Interest Rates have fallen as low as 2.5% causing the Buyer pool to grow substantially in the Summer of 2020. However, inventory has not kept up with the demand. 

What CAR Has To Say

According to CAR Senior Vice President and Chief Economist Leslie Appleton-Young (CAR=California Association of Realtors), she said in a statement, “A new record high in the statewide median price suggests that there is stronger housing demand from more qualified, affluent buyers in this extremely favorable lending environment.” 

It’s optimistic news that the Buyers are out there, but unfortunately the Sellers are not. Across the entire state of California, all areas had housing supply decline more than 30% from the year prior, CAR said. Southern California had the biggest drop in supply, as for-sale listings fell 47.3% year over year.

Home Prices Have Been Driven Up

With the lack of supply of homes on the Market, the demand has driven home prices back up. With less options for buyers to choose from, multiple bids on homes is not uncommon. Therefore, it is now a Seller’s market and an excellent time to list your home.

Listings In Moorpark and Thousand Oaks

As a California Realtor whose expertise is in the Ventura County area, particularly in the cities of Moorpark and Thousand Oaks, I can tell you that as of today, there are only 34 homes listed in the city of Moorpark, and only 93 in the neighboring city of Thousand Oaks. 

Now, factor in that some of those homes are over a million dollars, which many Buyers can not afford. This now creates an even shorter supply of homes available to them.

So if you have been thinking about selling your home, then my recommendation is to do so. With the buyer pool being so high, along with home transactions being predominantly digital, and new Covid-19 CAR Safety Rules in place , now is as good of a time as any to move forward on selling.

ONE MORE TIME FOR BRITNEY SPEARS HOME https://michellerivera.com/one-more-time-for-britney-spears-home/ https://michellerivera.com/one-more-time-for-britney-spears-home/#respond Fri, 28 Aug 2020 05:35:42 +0000 https://michellerivera.com/?p=14049 The post ONE MORE TIME FOR BRITNEY SPEARS HOME appeared first on Michelle Rivera Lifestyle.

It’s Baby One More Time when it comes to the former Britney Spears mansion in Beverly Hills getting ready to change hands once again. It was the home she bought in 2007 after her divorce from Kevin Federline, where she could find privacy in a gated-and-guarded community. Britney sold it in 2012 at a $2 million loss. Previously on the market in 2018 at $9 million, it is now listed considerably lower at $6.8 million. Oh yeah, what a steal. 😉 So let’s take a look.

The Old World vibe of the Italianate villa-style home is still warm and inviting, and from the look of its upbeat modern interior, seems to have improved with a few years of maturity. Built in 2001 and measuring in at almost 7,500 square feet, the rooms are large and airy and open to take advantage of the mild climate. The interior opens into a grand foyer dressed in a huge chandelier with glimpses of the second floor that overlooks the entry. A few steps inside reveal the wrought-iron banister leading up the stairs that continues across the second-floor opening that acts as a large catwalk, also with views over the formal living room with its impressive fireplace. Crisp, white and bright, with clerestory windows adding even more light, it is a perfect backdrop for art or special antiques. Additionally there is the formal dining room, chef’s kitchen open to a large family room that opens to the pool deck and thick privacy hedges. There is a cheerful breakfast nook with built-in seating that is surrounded by windows on three sides. The six bedrooms and seven baths include a master suite with its own private balcony and fireplace, sumptuous bath and large paneled walk-in dressing room/closet. There is also an office, a media room, and multiple entertaining venues both inside and out.

Beverly Hills Summit development has been the choice neighborhood for elite entertainers who want a paparazzi-proof location where they can mingle with their peers and their children can play peacefully away from curious onlookers. It has been home to Gwen Stefani, J-Lo, Ariana Grande and Britney. The Biebers were recently seen house hunting there.

If you’re interested in this property then give Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing, Matt and Josh Altman of Douglas Elliman Real Estate a call because they are the Agents currently holding this stunning property.
