With all of the attention at the federal level to righting the housing ship, the Orange County resale market will probably not follow the normal cyclical patterns of the best demand in Spring, followed by a little less demand in the Summer, followed by another drop in the Autumn, followed by the lowest levels of the year during the Holiday market.  Instead, we can probably expect stronger traction with the increased liquidity due to the new loan limits throughout the Spring and Summer.  We very likely can see higher demand numbers at the end of Summer compared to Spring.  This could create a catalyst of "bargain hunters" who will want to feed on the distressed inventory at the end of the year and through the beginning of next year.  Stay tuned, there is more to come!
