&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MID-YEAR FORECAST UPDATE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following 13 months of sales below 400,000 homes, sales of existing detached homes in California in the month of May rose to 423,700 units on a seasonally adjusted and annualized basis. This corresponded to a 15.5 percent increase from the April figure of 366,720 homes, and an 18.1 percent year-to-year gain from the May 2007 figure of 358,640 homes. This was the second consecutive year-to-year gain, following a 30-month string of year-to-year percentage decreases that began in October 2005. Home sales now stand 14.6 percent below 2007 sales on a year-to-date basis. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although sales have improved since reaching a low point last October, the median price of a home in California fell by yet another record-setting margin last month. The median price for May was $384,840, declining 4.7 percent from the April median of $403,870 and decreasing by a record 35.3 percent from the May 2007 median of $594,530. This was just the latest in a succession of record year-to-year decreases in recent months, beginning with a 9.9 percent decrease in October of last year that surpassed the previous record-setting 7.2 percent decrease of May 1993. The market has endured a string of unprecedented, ever-larger double-digit percentage declines in the months since October. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This pattern of declines may be explained in part by a set of recent developments in the market. First, all segments of the market have been adversely affected by tighter underwriting standards -- reducing the pool of potential buyers -- and by falling home values that have reduced the purchasing power of repeat buyers. Second, the mix of sales in the market has shifted dramatically since August of last year, with the share of sales under $500,000 climbing from 40 percent last year to 65% in May 2008. Third, homes within that price range have seen large decreases, both because of large numbers of distressed sales (short sales and REOs) and because of tighter underwriting standards as mentioned. Finally, market segments above $500,000 declined in their market share in part because of the liquidity or credit crunch that has cut off funds to the jumbo market to the point where even a qualified home buying household may see funding for its home loan fall through. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C.A.R. released its mid-year forecast update earlier this month. Annual sales for all of 2008 are expected to be 342,300 homes, declining three percent compared to the 2007 annual sales figure of 352,800 homes. Annual sales should bottom out in 2008, with 45 percent peak-to-trough decrease from peak sales of 625,000 sales at its peak in 2005. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a rule, the median price bottoms out at some point after sales reach their low point. The median price for 2008 is expected to decline 28 percent to $402,000 from the 2007 median of $558,100. However, the market must still move large numbers of distressed sales through the pipeline in the coming months, possibly through the first quarter of 2009. This may result in a larger than forecasted year-to-year decline in price by yearend.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img title="Larry &amp;amp; Laurie Weichman" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/7/6/5/9/2/ar121494525029567.jpg" height="127" alt="Larry &amp;amp; Laurie Weichman" width="90" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TIMING ISN'T EVERYTHING!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;In light of declining sales and tougher loan requirements, many potential buyers are asking if they should buy now, or wait several months before moving forward with a decision.&amp;nbsp; The thing is, you can't time the real estate market any more than you can time the stock market.&amp;nbsp; Simply put, the best time to buy is simply when you need to do so.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;Start searching now, targeting your preferred location in&amp;nbsp;your community&amp;nbsp;and getting a sense of the trends.&amp;nbsp; Call me to gauge listing times, list-to-sale ratios, and contract terms.&amp;nbsp; There's no such thing as a "national" market, and every area is going through its own adjustments, up or down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;Now isn't a bad time to begin your loan search as well, to determine how much home you can afford, and to start assembling the required paperwork.&amp;nbsp; If you're not pressured to move right now, securing loan pre-approval will give you the chance to immediately take advantage if an excellent purchase opportunity appears.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;Owners who are pressured to sell for reasons like foreclosure or job relocation may be more willing to negotiate, but if you really love a particular home, don't lose it by haggling over a few thousand dollars.&amp;nbsp; A home is not a stock certificate.&amp;nbsp; In a buyers market, take your time, do your homework, and make the most of it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;Costa Mesa&amp;nbsp;has several homes on the market right now that are available from the low $420,000 range on up to the $700,000.&amp;nbsp; Several programs still exist where you can purchase a home with a down payment as low as 3% of purchase price and in some cases even 1% down can be had!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;We are starting to see over the last 3 months some firming in the prices in the low end of the market.