laguna niguel homes: Where is the OC housing market going? - 04/24/18 01:24 PM
 
Where is the OC housing market going?It is still a great time to buy and take advantage of low-interest rates. FHA is about 4% and conventional about 4.5%. Rates are heading up. It is also a great time to sell because we could be at peak pricing again. 
 
I have seen this before.This market is bolstered by low-interest rates and low inventory. This is a national phenomenon. Empty nesters with locked in low-interest rates are opting to stay put. However, I am seeing more job-related moves as the economy improves.
What I have heard from SF and FLA.I have recently heard from a … (0 comments)

laguna niguel homes: Fall Is A Great Time To Buy or Sell A Home In Orange County - 11/02/15 05:54 AM
Fall is a great time to buy or sell a home in Orange County California.
Homes sell year around, especially in the OC. My clients in Laguna Niguel, Dana Point, Aliso Viejo and Mission Viejo often ask me, "What is the best time to list or buy a home?" We have the good fortune in south Orange County CA of having beautiful weather year around. There is never a bad time to list. Oddly the slowest month of the year in my opinion is August.   Families often want to purchase and be moved, settled in and get in a vacation  before … (1 comments)

laguna niguel homes: Should Home Buyers Trust the Price Per Square Foot Method? - 12/08/14 01:56 PM
Should Home Buyers Trust the Price Per Square Foot Method? Most home buyers have two questions.  The first is, how long has it been on the market? (Will look at that one another day). The second is what is the price per square foot?
How can a mathematical division problem be deceptive? Isn’t it straight forward? Why do I think the price per square foot is sometimes deceptive?
Most people are using price per square foot as a universal factor.  They seem to want all homes to fall within their bracket or they feel the price is out of line. … (3 comments)

laguna niguel homes: Capital Gains Exclusion for Profit on the Sale of a Personal Residence - 11/20/14 07:33 AM
Capital Gains Exclusion for Profit on the  Sale of a Personal Residence
I still find that the public will mix up the terms of the personal exclusion for capital gains and the 1031 income property roll over. Today I am speaking of the personal capital gains exclusion. (Always check with your CPA for confirmation before acting on this information.)
Most sellers realize now that when they sell their personal residence or a second home used for personal residence they can exclude paying capital gain taxes on a certain amount of profit.  After deducting cost of sale items a single person can … (12 comments)

 Open Houses in Rancho Niguel - Laguna Niguel, CA
Open Houses are often a barometer of the housing market. In the spring of 2013 there were few and usually only one time per property. Why, because everything sold the first weekend. With the year over year appreciation at 15 to 20% in Laguna Niguel the summer sellers benefited by the appreciation but buyers were hurt by the sharp increase in interest rates and the market slowed way down. Keep an eye on properties that listed a little too aggressively and are now reduced to a fair market price. When shopping for homes … (0 comments)
