Great News for People Who Did Short Sales in 2012 and 2013 in California!
Great news from a letter I just received…
As we anticipated, C.A.R. today received a letter from the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB), obtained by the State Board of Equalization, clarifying that California families who have lost their home in a short sale are not subject to state income tax liability on debt forgiveness “phantom income” they never received in a short sale.
Sales Slowing in Livermore, the Tri-Valley and Bay Area & Across the U.S. A GREAT Time for Buyers to Buy a Home!
As many Sellers who put their home on the market in August hoping to be part of the summer buying frenzy with multiuple offers and over asking price offers are finding out, home sales in Livermore, the Tri-Valley, most of the East Bay Area and across the U.S. are slowing. In some bay area cities, average days on market for active listings is more than 30 days. That is not a bad thing necessarily. It is just a sign that that fall is here, mortgage rates are beginning to rise and hopefully, we will be headed to a more “normal” market and inventory.
How Long Does It Take to Sell A Home in Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin, San Ramon, Danville, and the Tri-Valley California?
The amount of time on market will vary depending upon where the home is located, the type of property, the price point of the listing, and if there are special terms or circumstances of the sale such as owner occupied only, any age or income restrictions, short sale/foreclosure/probate/regular equity sale etc.. Right now, however, the rates are so low that there are far more people trying to buy homes than there are properties that are listed for sale, so there is a housing inventory shortage that is driving up prices. Homes can literally sell before they hit the open market because the listing agent typically has buyers who would love to purchase a home right now that they, themselves have not been able to get them into.