&amp;nbsp; Many properties are experiencing multiple offers and even selling over list price.&amp;nbsp; The next few months will tell if we have hit bottom or if we are experiencing a false bottom.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;I welcome your calls or emails. (714) 241-4532 or &lt;a href="mailto:Larry@TeamWeichman.com"&gt;Larry@TeamWeichman.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IT TAKES MONEY TO SAVE MONEY!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Okay, you've found the home of your dreams.&amp;nbsp; You've determined how much you can afford because you've already been pre-approved by your lender, and your offer has been accepted.&amp;nbsp; But wait.&amp;nbsp; If you're financing the purchase, like almost everyone does, you'll actually be paying more than the final sale price of the home.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many buyers don't stop to think about how much they'll really be paying for their home by the time they've reached the final payment.&amp;nbsp; It's worth considering, and it makes it evident that you should shop around and get the best loan terms possible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Be sure to discuss your options with a trusted local real estate agent, who can provide mortgage information, illustrate different financing options, and even recommend lenders suited to your needs.&amp;nbsp; With literally hundreds, if not thousands, of options available, it's helpful to begin with the basic facts to help you whittle down your choices.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Determine how much is available for a down payment.&amp;nbsp; If you're putting up less than 20%, you'll need a guarantee that often comes in the form of PMI (private mortgage insurance).&amp;nbsp; This will add to the overall cost of your loan, at least until you've paid off a significant percentage.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Again, discuss your loan options with your real estate agent before you make any offers, in order to avoid unpleasant delays and unexpected expenses.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GET SERIOUS!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Familiar with the law of supply and demand?&amp;nbsp; In real estate right now, it may seem like the supply of homes for sale is much greater than the numbers of buyers demanding those homes, forcing prices down and decreasing activity.&amp;nbsp; But what's really in shortage may be serious, legitimate sellers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A committed seller is willing and able to accept the best offer in the current market, and be motivated to do so.&amp;nbsp; Receiving a fair offer is inextricably connected to pricing your home fairly.&amp;nbsp; The best way to arrive at an attractive price is to aggressively challenge the competition.&amp;nbsp; Using past prices, your investment in the home, or even appraisals may not produce the ideal value factor for your home.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you're serious about selling, let an agent describe to you how an appropriately priced and aggressively marketed home will &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;always&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; generate interest and offers, and will ultimately sell for exactly what it's worth in the current market.&amp;nbsp; All other factors being equal, a home that languishes on the market is simply overpriced, and a seller willing to wait for more than fair price would be better served by waiting until the market catches up before entering the fray.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Remember this Golden Rule: There is a buyer for everything.&amp;nbsp; Any home can be sold in any market when proper pricing is combined with effective marketing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You know that real estate agents help you to move.&amp;nbsp; Did you know that agents can also help you stay where you are?&amp;nbsp; This has become quite an issue in light of the recent rise in loan defaults.&amp;nbsp; Real estate agents provide critical information and a link between lenders and buyers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Subprime loans, in and of themselves, are not bad.&amp;nbsp; They provide financing for substantial numbers of people who cannot otherwise qualify under standard lending practices.&amp;nbsp; However, buyers must be informed and realistic about what terms they can actually afford to accept.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No one - not banks, not agents, not homeowners - sees foreclosure as an acceptable option.&amp;nbsp; It hurts everyone, including the communities where vacancies lead to declining prices.&amp;nbsp; This is where a trusted local real estate professional can provide assistance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Real estate agents are advocates for smart lending practices, and they stay in touch with local lenders.&amp;nbsp; Agents also work with state and local governments, as well as local non-profit organizations that can help homeowners facing trouble meeting their mortgage payments.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Perhaps most importantly, realty professionals work closely with buyers to educate them about resources and options.&amp;nbsp; This helps homeowners and prospective buyers keep their homes and build their equity.&amp;nbsp; The key to it all is education and reason, and a strong desire to preserve the quality of our lives and our communities.