Huntington Beach Market Update

APRIL 2021

By Scot Campbell, Realtor 5/24/21 Source: Realtor MLS

The BEST TIME of the Year to Sell has arrived!

Sellers are enjoying the Most Favorable conditions I have seen in 30+ years.

The Huntington Beach residential real estate market performed remarkably well in April 2021. It was a month that had 207 new listings and 217 properties sold. A year ago, those respective numbers were 102 and 101 (reflecting the COVID-19 lockdown). The Average Days on Market was 25, last year it was 26 days.

Clients, Friends, & Family – As we move into the late spring and early summer, these are the best of times for home sellers in Huntington Beach.

The demand has never been greater at a time when the inventory of homes was so low. The conditions are especially favorable for sellers we see Second Home Buyers arrive in town to find the beach home their family has been dreaming about for years.

If you are thinking of taking advantage of the peak prices, you might be wondering: “How do I get started?”

The Selling Process is much easier today: Step One is to call, text, or email me.

Step Two will be a conversation about your goals. We will do all the Question & Answer that you need to understand the process.

Step Three is the process of getting your house ready for the market.

Step Four is getting on the market, in escrow, and closed.

I will make sure it goes smoother than you ever thought possible, and the property will sell for top dollar to a wonderful buyer.

Remarkably, the List/Sold Price ratio for April 2021 closed homes was 101.1%. So, on average homes listed in the MLS are selling 1.1% OVER the asking price. The Average Sold Price for all Huntington Beach homes was $1,123,259, an increase of 20.36% year-over-year reflecting strong price appreciation and an appetite for luxury homes in coastal communities like Huntington Beach.

If you have questions about buying or selling, I am happy to communicate by phone, text, email, zoom or in person (safely) at your home or our Covid Safe outdoor conference areas at our oceanfront real estate office.

DAYS OF SUPPLY

Best Indicator of Relative Strength of the Market

Days-of-Supply is the best measure of the strength of the Huntington Beach Real Estate Market. Recent readings reflect the strongest seller’s market conditions witnessed in years. A reading of below 60 is traditionally a “Seller’s Market. On May 13, 2021 the Days of Supply metric hit 19 days… the best selling conditions I have ever seen for home owners in the last 30 years. This is by far the strongest Spring Seller’s market on record!

Effective Target Marketing Paired with an Exceptional “Virtual Tour Experience” Results in a Quick Sale at Top Dollar!

901 Huntington St, Huntington Beach: An example of excellence in real estate marketing. By Scot Campbell - March 2021 As with most things, there is a right way and a wrong way to market real estate in 2021. The property at 901 Huntington Street was listed during 2020 for 180 days, but it did not sell, so the seller turned to Scot Campbell to get the job done.

The property was prepared for the market and the HDRI enhanced photography came out beautifully. A Virtual Tour was created using a high-resolution 3D camera, and an aerial 360 drone video was uploaded so buyers could see the neighborhood and proximity to schools, parks, & the beach!

The home was entered into the Realtor MLS, an electronic marketing campaign was launched, and a direct mailing went out to 17,500 Huntington Beach households.

Google, Facebook, & Instagram views totaled 118,474, there were 2,147 “clicks” for more information, and 14 people made direct electronic inquires on the property. The combination of marketing efforts resulted in 62 3D Tour Views over 8 days, with just three in person showings, 2 offers, and a closed escrow at 99.98% of asking price.

If you have had thoughts of selling, contact Scot Campbell for a confidential conversation on your future plans and he will help you achieve your goals.

My New Virtual Tour Platform allows me to do “Live Virtual Open Houses” with “in-tour audio”. It also has a “doll house” view, 2D floorplan, and annotated details about the upgrades.

Example Property Tour:

www.16455Ladona3Dtour.info

A Game Changing Virtual Tour Platform has emerged… let me tell you about it.

Before I tell you about it, I wanted to mention that I hope that you are your family are well. Also I wish to express my continued sincere appreciation for the healthcare workers in our community on the front lines fighting the COVID-19 virus.

There are now countless platforms for interior home Virtual Tours.

All the systems have excellent 3D images provided a quality camera is used.

Some systems have tiles along the bottom to move through the house, others have circles or arrows. One of the best Virtual Tour features is the “doll house” view (made famous by Matterport). Some systems can also generate a 2D floorplan, which buyers have relied on for years.

But, what these systems all lack is the detailed information about the upgrades and features of the home that many buyers would like to know as they “walk through”. And, “live” simultaneous communication with the Realtor (similar to the traditional open house experience), has not been available in the virtual tour systems.

The NEW Virtual Tour Platform I implemented for my three most recent listings has all the functionality that was missing in previous virtual tour platforms:

Buyers like to see the overall neighborhood, so I am now using Aerial 360 Tours for all my listings where drone flights are allowable.

Example Aerial Tour:

www.16452GermainAerial360Tour.info

I can now annotate the upgrades in your home inside the tour giving URL links to features like your new wood flooring, built-in refrigerator, air conditioning, and anything else you want the buyer to know about.

There is also a 2D Floorplan drawing inside the platform.

Most importantly, I can now “Live Walk” the buyer though the home tour… it is like a Zoom Meeting inside of the tour platform.

Like Zoom, multiple buyers on separate devices can be on the “Live Walk” through the home. Perhaps the husband is on an iPhone watching the kids play at the park, the wife is at home on a desktop, and the grandparents were invited to participate on their tablet.

Either myself, or any one of the participants can manipulate the movement through the various “3D Views” of the house.

I believe Coldwell Banker - Campbell Realtors is the only real estate brokerage in Huntington Beach using these two advanced tour systems. If you are thinking about selling and want the best possible marketing experience for your home, please contact me via phone or text at 714-336-0394.

California Homeowners Can Realize Significant Annual Property Tax Savings Starting April 1st 2021 Prop 19 removes location and price restrictions to allow homeowners who are 55 or older, severely disabled, or victims of wildfires or natural disasters to:

- Purchase a replacement home anywhere in California and transfer the taxable value of their current home, allowing them to realize significant annual property tax savings.

- Move closer to family or medical care, purchase a home that better meets their needs, replace a firedamaged home, or retire or relocate anywhere in the state without a tax increase.

- Save substantially in annual property taxes when moving to a replacement home, even if the replacement home is more expensive than the original primary residence (with an adjustment upward to their tax basis if the replacement property is of greater value).

- Transfer the low property tax base of their original home to a new home up to three times.

The California Assn of Realtors advise homesellers seek the advice of a qualified California real estate attorney or tax advisor if there is a question about Proposition 19.
