March Met Woodland Hills Real Estate Update

 

Hello Fellow Friends and Neighbors,

 

Hope you had a great month of March! The month was a booming month with very strong pricing activity which is good for homeowners. We had one record sale of a 1 bedroom unit that sold for $340k which is a first since 2007. This will be a great comp for any 1 bedroom owners. The Met had its first listing (in recent memory) on the market that came out over $500k last month and it is still on the market. This month I was able to complete a record breaking sale for a 1 bedroom (non-loft) unit. I also have a 2 bedroom unit that is in escrow for a record price that I am working on that will be a great comp for all 2 bedroom owners. Both of these sales broke past previous price barriers which I believe will help our values increase moving forward from a sales and appraisal perspective. This also shows the value of a local agent who specializes in the neighborhood.

 

Inventory is super low right now with buyer’s rushing to every property that comes on the market. I am receiving calls everyday from agents and buyers looking for units at the Met. Properties in the Met are still definitely moving with my listings receiving much activity. Even the traditionally more difficult freeway facing units are selling with two freeway facing units selling this month.

 

I’d recommend anyone who has their unit as a rental property contact me to discuss the market conditions before you decide to rent the property out for another year or sell. I’d love to help you make an informed decision with no pressure or obligation. This is why it is important to consult with someone who is an expert in the complex so you don’t waste time on the market at a price that the market will not respond to. I can also advise on what improvements can net you the best ROI when it comes time to sell.

Many properties are still moving very quickly in the Met with my listings having a lot of buyer activity and some even selling before going on the market for record prices. I know of many buyers looking right now and the low inventory is creating high demand of high quality buyers. It may be a good time to consider selling for anyone thinking about taking their equity and purchasing a new home either to get more space or shorten your commute. There are still many opportunities out there for anyone looking to move up to a bigger home or move closer to shorten your commute. Now is the time to get some of the best prices of the year if you are looking to purchase a new home. The information below compares the Real Estate Activity of March 2018 to February 2018 as reported by the Southland Regional Association of Realtors MLS.

Hiring Kevin McDonald to conduct a sale of my 1 bd / 1 ba condo in the Warner Center of Woodland Hills was the best decision!  It is not often you come across a realtor like Kevin who is kind, respectful, communicates well. Kevin is intimately familiar with the market conditions and potential buyer network enabling him to sell my condo at a record price!  If you are looking to sell your property I highly recommend Kevin and will be sure to reach out to him for my next sale. Thanks, Kevin!