&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As Published in the Daily Pilot: Friday, May 30, 2008&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Every community has hidden gems. Whether it's a locals-only restaurant, a small park or community event, they are what make every community special.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Usually they are small and out-of-the-way places. In this case, the hidden gem may be out-of-the-way, but at more than 100 acres it is not small. What I am talking about is the Mesa Verde Country Club, which turns 50 this January.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many of the non-golfers in the community confuse it with Costa Mesa Country Club, which is off of Mesa Verde East but just south of Adams Avenue. Mesa Verde Country Club is north of Adams just off Mesa Verde West. You can understand the confusion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The land where the golf course sits was sold in 1956 to investor Adolph Sleceta, who planned to work with the developers Ray Watt and Walter Gaynor to build more housing in Mesa Verde.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Due to terrain and utility issues, however, they could not build homes. They instead decided to fund construction of a golf course and clubhouse. Not so good for them, but lucky for us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the years, the club passed though several corporate owners until 1975 when the members bought it from Japan Golf Promotion for a whopping $2.1 million. Today, even in a down market, many of the homes on the course sell for more than that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The golf course has a very rich history. It has been home to many PGA and LPGA tournaments. It hosted the first Orange County Open, a PGA Tour event in 1959 and continued that event until 1962. Starting in 1979 it hosted LPGA tour events for six consecutive years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This club rates high among golfers. Steve Rhorer, club vice president, avid golfer and Mesa Verde resident, joined in 2000. Prior to that, he had been a longtime member of the Virginia Country Club in Long Beach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I have played every private course in the county and from a pure golfing standpoint; this course is second to none," he told me. "You will use every club in your bag, and with the tree-lined fairways, you better be accurate."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More than 600 local families are associated with the club as golf, tennis or social members. Seventy percent of the families used to be from Costa Mesa. Now it is composed of almost equal parts Costa Mesa, Newport Beach and Huntington Beach residents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I talked with past board member Pete Daley, who joined in 1977. Daley, now residing in Aliso Viejo, lived on the bird streets for more than 20 years. He told me it is a very family-friendly club.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Our three kids went through all the swimming and tennis programs," he said. "The club played a big role throughout their youth."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the past 50 years, Mesa Verde Country Club has been one of those hidden gems that make up Costa Mesa and Newport Beach. It has not just been a place to play golf and tennis, but a place that makes you part of a community. It is where your kids learn how to swim and where you make friendships that last a lifetime.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;READY FOR SOME GOOD NEWS?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Some financial experts have labeled 2007's market as the "roulette economy."&amp;nbsp; As we all know, whatever goes up must come down, but the nice thing about real estate is that whatever goes down always comes back upward again (much like stocks work).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;A healthier market is anticipated in 2008, as Wall Street cleans up the lending mess and the pressure cooker of home demand releases its top.&amp;nbsp; While the national average of home prices declined between one and two percent in 2007, that's peanuts compared to how much homes appreciated in the previous years.&amp;nbsp; And many markets are appreciating still.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Keep in mind that "national" statistics for real estate mean about as much as a forecasted high temperature for the entire nation.&amp;nbsp; Consumers get skittish when they hear that 40% of foreclosures are due to doubtful subprime loans, but it's important to put that in perspective, because those loans only constitute about 10% of all mortgages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;As the lending industry stabilizes and interest rates rise only slightly, buyers who are ready to purchase will discover that housing is still the best investment out there.&amp;nbsp; Ask a real estate agent to monitor new listings, selling times and final sales prices, and then to advise you when conditions are right to either buy or sell.&amp;nbsp; 2008 should be a year of opportunity in the real estate industry.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Larry Weichman is President/ Broker for Costa Mesa based Weichman Realtors. His company has served Costa Mesa since 1976.&amp;nbsp; Please direct your questions to &lt;a href="mailto:Larry@TeamWeichman.com"&gt;Larry@TeamWeichman.com&lt;/a&gt; or call 714-241-4532.

