Lakefront Market Statistics for Clear Lake

View of lake IMG_0647

If you’re interested in looking at the sales performance for stick-built Lakefront properties on Clear Lake in Lake County California then take a look at the data comparison that I have prepared for 2015 and 2016 sold lakefront residential property. I removed listings that were improperly listed as lakefront and here is what I found between the past two years. Fewer lakefront homes sold in 2016 than in 2015 but the average price went up slightly. Some areas did better than others. Overall the highest lakefront sales came out of the Buckingham Park Community while the lowest priced Lakefront sales which were mostly small cabins came from Jago Bay and the Eastlake areas. The higher priced luxury homes that had boat-lifts where from Buckingham Park and Paradise Cove areas.

As of January 13th 2017 there are 24 active lakefront homes on the market ranging in price from $185K to $950K.   If you’re happy with a mobile or manufactured home on the lake there are a few of them ranging in price from $155K to $354K.

I have a couple simple search tabs already set up for you to find lakefront property under and over $300,000 on my search page. Look along the right hand side of that page to find the links. Here is a link to jump to the search page http://bit.ly/2jkYE4r

Real Estate Median Sales Price Rises in February 2015

For Release: March 16, 2015

Real Estate Median Sales Price Rises in February

LAKEPORT (March 16) – The Lake County Association of Realtors® (LCAOR) reported that the median sales price of single family residences for Lake County rose from $159,000 in January 2015 to $180,000 in February, a 13.2% increase. Like sales in February 2014 had a median sales price of $162,450 indicating that there was a 10.8% increase when comparing year to year sales.

The number of units selling in February 2015 decreased by 20.4% when compared to February 2014 falling from 54 units in 2014 to 43 units in 2015. With fewer units selling the months of inventory increased from 6.5 to 7.4. In January there were 305 single family residences listed for sale and in February there were 318. It is not uncommon to see fewer units available during the winter months. In 2014 the maximum number of units for sale in any one month was 505 in August and the low was 318 in January.

Distressed sales, homes sold after foreclosure or for less than what was owed, declined slightly from the January percentage, 18.6% from 19.2%. However the decline was significant, 18.6% from 42.6%, when compared to February 2014.

Cash only purchases were down to 18.6% of the sales which is the lowest percentage in a few years. Conversely conventional loans rose to 41.9% of the sales, up from 32.7% in January. USDA loans were the next most common type of loan used with those making up 16.3% of the transactions. USDA loans have qualifying factors such as income and the selling price of the home. Potential buyers should contact a qualified lender to determine if they qualify for this type of loan. All loan types have qualifying factors, but they vary from loan type to loan type.

The median time that a property was on the market increased from 81 days in February 2014 to 118 for the same month in 2015. In January 2015 the median days on market was 112. It is not substantiated but one possible reason for the increased days on market could be that fewer transactions are being purchased with cash and more are being purchased via loans which have a processing time not associated with cash transactions.

“Despite the lower number of sales real estate activity has been on the upswing” stated Yvette Sloan 2015 President of LCAOR. “The next few months will be a good indicator of how the rest of the year will go.”
