ORANGE COUNTY REAL ESTATE- NOT AS EASY AS IT LOOKS Just as setting a listing price is ultimately your decision, so is whether to accept an offer.  These days, it can be difficult to decide if an offer is a good one, because there are so many influential factors.  Getting an offer is the first positive step.  Now take a deep breath and consider your options. Are you under pressure to move?  Whether it’s finances, family, or a job transfer, the urgency of your need to move may dictate accepting an offer lower than you had expected. Likewise, how much debt do you still carry on your mortgage?  Unless you are listing under “short sale” terms, you don’t want to accept an offer that’s less than what you owe, so pay close attention to how depreciation and closing costs affect your bottom line... 07/27/2011

Costa Mesa Real Estate News - Costa Mesa Market Report     Originally no more than a way station built by Spanish missionaries, Costa Mesa's first real estate development occurred in the 1880s. This failed to prosper, but Costa Mesa has thrived.    Long time residents may remember when the area was called Fairview and Paularino, but today, the city is a focal point in Orange County with the Orange County Performing Arts Center, South Coast Repertory Theatre and South Coast Plaza as major drawing points. It is hard to believe that Costa Mesa was once nicknamed "Goat Hill" because of its rural flavor.    The modern day Costa Mesa real estate market began as beach bungalows just minutes from the ocean. Even then, Costa Mesa, bordering Newport Beach, captured the best of Newport Beach livin... 07/22/2011
