever appearing on a local MLS and without competing bids – were not uncommon. Such off-market deals can simplify the sales process but don’t guarantee the highest possible prices.

Looking Forward: Sales typically slow during the summer months as buyers’ thoughts turn to vacations, but the Bay Area’s booming economy will ensure that Marin County homes will continue to generate strong interest from buyers while multiple offers for desirable homes will push prices higher.

Defining Marin County: Our real estate markets in Marin County include the cities of Belvedere, Corte Madera, Fairfax, Greenbrae, Kentfield, Larkspur, Mill Valley, Novato, Ross, San Anselmo, San Rafael, Sausalito, and Tiburon. Sales data in the charts below includes single-family homes in these communities.

Napa CountyQuarterly Real Estate ReportQ2 2015

Napa County: Q2 ResultsSales in Pacific Union’s Napa County region were off the charts at all price points in the second quarter of 2015. April and May were busy, and June even more so, as buyers scoured the county for homes. There was also a huge demand for wineries and vineyards. Prices were relatively flat for high-end homes, but those selling for below $800,000 have seen solid price increases over the past year.

Multiple offers were common but were more dependent on a home’s condition and list price than seen in previous quarters – the latest sign that real estate activity is returning to normalcy after seven years of boom, bust, and recovery. Sellers don’t dictate the market anymore, and second-quarter buyers were better prepared and more selective. They did their homework, got their financing in order, and knew what they were willing to spend and what they could afford. Low mortgage rates helped many first-time buyers enter the busy market.

Looking Forward: We expect June’s robust sales activity to continue well into July. August will likely be slower, as families prepare for the upcoming school year, but look for another pickup by mid-September. Throughout the remainder of the year, desirable homes that are fairly priced will continue to attract buyers.

Defining Napa County: Our real estate markets in Napa County include the cities of American Canyon, Angwin, Calistoga, Napa, Oakville, Rutherford, St. Helena, and Yountville. Sales data in the charts below includes all single-family homes in Napa County.

San FranciscoQuarterly Real Estate ReportQ2 2015

San Francisco: Q2 ResultsSan Francisco’s red-hot real estate market continued to sizzle during the second quarter of 2015. It was a fantastic market for sellers: Available single-family homes and condominiums were in short supply at all prices ranges, and a substantial majority of properties for sale received multiple offers. The result? Most sales prices topped asking prices, in some cases by wide margins. Typical of this was a San Francisco home offered at $850,000 that sold for $1.15 million.

Although San Francisco remains a challenging market for buyers, there still were deals to be found – particularly with the help of a savvy real estate professional. But buyers had to move fast, as it wasn’t uncommon to see attractive, fairly priced properties go under contract just days after appearing on the market. Sellers, meanwhile, faced a dilemma: Putting their homes on the market instantly placed them in the same position as buyers – scrambling to find their next home. The solution for many sellers was to negotiate a rent-back agreement with the buyer, giving them extra time to search for a new home.

Looking Forward: Sales typically ease up during the summer, but don’t mistake a less-frenetic pace for a sea change in the market. With a booming local economy and interest rates still near record lows, there will be no shortage of San Francisco buyers for the foreseeable future.

Silicon ValleyQuarterly Real Estate ReportQ2 2015

Silicon Valley: Q2 ResultsPacific Union’s Silicon Valley region started the second quarter with a burst of activity – an extraordinary amount of closings across all submarkets in April – followed by a more moderate sales pace in May and a bit slower still in June. Inventory levels remained tight throughout the quarter – as they have all year, in fact – while home prices continued rising. The hottest-selling price point in the region was for homes priced between $2 million and $3 million.

Most sellers received multiple offers for their properties, but usually only two or three, not the 10 or 15 offers that were typical a year ago. Buyers seemed to have greater negotiating room than in the past several years, while many sellers still enjoyed healthy price premiums. One-third of the region’s sales were private purchase agreements, reached without the homes ever appearing on a local MLS and without competing bids. Such agreements can simplify the sales process, but they don’t guarantee the highest possible prices.

Looking Forward: The summer months typically see a slowdown in sales activity in Silicon Valley, but we expect the number of available homes to pick up in the third quarter, which could bring in the buyers.

Defining Silicon Valley: Our real estate markets in the Silicon Valley region include the cities and towns of Atherton, Los Altos (excluding county area), Los Altos Hills, Menlo Park (excluding east of U.S. 101), Palo Alto, Portola Valley, and Woodside. Sales data in the charts below includes all single-family homes in these communities.

Defining the Mid-Peninsula: Our real estate markets in the Mid-Peninsula subregion include the cities of Burlingame (excluding Ingold Millsdale Industrial Center), Hillsborough, and San Mateo (excluding the North Shoreview/Dore Cavanaugh area). Sales data in the charts below includes all single-family homes in these communities.

