Market Report for May 2009, Playa Vista, CA.
For those of my readers who are not familiar with Playa Vista, CA, please visit my blog post of earlier (http://activerain.com/blogsview/775995/playa-vista-ca-parks-part-1), This is one of newest planed development in Los Angeles, CA in the past fifty years. Well designed, lots of thought went into the planning and the result a “resounding success”.
What is Playa Vista? By definition it is a mixed development of Luxury Condominiums, Luxury Town homes, Luxury Rentals an affluent blend of young, successful and hip residents. It is a mini city within Los Angeles, less then two miles from the Ocean. This development took twenty years in the making, some of the challenges: Coastal Commission, Nature Preservation Activists, Wetland issues…you get the picture.
Currently there are 50 Active Listings from a low of $355,000.00 for a one bedroom one bath condominium and a high of $1,119,191.00 for a three bedroom two and a half bath.
Pending home sales increase for the third consecutive month. 13 Accepting Backup Offers and 12 are solidly Pending, for a total of 25 units. This is a direct result of the record low mortgage interest rates as well as some benefit now from the first-time buyer tax credit.
We only had 2 Sold units. This is a very interesting number, since there are numerous Units inside the Playa Vista Community that sold directly from the developers; hence the Re-sale Units are competing with the Developers who are offering incentives unheard before.It also shows that Lenders are taking longer to provide loans. Last month there were 7 Pending units, hence five actually did not close.We will see next month there will be obviously more then five sales.
