Zip Codes: 92646, 92647, 92648, 92649 People and clients alike keep asking me what’s going on with the market? Is it a good time to buy? Of course all this depends on their situation, but yes, this could be a great time to buy. Interest rates are at historic lows, and home prices have come down to what many people feel are more affordable. Let’s check the facts directly off the MLS.   There were 321 SFR and 201 condo active listings as of November 30, 2011. There were 102 closed sales for both SFR and Condos in November with an average 101 days on the market. How does this compare the same time last year?

Zip Code: 92708 People and clients alike keep asking me what’s going on with the market? Is it a good time to buy? Of course all this depends on their situation, but yes, this could be a great time to buy. Interest rates are their lowest in years, and prices have come down to more affordable levels. Let’s check the facts directly off the MLS. There were 82 SFR and 21 condo active listings as of November 30, 2011. There were 17 closed sales for both SFR and Condos in November with an average 101 days on the market. Last year at this time, there were 24 closed sales with an average of 85 days on the market. It appears that homes are taking longer to sell, which may be the result of many factors. I believe that uncertainty in the economy and employment on shaky footing may be causing reluc...

Just read an article in The OC Register and learned about activity forming right here in Surf City USA. The Occupy OC movement has started in Huntington Beach and while it appears to be a grassroots organization with no leader, it may just be the start of something big. With the summation of nearly 70 people from various parts of the county, people are angry about anything from high unemployment, corporate greed, bailing out the too big to fails, the growing gap between the ultra rich and the poor and just to support the younger generation of America. The demonstrators who refer to themselves as the 99 percent, say Wall Street and the corporations represent 1 percent of America. Let's all remember the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights: Freedom of religion, speech and the press, and ...

I recently wrote my congress members in support of extending the FHA loan limits and preserving equal access to mortgage finance programs act. I was ecstatic that they actually took the time to deeply reflect on what I wrote and write me a well thought out response... Oh well, even if it was an auto responder and sent out to all the other supporters, at least I got some kind of a response. Even though my attempts may amount to nothing, I feel these letters are still worthy of saving as a reminder to myself that I tried to make a difference.     Dear Mr. Adamo : Thank you for writing to express your support for extending existing Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan limits. I appreciate the time you took to write and apologize for the delay in my response. Once again, thank you for ...

In Sept. 2011 there were 642 New Listings in Huntington Beach, 18.3% of which were Short Sales and 7.7% were REOs. There were 128 closed sales reported in Sept. in Huntington Beach of which 16.4% were Short Sales and 11.7% were REOs. In my opinion, closed sales for HB will continue to slow, partly due to owners pulling their listings during the school season, which is typical for this time of year. Of the sales reported for Sept, the average number of days on the market was 96.             Closed Sale Sept in HB- 128 Properties Found   Bedrooms Baths Square Feet List Price LP/SqFt Sale Price SP/SqFt SP/LP SP/OLP DOM Min 1 1 765 $150,900 $129.42 $142,000 $121.78 82.00% 9.00% 0 Avg 3.2 2.50 1809 $599,242 $323.49 $579,226 $313.62 97.00% 92.00% 96 Max 6 5 5000 $2,599,000 $742.57 $2,250,000 ...