    <title>It  Takes Two To Harmonize!</title>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IT TAKES TWO TO HARMONIZE!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Whether you are buying a home or selling one, it is likely that once an Offer To Purchase is on the table, you'll enter a phase of the transaction called Negotiation.&amp;nbsp; Fear not - this is how both sides "win."&amp;nbsp; By following a few reasonable recommendations, both parties can turn Negotiation into Agreement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;It's best to begin with a fair asking price and a fair offer.&amp;nbsp; Sellers, don't shoot for the moon. Buyers, don't lowball on a home you really want.&amp;nbsp; Overpricing is a turnoff to potential buyers, while low offers may meet with outright rejection.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Next, understand and respect each other's priorities. Seller won't budge on price?&amp;nbsp; Perhaps they would pay more of the transaction fees. Buyer urgently needs quick possession?&amp;nbsp; Perhaps they would forgo some repairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;This illustrates the value of compromise.&amp;nbsp; A win-win situation doesn't necessarily mean that both parties get everything they demand.&amp;nbsp; Avoid emotional decisions and be open to concessions.&amp;nbsp; If you can't agree on a particular term, try meeting in the middle.&amp;nbsp; Who will pay closing costs?&amp;nbsp; Who will pay for cosmetic repairs?&amp;nbsp; You needn't hold up the entire agreement when you can simply split the difference on certain terms and move forward.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How much home can you afford?&amp;nbsp; How do you even begin to find the answer to that question?&amp;nbsp; You&amp;#39;ve probably heard terms like &amp;quot;pre-approval&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;pre-qualification&amp;quot; tossed around, but do you understand the critical difference between those two?&amp;nbsp; If your answer is &amp;quot;no,&amp;quot; then please read on to avoid major disappointment when you make your offer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Pre-qualification&amp;quot; is a fine place to start, but if you&amp;#39;re really serious about the time and money you&amp;#39;re going to invest in purchasing a home, you&amp;#39;ll really want to focus on &amp;quot;pre-approval.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; Approval, and not just qualification, is secured when you complete and submit a loan application, along with the appropriate documentation and fees.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The lender will review your application and paperwork, and will notify you of just how much financing you can secure.&amp;nbsp; Only then will you have the confidence to make your home choice and make your offer.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A pre-qualification, on the other hand, is more informal, and only an estimate of the funds for which you might qualify after applying for a loan.&amp;nbsp; You might make an offer with pre-qualification in hand, but it&amp;#39;s no guarantee that your loan application will be accepted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The seller&amp;#39;s representative will have educated the seller about this critical difference, so make them an offer they can&amp;#39;t refuse!&amp;nbsp; Pre-approval puts you in the driver&amp;#39;s seat, so get ready to move!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Larry Weichman is President/ Broker for Costa Mesa based Weichman Realtors.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Four forms of protection&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.ocregister.com/newsimages/community/costamesa_newport/columnists/weichman.mug.jpg" border="0" height="100" align="left" alt="REALTOR&amp;#39;S CORNER" width="80" /&gt; REALTOR&amp;#39;S CORNER LARRY WEICHMAN&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you purchase an automobile, what&amp;#39;s the first thing you take care of before driving around town? You&amp;#39;ve got to get insurance, of course. It&amp;#39;s no different when you&amp;#39;re ready to buy a home, but you have some more options.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First, understand that there are four basic types of insurance, some required, some not. Title insurance protects you in the event that title to the property is found to be in question. You definitely want to purchase title insurance as part of the closing transaction.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Homeowner&amp;#39;s insurance provides coverage in cases of theft, damage and liability. Your lender will require this policy, so this is another absolute necessity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Flood insurance may be required, depending on the location of your new home. The federal government provides this policy to cover replacement value of the home and its contents. Consult with a local real estate agent to determine necessity and restrictions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally, a newer and very popular form of &amp;quot;insurance&amp;quot; is the home warranty, often provided by the seller as peace of mind for the buyer. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are often one-year policies that cover repairs to systems and appliances, and more details on this are coming up in my next column. In the meantime, consult with a real estate agent if you have any questions or concerns about any of the insurance policies addressed here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Larry Weichman is president/broker for Costa Mesa-based Weichman Realtors.
