Diamond Bar home prices. They’re everyone’s favorite indicator, and the headlines focus almost exclusively on this one metric. But prices leave much to be desired. They tell nothing about the market’s balance – whether overly saturated or in a competitive bidding environment. Historically-low mortgage rates, rising rents and strong investor activity have helped nudge certain areas and segments into stable or even seller’s market territory. Prices are already rising in some cases but it’s far from universal. At first glance, April looked pretty good but there’s more to it than that.

Months Supply of Inventory decreased 24.4 percent for single-family units and up 36.4 percent for townhouse-condo units. The heavy decrease in the supply of inventory of homes is a big sign that we should be or are in a sellers market as there are less houses to choose from thus increasing the demand for homes.

When monitoring residential real estate activity, it is always important to keep tabs on the overall economy and job growth. Preliminary Q1-2012 GDP growth came in at 2.2 percent, which, while disappointing to some observers and slower than Q4-2011, still signals economic expansion and not contraction. Expedited bank processing and easing lending standards are also encouraging developments.
