 La Jolla most recently ranked as the most expensive real estate market in the country.
CNN Money.com reports an average four bedroom detached home costs $1,875,000. But actual sales prices during first and second quarter 2006 have actually beat the CNN report. Average home Prices for La Jolla jumped into the $2 million bracket after a January start at $1.7 million. June reports the highest spike in price reporting a $2.9 million average home price, even as mortgage interest rates climbed.
The Federal Reserve has raised the prime interest rate almost one point since the beginning of the year, and first time home buyers in La Jolla seemed to retreat in the first quarter, but the second quarter saw a spike as rates fell once again. Mortgage rates took a downward turn in July that helped spur home buying again across the state. Most economists think the lower interest rate will pull some buyers out of the woodwork.
As interest rates dipped, home prices plunged as well. Prices in July and August dropped from $2.9 million to $2.5 million and then to $2 million.
"With conforming interest rates for fully amortized 30-year loans leveling in the 6% range, this may be an excellent buying-time opportunity for owner-occupied buyers," says realtor Edith Ricketts. "Homes that are priced at market, well staged for sale, and assertively marketed are selling readily."
Home sales during the first and second quarter of 2006 hovered near the 25 unit mark, except the months of April and July. April home sales totaled 40 units sold, while July on ranked 17 homes in escrow. |