Sonoma CountyQuarterly Real Estate ReportQ2 2015

Sonoma County: Q2 ResultsAfter a slow first quarter, home sales picked up in Pacific Union’s Sonoma County region during the second quarter. The number of available homes rose above first-quarter levels but still lagged behind totals recorded one year earlier. The tight supply kept buyers scrambling and guaranteed multiple offers for the most attractive homes on the market, helping to drive the median sales price up moderately.

Fewer lower-priced homes were available than in past quarters: The short sales and foreclosures that dominated the market several years ago have all been sold, and price appreciation moved the market higher. Homes selling for $900,000 to $2 million had the highest increase in sales during the second quarter, while the number of homes priced below $400,000 shrunk by almost one-half.

Looking Forward: July and August typically see fewer sales, but we expect real estate activity to once again pick up by mid-September. Sellers will still have the upper hand in the third quarter, but Sonoma County will continue to move toward a more balanced market, and buyers will have increased negotiating room. Home shoppers will be plentiful, spurred by the probability of rising mortgage rates. Sellers who put their homes on the market at a fair price will likely see multiple offers and a quick sale.

Defining Sonoma County: Our real estate markets in Sonoma County include the cities of Cotati, Healdsburg, Penngrove, Petaluma, Rohnert Park, Santa Rosa, Sebastopol, and Windsor. Sales data in the charts below includes all single-family homes and farms and ranches in Sonoma County.

Sonoma ValleyQuarterly Real Estate ReportQ2 2015

Sonoma Valley: Q1 ResultsThree months ago we predicted that the Sonoma Valley real estate market would be “unbelievably busy” in the second quarter of 2015, and that turned out to be an accurate projection. Sales were phenomenal, and sellers who heeded our advice and put their properties on the market early were rewarded with multiple offers and quick sales, often above the asking price. The median sales price jumped higher, as did the pace of sales.

The second quarter was good for sellers, although late in the quarter we also saw the beginning of some pushback from buyers. For example, several transactions that went into contract immediately at well above asking prices were canceled shortly after escrow was opened. Other buyers made substantial requests for repairs, concessions, or price reductions once their due-diligence period was complete and then canceled well into the transaction because sellers would not comply with their requests. Could it be that we are starting to see a transition into a more balanced market? Time will tell.

Looking Forward: We typically see some fluctuation in the market in the third quarter. Summer vacations, the start of the school year, and the Wine Country grape harvest can all impact real estate activity in Sonoma Valley. However, with interest rates and Bay Area unemployment both at extremely low levels, we believe this strong market will last well into 2016.

Defining Sonoma Valley: Our real estate markets in Sonoma Valley include the cities of Glen Ellen, Kenwood, and Sonoma. Sales data in the charts below refers to all residential properties – including single-family homes, condominiums, and farms and ranches – in these communities.

Lake Tahoe/TruckeeQuarterly Real Estate ReportQ2 2015

Lake Tahoe/Truckee: Q2 ResultsPacific Union’s Lake Tahoe/Truckee region is mostly a vacation-home market, so it’s no surprise that sales depend heavily on tourism. And with precious little snow amid California’s drought, tourist numbers have been down significantly. The result? Sales volume in the second quarter of 2015 was down from the levels posted one year earlier.

There were several bright spots, however. Sales were brisk in communities near Lake Tahoe, and many sellers in the region were flexible in pricing and eager to make a deal. Also, construction resumed in several developments – the first major residential building activity in quite a few years outside of Martis Camp, Schaffer’s Mill, and Gray’s Crossing. By the end of the second quarter, sales started climbing again as winter activities gave way to summer in the Sierras, bringing a new round of visitors from the Bay Area and Sacramento.

Looking Forward: The summer months will be busy in beautiful Lake Tahoe/Truckee, bringing plenty of new buyers to the region. Home prices in many areas of Lake Tahoe still haven’t reached their prerecession peaks, so there will be plenty of bargains to be found. Looking to the fourth quarter and beyond, we are heartened by numerous forecasts of an El Nino winter ahead, bringing welcome snow (and tourists) to the Sierras, and plenty of rain elsewhere in the state.

Defining Lake Tahoe/Truckee: Our real estate markets in Tahoe/Truckee include the communities of Alpine Meadows, Donner Lake, Donner Summit, Lahontan, Martis Valley, North Shore Lake Tahoe, Northstar, Squaw Valley, Tahoe City, Tahoe Donner, Truckee, and the West Shore of Lake Tahoe. Sales data in the charts below includes single-family homes and condominiums in these communities.
