If you are considering listing your home, one of the most difficult decisions you will have to make will be how to price it. Proper pricing is the key to getting your home sold and providing you with the greatest profit.
The first thing to know is your Realtor® does understand that you want the most profit possible. Secondly that it is your “home” so there are a lot of emotions tied to it.
When it comes down to figuring out how to price it your Realtor® will guide you in determining what is happening in your local market. But determining the price is a team effort. Of course the standard, location, amenities and competition all are very important, but there are some intangible aspects that proper price provide that will get the seller with best results.
Intangible Benefits of Proper Pricing:
Now you may think these points are common sense but they are often not considered as sellers only focus on getting that high price. Resulting in the home sitting on the market, receiving low ball offers, not getting financing approved and ultimately the seller feeling extremely frustrated.
Price it right = $$$$ in your pocket!

Today, I woke up and feeling a bit stressed, I needed good news. Thank God, my Bible was handy. I then pull up the local paper just to get a snapshot of what is happening today and these are the headlines.
Really are these the top news stories in Orange County, is there any glimmer of hope. Let’s dig and I mean dig for some good news.
Ahh, there is some good news.
This is why I blog, this is why I read blogs because I have to take the media out of “my picture”. I know I can become a news junky, but I also know it is not healthy. I need to be refreshed, I need to know there is hope. The above positives are glimmers of hope yet they were hidden, why because we all know hope does not sell papers.
In this industry we are often criticized for being overly optimistic, not realist. Believe me I don’t think you couldn’t ask any Realtor out there if they aren’t being “real” these days. But with the constant negative headlines thrown at us, we have to stay positive just to keep our sanity! Plus there is good news…..
I am convinced if we report the facts, stay positive, excel in our levels of professionalism the good will shine through. Make sure to continue to write about the good things that are happening in your area, we can change the perception!

The City of Lake Forest is holding two important events regarding housing in the next couple of weeks that you won’t want to miss. First is the final update on the Opportunities Study and the second is a Housing Element meeting.
The Opportunities study.
This study was undertaken to take advantage of an opportunity to re-zone nearly 800 acres of vacant land on six properties in Lake Forest. It's the last opportunity for the city to shape what future development will look like, so the City is taking a proactive role in looking at the features residents have said they want most.
The Housing Element is a meeting required by state law that requires the city to provide a general update every five years. These meetings cover the years from 2006-2014. At these meetings, the Planning Commission and City County will review the Draft 2008 Housing Element prior to submittal of the document for review by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
I am a firm believer; the community you live in is what you make it! Make sure to attend these important meetings to ensure your views are considered.
