Buyers in Aliso Viejo, this is your opportunity to take advantage of the high rate of foreclosures in Orange County! In the coming months, foreclosures are going to dominate every market in Orange County, and affect housing values in every neighborhood. Throughout the county, there are currently 5954 bank-owned properties, with another 3801 up for auction and 8723 in a state of pre-foreclosure. In Aliso Viejo alone, there are 210 pre-foreclosures, 86 auctions, and 142 REOs, meaning the number of foreclosed properties is only going to increase over the course of this year. What does this mean for you? The high number of foreclosures means a large inventory of properties that banks are eager to sell. In Aliso Viejo, the amount of time it will take to sell this abundance of inventory is 8... 05/05/2008

As of April 2nd, 2008 according to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) the total number of active listings in Aliso Viejo totaled 312 homes (condos, townhomes and single family homes).  This is up 20 homes from February 2008 with a total of 292 homes on the market.  We have seen a nice pick up in Orange County home sales in February and March of 2008.The inventory numbers are holding steady which is a good sign for the market.  The FED cut interest rates by .75 basis points in March.  This will help keep interest rates fairly low as the bond market decides what to do next.  The new conforming loan limits were announced in March.  The new conforming loan limit is now $729,750.  This will definitely help buyers and sellers in the Orange County housing market.  The former conforming rate wa... 04/02/2008

The Aliso Viejo unofficial homes sales count for February 2008 was 33 homes sold for the month. That is equal to homes sold in the month of January 2008.  That is down 38% from the 53 homes that were sold during the month of January 2007. In comparison the highest amount of homes sold in 2007 was in March with a total of 86 homes sold. The lowest month for home sales in 2007 was in January with only 27 homes sold.I feel that March 2008 is going to show more homes sold that in February and January because of the market picking up in February.  I know that March will exceed February sales but I know that it will be under the 86 homes sold in March of 2007.For more great Orange County market insight and industry news visit Laguna Niguel Real Estate or view the Orange County Market Trends a... 03/07/2008

Aliso Viejo active listings of existing homes as of January 30, 2008 is currently at 310.  This is down 33% from the peak of last year of 467 which was at the end of September 2007 but it is also up 9.5% from last January.  The trend will be for this number to grow into the end of the summer.  With the number of home sales trending down due to market conditions it will be interesting to see if we will exceed the last years peek of 467. In comparison to January of 2007, we only had 283 homes in Aliso Viejo on the market a year ago.Seller's need to be realistic and must realize that they must have their homes in top condition, priced strategically and hire an experienced Realtor with and agressive marketing plan to get their home sold in today's market.
