San Fernando Valley active inventory is higher than at any point in the past two years, and the sales volume is below the last two years. Even though property values are still appreciating, it is at a much lower level than we’ve seen over the past 3 years. The supply and demand ratio conveys that the market has changed from a seller’s market to one that is balanced. An attractive well priced property can still realize multiple offers. An over priced property, or one that has issues, will sit on the market, and require price reductions to realize interest. Interest rates are still attractive, but the affordability has dropped substantially because of the last few years of appreciation, and the tighter loan underwriting parameters from the Dodd Frank Regulations.
