That’s when the increase that we have seen in FHA loan limits, about three years ago, is due to expire. About 670 of the nation’s more than 3,300 counties and county equivalents will be affected by the change, many of them in some of the nation’s most populated areas.

Overview: The Spring market is only in its beginning stages, however, there are positive signs across the board for San Francisco real estate. The current trends in the City show that homes and condos are not languishing on the market as they
used to (approx. 20 days less than early 2011). Home prices
remain stable, condo prices have gone up slightly and the overall consensus in the real estate community is that buyer confidence
is on the rise. (Keep in mind this is not the case for the general
Bay Area.)

Home buyers sitting on the fence wondering if now is the right time to buy should consider five factors when making this decision: Jobs, recent sales activity, construction, mortgage availability, and anecdotal evidence.  Each of these issues can help consumers make the best choice for their situation and financial circumstance.
MAKING SENSE OF THE STORY
Jobs: Although many areas of the country were deeply impacted by the recession, some areas were less affected by job loss.  If employment stability is a concern, prospective buyers should review job-growth data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics at www.bls.gov.  The data provided by the Bureau is approximately one month old and shows the direction of the local economy.
Recent Sales Activity: Housing inventory and sales volume should be taken into consideration while house hunting.  A large inventory of homes with few actual transactions can be a negative indicator.  On the other hand, if inventory is falling and transactions are rising, that is a good sign.  In January, the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®’ Unsold Inventory Index stood at 6.7 months, up from 5 months in December 2010, but down from 5.7 months in January 2010.  The index indicates the number of months needed to deplete the supply of homes on the market at the current sales rate.
Construction: Staying up-to-date on the number of building permits issued for local builders is useful for gauging builder sentiment and the future of housing activity.  The California Building Industry Association recently announced that California homebuilders pulled 2,920 total housing permits in January, registering a 5-percent decline compared with a year ago and a 56-percent decline compared with December.  However, the Construction Industry Research Board is projecting 62,000 total permits will be pulled in 2011, an increase of 38 percent compared with 2010’s total of 44,893 permits.
Mortgage Availability: Home buyers hoping to be approved for a mortgage should monitor local lending patterns.  Following the financial crisis, most national banks tightened lending standards; however, some local banks haven’t been impacted as much as large lenders and are more willing to lend, even for higher-priced homes.
Anecdotal Evidence: Although buyers can access home listings online, one of the best ways to monitor the local housing market is to work with a REALTOR® and gather intelligence using their expertise and guidance.

This Monday, October 18, 2010, at 10:00 a.m., the Public Safety Committee of the Board of Supervisors (Supervisors Chiu, Mirkarimi and Elsbernd), will be hearing a legislative proposal at City Hall in Room 250 to expand the powers of the Health Department. The legislation — “Updating Enforcement and Compliance Procedures for Nuisance” — is sponsored by Supervisor John Avalos and Dr. Rajiv Bhatia from the Health Department, and could mean huge fees for property owners.
 
The legislation is bad for rental housing owners because it will:
Increase the Health Department’s ability to collect administrative costs (a proposed $1,000.00 a day for bedbug violations) and attorney fees. More fines and fees collected from you made payable to the Department of Public Health.
Provide the addition of bed bugs to the list of noxious insects, which will likely cement the City’s efforts to make a landlord strictly liable for bed bugs.
Require registration of buildings and contact information with the Department of Public Health. More paperwork for owners!
Change the way garbage is collected in multistoried buildings.

 Please take the time to attend the hearing on Monday to voice your opposition to this piece of legislation. If you cannot attend the hearing, please call, write or e-mail the following Supervisors to express your opposition to this outrageous attempt to extort more money out of rental housing providers:
Supervisor John Avalos (Author of legislation) 415.554.6975
Supervisor David Chiu (Committee Member) 415.554.7450
Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi (Committee Member) 415.554.7630
Rajiv Bhatia (Health Department) 415.252.3800
