Washington Park Real Estate Video
The first quarter of 2009 saw sales in Washington Park Real Estate slow slightly when compare to the same period in 2008 from 27 units to 25 units. This is not the entire story, however. While overall sales were relatively steady, the mix of sales among the 5-segments we track changed considerably. In addition, the average of the sold prices within the segments dropped while days-on-market increased. Clearly, Washington Park Real Estate is not immune to the economic slowdown.
The origin of our current real estate crisis is composed of several factors:

Although Washington Park Real Estate is not a “sub-prime” zip code, where many of the problem loans were issued, it is seeing the spillover effect. There clearly has been a chilling of buyers’ enthusiasm, even when houses are priced at historically aggressive levels. The largest homes dropped from 6 units sold in 2008 to only 2 units in 2009. The homes of greater than 3000 square feet share of the market dropped from 22% to only 6%.

Within each Washington Park Homes segment the average sold price has also dropped significantly. The larger bungalows saw their prices drop by 16% while the pop-top segment had the greatest decrease, falling by 24%. We moved some less attractive pop-top Washington Park Homes inventory at aggressive discounts.

Not only are we selling less and for lower prices, but the time it takes to market a property is lengthening. It is now taking 129 days, on average, to sell Washington Park Homes, a 59% increase over 2008. The largest houses are really suffering in spite of significant price decreases.

The spread between jumbo loans and conventional loans is not helping our neighborhood real estate market. If one were to assume that a purchaser would use a loan with an 80/20 Loan-to-Value ratio, then the maximum amount of house that qualifies for a conventional loan is $520,000. For values above this, the purchase would have to use a jumbo loan. What this means is that the loan would not conform to the Fannie Mae-Freddie Mac guidelines and, as a result, the borrower will pay 2.5 to 3.0 percentage points more for a loan. For a purchase of a home with a sales price of $650,000 that means $1,000 more for each monthly payment.
