Buying a Home in Orange County – New Listings and Sold Listings Key

By
Real Estate Agent with Realty One Group - www.FindCARealEstate.com BRE# 01708749
If you are in the market to buy a home in Orange County, having access to both new listings and sold listings is key to your success. For obvious reasons, New Listings are essential so you are alerted to what is available that matches your needs in a given area. Sold Listings are equally important so that you know how much to offer and if it will appraise. Both of these will help guide you in the buying process.

On my website, you can easily access both New Listings and Sold Listings from any of the dedicated Community Pages. The Community Pages offer many “one-click” searches to make searching extremely easy. Some of the more popular one-click searches are for searches by property type, foreclosures and short sales, and various price tiers. When you are starting out your search this type searching is fine and can really help in exploring an area and market. Once you generally know what and where you want to buy, I would highly recommend signing up for New Listing Alerts which will email you new listings that match your search criteria the second they come to market.

The following is a screenshot of a “community page” on my website – this page showcases San Juan Capistrano Real Estate and Community Information. There is a similar page for every community in South Orange County. The Newest Listings are displayed on the same page and there are links to every neighborhood in the community. For those looking to tailor their search you can easily access the Quick Search function in the header of every webpage or use the Advanced Map Search accessed from the “Property Search” main navigation.

Hi Dave -- be able to search by solds is very helpful in determining values.  Of course, having a Realtor such as yourself to explain the differences of those comps is crucial in determining an offer/purchase price for buyers or a listing price for homeowners thinking of selling.

Hi Michael - absolutely agree - active and solds can help a buyer upfront in determining neighborhoods that may work for them but when it gets serious it's time for a full comparative market analysis. All the best, Dave

 

Hi Jon - thanks - love your blog as well - I will cover OC and you Long Beach! Regards Dave

Hey David: You've given me a great idea for my blog for tomorrow. Thank you! Buyers have a tough time searching MLS and understanding what things mean, so it's a really good idea to explain it as well as you have for buyers in Orange County!
