The Bottom Line -   We saw a continuation of an established trend for Rancho Santa Fe CA homes for sale this past week with 11 luxury homes going into escrow all priced near or below the $3M price point.  What is particularly interesting is the strengthening of certain Rancho Santa Fe golf course and gated communities that we have noticed increasing buyer activity of late.  In particular Fairbanks Ranch homes, Santaluz homes and Rancho Santa Fe The Crosby homes have seen a uptick in escrow activity.  By contrast to these gated communities Rancho Santa Fe Covenant homes have not been targeted as often, mainly because they don't offer the deep discounts created by Rancho Santa Fe foreclosures and short sales.

While Rancho Santa Fe CA homes for sale aren't directly affected by the Federal and State homebuyer tax credits, the overall San Diego real estate market has seen a spike in activity and buyer confidence and this overall sentiment has an indirect affect.  This has helped move inventory, yet the stronger buyer demand has also encouraged banks to seize more foreclosed homes, so we may see more downward pressure on Rancho Santa Fe homes for sale, creating a "perfect storm" with low interest that buyers can take advantage of.

Stay tuned in the next week for community market reports for Rancho Santa Fe Bridges homes, Santaluz homes and Rancho Santa Fe The Crosby homes.

The Bottom Line - The Rancho Santa Fe real estate market update is back!  Apologies for the lapse in over the past 2 months but the volume of both buyer and seller activity for Rancho Santa Fe homes for sale has been so brisk that the consistent updates had to be shelved.  With some new systems in place you can once again plan on consistent weekly updates.

The Rancho Santa Fe home sales and buyer demand continue to follow the patterns of the first several months of the year.  Buyers are still focused on value buys from both equity and distressed sales with Rancho Santa Fe short sales and foreclosures still a factor.  Just this past week there were a few distressed Rancho Santa Fe homes that went into escrow, with another that opened escrow for a second time after falling out due to financing issues.  Though jumbo loans are making steady progress with rates at 15-year lows, buyers are still finding tight credit standards a challenge and so some Rancho Santa Fe home sellers are offering private 2nds as an incentive.  The good news is that until the past few months the growth in the real estate market was limited to the entry level and mid-priced homes in San Diego but over the past 4 months the high end luxury Rancho Santa Fe homes have seen a strong resurgence and their are signs that the recovery at the high end has taken hold.  Much of the long term health of the San Diego luxury home market depends on job growth, but once again there are encouraging signs as the local market has seen gains over the past quarter.

Neighborhoods like Fairbanks Ranch, Santaluz and the Crosby have seen a brisk uptick in sales in 2010 and while this may taper off over the second half of the year the sales levels will be improved over 2009.

The Bottom Line - One week does not a trend make, but the activity in the Rancho Santa Fe real estate market showed some encouraging signs this week.  Four of the six homes that went into escrow had market times less than 50 days, and perhaps more important is the fact that four of the six were priced above $3M.  To this point the high end luxury San Diego homes for sale have languished so there is some reason for optimism when a $4.45M home for sale in the Rancho Santa Fe Covenent sells in just 2 days!  Granted there is still a large inventory of Rancho Santa Fe homes for sale priced above $3M but some movement at this price point is encouraging. 

While the government's effort to prop up the real estate market have mainly only helped the low end of the San Diego real estate market, it has become clear that an overall housing recovery is a priority to the current administration.  One can make a good argument that these efforts (see the latest bailout whispers in a recent Washington Post article) will end up resulting in other issues like inflation, but San Diego home buyers are hearing the message that today presents a unique buying opportunity.  One more encouraging piece of news is that just 2 weeks ago San Diego county was taken off Wells Fargo's "At Risk Market Classification List" - a sign that major banks consider our area to be a safer risk than most.

Rancho Santa Fe MLS Listings on the Market:

The Bottom Line - The trends for the Rancho Santa Fe real estate market continue to point to an area working its way through a slow recovery, marked by opportunistic buyers looking for value properties.  This past week some of the Rancho Santa Fe properties for sale that opened escrow were either short sales, distressed sales or investor owned foreclosure homes.  Neighborhoods like Santaluz continue to see their share of distressed sales, though the inventory continues to drop and this trend is by far the most significant key for a stable recovery.

Homes for sale in Fairbanks Ranch continue to find a ready market of buyers, spurred in part by renovations to the gates in the community that are giving a "facelift" to a Rancho Santa Fe gated community that was already popular with relocation and local luxury homebuyers in San Diego.
