Del Webb Market Report - September
Home sales (and values) have been on a strong uptick no only Nationwide, but also at Del Webb, Rancho Mirage, thanks to low interest rates, freer lending standards and a drop in the foreclosure rate.
It's always good news to see our real estate investments go up. I'm happy to report that home values in Rancho Mirage continue to increase= up 36.4% over last year, based on recent reports. The average price of a home in August 2020, was $660,000. The average price in August 2021 was $900,000. (Rancho Mirage has still not recovered as well as other cities in the Coachella Valley, from the pre-recession record highs, which had an average price of $950,000 in 2006. What that tells me, is that Rancho Mirage has room to grow and is considered a relative bargain compared to neighboring cities). Inventory remains tight- there was only a 2 week supply of homes available in Rancho Mirage in August 2021, compared to a 4.2 month supply in August of 2020.
Compare what you paid for your house (before upgrades) to the current homes for sale: A few months ago, there was very little new-home inventory at Del Webb- homes sold immediately, often with multiple offers and over asking prices. The buying frenzy has eased up a bit; currently the sales office reports they do have existing inventory available, and new homesites are being released every few weeks.
