When a Lease Listing Turns Into a Sale in Laguna Niguel

By
Real Estate Agent with Realty One Group - www.FindCARealEstate.com BRE# 01708749

Thanksgiving was a holiday to be thankful for this Laguna Niguel home owner! With her home listed for rent in the Marina Hills neighborhood, we were simply in search of a solid tenant. We now have a solid buyer who saw the home listed for lease, and made a very good offer which was accepted on Thanksgiving Day! There are very few homes for sale in Laguna Niguel at this time, and this buyer was both creative and well prepared to buy a home.

 

Currently, there are only 7 active MLS Listings in Laguna Niguel for 3 bedroom homes under $500,000. This low inventory led this very smart buyer to look at lease listings. Since it was for lease, our buyer was able to view the home(s) and make a very competitive offer - the home is turnkey and looks like a model home which did not hurt. The Buyer provided credit scores, bank statements showing proof of funds, and ultimately made an offer that was compelling enough for the owner to say yes. Offer signed and accepted on Thanksgiving Day and set to close on New Years Eve!

If you are looking to buy a home in Laguna Niguel or the South Orange County area, you may want to take a page out of this buyer's book. With inventories extremely low, it is essential that buyers and their agents be as resourceful as possible to find homes that match their needs and get them under contract - quickly!

David, this is too funny, I too had this same event this past week.   Got an email from the office stating there was a available unit for lease, called the agent, showed my buyer, and we are not U/C!     Whatever works - RIGHT?   Congratulations!

Hi Dave - with low inventory of homes available for sale, savvy buyers and their agents will think beyond the MLS and look at leases(both current and past), expireds and so much more.   Congrats to your (now) seller and the soon-to-be homeowners.
