Rancho San Pasqual Market Update For 2011
Rancho San Pasqual Market Update For 2011
Here we are at the end of yet another year. This is always such a good time to take a minute and look back over the year. Looking back over 2011 gives us a chance to really compare it to 2010 and see how the market actually played out. Throughout the year, there are lots of opinions about what the market will do, how interest rates will effect pricing, what short sales and foreclosures will do to the market, etc.. Instead of speculating, sometimes it is better to wait and see what the market actually did. As we look back at 2011, here is what we know for sure ..
1. 35 homes SOLD in 2011. This is down from 2010 when we saw 52 homes sell.
2. The average market time was 92 days in 2011. This is up from 87 days in 2010.
3. The average sale price was $462,283 down slightly from $469,392 in 2010.
4. Homes sold for 96% of their asking price on average in 2011.
What does all this mean? Well, it appears that not much changed from 2010 to 2011. The market appears to have stayed somewhat stable in this particular market area. There were considerably less homes that sold, however, that could be due to the fact that the neighborhood actually saw less short sales and foreclosures in 2011 than it did in 2010. Prices have not dropped much more, leading one to believe that we are still bouncing around the bottom. If you have been waiting for the “bottom” this could possibly be it!
There are currently 6 homes for sale in Rancho San Pasqual. That represents roughly 10% of the entire market. Of the homes on the market the smallest home is 2169 square feet and is listed for $378,000, the largest is 3641 square feet and is listed for $639,000 (click here to see a tour of the home).
Rancho San Pasqual remains a wonderful place to call home. Nestled in the San Pasqual Valley, this gated community of 580 homes offers residents tree lined streets, surrounded by hills covered with avocados, a large community pool, play ground and more! Kids attend the well known San Pasqual Union School District. With low HOA fees and no Mello Roos, this affordable community may be Escondido’s best kept secret!
For more information about living in Rancho San Pasqual call Jennifer today. As a long time resident of the area, Jennifer is happy to share information about the area. If you currently live in Rancho San Pasqual and want to know what your home is worth, a confidential valuation meeting can be scheduled.

Cash is King… or is it?
Cash is King
or is it?
Lately we have been found that we are competing with “cash” buyers m
ore than ever. What does this mean to you if you are not a cash buyer?
We have all been told that “cash is king” and in some respects it is. Having “cash”, especially in a real estate transaction, does definitely have it benefits. For example, cash allows
a buyer to move quickly, close quickly and to buy a home without a loan contingency, or even an appraisal contingency (although I would not ad
vise the latter). Additionally, having cash says quite a bit about the financial strength of the buyer. It is not an easy feat to have that amount of cash and the
buyer should be recognized and appreciated for the determination and accomplishment of having cash.
From a sellers perspective, be it a bank, or a regular home owner, there is a com
fort in selling to a “cash” buyer. That comfort comes from knowing that they will not have hoops to jump though for the new lender or an appraiser. For a seller that wants a quick, smooth escrow, a “cash” buyer can be a great option. But not in all cases….
It is not uncommon for a “cash” buyer to expect financial consideration (i.e lower sale price) for the “benefit” of working with them. In most situations where there are multiple offers, it is rare for the high bidder to be the “cash” buyer. The truth of it is, it is all cash to the seller once escrow closes. With that being said, every seller will have their own threshold for what they are willing to “discount” the home to for the “cash” buyer. Is cash worth $10,000 in sales price? or maybe $30,000, we don’t really know, each seller is different.
From our experience, sellers are not typically willing to sell at a huge discount just for the “cash” buyer. They may give a small financial break to the “cash” buyer, but rarely is it more than 2% of sale price of the house.
For those buyers who are trying to buy a home right now and find themselves up against “cash” buyer, our advise is don’t get frustrated, stay the course, prepare offers that fair and reasonable based on other comparable sales in the neighborhood. Don’t 
get caught up in outbidding the “cash” buyer, just put your best foot forward and then wait! There are other things you can do to make your offer stronger in order to compete with “cash”.
If you find out you are competing with a “cash” buyer, you can shorten your contingency period, increase your earnest money deposit, don’t ask for seller concessions or a home warranty, etc. These are all options, they are not appropriate for everyone, but can be helpful in some cases.
We find that our clients are up against “cash” buyers all the time, we have successfully negotiated many of these through to closing for our clients. If you want to chat with us about the process and how we are able to help many of our buyers, call or email us today, we are happy to help.
