Man Up     I'm not sure what else to title this post! Why are people so afraid to talk about the truth of a situation? As a Laguna Beach Real Estate Broker, I see it all the time. There are agents who hound me day and night when they want an offer accepted or written, then disappear in the middle of the transaction when we have a road block. Do they think it's going to just go away? They do not know how or when to speak the truth to power, in this case that's their clients.  Once we have an opened escrow we know one thing for sure....both the buyer and the seller want to conclude the transaction. They probably each have the same incentive to work through issues that come up. When the problem is ignored, it will grow. And when it grows it can become very hard to overcome. Recently I clo... 05/03/2014

The Pulse of the Housing Market in Orange County - Update - Ask a Realtor In August 2013 I posted about what I thought the local OC real estate market was really like in response to a newspaper article. Newspaper writers follow important statistical releases from NAR and Case-Shiller home price index. The problem is two fold for the news writers. First the reports that they look at are usually 45 to 60 days old. Secondly they like to point out "year over year" statistics. Search Laguna Niguel and Dana Point Homes here. A local Realtor like myself, is working in the field every day and getting the pulse of the buyers and staying in touch with the current interest rates and listing inventory. We usually know when the market changes within a few days if not a couple of weeks. Case in point... 05/01/2014

“Steady as she goes!”… or Market Uncertainty? Orange County CA Real Estate Market Update:  “My crystal ball is cloudy”.  It has been cloudy since the crash of 2007 or maybe even since the craziness that started in the hot market of 2006. Right this minute sales in my local SoCal real estate market seem quieter than they should. I was wondering if it was my imagination or if it is really true.   After reviewing the charts on the OC Housing Market provided by Steven Thomas, I see that my gut feeling is right.  Inventory is up year over year about 40% (but still low) and sales are down about 20% year over year. That tells me that we are in a more normal market but that many buyers still can’t find the right house.  (Blue = inventory, Green = buyer demand) Again my intuition tells me that i... 03/25/2014

  I received this from a Lender at our company and wanted to share.  Interesting read...     Commenetary in Green by Quicken Loans Chief Economist     Release Date: March 19, 2014   For immediate release     Now   Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in January indicates that growth in economic activity slowed during the winter months, in part reflecting adverse weather conditions. Labor market indicators were mixed but on balance showed further improvement. The unemployment rate, however, remains elevated. Household spending and business fixed investment continued to advance, while the recovery in the housing sector remained slow. Fiscal policy is restraining economic growth, although the extent of restraint is diminishing. Inflation has been running below t... 03/19/2014
