Irvine CA Real Estate – Resale Market Gets Faster

IRVINE CA REAL ESTATE UPDATE 

Irvine CA real estate - home resale market – got faster by 40 percent in a year – according to Steven Thomas at www.ReportsOnHousing.com.  

As of March 15, 2012, Irvine had 538 homes listed for sale on the MLS multiple listing service system. 

Irvine then had 261 new deals opened in the past 30 days.  According to Thomas, Irvine had "market time" – months it would take to sell all inventory at that pace of new escrows – of 2.06 months vs. 3.44 months seen one year earlier.  

121 of the Irvine CA homes listed were either foreclosures being resold or short sales, where sellers owe more than the home's value – so distressed properties were 22.5% of supply of homes for sale. 

Irvine homes for sale made up about 7.7 percent of all Orange County CA number of homes for sale.

373 Irvine homes have resold so far this year 2012 – with average sold price of $639,157 – average market time of 104 days.

Water-Conserving Plumbing Fixtures Must be Disclosed by California Home Sellers

SELLER DISCLOSURE OBLIGATIONS

California government has favored consumers for years and has a number of laws on seller disclosures to protect home buyers.

New CA law - CA Senate Bill 837 – says that home sellers must disclose to buyers whether there are water-conserving plumbing fixtures.

The TRANSFER DISCLOSURE STATEMENT (form provided by California Association of REALTORs) has been revised to include checkbox in Section IIA for a seller to disclose whether the property has water-conserving plumbing fixtures (low-flow toilets, shower heads, and faucets).

 drippy water faucet

This revised transfer disclosure statement (TDS) also clarifies in Section IIB that, by January 1, 2017, a single family residence built on or before January 1, 1994 must generally be equipped with water-conserving plumbing fixtures.

In other words – starting as of January 1, 2017 – any California home built before January 1, 1994, will require water-conserving plumbing fixtures as a point of sale mandate.

If, however, the single-family residence is altered or improved on or after January 1, 2014, the water-conserving plumbing fixtures must be a condition of final permit approval. CA REAL ESTATE LAW

CA Senate Bill 837 was chaptered as state law and codified as Cal. Civil Code § 1102.6 – became effective on January 1, 2012.
