Clovis Homes Undervalued?

CNN Money Clovis Real Estate

Clovis Home Values

In 2006, CNNMoney.com published a ranking of 299 U.S. housing markets to identify where home prices were most overvalued.  Back then, at the height of the Clovis real estate market, little was undervalued.  In fact, real estate was white-hot and Clovis home prices were at or near what came to be their peak values.

Now, 4 years after Clovis home prices reached their top values, CNNMoney looked at 330 metro areas to see what’s happened to home prices.   The results for Fresno and Clovis may surprise you. Read the rest of this entry »

4 Reasons to Sell Your Clovis Home Now

Clovis Real Estate sign

Selling a Home in Clovis

Selling a Clovis home in this down Clovis real estate market can seem like a challenge.  But here’s 4 reasons why it’s actually a good time to sell your Clovis home:

  1. Sell low and buy low. Because all Clovis property values are down, the loss on the the home you sells is really only a paper loss because the next property you buy will be a bargain. When prices come back up in a few years, you may actually be in much better shape – with an even better investment.
  2. Down-payment help is widely available. While zero-down loans have disappeared, it is easy to find down-payment assistance. Just contact Kathy Tuck at iMortgage (559-284-4020) or Dru Scott at All-Access California (559-314-5363) and they’ll be able to tell you what down payment, mortgage programs, and mortgage rates are available.
  3. Uncle Sam is giving away money. If you buy a new home before April 31st, you could qualify for $6,500 move-up credit.  Learn more.
  4. Good help is available. We specialize in selling Clovis homes.  We have over 75 Clovis buyers looking for Clovis homes right now.  We’ll get your home on the market and then line up a Clovis buyer to sell your Clovis home quickly and for the best possible price.  Contact us.

Clovis Real Estate Market Data

Clovis Real Estate Market ReportIf you’re looking to buy or sell a Clovis home in 2010 you undoubtedly have read or heard a lot about the Clovis real estate market.  It’s no secret that Clovis homes have fallen in value over the past several years.  So should you continue to wait to sell or buy a Clovis home, or is the worst over?   Rather than give you our professional opinion this time, we thought we’d present you with some housing facts and let you be the judge.

Sold homes in Fresno County the last 5 years:

  • 2010:             ?
  • 2009:         9,328
  • 2008:         6,781
  • 2007:         4,865
  • 2006:         6,503
  • 2005:         8,997

As the data above indicates, when the market was at its peak in 2005 — nearly 9000 homes were sold in Fresno County. Back then, if a Clovis home was listed it pretty much sold.  Surprisingly, despite the recent real estate woes in Clovis and Fresno, in 2009 more homes were sold than when the market was at its peak.  In fact, buying Clovis homes priced under $250,000 is increasingly difficult because of the competition from investors and other Clovis buyers (we wrote about this in our article:  Clovis Foreclosures – Why They’re Selling So Fast).  In other words, the number of sold Clovis homes in 2009 and Fresno County is overwhelming evidence that if Clovis homes are priced right, they will sell. What this data doesn’t show, however, is that while Clovis homes sales are strong, Clovis home prices continue to fall. Read the rest of this entry »

Foreclosure Process for Clovis Homes

Overview of the Clovis Foreclosure Process

Clovis foreclosure realtor, clovis shortsale realtor, clovis short sale realtor

If you’re struggling to make your mortgage payments on your Clovis home, you’re not alone. One of the most important things you can do is understand the foreclosure process in Clovis. Here’s a brief overview of the foreclosure process for Clovis homes to help you do just that:

When you bought your Clovis home it probably involved a “deed of trust,” which by its legal definition involves 3 parties:

  1. Trustor (Clovis homeowner / borrower),
  2. Beneficiary (lender / bank), and
  3. Trustee (a neutral 3rd party receiving the right to foreclose).

The deed of trust usually includes a “power of sale” clause that gives the neutral 3rd party the legal right to enforce collection of the debt. Collection of the debt is ultimately enforced by lender / bank’s right to sell the Clovis home when the Clovis homeowner / borrower fails to make their mortgage payments.

