Let’s list high so we have some wiggle room…you know…a little negotiating room
As I reviewed some sold properties for a client, I came across a recent sale that had been on the market for 420 days! It shows as 350 days in the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) but with all the “Hold Do Not Show” and “Pending” days, it took 14 months to get this home sold. This is in an area where a typical market time is 60-90 days. The property was listed at about $1,150,000 and sold just above $1,000,000. For those of you who didn’t know there would … (5 comments)

South Orange County Market on Fire
by John Alesi, REALTOR
The South Orange County, CA market is ablaze in activity with plenty of buyer traffic but low listing inventory.

Low inventory and strong buyer demand has heated this market to the boiling point.

10 Things To Do Before You Sell Your Home In Rancho Santa Margarita
Are you planning on putting your home up for sale? The current market in Orange County California and especially Rancho Santa Margarita, is red hot! Properties are literally flying off the shelf (as if they could fly!) because of continued low interest rates and a critically low inventory level. Most for sale listings I have visited in the past few weeks are getting multiple offers (many that are over asking price) and are opening escrow just after a few days on market.
I am also seeing open houses with 75-100 … (0 comments)

Author Bio: After many years of working in the sales business, I have chosen to dedicate my career to the real estate industry. In more casual terms, I have decided to build my business around helping people fulfill their dreams of home ownership with a very personal touch. Unlike many in this industry who "got their license to play around in real estate", I am committed to giving 100% to each and every customer. Buying or selling your home is a complicated process that requires the knowledge, skills and effort that a part time agent cannot provide. Whether you are buying your first home, moving up because of a growing family, relocating due to a job transfer, seeking that dream estate on the golf course or downsizing in the golden years, I believe it is my obligation to treat everyone with honor and respect and with the highest degree of service and professionalism. Feel free to call me to discuss your real estate needs. I promise that I will take good care of you.
