What’s Up In Sun Valley Oaks, Roseville?
No Backyards?
The Morgan Creek area homes are some of the nicest, in so far as communities are concerned, in Roseville. Majestic oak trees, homes surrounding the golf course and the amenities are very, very nice.
I remember how exclusive the community was when it first went in. My wife had run into a patient of hers, a lender, who was purchasing out there for speculative reasons in 2004. They purchased with the hope of selling in a couple years, making a pile of money and buying elsewhere.
Last weekend, I showed a home out there on Parkwood Way. Beautiful home, lots of granite, great flooring and the front elevation is really beautiful.
Obviously, because it’s bank owned, the front is dry as a bone and brown. The backyard was
the same and again expected.
What I didn’t anticipate was that the homes, which weren’t for sale and appeared occupied, on either side of this one don’t have backyards installed.
Not even a token plant that looks like it was put there intentionally. Completely brown. Tall weeds. Out of the 7 backyards we could see, only 1 was properly landscaped.
With exception of a random palm tree, which is seen in the picture on the right, that was about it.
This community has association dues of about $130 per month. The MLS says that it covers association management, common areas and the recreation facility. What does the HOA do?
Normally, the homeowners association will police this. They would require homeowners to install landscaping within 60 days of the home being sold or something like that.
Del Webb communities require this and from these pictures, while a pain in the butt to the get it done in conjunction with moving, this might be a policy to be appreciated.
What must this do to the values in this community? I don’t know, regardless of how nice this home is, if I would want to buy a home here. Long term, not having backyards installed could hurt values. I know my buyers were a little shocked by what they saw.
And they didn’t write an offer on this home either.
Now consider that this home sold for $705,000 in 2005. It’s now on the market for $380,000, a sweet 46% discount from the original purchase price. I don’t know that even that discount would entice me to buy this home. Maybe $340,000 would prompt me to make an offer.
And it’s still on the market as of this morning but it’s only been 7 days. In my opinion not much or at worst, they don’t have a policy regarding backyard landscaping which hurts every homeowner in this community.

The up and down nature of home sales throughout Placer County this year has been a story in itself.

In September of 2008, the median sales price was $330,000 while this September the median sales price has declined to $268,000. That seems like a very large decrease in values year over year. Would someone please stick a thumb in the dyke!?

Sales Sluggish In Sun City Roseville
The last two weeks at Sun City Roseville have been a bit sluggish for real estate sales. Only 5 homes have changed hands in the last two weeks. This is not uncommon as folks are on vacation in the summer and buying does tend to be slower in July especially. August and September generally pick up.

Just one home closed last week in Sun City Roseville. I’ve been hearing and seeing the market is stabilizing but we will see what happens. I don’t feel that our market is out of the woods yet despite the good news going around that we are appreciating in resale and that new homes have increased their prices a little.
The homes for sale, in pending sale and homes sold are just about the same at Sun City Roseville with exception to the price. This is very good information in negotiating sales in this great community.

The Sun City Roseville community is just incredible. The way the Del Webb communities retain their value due to the captive audience they attract just adds a “cherry on top” to living in this great community.
Our current market has affected this community as with all markets in the Sacramento/Placer county regions but Del Webb communities are just more resilient to economic downturns than non Del Webb communities.
Sales have been slow this week. Currently, there are 42 homes for sale in Sun City Roseville, 12 sales pending and 2 homes have sold. Here are the sold listings this week:

While Rocklin had a dismal week for closed home sales, Roseville had a much better week. Roseville out performed Rocklin in almost every respect this week both in average sales price and units sold.

Sold price: $290,167
Listing price to sales price percentage: 96.4%
Days on the market: 66 (4 homes significantly impacted this number with much higher than normal days on the market due to over pricing. Take out these three homes and the average days on the market is 36)
