This is Boyd Roberts broker of Gallery Real Estate with my take on June’s Laguna Beach real estate market. Under $5M – with just a 6.3-month supply of homes – the market is quite robust and is firing on all cylinders. Over $5M – with over a 52-month supply – the market is anemic and needs to be put on life support.
Overall, I am very optimistic. Median June sold prices were up $60,000 and finished just short of $1.9M. In fact year to date – at an even $1.9M – we are on trac for a record year. The sold 12-month moving median set a record print at 1.895M.
Days on market at 75 days is relatively low. Median price reductions held steady at $188,000 or 9%. Most importantly with pending and 3-month closings very high, I expect these trends to continue. No guarantees.
Looking a little closer at the over $5M market, as of July 1st, there were 84 homes active on the market – not including off market pocket listings. In the last 3 months there have only been 5 sales or 1.6 per month. Dividing the 84
active listings by 1.6, we arrive at a pathetic 52.5-month supply of homes. This means at the current rate of sales it would take well over 4 years to sell the current inventory. What could possibly go wrong?
