The Average Aliso Viejo Median Sale Price over the last 6 months dropped to $361,367 in June, 2011.  That is down 2% from May, 2011, and 5% from April's $381,542!  Only 9 Homes (10%) sold for $600,000 or more in June!  That will certainly bring down the Median Price!  Properties over $600,000 are having a hard time Closing in Aliso Viejo. Sales Volume shot Up to 90 Sales!  That is Way Over the recent average of 65 Sales.  So Folks are Buying something.  They are just Buying the bottom of the Aliso Viejo Market!  Half of all the Sales in June were below $329,000!

Welcome Home New Aliso Viejo Residents Short Sale Closed and Recorded on Friday, but we gave the Seller time to move out over the weekend before we got the key and started snapshots! Another great transaction, MINUS the HORRIBLE ESCROW OFFICE we used since it was the listing agents coordinator that asked if we could use them instead of ours............ BIG MISTAKE... (I will blog about that issue later....) But let's focus on the Fantastic NEWS!!! YAY! Another Happy Buyer!!! My clients are fabulous!!! I am really lucky to have such great clients. This transaction was a back-up offer and I kept calling to check status and I would even pop a text or an email, just to let the agent know we were still here and very interested still and we were not looking at any other offers!

June 19, 2011 - A Taste of California Aliso Viejo Median Sales Price from DataQuickDec 2010 -  $377,750 - 73 salesJan  2011 -  $348,000 - 55 salesFeb  2011 -  $350,000 - 54 salesMar 2011  -  $395,000 - 83 salesApr  2011  - $406,000 - 65 salesMay 2011  - $342,000 - 81 sales $342,000 is a pretty low Median Sale Price for Aliso Viejo.  So what happened? The big difference is in the $200,000 to $299,999 Price range.  In April 2011, 12 residences closed in this range.  In May, 18 closed in the $200,000s'! - A 50% increase!  That will bring down your Median. Also, in April, 52% of all Aliso Viejo Sales were $400,000 or higher.  In May, only 42% closed at $400,000 or higher.  So more Sales in $200,000s' and less Sales at $400,000 and up is enough to slash the Median Sales Price.  Aliso Viejo f...

"A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman he turns her back again." -- Enid Bagnold "It no longer bothers me that I may be constantly searching for father figures; by this time, I have found several and dearly enjoyed knowing them all." -- Alice Walker "None of you can ever be proud enough of being the child of SUCH a Father who has not his equal in this world-so great, so good, so faultless. Try, all of you, to follow in his footsteps and don't be discouraged, for to be really in everything like him none of you, I am sure, will ever be. Try, therefore, to be like him in some points, and you will have acquired a great deal." -- Victoria, Queen of England "That is the thankless position of the father in the family-the provider for all, and the enem...

Laguna Beach is so lucky to have Bob Barker as an animal rights activist giving our Pacific Marine Mammal Center a LIFE again! ~~ READ ON>>>> Animal rights activist and media celebrity Bob Barker cut the blue ribbon Wednesday, symbolically reopening the Pacific Marine Mammal Centerin Laguna Beach. This was followed by cheers ... and barks ... from those in attendance. The low-lying areas of the PMMC were destroyed by 4 feet of flood water and mud after a terrible stormhit Laguna Beach Dec. 22. Restoring the ruined center seemed hopeless. But, just as members of the PMMC have faith in healing their damaged creatures, Barker showed his faith in mending the center by donating $250,000 in January. With Barker standing nearby, PMMC Board President Jock Stalker addressed the crowd at the entr...
