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

Like sales in March 2014 had a median sales price of $155,000 showing a 44.5% increase when comparing year to year sales. Fluctuations in median pricing on a month to month basis can vary widely because of the limited number of sales however the trend has been on the upswing since December of 2014. The median sales price for all of 2014 was $169,000 compared to $175,000 for the first three months of 2015.

 

Fifty two (52) units sold in March compared to 43 in February for a 20.9% increase.

In March 2014 the number of units selling was 51. Inventory levels remained relatively the same at 7.1 months of inventory in March and 7.4 months of inventory in February. The months of inventory in March 2014 was 5.6 indicating that there are more homes available this year than last year.

Mortgage rates moved upward in March, with the 30-year, fixed mortgage interest rate averaging 3.77 percent, up from 3.71 percent in February but down from 4.34 percent in March 2014, according to Freddie Mac. Adjustable-mortgage interest rates also rose in March, averaging 2.46 percent, up from 2.43 percent in February but down from 2.48 percent in March 2014.

 

Distressed sales, homes sold after foreclosure or for less than what was owed, continued to decline falling from 18.6% of the sales in February to 11.5% in March. The decline was more significant, 11.5% from 27.5%, when compared to March 2014.

 

Cash only purchases accounted for 25% of the sales with 42.3% of the sales being financed through conventional loans. These percentages are similar to both February 2015 and March 2014. The median days to sell a home was 116. For all of 2014 the median days to sell was 76.
