south: OC Home Supply at 11-Month Low
- 03/27/08 01:53 AM
It would take 7.5 months for buyers to gobble up all the Orange County homes listed for sale last week at the current pace of deals - the lowest level of home inventory since last April, according to market watcher Steve Thomas. Thomas, of Re/Max Real Estate Services in Aliso Viejo, every two weeks calculates "market time," a benchmark of how many months it theoretically takes to sell all the inventory in the local MLS for-sale listings at the current pace of pending deals being made. Thomas' inventory measure was at 6.09 months a year ago. A key reason for the improvement: The … (0 comments)

south: Should We Ignore The Headlines?
- 03/16/08 04:58 AM
From Time Magazine; February 2008 I recently came across this article that summarizes perfectly the current state of the real estate market here in South Orange County. And surprisingly...it has nothing to do with finding steals at 20-30% below market value, bottoming out prices or agents trying to trick their clients into buying when it's not right for them.