Defaulting on one’s loan causes the start of “foreclosure”, the process by which the lender / bank takes over a Clovis home in order to recover their principal investment (remember, your Clovis home is still the bank’s until you pay it off fully). Once the Clovis home is either sold at auction or “repossessed” by the lender / bank, the former Clovis home owner must vacate at the discretion of the new owner.

When there is a power of sale clause in the deed of trust the non-judicial process of foreclosure is used. In a non-judicial foreclosure, the neutral 3rd party (trustee) must meet a few requirements before it sells the Clovis home. In comparison to a Judicial foreclosure, Non-judicial foreclosures are quick (it takes a minimum of 120 days or 4 months) because the trustee does not have to obtain a court order to foreclose, nor is court supervision required in order to sell the house, as is required in the judicial foreclosure process. The judicial process of foreclosure is used when a power of sale clause is not in the deed of trust.

In California, the time-line of non-judicial foreclosure begins when the trustee files a notice of default. This is a letter which is sent to the Clovis homeowner notifying him or her of their default of the loan. This notifies the Clovis owner of the intent of the lender / bank to follow through on their right to collect on the debt. The copy of the notice, which is recorded at the County Recorders Office in Fresno, is mailed to the Clovis home address. Recording of the notice of default occurs next and can take anywhere from 1 week to 3 or more months after a Clovis homeowner misses their first mortgage payment.

The next step is the filing of the Notice of Trustee’s Sale. No sooner than 90 days after the trustee records the Notice of Default, the Trustee must publish a notice of trustee’s sale in the Fresno Bee and simultaneously file that notice with the Fresno County recorder’s office.  Then, no sooner than 20 days after the notice of trustee sale is filed, the Clovis home may be sold at public auction for the amount of the debt plus foreclosure costs.  If no one bids at the auction, the lender / bank assumes ownership of the Clovis home and may sell it to recover their cash investment.

Clovis Foreclosure Help

If you’re struggling to make your mortgage payments, we strongly recommend that you consult an attorney and Clovis Realtor to discuss your options.  Clovis foreclosures have a damaging effect on your credit for a period of at least seven years.  The earlier you can address the situation, the better the overall result will be regardless of the outcome.  We’re happy to address any real estate questions you may have if you’re facing a foreclosure.  Just fill out the form below and we’ll point out what your options are and answer any questions you may have.

Clovis Homes – Future Home Values

Clovis homeownersNow that 2009 is behind us, it’s time to look at 2010 and beyond for the value of Clovis homes.

The California Association of Realtors’ (CAR) has released its 2010 California Housing Market Forecast and projects the 2010 median home price in California will rise 3.3% to $280,000.  In other words, if CAR is right, the median price of Clovis homes (which was $238,000 in 2009) will increase to $245,854.  Why is CAR so optimistic?

  • According to CAR’s Vice President and Chief Economist Leslie Appleton-Young, unlike the rest of the nation, home sales in California already bottomed out, and the median home price hit bottom last year in February.
  • Over the last 40 years, CA homeowners who purchase and live in their home for at least 5 years, have averaged an annual rate of return of nearly 12%. That means a Clovis home purchased at today’s median price of $238,000 would be worth a whopping $739,191 in 10 years if CAR is right and the past repeats itself.  Click here for a home appreciation calculator.

Clovis Homes – 2009 Market Report

Clovis CA Homes for Sale Real Estate Market Report

Clovis Homes 2009 Market Report

It’s been a topsy-turvy year in Clovis real estateClovis foreclosures and Clovis homes priced under $250,000 sold practically overnight, whereas homes $400,000 and above took months to sell (if they sold at all).  Below is Clovis Real Estate’s Clovis Homes Annual Market Report for 2009.  We suspect several Clovis home statistics may suprise you.  Some even suprised us.

Clovis Homes Market Summary

The median Clovis home sold in 2009 looked like this: 

  • 3 bedroom 2 bath
  • 1880 sq. ft. 
  • $239,900 (listing price)
  • $238,000 (sales price)
  • 47 days to sell

What was the most expensive Clovis home sold in 2009?  A 6 bedroom, 7 bath, 9,195 sq. ft. Clovis luxury home that sold for $2.3 million.  And what about the least expensive Clovis home sold in 2009?  A 1 bedroom, 1 bath, 573 sq. ft. Clovis home that sold for $4,800.

