Orange County Has a Scarcity of Homes for Sale
Despite the claims of the media that this is a buyers' market and that sellers are begging buyers to come buy their homes, Orange County proves the old adages that real estate is local and that it's all about location, location, location.
Two years ago, a buyer might have had his pick of a $500,000 Orange County home and had the time to ponder his choices for several days before making a decision and been pretty certain that his final choice would still be available to purchase.
Today, it's a whole different ball game. If a buyer ponders too long on a well-priced home, he can expect that it will have already received multiple offers, often over list price. Doesn't sound like a buyers' market to you? Well, you're not the only one.
Many buyers who are just starting to look for an Orange County home, are discovering the truths about the current market.
When considering that the price range under $1,000,000 accounts for over 91% of the sales of Orange County homes, it becomes even more apparent that the Orange County homes market for this price is red hot making homes even harder to attain in this market.
So, if you want to take advantage of the low prices and historically low interest rates that are currently available for Orange County homes, what can a potential buyer do?
First, be patient and persistent.
Then, stay tuned for my next post on how to purchase an Orange County home in today's market or call me at 714.319.9751 for an immediate action plan.

Central Costa Mesa is an area of the city, triangular in shape, which is bordered by Harbor Boulevard, Baker Street and Newport Boulevard/ the 55 Freeway.
The Market Report for Central Costa Mesa Homes is below:
Based upon general definitions, it appears that Central Costa Mesa should be in a Sellers' Market though it still appears to be a Buyers' market. Given all that is going on in the credit market and the banking industry, we are in an unusual time and will have to see what happens over the next few months as things hopefully begin to stabilize.

The Mesa Verde neighborhood of Costa Mesa was largely built around the Mesa Verde Country Club, a private club and golf course Costa Mesa Country Club, which is a public course, is also located within Mesa Verde's boundaries.
Most Mesa Verde Costa Mesa homes were built in the 1960's and 1970's, with several of the homes actually built right along the golf course.
Mesa Verde is bordered by Fairview Regional Park and the Costa Mesa Golf Course on the south, Harbor Boulevard on the east, the Santa Ana River to the west, and the 405 (San Diego Freeway) on the north.
The Estancia Adobe, built in the late 1800's is also located within Mesa Verde in Estancia Park, and provides insight into the history of this wonderful area of Costa Mesa.
