Case Shiller Study of US Home Prices Up 5.1% On Year To October.

December 27, 2016 By Dominic & Hem-young deFazio Leave a Comment

US house and home prices are now back above where they were pre-crash. The various Case Shiller measurements of house prices are up 5.1%, 5.6%, on the year to October 2015. Which gives us a very interesting little lesson in something called the wealth effect. For as we also know today US consumer confidence has leapt to levels last seen in 2001. And we do have a theory about why these two might or Continue Reading

Neighborhood Features That Drag Down Your Home Value.

April 7, 2016 By Dominic & Hem-young deFazio Leave a Comment

When it comes to real estate clichés, “Location, location, location” has all other contenders (including “Not a drive-by!”; “Cash is king!”; “Is that your checkbook or are you just glad to see me?”; and “Worst house, best street”) beat by a mile. Not only has it been in use since at least 1926 (according to the New York Times), but it’s utterly and inarguably true. More than any other single Continue Reading

Southern California Home Sales Fall in January.

March 24, 2015 By Dominic & Hem-young deFazio Leave a Comment

Despite many promising factors leading into 2015, home sales in January fell sharply from December, a modest dip from a year earlier and the 14th month in the last 16 to post year-over-year declines. While a decline in sales is typical during the winter months, many experts were hopefully that the abnormally low mortgage rates would be enough to drive the market forward. Now many agents and Continue Reading

Pasadena Homes for Sale and Sold — April 2014.

May 11, 2014 By Dominic & Hem-young deFazio 1 Comment

Last month our opening sentence regarding the Pasadena real estate market was: “Wow! The real estate market looks great in our community based on the numbers from March and our experience in our day-to-day activities.” Since then we’ve heard from the National Association of Realtors and Janet Yellen of the Federal Reserve Board, both expressing concern that the national market is flat.

U.S. Pending Home Sales down in September; Pasadena up.

October 29, 2013 By Dominic & Hem-young deFazio Leave a Comment

Pending home sales in the U.S declined for the fourth consecutive month in September (and rose in Pasadena), as higher mortgage interest rates and higher home prices curbed buying power, according to the National Association of Realtors®. In addition there was growing insecurity over lawmakers’ inability to agree on a budget and that hurt consumer confidence. • The sales index in the western Continue Reading