Clovis Homes for Sale

The number of Clovis homes for sale compared to last year is up slightly. A year ago, there were 351 homes for sale in Clovis.  Today, there are 371 Clovis homes for sale.  How many Clovis homes will sell in 2010?  If it’s anything like last year, it will be another banner year for Clovis home sales.  A whopping 1335 Clovis homes were sold in 2009.

This is a bit of good news for both Clovis buyers and Clovis home sellers.  There’s still an ample supply of Clovis homes for sale which means Clovis buyers are still in the driver’s seat and have plenty of Clovis homes to choose from.  However, an average of 3.6 Clovis homes sold every day in 2009.  In fact, if a Clovis home is priced well, it will sell – and very quickly.  For example, 44% of Clovis homes sold within 30 days in 2009.  That’s a positive sign if you’re thinking about selling your Clovis home.  But if you don’t price your Clovis home correctly, your Clovis home will sit on the market and decrease in value very quickly.  Overpriced Clovis homes don’t sell in any market, much less the current bargain-driven Clovis market. 

Number of Days to Sell a Clovis Home in 2009

  • 30 days or less:  44%
  • 31 – 60 days:  19%
  • 61 – 90 days:  11.75%
  • 91 days + :  25%

Clovis Home Prices Drop in 2009

Not surprisingly, Clovis home prices have decreased 8.9% from a year ago, to a median Clovis home sales price of $238,000.  It’s still too early to tell whether Clovis home prices have bottomed out.  However, the worst appears to be behind us.  Clovis home prices have increased month-to-month since early summer (e.g., prices increased 1.5% from September to October).  Barring another collapse in the economy, we could see the first Clovis homes price gains in several years in mid-2010.  Keep an eye on interest rates and the jobs report over the next several months, that data will go a long way in determining the status of the Clovis housing market.  

 Clovis Homes Sales Price – 2009 Month-by-Month Clovis Homes prices

Clovis Homes Selling Faster

Clovis homes are starting to sell faster.  On average, 63% of Clovis homes sold within 60 days.  Bargain-priced Clovis homes sold even faster.  For example, most Clovis foreclosures sold in just a few days as buyers and investors swarmed over these bargain-priced homes.  There’s no reason to suspect it will be any different in 2010. 

2010 Clovis buyers can learn this from 2009 buyers:  Clovis foreclosures and any Clovis home priced under $250,000 will typically receive multiple-offers (some as many as 15 to 20 offers).  In fact, Clovis home buyers looking in this price range should expect to pay the asking price or slightly above the listing price since there are so many buyers in this price point.  You can still get a bargain-priced Clovis home, just don’t expect to buy a Clovis home priced $250,000 for less for less than the asking price.

Clovis Homes in 2010

There are currently 371 Clovis homes for sale, including 878 Clovis homes in the pre-foreclosure, auction, or bank-owned stages of the foreclosure process.  The current average listing price for Clovis homes is $377,444.

Clovis Homes Market Summary

Until Clovis home prices begin to increase again, it’s still a Clovis buyer’s market.  Nothing indicates this will change in the first few months of 2010. Plus, banks are still holding onto a number of foreclosed Clovis homes and depending on when (and if) they release them, the Clovis real estate market will remain soft.

What does all of this mean to you? If you’re thinking of buying a Clovis home in 2010, low prices, great interest rates, and thousands of dollars in tax incentives still make this a great time to buy.  If find a Clovis home you love and it’s well-priced, our advice is to buy.  Clovis home prices and interest rates are expected to increase in 2010.  So don’t wait too long and miss out on what some experts are calling the best time to buy a Clovis home in the past 20 years.

Selling your Clovis home is still a challenge, but if it’s priced right and marketed well there are plenty of Clovis buyers out there. The 1335 sold Clovis homes last year proves that.
