costa mesa real estate: It all depends! The foreclosure market and price increases in Costa Mesa California Real Estate! - 02/24/10 09:48 AM

The signals are out there: home sales are picking up and prices are slowly ascending.  However, recovery isn't obvious everywhere yet.  Most markets are still seeing the cheapest homes selling fastest, while mid-range homes are taking longer, and upper-end properties are languishing.
Whether buying or selling, your best strategy in this dynamic marketplace depends on which tier your property sits.  This column will begin by offering advice for that bottom tier of the most affordable homes. My next column will discuss the mid-range market, and then finally we'll get around to those most expensive properties at the top.

costa mesa real estate: 8 Great Reasons Why you Should Short Sale your Home! - 12/24/09 05:21 AM

Reason Number 1 - Because You Can!
Several years ago short sales were unheard of.  Asking a bank to do a short sale would have resulted in a laugh and a click at the other end of the phone.   But banks now realize the scope of the problem.  Heck, even they needed a bail out.  And you may too!  Do you want to be the guy taking all the arrows and holding up the weight of the universe like Charles Atlas, or does it make sense to restructure now while you can.  I guarantee when all of this mess is … (1 comments)

costa mesa real estate: LITTLE STEPS UP TO THE LEAP! - 12/22/09 02:19 AM

As you've already read here, conditions are ripe to become a homeowner, and it's time to determine if you're ready to make the leap.  While the price of the home is the largest factor, don't forget about loan fees and closing costs, which add to your total financed amount. 
Since banks are stricter in their lending, Step One is to polish up your credit report.  A higher score gives you more power when it comes to negotiating terms and interest rates.
Similarly, a larger downpayment will positively affect your mortgage terms and reduce the amount you have to finance.  If … (0 comments)

costa mesa real estate: ALL IN THE FAMILY - 12/04/09 11:08 PM

Many areas of the country are experiencing buyers markets, and current tax laws make this a very attractive time for parents to help their children become homeowners.  Prices and interest rates may never be lower than they are now, so strongly consider this potential investment in your children's future.
As parents, you can provide a significant down payment, free of taxation.  Individuals may gift up to $13,000 per year, so two parents making gifts to their child and spouse can give a total of $52,000 in one year without paying gift tax!
Above and beyond the outright gift, you may … (1 comments)

costa mesa real estate: When are things going to return to normal in real estate? - 11/19/09 07:56 AM
The question on everyone's lips is, "When are things going to return to normal in real estate?"  Well, if the "normal" being referred to is the conditions and shady financial dealings that created the artificially inflated markets of five years ago, then we need to be thinking about redefining "normal."
The bad lending practices of the past are indeed making it more difficult now to secure financing, but try to understand that's not necessarily a bad thing.  Those days of lower standards and easy money led us into this predicament in the first place.  It's good for housing and for the … (2 comments)

costa mesa real estate: DOLLARS VS. DAYS - 11/14/09 01:11 AM
After you've taken step one to decide to sell your home, step two is usually setting your asking price, striving for a balance between generating offers and receiving top dollar.
Your chosen representative will perform a Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) to produce an estimate of your home's "fair market value," or that price that educated buyers will pay based on listings and sales of homes similar to yours.  The agent will not establish the price, but only provide the information you need to make that decision yourself.
In a hot market, you have the advantage, but would still want to avoid … (1 comments)

costa mesa real estate: Tax Credits for Buyers Get Extended and Expanded - 11/12/09 12:14 AM
Tax Credits for Buyers Get Extended and Expanded
The Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009 has extended the tax credit of up to $8,000 for qualified first-time home buyers purchasing a principal residence. It also authorized a tax credit of up to $6,500 for qualified repeat home buyers. 
First Time Buyers 
·  The $8,000 tax credit is for first-time home buyers only. For the tax credit program, the IRS defines a first-time home buyer as someone who has not owned a principal residence during the three-year period prior to the purchase.
·  The tax credit does not have to be … (1 comments)

costa mesa real estate: Myth Busting On Short Sales and Foreclosures! - 10/29/09 09:08 AM

When a homeowner faces default on their mortgage, there may be two options: foreclosure or short sale.  Foreclosure can be devastating, both emotionally and financially.  A short sale, or one in which the lender accepts a selling price less than the amount owed, is a better option for both the lender and the homeowner. 
Regrettably, nearly seven out of ten homeowners proceed through foreclosure without ever listing their home for sale.  This is due largely to perceived myths about the process, and we need to put a few of these misconceptions to rest.
First, homeowners assume the bank would rather … (1 comments)

costa mesa real estate: A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING! - 10/23/09 05:20 PM
 
An article appeared recently in the New York Times that beautifully illustrates the opportunities today's real estate market offers.  A mother working two jobs saved up for a down payment and managed to buy a large home with a pool for $187,000.  Three years ago, that same home had sold for $370,000!
While sellers are still feeling pressure, buyers with stable incomes and good credit histories are beginning to spread a "feel good" vibe throughout the industry.  Conditions have literally never been better for first-time buyers.  Affordability has seldom been higher and interest rates have hardly been lower.  Selection of … (5 comments)
