Irvine CA real estate has sustained a huge drop in number of homes for sale listing inventory.

Buyers at Irvine now have more competition - it’s harder for buyers in this market.

Irvine now has 482 homes listed for sale – as of April 15, 2012 – compared with 790 listed for resale same time last year during 2011.

Average list price of Irvine homes is now about $1.1 million.

243 of the 481 Irvine homes (about 50 percent) now listed were built after 2000 – during the past 12 years.

• Average list price on those Irvine homes listed and built after 2000 – is $1.400,750.
• Average list price on those Irvine homes listed and built before 2000 – is $700,383.

74 of the Irvine homes now listed are short sales - 15.4 percent of Irvine market – as compared with more than 25 percent short sales listed at Orange County CA real estate.

275 Irvine properties went under purchase contract during the past 30 days – according to CRMLS – there are now 280 Irvine homes in backup on MLS – and another 288 under pending status – so 566 Irvine homes are now listed as under purchase contracts.

Average market time to theoretically sell all Irvine homes at this rate is 1.75 months – short market time favoring sellers (as compared with 2.9 months average market time one year ago April 2011).

Irvine CA real estate market has lots of buyers and not enough sellers.

Irvine CA current home selling market pressure favors sellers – people who want to sell their properties should get them ready and on the market now as soon as possible to capture buyer interest.

Home owner/sellers at Irvine need to understand – current 4 percent purchase money loan rates has brought more buyers into the market – those amazingly low loan rates aren’t here to stay – when rates go up – number of buyers will decrease, and it will be more challenging to sell your property.

Buyer demand is solid at Orange County CA real estate – and it should inspire seller confidence. 

Realtors and brokers resold 2,576 Orange County CA homes last month during March 2012 – with average sold price of $511,908.

That's sold volume up 10.7 percent as compared with March 2011 – when 2325 homes were sold.

442 of those sold homes were REOs – or 17 percent of market.

629 of those sold were short sales – or 24 percent of that market.

So 41 percent of sold homes at Orange County during March this year were distressed properties (either REO or short sales).

According to Steven Thomas at "Reports On Housing" the Orange County home buyer demand is up – with pending sales during March 2012 up.

And if we had a better supply of homes for sale, number of pendings would be up even further.

It's a matter of time now – until this buyer pressure and demand for homes will result in home selling prices to go up.

Investor buyers like foreclosures  at  Orange County CA real estate - with good values, low prices, and solid rents.

Orange County like all of California has a foreclosure funnel – with some homes underwater – with others delinquent in payments, with some now in foreclosure where notice of default have been filed – and others bank owned after foreclosure.

Investors aren’t afraid of that news and are ready to buy more foreclosures at Orange County CA than the market has ready to sell.

Investor buyers see that many trustee auctions are postponed, or canceled, and that a small percentage of those are actually sold to third parties or back to the banks as REOs.

Investor buyers like to see more foreclosures at Orange County – ready to buy them all either at trustee sale auctions or on the REO market.

During February, 2012, Orange County real estate foreclosure filing numbers were down – foreclosure sales at trustee auctions strong to third parties – and buyer demand invites foreclosures to be started and completed.

Investors bought 201 Orange County homes at trustee sale auctions during February this year, and buyers bought 342 REO homes on the open market during February.

Buyers and investors like foreclosures – good prices and value with high rents – at Orange County CA real estate.

Homes ending with foreclosure are either sold to third parties, or back to the banks as REOs, then eventually resold on the open market.

Orange County Ca real estate buyers are active and don’t need government help or incentives to clear up foreclosure properties.
