costa mesa agent: The Pressure Cooker on Orange County California Real Estate! - 02/05/10 01:14 PM
 

Phew!  After four years of declining home sales, the numbers appear to be finally turning back upward, with closed sales and pending contracts at above-normal increases.  In particular, first-time buyers helped buoy the market by taking advantage of low prices and interest rates, as well as the $8,000 tax credit offered by the federal government.
At least for now, home prices remain attractively low, and mortgage payments as they relate to income are very comfortable.  All the information seems to point to the fact that home prices have actually overcorrected downward.  What does that mean?  It indicates that many … (0 comments)

costa mesa agent: PAUSE FOR THE PAWS - 10/15/09 10:42 PM

With millions of dogs and cats as members of American families, there's a good chance that you've got pets sharing the home you're trying to sell.  Since not everyone enjoys the company of animals, there are some measures you should consider taking before prospective buyers come over for a showing.
Pet odors are the biggest problem sellers face, but they can be easily minimized with thorough cleaning and vacuuming, and vigilant duty with the litter boxes.  Black lights are available that help you to pinpoint the origin of any mysterious smells.  It also makes a good impression if you pick … (0 comments)

costa mesa agent: Update on the Federal Reserve Meeting - 09/24/09 12:02 AM

Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in August suggests that economic activity has picked up following its severe downturn.  Conditions in financial markets have improved further, and activity in the housing sector has increased.  Household spending seems to be stabilizing, but remains constrained by ongoing job losses, sluggish income growth, lower housing wealth, and tight credit.  Businesses are still cutting back on fixed investment and staffing, though at a slower pace; they continue to make progress in bringing inventory stocks into better alignment with sales.  Although economic activity is likely to remain weak for a time, the … (1 comments)

costa mesa agent: IT’S NO MYSTERY - 08/08/09 12:25 PM
 
You don't need a crystal ball to try to predict the future of the real estate market.  Every time there is a downturn, an upward trend always follows.  The best course of action is to look at the causes, and make decisions based on unbiased facts and incontestable history.
As the choice of loan options grew these last few years, consumers could buy a home more easily.  Wall Street took notice of all the hot action in real estate, and investment firms were able to shift the ownership of mortgages to their managers and clients.
Then about three years ago, … (1 comments)

costa mesa agent: RAISE THE CURTAINS - 07/29/09 07:40 PM

If you're selling in anything other than a hot market, you might find "staging" your home can help generate more interest and offers.  You needn't spend thousands of dollars on improvements or professional consultants, however.  There are several things you can take into your own hands to improve your home's appeal.
Begin by removing scatter rugs and knickknacks, which can clutter a room.  In the kitchen, remove all appliances from the counters except the coffee maker and microwave.  Set your dining table in a welcoming fashion, with plates, flatware and napkins.
You might be tempted to throw everything into the … (0 comments)

costa mesa agent: New Rules Coming for Good Faith Estimate's! - 07/18/09 12:42 PM

Starting July 30, 2009, if the APR on an initial Good Faith Estimate is no longer accurate (within a 0.125% range) at close of escrow, a lender must generally provide a residential borrower with a new disclosure and a three-day right to rescind before consummating the loan.  REALTORS® are forewarned that, because of this new three-day waiting period, a lender's failure to timely provide corrected disclosures has the potential of delaying funding of the loan and close of escrow.
This new requirement is part of the Mortgage Disclosure Improvement Act (MDIA) implementing new loan procedures to protect borrowers and foster … (0 comments)
