Fusion South Bay Real Estate and Homes for Sale

The Weather May Be Hot, But the Fusion Real Estate Market is Not

by

While we should be seeing numerous homes in Fusion come on the market each month in the summer….that’s not the case.

What should be a pretty ideal time to list homes for sale given the weather and the season seems to be a big dud so far. Normally we see a good number of new listings in Fusion during summer. Whether people are just in town on vacation, looking for homes in the Wiseburn School District so they can enroll their kids before September, or just realizing it’s cooler near the beach, summer is usually a busy season.

Not this year with almost no homes currently on the market. There are currently 2 homes in escrow and a third “H” floorplan was just pulled off of the market after 71 days on the market. Just today a new listing finally came available priced at $699,000 which is the smallest “A” floorplan.

Here’s to hoping the market picks up and gets hot….like the weather finally has.

First Quarter Recap – Home Sales in Fusion Through March

by

It’s been a slow year so far in Fusion with only 4 properties on the market in 2019 thus far.  Currently there is only one active listing at 5403 149th Pl #4 which has been on the market since mid January.  It’s a beautiful home but a challenge to get in for a tour which is partially responsible for the long time on the market.

Currently one home is in escrow at 5406 #18 which is a 2 bedroom C floorplan that had been on the market for a while.

The only other activity for the year were two sales that have thus far closed in 2019.  Both were 3 bedroom J units which are normally very rare but seemed to be a wave of them in 2018 early 2019.  The home at 5512 W 149th Place Unit #11 sold off market in January (and was quickly rented out) but had been on the market in and out of escrow in 2018. The home at 5402 W 149th Place Unit#12 sold after one week. It was listed at $829,000 and sold at $820,000. It was a nicely upgraded unit but location was a bit of a challenge with views of the electrical substation.

5406 W 149th Place #18 – C Floorplan for Sale in Fusion for $735

**udate – as of 3/5/19 this home is now in escrow**
We’ve written quite a bit about the C floorplan currently for sale in the 5406 #18 as it’s surprising to see it still on the market.  The
C floorplan is fairly rare and the appeal generally lies in the fact that it’s significantly bigger than the smallest A and B units (around 1,000 square feet), and it offers a 2 car attached garage (A and B units have a 1 car detached garage)  My clients feedback indicates that the floorplan isn’t one of the preferred but again given the size difference between this and the smaller units it’s surprising to see it still on the market.  It certainly appears to be an indication of a slowing market in a community that was white hot in 2018.

We’ve written quite a bit about the E floorplan currently for sale in the 5403 #4 as it’s surprising to see it still on the market.  The E floorplan is one of the most popular in the community and with the last sale being well over $800,000 it’s hard to see why this home is still for sale.  It certainly appears to be a cooling of the real estate market in Fusion South Bay.  The 5403 #4 home is one of the larger 2 bedroom layouts with around 1,400 square feet*

So How Do You Find Out About Fusion Listings Before They Hit the Market?

by

Many buyers are interested in finding out about listings before they hit the market…or even better….listings that won’t be coming on the market.  The advantages are obvious and knowing about homes before others can be a tremendous help when searching for a home in a seller’s market.

So how do you find out about these “off market” or “pocket” listings?

Choosing a realtor that specializes in the Fusion community and has a deep network of both owners and realtors is critical.   It’s also critical to work with an agent that is contantly reaching out to those owners and agent to get information not readily available.  We pride ourselves on being top agents in both the Fusion and  360 communities.  We often hear of listings that never make it to the MLS.

For buyers the key is not only to work with a realtor that may know of off market listings, but being ready if the right home comes along.  Unfortunately off market listings don’t stay off market for long, so being ready in terms of loan approval, finances, etc. is an important step.

We are happy to provide our clients with the information we get through our networks but we can only do this for our exclusive clients (not working with another agent) and home buyers that are ready and eager to find that perfect home.  If you would like our help contact us or fill in our Fusion listing alert request page and let us know you are interested in off market listings.
