Yo, Adrian! Sly's Desert Estate is Back on the Market

shutterstock_125380139Sylvester Stallone and wife Jennifer Flavin may be walking a lot of red carpets soon, thanks to Stallone’s Golden Globe-nominated role in the movie “Creed” - but they still want to walk away from their luxury desert retreat.

Listed in November 2014 and removed in July 2015, the La Quinta home is back on the market, this time for $4.2 million, the Los Angeles Times reports.

The Hollywood couple bought the Mediterranean-style villa in 2010 for $4.5 million.

This is clearly one home where the “Rocky” creator won’t be stashing any trophies he brings home this awards season.

The listing agent is Josh Reef of the Hurwitz James Company.

Top Reason to List Your House For Sale Now!: If you are...



Top Reason to List Your House For Sale Now!:

If you are debating listing your house for sale this year, here is the #1 reason not to wait!

Buyer Demand Continues to Outpace the Supply of Homes For Sale

The National Association of REALTORS’ (NAR) Chief Economist, Lawrence Yun recently commented on the inventory shortage:

“While feedback from REALTORS® continues to suggest healthy levels of buyer interest, available listings that are move-in ready and in affordable price ranges remain hard to come by for many would-be buyers.”

The latest Existing Home Sales Report shows that there is currently a 5.1-month supply of homes for sale. This remains lower than the 6-month supply necessary for a normal market and well below November 2014 numbers.

The chart below details the year-over-year inventory shortages experienced in 2015:

Anything less than a six-month supply is considered a “Seller’s Market”.

Bottom Line

Meet with a local real estate professional who can show you the supply conditions in your neighborhood and assist you in gaining access to the buyers who are ready, willing and able to buy now! http://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/2016/01/04/top-reason-to-list-your-house-for-sale-now/?a=242769-4eb2112ad1caac540e99a63dd199d5ed ❤️ #share #mortgage
